never answered me. And I think I tried a few times. Like, but you know that these couldn't possibly be true stories, right? You know that. I read comic books. You've seen it. You see me reading comic books. What would be the evidence that Spider-Man exists that would be different from the evidence, you know? So that's sort of the direction I went.
