Genuinely feels like they're just quoting the first Raimi Spider-Man film as that line is more or less said during the bridge battle between Spider-Man and Green Goblin because of how close to 9/11 the release was. Originally promo material included Spider-Man webbing a helicopter between the twin towers but that was scrubbed almost everywhere after the obvious.

The only reference to the towers that was left after were limited promo shots where the towers could be seen in the reflections of the mask eye lenses.
