Why Spider-Man 2 is the Ultimate Power Fantasy

“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up.” Watch an exclusive companion video on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/storystreet Follow me on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/storystreet.bsky.social Footage from Longplay Archive: Longplay of Resident Evil (2002) (HD): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3kU3Z9z6AI Longplay of Batman: Arkham Knight (2/2): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n34KMjkhRn0 Longplay of Splinter Cell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48LFG-vitSA Longplay of God of War (2005) (HD): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLLkc5iBICk Longplay of DOOM (2016): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGs6_Qtdi3c Longplay of Bloodborne - The Old Hunters (DLC): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_Go_sEngxM Longplay of Spider-Man Remastered: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oF4HneqTFuw&t=1s Longplay of Spider-Man: Miles Morales: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06ahuvzeyg8&t=7s Longplay of Spider-Man 2 (2023) (1/2): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-i5CqJmj78&t=8772s Longplay of Spider-Man 2 (2023) (2/2): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acg4oNoXBHE&t=30041s Longplay of Bioshock Remastered: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSntXtRA-xk Longplay of Shadow of the Colossus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eAo6DiiX3A&t=14351s Longplay of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade (3/3): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynHdVgiFQT0&list=PLILjRAt8_i8-purpQ2ncfteTiCBgxoR_B&index=15 Longplay of Stray: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eO4ZY-zfY-M&list=PLILjRAt8_i8-purpQ2ncfteTiCBgxoR_B&index=28 Footage from World of Longplays: PC Longplay [056] Sekiro Shadows Die Twice (Part 1 of 4): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBSK7bTTtfg PS4 Longplay [028] Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End (part 2 of 3): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cjyRL6HhVc Wii U Longplay [008] Bayonetta (part 2 of 2): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5VkxnF_hns PC Longplay [647] Life is Strange Episode 1 - Chrysalis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MzJkwj9VJw Footage from Throneful: Just Cause 4 - Open World Free Roam Gameplay (PC HD) [1080p60FPS]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-NnE89bYa4 Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Gameplay (PC HD) [1080p]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuQzMGjVwr8 Saints Row 4 Gameplay (PC UHD) [4K60FPS]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiGH0dv-gZU Misc.: Hitman 3 - Official Launch Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z29ORu6_p34 Official Minecraft Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmB9b5njVbA The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Official Trailer #3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHGShqcAHlQ Halo 3 CGI Trailer - Starry Night (Superbowl commercial) [HD]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKDkKKt9Y7I Final Fantasy 16 - Combat Gameplay Overview | State of Play 2023: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNulcTtGU9Q 12 Minutes of Final Fantasy 16 Eikon (Summons) Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbZOF2iB9j4 Humanity - Gameplay Series Part 1: Action-Puzzle Basics | PS5, PS4, PSVR, & PS VR2 Games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZQtoHkKB7o Movies/TV: Spider-Man 3 The Spectacular Spider-Man All other gameplay footage by myself Music from Epidemic Sound: “The Palm and Sunset” by Ruiqi Zhao “First Wave” by Sven Lindvall “Is This Love a Waiting Game (Instrumental Version)” by The Big Let Down “Overflowed” by Static Glow Sounds “Steall Waters” by Luba Hilman “Voids” by Static Glow Sounds “As Ice Melts” by Calm Shores “Equanimity” by 369 “Arctic Embers” by Eden Avery “Infinite Horizon” by Tellsonic “Last Cassette” by William Claeson “Thyone” by Ben Elson “Nightlight” by DEX 1200 “Two Moons” by Christoffer Moe Ditlevsen “Descends to Rise” by DEX 1200 and Hanna Ekström “Standing on a Mountain Top” by Rebecca Mardal “Let it Enfold You” by Johannes Bornlöf “Black Champagne (Instrumental Version)” by Hennie Hun Description Credit: "The Painted Drum" by Louise Erdrich
