It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I should change that anyway, I suppose, since she certainly wouldn't be a Spiderman type (she's way more of a sitar type), and if everyone's going to make that association.....
Goddamnit.

Plus in the last 10 years or so, Marvel's done a huge push to publicize Spidey. Hence the clone saga and the baby--heck, Peter and MJ's wedding had the royal treatment. I think a lot of Buffistas are at least marginally comic geeks, and Spider-man is nearly as iconic as Batman and Superman.
Gosh, nearly forgot the "-" in Spider-man. t says the former back stock manager of a comic book store

OK, does this work?
It had been many years since I'd last felt this, and in the past, it had always been an omen, the strands of my web of awareness triggering to the delicate footsteps of something bad to come. Something loomed...

I mean, let's face it, there were arachnids before there was Peter parker - it was Peter Parker that got bit, right? A radioactive spider? I do remember that much, from what Nic told me (yes, my husband is indeed a comics guy).

Oh, yeah, there were spiders (ick) but I doubt they were that big a part of the public awareness till Peter got bit.

Goddamnit, I knew all about the nasty little things, courtesy of getting bit as a kid (black widow, visit to Kentucky) and having the anti-venom and my stupid leg turned green and all that gruesome stuff, and I never heard of Peter Parker except only vaguely until I asked Nic about it. Waaaah! I am NOT a freak!
Surely there were people out there - I can't be the only one who thinks "Charlotte's Web" and not "Spider-man".

Well, sure, "Charlotte's Web," but no so much with the "the senses of the spider are so amazing" thing. See, in America he was even on TV. Plus, in the Buffy world, the phrase "spider-sense" or "spidey-sense" is synonimous with pop culture. Granted, Amanda may be thinking of other things, but your audience is going to go "Huh, comic geek, cool."
