Fair.

Yeah, I feel like most continuities don't last long enough for him to learn that lesson. Spider-man 3 was at the point of him proposing to Mary Jane. Garfield's Spider-man got dropped at a down point in his character, and went dark for No Way Home. Tom Holland's has just left high school.

I don't keep up with the comics, but you know, One More Day was a thing. And I can't imagine it's unheard of for new writers to come in and think "oh it's boring that he's married and settled down, there's no DRAMA there!"

Batman has a similar problem. He keeps learning to rely on other people, then shoving them away and trying to do everything himself.

I feel like with Batman, at least the writers tend to acknowledge that Bruce has a Problem [capital P] in this area. I don't see that that often in Spider-media.

No, look, this is the point of the character. No matter what the point in canon, Spiderman has to be on some level a self-sacrificial iron woobie. It is central to his identity and core conceit. He is always going to feel that everything is his responsibility and that he needs to sacrifice to protect everyone else.

I think there is a lot of stuff around the edges of that where he doesn't have to suffer. Having him in a happy marriage works fine for the character, even if he should feel angst about it sometimes. And I will always advocate for the high school science teacher era of the character.

But Peter Parker is always going to be an emotional mess on some level, he is never going to be well adjusted, and he is never going to take care of himself properly.

If he refuses to take care or himself, can't Mary Jane take care of him?

[(Anonymous)]

He's too much of a goody-goody to try use Mary Jane for that, the prude.

[(Anonymous)]

She can (and should) try, but there's always going to be some degree of tension with his innate and unshakable desire to be self-sacrificing.

...I think your secret is making me rethink my life now.
