Ya'll always act like Felicia never takes initiative with Peter or gives him hard realities. She's one of the people that has always kept it 100 with him in that way.
Black Cat has already accepted Peter's duality as Spider-Man. She also isn't playing 'jealous' of that life. She works with it. Did some of ya'll not catch the Valentine's Day issue?
She's supportive of his heroes life, because she understands it, she does the same things he does with a dual life as a hero and as a civilian. She gets it more than most and she knows how important his superhero life is. It wasn't something she had to 'accept' from the perspective of a civilian. It's something she understands fully because she lives a similar life.
She's also never shied away from being up front with him, even when he's having a dark moment where he doesn't want to hear it.
As you see. Heck even in the comics when they went back and added more context to the FIRST time they dated(when he was Black Suit) she was very up front with him about Aunt May, whom she adored and felt like he was taking for granted. She didn't "fall in line" with who he was back then either. Now they've both grown and if anything she helps guide him more than he ever "Falls in line" with her. The most recent issue of them together where she made him confront his feelings for MJ and give her an honest answer because she wanted him to be honest with himself shows that.
But ya'll keep trying to put traits on Felicia that she's already grown past. Her character growth is the very reason why she and Peter work as well as they do right now. So it's about time people actually acknowledged it instead of acting like this is the same Felicia of pre-2002. She isn't.
Always also with the "moral compass" with Felicia. She does the things she does now to help people she loves. The reason she wanted to do the last heist situation she did was to try to save her dying mother. THAT is something Peter would understand as Peter himself bends the rules to suit a purpose and has many a time when he's worked with the underworld, or even his enemies towards a common goal or one he understands. He understands and would help Felicia in that situation. That is what separates Peter from Odessa whom will never compromise her Thieves Guild or their code, even if Felicia's mother's life was on the line. This is what created their current separation. Heck even Mary Jane went into the underworld with Black Cat in order to find out information and Peter has done so with Black Cat numerous times. Her 'exploits' aren't something that bother Peter at this point. Felicia would never ask Peter to not be Spider-Man, and Spider-Man wouldn't ask Felicia to not be her.
As far as a moral compass goes? Felicia had a demon literally offer her the world on a silver platter, but the DEAL BREAKER was forcing everyone she's ever loved to love her back. She turned it down flat. Because the demon was trying to prey on the aspects of who she used to be, not who she is now. Felicia's not the same character she was 25 years ago. She's better. Be nice if the people trying to pin traits on her she's grown past actually acknowledged that.
So true.
