One of the reasons New York City was chosen as the city where Peter Parker lives is because it is a place with a lot of high buildings, there is no way spider man would be able to swing and move around if there were no high buildings that connect themselves to help me swing which made the city the best city for our hero. Also, in the city, there are different cultures and races. The Hero is played to help everyone irrespective of their race, which gave him another nickname, "Neighbor Friendly Spiderman"

One thing New York City is known for is its population, and where there are a lot of people, there would be a lot of crime, giving spiderman the opportunity to fight crime.

If you are a fan of the movie Spider-Man, you might not have noticed the beautiful buildings and how developed the city was when Spider-Man was fighting Doctor Octopus on the train. The train was moving through the city, and it was still under development, which might lead to another city.

New York City's beautiful the urban landscape adds a layer of realism to the film, making the superhero life look like the normal everyday life of people living in the city. The city's crowded streets, towering skyscrapers, and hidden alleyways provide the perfect environment for Spider-Man's crime-fighting exploits.

New York City has a rich cinematic history, there are so many films that have been shot in the city, from King Kong (1933) to Taxi Driver (1976).
