** Flint Marko's whole character in this film is sad: [[spoiler: His daughter is terminally ill. Flint is desperate and resorts to partnering with a criminal to get money, only to end up arrested for an AccidentalMurder - and he was only arrested because he stayed behind to call for help for his accidental victim, while his partner dies. When he escapes from jail, he accidentally falls into a testing site and turned into the Sandman. He then tries to use his powers to just commit ''one'' big robbery, just one for the sake of his daughter, but he keeps getting thwarted and left empty-handed by Spider-Man, who almost ''kills'' him the second time because he's the nephew of Marko's accidental murder victim. Marko becomes desperate enough to partner with another criminal, a ''supervillain'' this time, to kill Spider-Man and stop his interference. Once ''again'' his partner dies, and he comes to term that everyone now sees him as a monster and that nothing he can do will save his daughter or make up for the bad things he's done. Peter's forgiveness of him is his sole consolation. ''Damn'', is that sad.]]

* MJ being upset over all the critics of her play lambasting her performance, contextualizing her feelings as "I read these words and it's like my father wrote them." Heartbreaking to see someone who wanted to make a life for herself to escape the words of her AbusiveParent and the negative feelings they gave her, only to feel like she hasn't escaped the abuse at all.
