also what I liked about spider-man is that he missed ned as much as he missed mj. the friendship part of his grief wasn’t minimised to uplift his romantic relationship.
the older i get, the more spider-man becomes less about powers and more about trying to stay hopeful when everything keeps changing. tom's peter always feels like a kid carrying responsibilities that are way too big for him and thats the version of spidey that hits me the hardest
Jean having been in Peter’s and Hulk’s mind only paused with shock inside Frank’s head………whatever we saw of Frank’s headspace in OLK WAS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. This is why we will always need to come back to the depth of his psyche as the basis of his character
