>>102987055>Tragedy happens to him but that's not what his stories are about at all.It's an over simplification on my part, but hopefully you get what I mean. If you didn't have tragedy, you wouldn't have Spider-Man.
>He isn't exactly the reverse-Gary Stu and we know what happens when writers try making him into that, no one wants to see a Peter Parker that gets constantly shit on and belittled.I was more or less talking about how there's a primary focus, at least in his good stories, how a hero's life would affect a normal person. It gets in the way and he has to make hard decisions. A great example is the Ditko run, it affected his life in a major way, but he was still somewhat respected, even Jameson of all people went as far as to say he was the best photographer he's ever had.
>Also it's a comic book, no death is permanentIt's an issue I take with it when it comes to Spider-Man. In other series that kind of stuff makes sense, but name one Spider-Man revival story that was good.
> Flash I don't mind because his death was shit and Peter got over it quickly. it wasn't a powerful deathWhich is why Slott is shit. It should have lead into and entire arc centered around Peter's late friend.
>Because the editors and writers are pretending that never happenedWhich is my problem exactly. Marvel refuses to let him grow now, when his entire premise is to grow.
