BTW I don't need sexual tension in my Spider-Man. If I wanted sexual tension, I'd watch a porno.

However, The Spectacular Spider-Man did perfectly fine with Black Cat even though Peter was a high school student, so they could do it fine here if they wanted to.

Sexual tension...in a porno? You clearly have not watched many of those...

I kid...I kid...

I get the context and all that about fitting Spider-Man into the current MCU as a teenager, however, there are other ways that it could have been brought about to bring him in as a young, college attending man as well, but for whatever reason (most likely the ones that Blue Marvel so eloquently stated earlier...) they decided to go with Spidey back in high school...and frankly, I'm just kind of over seeing Spider-Man running from bullies who give him atomic wedgies and gives puppy dog eyes to girls who barely notice him.

As for the sexual tension comments...I'm not asking for a "50 Shades of Spidey" flick...but some of the more entertaining issues of Spider-Man have always been ones where he struggles with the moralities that come with being desirable but monogamous. Whether it be Felicia Hardy, Gwen Stacy, Liz Allen, Mary Jane, or more recently Cindy Moon or Carlie Cooper, the adult Spider-Man has had a great cast of lovely ladies in his life, and it's hard to do any of those storylines or characters when Hollywood refuses to let Spider-Man be anything other than a hipster teenager with attitude or a booger eating science nerd the girls are embarrassed to be around.

It's only a minor aspect of his character yes, but just like so many people are tired of seeing Batman's origin in his films, I'm just tired of seeing Peter Parker grow up time and time again. I tend to keep the film and comic universes separate when I watch them (it will improve your overall enjoyment of things if most people just would remember to do this) but after so many resets by Hollywood, you end up starting to lose your emotional investment over time.
