I realize this may sound extreme but hear me out. I was just rewatching Linkara's OMD review and something he said really hit me this time. Marvel just can't seem to get Spider-Man right. Now that's not to say writers of Spidey can't, many have, but things seem to always have Peter heading back to high school at least mentally. Here's the argument in question
What does this have to do with Spider-Ock? It's an attempt to make Spider-Man more adult. I have just realized this. That's all it is. There's nothing wrong with a more adult Spider-Man, especially if he's SUPPOSED to be an adult, but here's the thing. IT ISN'T PETER!!!!!!!!!!! Marvel seems inept at getting Spider-Man as an adult right. As Linkara said: "If the creative teams are unwilling to let him get out of his high school life, then why the hell isn't he still there?"
This is something that makes me seriously despise Spider-Ock even more as an idea. I choose to believe Peter is still alive and under the delusion he's Ock, but if it comes out that this whole shame was a way to right him like an adult I don't even......
Okay, my point is this. If they have to have a different person posing as Peter Parker to write him like an adult, then what's the point?
