Opinion, Do you perfer to read or watch about High School Peter or Adult Peter?

You mean a show where we enjoy seeing characters be petty, miserable, and annoying? Sounds like a soap opera to me.

You appear to have very unique definitions of soap opera, Peanuts, and Bugs Bunny.

You’re right. There’s less sex in Peanuts.

If you want to know some of the limitations of high school Spider-Man, look at today’s issues and know we would not get that type of content.

I’ve also seen a ton of twiiter comments about wanting to start reading the comics… if you want to appeal to teenagers … comics about sexy 20-something year olds works wonders. I know, I was a teen during the marriage era.

And if I think that Romance stories are overrated?

College Peter?

I am not a fan of character regression in comics so while early 20`s is my favorite age for the character, I would never want comic`s to go backwards.

I totally agree with you

I was a few months from turning 16 when Peter and Mary Jane got married.

Don't know what to tell you, it's always been and always be a big aspect of Spider-Man so ... just focus on the other parts I guess...

If you don't like "soap opera" elements and romance then you'd probabaly be better off reading another book.

I guess I should stick to watching cartoons then.

Adult with a wife and a kid. I know he has multiple alt-future daughters but it would be interesting to see Pete deal with the responsibility of being a new father and a superhero.

Maybe even have MJ die and he has to be a solo parent (with Aunt May’s help) and he has to tell May that he’s Spider-Man and the conversations she would have with him about how she’s proud of him being a hero but his child has to come first now.

You could eventually revive MJ but have that single father period.

An MJ who dies but eventually resurrects reminds me of Abrams' Adjectiveless Spider-Man lol.

Woah, that's one of the hottest takes I've seen in my life, congrats, haven't been this baffled in a while lol.

College/Adult Peter ever day ever. I hate constantly going back to the high school setting. It only took 23-25 issues for Stan to have him graduate, and that was 50 years ago. Even the Raimi movies started in high school, and graduated half way through the first one. High School Pete is not a major part of his history.

High School is too limited. You just can't 'skip' and fight super villains without people calling your parents. Being in College/adult opens things up. He go where he wants, stay out as long as he needs, get his own apartment... I gotta say one of my favorite things in No Way Home was when Aunt May was getting busted for child endangerment because she knew and encouraged his costume life. While not my favorite aspects of the franchise, there are more 'romance' aspects as an adult. High School Pete has zero business with any kind of a Black Cat story. She'd eat him alive and probably end up on some registry somewhere.

Doesn't that just remove a lot of drama in Peter's life (which is apparently a bad thing)?

Well part of what makes Spider-man timeless is he is dealing with real life, every day, relatable issues. This means relationships come with the territory. This includes romantic interests. It is part of the characters inherent appeal.

It removes the drama of being a minor but it adds the drama of trying to be an adult, so not really.

Exactly.

I see it as a 'believable' drama vs 'unrealistic' drama. Kids are too monitored. Parents (ideally) know where they are all day. If Peter did half the stuff they try to have him get away with now, he'd have been expelled from school. You just can't 'disappear' like that without people noticing. They take attendance about 6 times a day. College? They're tougher than they should be... but there's more freedom to come and go as you want. There's still consequences. Miss the lectures, miss the assignments, grades are dropping... but it's not ILLEGAL to blow it off and do what you want. They don't get your parents involved or monitor how many working hours you can actually put in.

You can have the drama of love triangle between Mary Jane and Black Cat... and maybe things can progress, but now it's not creepy or statutory rape or child porn or anything. Adults open room for MORE story and MORE Drama than kids do.
