Guess who's back, back again

You say that Spider-Man is about youth. I never saw him that way, to me he's about responsibility. So the more responsibility you give him, the better the character. Worrying about your Aunt is okay but worrying about your wife and child is a much stronger motivation.

I don’t really want to repeat all of the same arguments that everybody had back in 2007. Nothing has changed since then.

But let me ask you this: if Spider-Man is about responsibility, then how can he continue to be Spider-Man if he has a child? Surely his greatest responsibility is to that child.

Not speaking for the anon, but I don’t buy this. It’s an argument that cops and firefighters and military personnel shouldn’t have children.

How can he continue to be Spider-Man? How can he not? If Spider-Man doesn’t save the world from dictators or destruction, then his child grows up a slave or doesn’t grow up at all.

Let me ask you this: if Peter doesn’t suit up as Spider-Man to stop the Shocker’s crime spree and his daughter ends up killed while he’s robbing a bank, isn’t that a violation of the very concept of the character?
