theory hour
in itsv we've got two peters: peter 1610 and peter b parker. the two are set up to kind of be opposites; peter 1610 is blonde, has a wife/significant other, hes energetic and immediately offers to help miles when he realizes theyre alike. meanwhile, peter b is jaded, single, sad, and pretty much instantly refuses to help miles out. peter 1610 is set up to be perfect (as said by peter b) while peter b is very obviously not.
heres my theory:
i dont think peter 1610 and peter b are that different.
peter b has been spiderman for 22 years. thats 12 more than peter 1610. of course hes going to be jaded and tired. hes older, both in traditional age and as a spiderman. he actually got married to mj, but later divorced because they couldnt make it work. peter 1610, on the other hand, has only been spiderman for 10 years. he does everything peter b did as spiderman. saved the city, fell in love, etc. etc. however, peter 1610 is younger, not as jaded, and more optimistic, and he hasnt experienced 22 years of spidermanning like peter b has. in the fight with prowler at the collider, peter 1610 takes a moment to lie under the big collider thingies after taking a hit from the prowler, and he says, probably to himself, im so tired. this shows that he ISNT the energetic spiderman that he is shown to be. he could be physically tired, but i think he meant more like im so tired of fighting all the time and maybe even im so tired of being spiderman. hes on that path to jadedness that peter b likely took. of course, he gets back up and fights, but thats kind of the trademark of spiderman.
tl;dr i think if you left peter 1610 to be spiderman for 12 more years he would probably end up as tired and jaded as peter b.
