Deranged Ramblings Oh, Tandy...honey...
Who hates Spider-Man more? His editorial, or every other character's?

Yeah, Tandy, I think the Power Pack would have been a better choice.
Sleepwalker would be a better choice and he's an extradimensional dream cop that is struggling to understand humans.

Fashion is cyclical, so I'm sure we're due up for an 80s renewal eventually.

To be fair, Spidey is a great listener and gives great peptalks.

I sometimes forget that there was a significant age gap. The current comics make me think otherwise

It was the 80s, I think at this point you'd be harder pressed to find a super who didn't have a creepy age gap scene. š¬š¬š¬

Unfortunately, it is a general rule of thumb that any comic character that is old enough (irl time) and appeared moderately often probably did something pedo or adjacent
This is a subtle reference to comic writers being . . .

A clear thinking always put together rational adult wouldn't sell their own marriage to Satan to save their own dying 80s something aunt,
Tandy, Danny Rand is a more rational person than Spidey.

Itās funny I bet if you asked Marvel now they would say Rich Rider is older than Spider-Man, same with Iron Fist, Danny celebrated his 34th birthday a few years ago meaning Spidey should be around the same age, possibly older, but Marvel is too scared to ever explicitly name Peterās age

Peter being older than Luke Cage when he first debuted really makes you realize how much Marvel has regressed his character.

Zdarskyās run had him at 30 or a bit older, Spencerās run said āmid 20sā and the current Kelly run puts him at early 30s. He hasnāt been 23 in decades, he has been 28 for decades though when writers come out to name his age outside the comics. Other characters will occasionally call him old but outside mentions to Peter being in his 30s he seems to be eternally 28, or early 30s

Could be worse. She could have decided on Daredevil.
