...comes closer to knocking you off your seat, and you can feel every fall. Part of what makes the Spider-Man movie franchise so endearing is its sentimentality. You like Peter Parker, and you sympathize with him. When his Aunt May gives him loving advice, when he makes a bonehead remark to Mary Jane, you wince and wish he’d take it back.

Hotchner (Hotch), sometimes called Sawtooth, to help him with a Christmas project that he was assembling in this basement, which wasn't a basement in the usual sense.
