When did you grow out of Spiderman and how "relateable" he is?

He was never that relateable to me past his high school incel days

>>149138136 (OP)
I grew out of Spider-Man when Marvel decided to make a billion versions of him and make Peter the bitch out of all of them too.

>>149138136 (OP)
Post college.
My parents let me stay in their house until I had a job a moved away.
Peter staying with his Aunt at his age is embarrassing.

>>149138136 (OP)
I didn't. Editorial intentionally tanked the character out of some ill-defined midlife crisis but everyone else knows intuitively who he is supposed to be. We will eventually look back at OMD and Miles-inspired "ANYONE CAN BE SPIDER-MAN" spinoff obsessions the way we look at mullet Superman today (just with less fondness).

>>149138136 (OP)
I never did.
As a young black man in his 30s I relate more to Mikes ever since his inception.
Peter just seems okay. More for a boomer in the 20th century to relate to.

What a sad and cringe LARP.
>>149138238
This is nothing.

>>149138136 (OP)
I still like him as a character. The comics are just complete dogshit.

>>149138176
I'm literally talking to a girl who had to move back in with their folks recently. It happens.

>>149138561
My younger brother had to do the same
Then I did after my mom got into an accident

>>149138136 (OP)
Never really found him relatable, always thought he was a cool character and probably always will. The Paul stuff is unfortunate but also kind of hilarious.

>>149138136 (OP)
never. I relate to the mature, married Peter Parker, the way Stan Lee had intended.

I relate to the REAL Spider-Man.

>>149138176
I've never grown out of him. I went away from Spidey when they made him and MJ make a deal with the devil.
I've reluctantly returned but nothing loyal.

When he had sex

>>149138136 (OP)
I don't find him 100% relatable, but I'll always relate with him in some way or another. And I will always like him, just that everything now sucks.

Back in your corner, Mr.

Look who's talking, Pedro.

Never, because learning to do the right thing in the face of your own selfishness is always something you can relate to. Responsibility only becomes more important as you get older.

I never out grew it. I was relating to him just fine. Marvel took it from me.

Quesada took it from you, but Bendis and Hickman gave it back in different forms.

>I HAVE NO LIFE
I'm so sorry for you.

>>149139555
Paul is love, Paul is life.

>>149139584
Devoting yourself to such a nothingburger character for no reason other than to piss people off is NOT living, my friend.

>>149139615
Not my fault that you can't resist the bait.

>>149138136 (OP)
I don't understand the relatable angle. Dude is a massive smartie that can make gadgets in his bedroom, didn't have to worry much about school because of how gifted he was and worked as a freelance photographer at 15.

>>149139638
I am trying to talk some sense into you, sir. To help you.

>>149139767
And instead you keep getting Coconut Pauled. That's gotta sting!

>>149139790
Buddy, had a good run.

Hey, while you're all here Paulposting, can we share some high quality spidey images? My stock is running a little low on the new stuff

>>149138561
Its nice if you have that as an option, my parents literally live in a tiny 1 bedroom apartment so it feels like I don't even have that as a backup if things go to shit for me

>>149138136 (OP)
The last spider-man comic I read was Marvel Adventures. After Chat left I was done with the Spiderman. Never even watched the MCU films.

>>149138136 (OP)
I always just took “relatable” as a superhero with a personal life. Not that he was specifically relatable to anyone.

>>149138176
Anytime I see a sexy pic of MJ, I'm reminded of that one rule 34

Heidi Gardner fucks SNL celebrities every week while Zeb Wells tries to kill himself every week.

Nick Lowe's ex wife took the kids, and now the kids have a new father.

Why the fuck is my guy Hank Pym getting strays from that faggot wasting his money on shitty cuck commissions?

>>149139695
There's nuance to it that a lot of people misinterpret. Peter Parker is not an everyman, obviously. He's a genius super scientist who has super powers.
However, he does go through a lot of things that are relatable, like balancing responsibilities, needing to worry about rent, trying to maintain a social life, etc. He's not supposed to be someone you literally just self insert into whenever you read the comic, even if you relate to aspects of his life.
Whatever justification for what they've been doing to him lately doesn't make sense, and hasn't made sense since OMD

>>149138136 (OP)
unironically when I got into anime and manga

>>149139638
Seriously, kill yourself

I never did, spidey has always been the loveable loser so I guess I kinda identify with him. I inly loat interest because everything coming out involving the charcter these days is dog shit but im hoping someday we'll get writers who actually carw about the character again.

>>149141225
Same. I live in the suburbs and can't stand the city and have never dated a supermodel and am probably retarded but Peter's relatability was never about some one-to-one thing about identical experiences.

How is Spider-Man relatable? He lives with a single aunt in a densely populated city full of super-types, is a whiz at chemistry and photography, and his best friend is a rich heir who is a disappointment to his father.

>>149142726
Ants are smaller than spiders, obviously.

>>149138136 (OP)
I never related to Peter because I didn't grow up in the 60's with Mysterio

>>149141901
This is such an old pic, didn’t this actually end up with a back story with the cuck who commissioned it getting doxxed

>>149141901
This is from Web of Shadows

Five bucks says Mary Jane has appeared in more comics than luke cage

>>149138136 (OP)
BND actually made him less relatable so that should be when.

>>149138136 (OP)
You spelt his name wrong.

>>149138136 (OP)
I stopped liking Spiderman when they kept exaggerating how miserable he was and I mean BEFORE that stupid dissolution of his marriage. There's only so much bullshit you can tolerate about being depressive like that before you simply don't care anymore.

Doesn't help that Spiderman has powers and can easily improve his life but chooses the stress and thankless misery. Especially since Spiderman is set in freaking New York, there's a city that needs to be destroyed in real life because it is shit. Why would any hero want to defend that hellhole? Same to the Fantastic Four, Dare Devil, and Punisher.
