For some reason I’ve just never liked Spider-Man. He comes off as a whiney, ignorant child that never seems to grow up or mature despite everything he goes through. I love a good coming of age story, but he just never seems to become an adult.

    “He just never seems to become an adult”

    What are you expecting? That fictional superheros grow up and get old?

    Spiderman first appeared in -62, so you’d have never seen him as an immature teenager, but a grumpy middleaged dude.

    On that note, there are depictions of adult Spiderman. Like in “Into the Spiderverse” or what was it.

    But the essence of the character is the relative immaturity. Like Batman’s is gruff vigilanteism and Superman’s overtly good nature.
