I feel like more than a lot of other super heroes Peter Parker is just a regular person that happens to have super powers. Now he is a genius, but that hasn’t really made his life better or significantly more successful and I like that aspect of unfortunate realism. On top of trying to hold it all together between education, work, taking care of his loved ones, and superheroism, is still tries to force in time to work at his Aunt’s soup kitchen from time to time. And the level of empathy he has for others including some of his worst villains actually did inspire me. It sounds cheesy but all of that is why he’s one of my favorite characters ever. And while I never expected to like a “new” spider-man, Miles Morales embodies all of those traits while still having his own personality, and seeing Peter nurture that has been a really lovely story across movies, comics, and games
