Because teenagers usually struggle with their sense of identity and try to figure out who they want to be and i enjoy stories like that and thats where i like peter parker the most

Reading Spiderman as a teen he seems more relatable and you can feel what he goes through.

1st: it makes Peter more unique, all the other A-list heroes are adults. 2nd: having a teenage hero facing adult villains is more dramatic, the hero has 1 more disadvantage to overcome. 3rd: the relationship drama is more fun to follow

I used to love teenage Peter Parker, but I find that most media aside from Spectacular and the Ultimate comics actually don't do it well. He's either in highschool too little, or he is instead treated like a little kid. Adult Peter just highlights the responsibility and stuggles of the everyman.

616 Teenager stories were his beginning, it was always a starting point that was unique for the time but the whole point of spiderman is his evolution and adulthood is where it's at, only time I liked a newer teenage Spidey was Ultimate, but that was a reimagining of the character so it makes sense

I mostly read him as a college student, 70s Spider Man is my Spider Man.

While there are definitely teenage Peters that I love (such as Ultimate and Spectacular), the peak age for Spider-Man is like the young adult years (as in TAS and the Raimi/Webb movies). IMO, what makes it the perfect age is the crossroads-y nature of it, as he could truly go one way or another.

Started reading superhero comics with JMS' Spider-Man, so adult Spider-Man is "my Spider-Man." Doesn't mean I dislike teenage Spider-Man and IMO it made sense for the MCU version to start with that.

In my opinion adulthood comes with more responsibility, and that's why it fits Peter, a hero all about responsibility better, also parenthood bring an extra level of responsibility too, that's why Peter should be an adult father

The general population will never fully associate anyone else with Spider-Man but Peter, Miles deserves his own identity.

There are 4 green lanterns. 6+ Robins 3 flashes and in young justice 2 aquamen. I don’t see a problem with 2 spider-men

Generally not a big fan of this mantle multiplying (except for GL kinda) I just tolerate it at this point, like really I feel it detracts from the significance of a character holding the mantle and I imagine it's somewhat confusing for the inuniverse characters who don't know their real identities.

I think he has a perfect costume to take on the "Scarlet Spider" moniker, and it would be an interesting change. It does kind of feel like Scarlet Spider is more of the unofficial "Robin" or "Nightwing" to Spider-Man.

I'm not against the idea of Miles having his own identity it's just that every time they've attempted to call him different, Spin or Spidey, it comes off as derivative or lazy. When you look at a character like Ben Riley, Spiderman was a stepping stone for his arc, not the other way around.

While I absolutely detest the idea of multiple Spider-Men swinging around simultaneously, I feel Miles has earned the mantle (even in a meta way) and renaming him, now, comes off as a demotion. Honestly, he should've just been left to be the one, and only Spider-Man of the Ultimate universe. (😉)
