The line comes from Spider-Man, the 2002 film starring Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker, where it opens his narration before his origin story unfolds. Online, the moment was adopted by meme creators and paired with Spooderman, a deliberately badly drawn parody version of the hero that spread through forums and image boards. That mix of sincere superhero drama and silly parody kept the quote circulating in edits and remixes. Later Spider-Man films and characters such as Spider-Man 2099 renewed interest in older clips, helping this opening survive as a familiar intro joke.
