I am currently 18 and about to enter college. I live in Eastern Spain (Valencia) which naturally has a pretty warm climate. My anxiety has been getting worse with time and i tire myself out from reading statistics of how much worse everything is getting and what could and could not happen. I've already accepted that i will face adversities and will be forced to adapt, and i also have already decided that i most probably won't have children. Now, i guess i am writing this in search of a bit of hope but i also won't ask you to sugarcoat it. And maybe it is a bit selfish to ask this question this way, but i just need to know how much climate change will directly affect ME in the upcoming years, how much i will struggle to live a normal life or to live at all.

I guess where i'm getting at is just

Will climate change kill me? How likely is it that i will be able to achieve my dreams in my lifetime? How likely is it that I'll ever grow old?

All i can remember is that it was released in the 2000s and the title was just one word. I don't know if it was completely found footage or just some scenes because I never saw it but the poster and backdrop on letterboxd seemed like they had this blueish night vision lighting. The psycho's face was in one of the poster's with that same lighting i think and it was really creepy

I've noticed that the over-santification of Peter Parker in the last few years, which I definitely agree with, has also generated a sentiment of claiming that the original Peter was actually a huge jerk and a hot-head. I'll say this upfront just in case: I've read all the way through Lee/Ditko, Lee/Romita, Conway, Wein, Wolfman, O'Neil, Stern and I'm currently on DeFalco's run, so don't try to bring up "larping".

The Raimi movies definitely did some damage by popularizing the all-good, shy and unproblematic version of Peter Parker, though i wouldn't put the blame on them since they were doing their own interpretation of the story. The problem is that now this has come to people demonizing the old Peter just to prove a point. Of course that interpretations of characters are subjective, but I've seen people say that he was a jackass before the bite and even that he was more of an anti-hero in the early years.

First of all, Peter definitely had his issues. He had a tendency to crash out and lose his temper, just like almost any other kid his age. But Peter was raised by May and Ben Parker, he absolutely was a good kid from the start, it's only that the bullying he received made him bitter against the world, which in turn made him seem cold or rude to other people. This is quite a realistic depiction of bullying, because most of us would be like Peter if we were in his circumstances. He definitely became a jerk once he got corrupted by the power from the spider bite, but Uncle Ben's death taught him a lesson. We all know the story. The point is, I've heard people say that Spider-Man's origin is a redemption story and I agree, it's just that he had that goodness in him before thanks to his uncles, but being human and imperfect still made him vulnerable to going down a dark path. The redemption still works this way, and if anything it's more believable that Ben's death would make him realize his mistakes because he was raised to recognize them as such than to go from huge jerk to hero because of it (i know it's not that simple, but still).

I think the problem comes from some people seeing things in extremes. Black and white. He was either a saint or an asshole. Peter most ceirtanly struggled to find his way even after Ben's death, as in his early years as Spider-Man he still acted selfish and temperamental sometimes, like any other kid his age would act in his place, but he wasn't doing good just because "he felt like he owed it to Uncle Ben". Peter did good because he was good deep down, he just needed that lesson of responsibility.
