Why can't Marvel make Betty Brant Peter's Love Interest Once Again?

[Frontier]

I know nothing about Betty beyond Spectacular Spider-Man, and this thread makes her out to be this overdramatic, chaotic shrew who only exists to be hot and cause trouble. Honestly, I'd love for a love interest like that. Just a little gremlin, doing bad things.

You're not wrong.

so far in my readthrough all she proves is that she isnt loyal to her marriage mate. Twice she attempted to have an affair one with Peter who broke it off and another one with Flash that did commence

Thought she and Peter went all the way.

Perhaps it was research for a story. She thought he might be Spider-man and was checking all aspects for any signs of spider.

The book cuts away from them and the caption says something about it being inappropriate for the reader to stay in the room with them.

Read that how you like.

Basically the Invincible method of segue .

I'm going to assume the writer implied that they did

Seeing how they were shown kissing, kinda hard to imagine anything other than sex being the answer.

It was clearly Parcheesi time.

Betty isn’t crazy. What she went through with Ned, her brother, working under Jameson’s anti Spider-Man propaganda, and Peter’s flaking when she needed him combined with her lack of confidence allows for most of her stories to make sense. Modern Betty will have struggles with all the hobgoblin drama but she’s grown as a character. Peter and Betty love each other in a plutonic way, understanding they enjoy each other the most as friends.

Mary Jane’s flexibility with social situations, work, and experience with spider drama is why it’s hard to find a better love interest. Betty, Liz, Carlie, and most of the grounded characters have too much responsibility and needed structure to be successful.

Even if Felecia love’s Peter Parker as much as spider-man. Peter too grounded in a normal day to day world for her.

To answer the OP, Betty has a kid. That's why she's out of the running as a romantic interest. If Peter can't be married because "it ages him", I think it's fair to say that Spider-Step-Dad ages him more.

Definitely. Besides in Spideyofficeville life ends at "I do." and Betty already said it

Forget Betty/Peter romance.
But should Betty be let in on the secret of Spider-Man being Peter?

I think it would be good and make sense, but it’d just lead to a hostage scenario and Peter’s fear coming true. I mean sure, you can tel her, but what do you do with that? At least Jonah has had some fun moments where he harangues Peter and gets pissed at him for not doing what Jonah thought he should do.
