yeah, like i get why irl...but it’s just less interesting. and it’s an approach that makes 616 plot armour too apparent
i did like how that squadron supreme world had succeeded against at least 1 incursion prior, but their chances of winning against 616 Illuminati was never in doubt once the two met
and i couldn’t see any reason for 616 peter being more special than the other spiders in spiderverse beyond ...he’s ours. which is a bit egocentric. i think either expanding snowflake status to others or somehow proving why 616 is more important would have been a more fascinating approach

there have been some towering talents that worked under the “illusion of change” mandate. like, practically all of marvel post 70s. let’s not forget that the marriage itself was really just another iteration of that
and despite cartoon stan’s tears, irl stan became a vocal supporter of illusion of change (calling it “the secret to success”)...even though his initial approach was far more disruptive
tends to be what happens with hard earned success. you become more concerned with how to keep it than how to continue blazing a trail

In 2018, the "real thing" has become more and more ambiguous. This isn't 1966, when the only version of Spider-Man was what was coming in the comics. Now you have people for whom the MCU version is the "real thing." Then you have young children for whom the cartoon will be "the real thing." Then you probably have elderly folks or boomers for whom the daily strip is "the real thing".
Is there an actual "real thing," yeah, but in this day and age for the average person who knows and calls themselves a Spider-Man fan it's not relevant. Note that the average person who calls themselves a Spider-Man fan, they are probably not reading "the real thing." So there's that. In this day and age, an alternate reality can survive with stuff like Kickstarter, fan petitions, webcomics, etc.
yeah, things may work out more positively in their universe...but they all still got incursioned while 616 chugged along. in the end it was our doom, nobody else’s who saved everything
like how even if three alternate reed richards’ attain the infinity gauntlet, only ours survives and succeeds
or if any peter parkers from those what if worlds were in spider-verse, they all take a backseat to mr 616. on paper, ben reilly from
earth 94 seemed like the better candidate than our petey in many ways (and no, that’s not my clone bias showing), but he ain’t the lead and his plot armour is thin
again, i get it. i know sometimes they’re just literary foils for our guy. i just miss the way it used to be portrayed (or at least my perception of it)

And yet each subsequent animated series has reset Spider-Man time and time again, so that disproves what I say how, exactly? Sorry bud, still not annihilated.
Cool, and how many of the Spider-Man films, video games and main-continuity books have launched with Peter being a father, middle-aged, or married? Why do you think he's always reset as younger, being in school or at university?Peter was a husband for 20 years mainstream. He's been a husband for 31 years elsewhere...far longer than he's ever been single.
Peter's years as a father elsewhere, if you count both MC2 and RYV, have also totalled 20 years. On equal par with how long he's been a husband mainline wise.
And are they still married? Let that sink in.BTW, Tom King co-won an eisner for writing a story where Bruce and Selina were happily married...let that sink in.
