In the defense of the show, I genuinely like (that's right I said I LIKE) what we've seen for this new portrayal of Peter Parker, all quipy even when out of costume. Ya wanna know why I like this new Parker so much? Because I can actually RELATE to him! One of the core reasons why Spider-Man was so popular back in the 60s with teenagers was because he was RELATABLE TO THEM.

I can relate to Peter because I can really see a lot of myself in him. I'm a nerd. I'm a modern nerd. I like to talk a lot and ramble about stuff. And this Peter definitely embodies the epitome of a modern day nerd. I get that Peter Parker is supposed to be shy and awkward, but why can't we add some new elements to his nerdy side as well?
