In Spider-Man: The Hero's Quest, "Nick Fury" says something meaningful to Peter Parker: "If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight." This quote comes from Shakespeare, and it foreshadows the development of the film after that.
In Venice, Italy, "Nick Fury" recruits a reluctant Spider-Man and a new superhero mystic to stop the elemental crowd from another dimension. On the ship to the secret headquarters, the spy chief and teenage superhero recall the late Tony Stark. At this time, "Nick Fury" quoted Shakespeare's famous phrase "if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight", which is of great significance to Spider-Man and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
This quote comes from the second part of Shakespeare's Henry IV, which King Henry uttered in the first scene of act III. King Henry spent most of his reign defending himself, preventing rebellion, dodging assassination, and uncovering plots against him. In Shakespeare's play, Henry says in a monologue: "If you want to wear a crown, you will bear its weight." "He was tired, sick, overwhelmed by the responsibility of being king. Shakespeare's Henry was a weak ruler who feared his throne being taken away, probably because, as a usurper, he did not think he deserved the divine power that God had given him.
This phrase has a deeper meaning in Spider-Man: The Hero's Journey. For Peter Parker, the teenage superhero felt unprepared or unfit to take on the responsibilities of "the next Iron Man." After Tony's death, Peter has been battling the idea that Spider-Man will replace Iron Man, and even the news media wondered if he would become the next leader of the Avengers. Peter Parker's summer vacation to Europe was his chance to escape and pursue MJ. But his vacation was hijacked by "Nick Fury" because as a superhero he had to face the responsibilities to deal with.
However, from the perspective of "Nick Fury", the phrase is even more appealing. The subtlety here is that Talos lives under the paranoia of the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. by imitating Nick Fury. Because Talos is the embodiment of Nick Fury, he is ultimately tasked with uncovering and stopping the mystery. His quote from Shakespeare can also be seen as a comment about himself, his own doubts, and his deep-seated conviction that he was not enough to take Nick Fury's place, but he had to do so anyway.
So while Peter Parker and his classmates didn't get the science education they had hoped for when they traveled around Europe, audiences who watched Spider-Man: The Hero's Expedition were inspired by Shakespearean enlightenment.
