It's a blend of art and engineering. I don't appreciate a lot of traditional art. Music, movies and TV, but not theater or paintings or most sculpture. But a good looking car just draws your eyes to it like an attractive person, but it's rude to stare at people. It's almost rude to NOT stare at a Porsche 911 GT3 RS.
Then there's the beauty of the engineering. Thousands of parts working together to make one beautiful machine do what it's supposed to do. It's like how society is supposed to work. But instead of a GT3 RS, we've got a '96 Dodge neon with no working starter, only two working forward gears, a door that won't open and electrical issues.
In today's world it's harder and harder to justify being a car guy, but I've loved em since I can remember.
Edit: I would add to that, the same feelings I have about cars being a blend of art and engineering, is the same reason I have a great respect for architecture. True great architecture is also a blend of art and engineering. You can replace the Porsche with Notre Dame, while the F-150 can be replaced with a modern factory. Utilitarian garbage.
Command and conquer, rush the resources, keep the other side in poverty by surrounding their base with turrets and laugh like J.Jonah Jameson as they try to aquire more resources, or build advanced buildings.
I did that on command and conquer generals. The aurora plane was kind of a pain in the ass because you couldn't really swarm them, because you could generally use 2 for any building. But if you got good at it, it was very hard to defend against.
Plus imagine a worn out 40 year old spider-man still pulling his punches after the 8th time fighting doc oc. "Man I am fuckin DONE with this shit!" One-punching through the back of his skull.
Spiderman is an entry level superhero. He's easy to like quippy, legitimately good. So it makes sense to have Spider-Man be young. To give it that much more relatability to him. Most kids aren't going to be into something like the punisher, and not should they be. That's a level of psychology and darkness that no kid or teen should be at. Keep Peter young. As they grow, they'll come to like other characters.
They can search your car under "reasonable suspicion" if it's messy. That's the whole flashlight thing they do, to check your back seat before the front. It's basically a quick check if you might have drugs or weapons. But if your car is messy enough they can't tell, they might ignore it or they might search it. Reasonable suspicion is so broad that as long as they can argue their point, it's accepted. In this case, a man who allegedly murdered someone would automatically be reasonable suspicion that he might have the weapon on him.
Fred durst was a douche, but they made some really good songs at just the right time. I really wish we still had people making angry music that wasn't just shitty death metal. We need a new rage against the machine. Run the jewels is good but not spicy enough.
