> Would Peter Parker be an avatar of the Web. Genuine question

Personally I don’t think so?

When taking into account that the Webs whole… thing is being ‘the fear of being controlled or trapped without knowing it, and your will not being your own, of being manipulated’ — per the TMA wiki — I don’t particularly see that as something Peter Parker does.

If anything. Peter Parker is a victim of the Desolation.

Thinking back on this (cause I’m mentally ill) and thinking of the inkling of a thought I had about them eventually traveling to New York and running into Spider-Man and Jon having cognitive dissonance in meeting Peter.

Cause like. “I’m allowed to know what Spider-Man is.” Cause like. What if teen Jon, after the movie came out in 02, decided to use him as a way to get over his arachnophobia (failed). What if, despite that, he still kind of ‘looked up’ to him. Casually. Cause like. Great power DOES come with great responsibility. As he was well aware of.

Then he’s transported to a place where Spider-Man is real and just over half his age and he has to grapple with the dissonance of a CHILD being someone he considered stronger and morally superior to himself. Because that is a CHILD. A child should not have that weight on him.

Idk. Like I said. Oooo I’m ~mEnTaLlY iLl~
