It’s almost like Peter (and to an extent, MJ as his love interest) did such an effective job ending the repetitive and overtly cyclical Silver Age that the entire industry changed to follow him, mostly because he never abided by those “rules” in the first place... only for him to become the modern poster-child for an attempted reinstitution of those same rules, more so than other characters (who tend to either stay “progressed” or get rebooted so they *can* progress.)
