Well if Spider-man grows up, after marrying MJ, he loses his aunt, then he start working, paying bills, have a family maybe some 40s crisis, a divorce, etc. etc. many young readers that came at that time wont feel related to those stories, and those who may feel related to that wont be as much as an audience. I dont have the numbers but it seems obvious that comic readers of superheroes are more between 10-25 than 30-50... so why wont you allow the newcomers to this world of comics feel related with one of the most iconic characters? Ultimate spiderman back in the 2000s was a big windows to welcome new readers who otherwise wont related with a Peter Parker who was a married man with some couple crisis, who was a teacher, etc. etc. I think it makes perfect sense. Maybe for us, older readers they should come with limited series in his adulthood, so we can enjoy the character in a new stage of his life, one that we can relate more easly now. I personally don't worry about that, I enjoy a teenage or young adult Peter parker. Right now the new ultimate series set him as a 30, 40 Yo man... Is kind of interesting, but I get bored after the appearence of Green Goblin.
Valid argument, just wanna clarify the 'always' part of the video title was me tryna say 'I don't mind Peter being a teenager in some/most forms of media but he should be allowed to grow up every now and then'
I guess this is kinda like "Ironman" and "Iron Man" Spider-Man *feels* right, Spiderman or Spider Man don't. But, honestly, w/ Ironman, I feel like if Batman is "Batman" and not Bat Man or Bat-Man then it should make sense theoretically for ironman to not be written out as Iron Man. Iron Man makes me think of a dude who has clothing irons all over him (y'know, like the irons used to press suits to take the wrinkles out?) but Ironman, _that_ is Tony Stark. Batman is Batman, not "The Batman" or Bat-Man or Bat Man. It looks weird. Also just saying _The_ Batman sounds weird, like he's a man-bat hybrid like Man-Bat is. And Man-Bat actually makes sense having that hyphen there because it's similar to Spider-Man. He's a Man with Bat-like qualities, not a rich dude who dresses-up-as a bat to fight crime. He was essentially mutated into being an anthropomorphic bat. Ironman, Superman, Batman Wonder Woman, not Wonderwoman as that just looks weird. In some ways, I understand writing it out as "Wonderwoman" or "Blackwidow" instead-of "Black Widow," as spaces can be annoying/it's much more easier to make those all compound words.
Why don't you get angry at something worth getting angry about, Like people throwing thrash in the ocean or children starving in africa? Instead you're losing your mind over something meaningless.
Whoever said he needed to be a teenager is either a old head since the 60s or or someone that was born in the 2000s . As a 90s kid who haven't gotten in the comics since 16. Most of the Spider-Man adaptations that I have watched back then, he was always viewed as a college kid / young adult til like the mid-2000s with the ultimate Spider-Man video games. What is cool that you know they showing his humble beginnings, a person didn't care for it because at that time we have watched so many superhero there are teenagers that I prefer those then Spider-Man. Key word man
Hey not to be rude but i think your animation needs something new. Ive been watching a while now and i feel like some animation principles arent respected. I get that it is harder with what i assume is puppet animation, but you could try, right?
3:04-3:19 Okay, what happens if I write spider-man without the Hyphen for the sole purpose of a joke about this or for Spider-Man to go to the daily bugle and argue with Jonah about the Hyphen
Yeah, but which is worse? "Spiderman" or "Spider Man"? Personally I think "Spider Man" looks better than "Spiderman", but "SPIDERMAN" looks better than "SPIDER MAN"
First of all I salute you for enforcing the hyphen, but secondly the punishments aren’t harsh enough. I don’t mind ketchup (I’ve drank packets of ketchup on their own unironically), I enjoyed Morbius, and Madame Web isn’t bad enough that you can’t watch it unironically.
One mentality I used the help me remember the hyphen is that the hyphen links the "Spider" and the "Man", as in, it links Spidey (the spider, his super hero identity) and Peter Parker (the man, his civilian identity), to reflect how important his civilian life is to the character, you can't have the spider without the man, and vice-versa, so the hyphen is there to link the two. That was my interpretation as a kid, at least.
