I see what the writer is saying for sure but I’ll be honest and say Spider-Man wasn’t the best choice of superhero to try to make this point
I just want to start this sentence with saying that I know literally nothing about Captain America, but I'm willing to bet that Captain America would be a much better choice. Maybe not the current reincarnation, as most movie studios have realized that not everyone is pro establishment. But maybe Captain America of a few decades ago.
I mean, there was k8nd of a whole event that lead to a massive super powered civil war where Cap lead the charge on the "rebel," side. The movie didn't do it justice, at all, but still had Cap on the anti-government interference side.
While you were writing that, I was expanding my comment as the current (2010ish and later) super hero writers have kind of realized that government isn't inherently good. Which time frame are you referencing?
Civil War happened in 06-07 in the comics, so pretty close to that era.
