I don’t hate teen superheroes. I grew up loving Spider-Man and Teen Titans, but I’m just tired of them. Comic characters never age, and every reboot resets them back to high school. Spider-Man’s been rebooted over a dozen times, yet he’s only been an adult in two animated shows. His best stories are when he’s in college or older, but studios keep him a teen to appeal to kids.
It’s not even just him — Ms. Marvel should be 28 by now, but she’s still 16. There’s no middle ground anymore. You’re either a teenage hero or in your 30s. What happened to heroes in their 20s?
How are the 20s middle ground? I wanna see 50 year old spider-man! Give me a proper geriatric spider-man in his 70s or 80s! Okay maybe that’s going a little too far. Especially with spider-man I find it hard to imagine him older than 40.
That’s basically Wolverine
Sliders don’t get arthritis!
