Imma ask a dumb question here, and I know it’s stupid, but I am very confused
I was watching Ultimate Spider-Man, and in the episodes where Uncle Ben is talked about or shown, it’s kinda implied that Peter…had nothing to do with his death? Like, the most Peter says is that “he couldn’t save him” but there’s no talk of GUILT guilt. Specifically, when he’s talking to White Tiger and it flashes back to when he cornered the guy who killed Ben, all Pete says is that he had him cornered and could’ve killed him but he didn’t because he would’ve been as bad as him. I know it wouldn’t fit the scene to talk about his guilt, but that REALLY feels like they dropped the “he died BECAUSE of me” thing. Not saying it’s true, but that is what Pete believes. And they never mention it I don’t think. Moreover, in the same White Tiger scene, Peter says Ben was killed for no reason. I feel like any other Peter would NOT say that.
Idk if this is an Ultimate Spider-Man change (I didn’t read the comics), but all I’m wondering is if the show dropped the whole “it’s my fault” thing.
Like, did I miss a scene where Pete straight up talks about it being his fault? Because even in the Nightmare episode, all he says is he couldn’t save him. He can’t save people every day. That is 100% not the same thing as “I could’ve stopped his murderer and I didn’t cause I was angry”
