Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
Ben asks Peter to understand ability as something that brings obligations with it. His advice acquires greater force through Peter's later loss and choices. This page identifies the line's use in the 2002 film, rather than claiming that the film originated the earlier comic's moral theme.
