I was thinking about this while re-watching TASM2. In the movie Peter refuses to give Harry Spider-Man's blood so he takes a serum instead that basically turns him insane. If he wasn't so secretive he could've worked with Harry on helping him find a cure. I mean Peter is basically a genius right? Also Gwen wouldn't have died. Not only that but Uncle Ben wouldn't have died if Peter had just told him what was going on.
I also always wondered this about the show Smallville. I feel like Clark never trusting Lex with his secret pushed him more towards villainy and causing him extreme trust issues.
Obviously this is all necessary storytelling and lines up with comic book history. And of course there wouldn't be much of a plot without these situations. I'm just speaking hypothetically and wondered what everybody thought. Do you think having a secret identity and protecting it so closely actually causes more harm than good? Especially to those closest to the person?
