But...why?
>>150156738Because kids, the target audience, can't relate to a married man.
>>150156793More like the divorced manchild Editor-in-Chief can't relate to a married man.
because fuck you, that's why

Disney wanted a blood sacrifice before going through with the buyout. Why else put the satanic abortion in the story?
>>150156738>One More Day is done to return Spider-Man back to basics and for it just to be him and aunt may >years later 7 different Spider-fuckers are now in the 616 universe they did One More Day too early
>>150157154>years before Ben Reilly was killed off because writers couldn't fathom more than one Spider-Man swinging around New York
>>150156793>kids>target audienceThere's no way modern ASM is written with kids in mind. Teenagers, maybe, but I doubt even they enjoy seeing Peter as a manchild who can't keep a girlfriend while everyone around him is getting married and having kids.
>>150156793thats the reason manga took over and surpassed the american comicbook industryJust look at Dragonball which was for the longest time the most popular manga if you go by sales per volumeThe series starts with Goku as a literal kid who goes on a adventure with some fun charactersThen he learns Martial arts and makes it his goal to become the best martial artist in the worldAs a teen he destroys a major faction in the world the red ribbon army and then as a young adult he Kills the devil achives his goal of becoming the best martia artist in the world and marriesHe has a kid who trains just like and later on his own kid whom he raised saves the world like he did when he was young The Series is always changing theres always a new villian showing up a new technique to learn or some new adventure to go toSpiderman is the same shit for 60 years nowHe is still fighting Doc Ock or Electro He is still a loser with no gf like he was in highschoolNothing ever happens so whats the point of caring about anythingEven if something happesn the status quo is sacred so even if something happens the writers just pull some shit like one more day to make sure nothing happens
>>150156793I was a kid around the time OMD happened and that never made any sense. I liked reading about married Peter for mainly two reasons: it gave me hope (if a nerd like him found someone then maybe I'd too) and also because it was interesting to read a character that had changed over the years and while not at the same speed as us he was indeed aging.Undoing the marriage just made him less interesting.
>>150156738It’s a synthesis of all the Spider-Man (and all superheroes for that matter) are. When given the chance to move on and change the status quo no matter how big or small, they (the writers) will choose to reset the world. And it will most likely be to the detriment of character development and the world at large.
>>150156793Yeah and how did that logic work out for them
>>150156793You don't have to relate to a character to find a story entertaining.
>>150156793Fans want to see Peter with Mary Jane. They don't want whatever the fuck is going on now.
>>150158372>And it will most likely be to the detriment of character development and the world at large.Correction. It's near always this.There are few rare instances where the world is reset, but character development remains.
>>150157249Ben wasn't killed in '96 for that reason, it was to draw a line under the whole Clone Saga era after two years, and make it clear to fans that it was all over and Peter was the real Spider-Man, and to try to appease readers who'd quit and get them to come back.If the Clone Saga hadn't gotten as controversial as it did, Ben would have probably gone back to the Scarlet Spider identity and walked away with as much chance of sticking around as US Agent or War Machine.What's more relevant to the other anon's point is the Grim Hunt storyline in 2010 being done to cull the excess Spider characters and cut down to just a few of them, and the attempt to kill off a lot of the excess symbiotes a few years later, only for Marvel to then change course and have a gorillion Spider people and symbiotes. It's a valid complaint that Marvel editorial are fine with so many worthless Spiderverse characters being around but insist there was no possible role for Ben, after they went to the trouble of bringing him back.
>>150156793What a retarded thing to say holy shit.
>>150156738Writer and editors went through difficult divorces at the time and they were just projecting.
>>150156793>Marvel interns actually believe this.Marvel employs some of the dumbest people alive.
>>150156738The comic industry hates you.
