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

I suppose I don’t “need” more of this world, but I’m interested to see more of how this new Matrix works.

I don’t like that The Matrix got any sequels.

Mister Wachowski is a no talent man, just like his brother.

Loved it but it wasn’t a set-up more than a coda where Trinity and Neo get what they deserve as a parallel to Lana’s life. A creator with a new outlook reflecting on material and a legacy made when they were almost literally a different person. Lana‘s now free to change The Matrix, as in the movie.

Honestly, The Matrix should’ve just been one movie, only cuz it was only one movie that worked, and that’s the first one. It was lightning in a bottle that caught waves and can’t be replicated by the multiple sequels. Plus Keanu’s doing so much better in his newer movies, especially in John Wick.

Definitely Batman! I think this is because fans are used to Batman being more malleable, as Kane and Finger's Batman was a pretty basic, archetypal character that had an awesome motif. As such, the only real qualifiers are being someone who suffered a crime-related tragedy and stands against crime.

The idea that anybody could be Spider-Man is a quintessential characteristic of the core of the character, you can be rich, poor, black or white and still be Spider-Man, even Stan said that's why he wears a full face mask, so it naturally follows that he is the best legacy heroes ever created.

I feel like the point of Spider-Man is that anybody can be Spider-Man. Miles and Peter are different characters with their own upbringings. It’s not the same for Batman. Bruce Wayne IS Batman. Only Bruce can really understand what it means to be Batman on a more intimate, personal level in my eyes.

Honestly I believe that Miles is the best example and most successful example of a legacy character ever, in just a little over a decade he has been in animated TV shows, animated movies, and video games, and now a sizeable part of the fandom considers him THE Spider-Man.
