But isn't this a choice Spider-Man makes in the PS4 game? He effectively sacrifices his aunt to save New York.

I know it's not his child, but it's a similar decision.

The full context of the situations are completely different other than they'd have to sacrifice a loved one.

Only in the bare minimum, the other details and context are still important when looking at the characters' decisions.

Could you elaborate on those differences?

I don't see what details or context would differentiate these two scenarios. If anything, I only see how much harder it would have been for Spider-Man, and how selfish Mark is.

One is being offered the opportunity to go back in time and change events that already happened and will result in his daughter being erased.

The other had to choose between curing millions of a virus that is currently affecting people and spreading or curing just one at the cost of everyone else.
