On why we keep having high school peter adaptations over and over for the past 20 years or so, I wonder if you can blame/credit the success of bendis USM for this

Discussion

cuz spider-man adapations focusing teen peter is way more recent that people think. cuz for a long time, spider-man adapations usuallly had college peter or older.

-the 60s cartoon, the 80s cartoon, spider-man and his amazing friends, the 90s cartoon, and even if the raimi trilogy started in high school, it moved to college and adulthood pretty quicky.

but starting around spec cartoon, you started to see more and more high school peter adapations - and I wonder if the success of bendis ultimate spider-man had something to do with that

Thoughts?

Just fyi- this doesn't mean I hate bendis usm, i love bendis usm, but i notice a shift after USM became really big.
