Spider-Man Isn't Special Anymore, And It's Making Marvel Fans Lose Interest In Peter Parker
Marvel Needs Peter To Be Its #1 Protagonist Again

Peter Parker's extended creative rut has coincided with an explosion in the population of Spider-heroes in the Marvel Universe. With too many Spider-characters to count, the original Spider-Man is no longer novel. And while Spider-Man used to be the centerpiece of his own franchise, now that's arguably not the case any longer.

That makes a reboot especially tricky. Marvel would need to find a creative way to reset canon Peter Parker without banishing its other popular Spider-heroes from Marvel's main canon. Except that exposes a deeper issue: Spider-Man is better off not having to fight for the spotlight with other derivative characters.

So, really, making Peter Parker the only Spider-Man in the Marvel Universe would actually be best for the character.

Spider-Man Needs A Reboot, A Reset, A Recalibration; Call It What You Want, The Hero's Been Stuck For Too Long

The Main Continuity Peter Parker Hasn't Gone Anywhere In Decades

Multiple creative personnel at Marvel, from top writers to senior editors, have acknowledged that the best stories starring Peter Parker, the OG Spider-Man, haven't appeared in the main Marvel Universe for a while. The hero has been stuck in creative stasis for decades; Marvel considers non-canon stories perfectly suitable for trying new things with the hero while the original languishes.

Spider-Man lore is messy, and Spidey a cornerstone of the Jenga tower that is Marvel canon. The simplest answer to making Peter Parker matter again is a full reboot of Spider-continuity, but in this case, simple doesn't mean easy. Yet let's consider what it would look like if Marvel did decide to make such a big move with its beloved Webslinger.

First, Marvel could always kill Peter Parker off. Not "permanently," but even a few years off the table would help reinvigorate interest in the main Marvel Universe version of Spider-Man. That doesn't mean Peter Parker would go anywhere, of course. It's just that Marvel could focus on the outside-canon stories that it knows are the best modern Peter-as-Spidey stories.

They did that already, albeit in the reverse order, in the Ultimate universe, that's how we got Miles

Not really. Just let him have a happy ending and retire for 5 years or so.

Spider-man is a menace, all of them should be round up except that one original one. How many are there now? They're all menaces except that guy. Oh sh- my camera was on.
>>
Just delete everyone except Peter

>REBOOT REBOOT REBOOT
How about FINISH
Just end it. We've seen all there is to see of Spider-Man. We've seen Uncle Ben die a thousand times, we've seen his shitty job at the Daily Bugle enough.
We've seen him unwittingly hang Gwen a thousand times. All his villains have beat him, been beaten, been jailed, been killed, been resurrected.

There's nothing left here, it's dried up. This has been going on since the 50's. Just put an end to it and come up with a new story to tell.
And this goes for all these legacy characters, Spider-Man is one of the younger examples and it's well past it's welcome

all they had to do was follow through on what spencer set up. MJ and Peter get married and have kids. Spider kids are the new heroes.
>>
>>152321340
>Spider kids are the new heroes
nope, my childhood was MJ and Peter as a couple. they didn't have kids and neither do i and I never will so if peter and MJ has kids it's dogshit and shouldnt happen

I notice this is a pattern. First it's a sole protagonist that gets popular. Then they add a bunch of sidekicks and variants of the hero. This dilutes the hero. I see this also happen in wrestling and other things. When a wrestler who is massively over joins a faction he suddenly isn't special anymore.

Maybe they do this because there is hypothetically a finite amount of stories you can do with just one character. How many times can you make Peter Parker late for his 10am class because he was fighting Dr. Octopus? Or Batman stopping joker once again from contaminating the water in Gotham?

The only exceptions I can think of is the Star Wars universe where it benefitted the lore when the EU added a bunch of jedis and siths instead of having just Luke, Obi amd maybe a few others

>>152321348
that is precisely why they need Kids ASAP

Not Brand Echh had Stupporman being overwhelmed with how many others like him there were. Wonder how Spidey-Man feels now.

*Stuporman
I looked it up because I was unsure of the spelling and still forgot to change it.

This thread is just Gwenschizo plagiarizing a ScreenRant article word for word and trying to pass it off as his own work.

https://screenrant.com/marvel-major-spider-man-problem-solution-canon-continuity-answer/

Literally a total copy and paste. He's a fucking plagiarist. Not a single original thought in his hopelessly damaged and autistic little brain.
