Spider-Man
So yeah, if you haven't heard by now, Spider-Man is single again. Yes, in a brilliant move, Marvel decided to make Spider-Man single and cool again. Need to know why? Well, I'll give you a handy-dandy list.
Not cool: Being married to a former supermodel and actress, even though you're a big nerd.
Cool: Living with your aunt while you're in your 30s.
Not cool: Being in a loving relationship.
Cool: Fumbling through dating.
Not cool: Letting your aunt die peacefully after she tells you astrally that she's ready to go.
Cool: Making a deal with the devil to erase your marriage to get your aunt back.
Not cool: Having a character grow through the loss of a loved one.
Cool: Re-writing everything so that things are the same that they were twenty-one years ago. Because everyone buys comic books to read the same things over and over again.
Not cool: Following through an established timeline with a character that people like.
Cool: Saying, "Screw this. I think Spider-Man needs to be single, because he can't be cool and married at the same time. I mean, there are NO cool married people out there. It's like marriage saps all the cool right out of people. Anyone who is married is automatically not cool. So let's do something that the fans are going to hate because *I* think that Spider-Man is best when single. He stopped being cool 21 years ago when he got married. By the way, have you seen any women around? They smell nice. I like them."
