true. finding out that whole cigarette addiction subplot was a euphemism for how their marriage could never work out was a trip.
and for the most part it did work and people loved it and wanted them to progress.

he hasn't been allowed single decent love interest since they broke them up so people remember the good times and it shines a light on how dire things are now. especially with editorial shitting on the ol boy.
Peter goes from one loveless romantic encounter to the next and nothing sticks because it all reads as shallow fucks with 0 interaction beyond platitudes. nothing is deepened, nothing progresses. breaks up at the end of an arc or in the middle and does it all again the next.
self inserters might think that's cool cuz he gets all the bitches and fucked hawkeye's sometimes wife or whatever but it means nothing for older fans that were invested in the character and saw what the endgame was.
