Q
Anonymous asked:
Why was there so much panic over Spider-Man being being a parent among editorial when Sue Richards, Wolverine and Luke Cage didn't have their popularity affected and the father/son dynamic between Cyclops and Cable is one of the best parts of X-Men to me? It seems like when done well, the added responsibility and character dynamics are actually a benefit to the series.

Spider-Man is about youth, and it’s difficult for a character to be about youth when he has a child of his own. That’s a fundamental difference from Sue, Wolverine, Luke and whomever else.
Yes Spider-Man is about youth…which is why Stan Lee always intended him to age and get married. Apparently Stan Lee didn’t get Spider-Man.
He’s about responsibility Tom. Not youth. Never youth. Because how many youths, even in the 1960s, had the entirely adult responsibility of providing for their family on their own. Not many.

I don’t get why this is getting such shitty responses. Peter is a man-child. Not everyone has kids. phantomroxas liked this
