Marvel always wants him to relate to a younger gen so thats why. I get it, I don't always like it but I get it. But even then the storytelling on Spec was more mature than the 90s one so kid or no kid, I wouldn't have gotten a story on the 90s show about Harry possibly being addicted to drugs or shown someone getting their ankle broken by their own father, or another story about a character's gambling addiction. Or a story where spider-man almost used Ock's tentacles to kill a man
Age of character doesn't always equate to more mature storytelling
You saying I am or you just saying?
