Greetings, Mr. Wiseman,
Your portrayal of Spider-Man has been part of my childhood â€" it’s still my favorite, as far as I can remember. My English is not the best, but my curiosity overcame my fear of asking, and I hope this doesn’t trigger any kind of spoiler alert.

I’d like to ask you about character development. I’m not trying to bring up any hidden idea disguised as a question; it’s just that the dialogue between Spider-Man and the Green Goblin about “masks” truly struck me on this point. So, I’d like to know:

1. Did you study psychology to develop the characters of the show and the villains? If so, to what extent did you go into it? If not, do you create an impression of the character in your head based on reading so much of the original material?

2. How did you plan the dialogues in a way that both built the characters and moved the story forward?

Thank you for your attention and for all the hard work you’ve put into your shows.
