@ami_angelwings John Semper's Fox Kids Peter Parker is a wish fulfilment fantasy, the idea that you're buff and handsome but everyone should feel sorry for you. Greg Weisman's isn't just an adaptation of the original material, it's the truth of it: his Peter Parker is as wounded as we are and as selfish as we are, and thus as capable of grace as we are. He just needs a few more, smaller, more painful life lessons first, not just The Big One.
