why do shows rarely have a handsome male main character anymore?
They used to do that back in the 1990s.

>is supposed to be a dork
>looks like a popular athlete
They completely missed the mark with this peter.

To answer your question, the animation industry is full of activist women, jews, ethnic people and fat Californian weirdoes. None of them like handsome straight white men.

Huh? Then why do you ignore all of the shows with handsome male non-white leads that came out since the 90s?

For the adult men, it’s because of the popularity of the Simpsons during the 1990s that it became the standard comic relief.

For teens and children characters, it’s because statistics found the kid audience sees the geeky and dorky and non-handsome characters as more relatable and self-inserting and prefer them as main characters.

He's a thin nerd in the early comics and a lanky "class clown" kind of dude in the newer comics. Girls only liked him after getting to know him. He looked like a handsome football player in the cartoon.

Under his clothes, he doesn't APPEAR fit, that's the main point. He does in that cartoon.

Show Peter was built around college Peter from the 80s and there was a disconnect since the point there was that Peter had socially butterflied at that point. It was also just the artstyle of the time. Pretty much every leading male was taking cues from Sly and Ahnald

That's Clark Kent, bro. Spidey doesn't work like that. Bro even loses his glasses in issue 8. He even had a date with Liz that he had to cancel because of Spidey shit

Peter was a dork in the few years before the series, by the time SMTAS starts he’s grown and been Spider-man for a few years. You see him scrawnier in flashbacks

Just call them what they are: brown. None of them are original amerigos eskimo indians, they're all gypsy indians, not eskimo indians.

He was a dork, but the athletics leaning spider powers got him in shape. Which is more often than not all you need to be attractive.

Yeah and the change really happens in the 90's. Not a lot of handsome protagonists when you had cable network animation take off in that artist focused way.

Guys back then were a lot more lean and buff due to far less junk food and processed garbage in their diets. Look at a beach photo from back then and remember, the average guy wasn't into "working out" back then.

You lossrs really want him to be a dork so bad. What's wrong? He too difficult for you to self insert knowing that he ain't at all what you thought he was? Peter was just a guy, not some nerd. He went on dates, had GFs, and had sex. Bro's flaw was his temper, not his social status.
