Anyway, seems like the head sculpt reflects the 90s iteration of that Peter Parker (as drawn by Mark Bagley during the 90s IMO).

Love Mark Bagley, especially his Venom. Still, imho Spidey loses his relatability when he’s drawn as a god, instead of geeky origin. Not saying they should make him look like the Spleen. Reminds me of the “comedies” where a character is the “ugly nerdy” friend, but takes off glasses, gets a makeover from the “pretty friend” and suddenly it’s Cindy Crawford.

I personally wish he never left high school. The best Spidey comics were his high school ones. If Bart Simpson can be 10 for 30 years, Spidey should be 16.

Tom Holland was a great choice. He still looks like a teen, has the cute-dork look, but doesn’t look emo like Maguire or angsty like Garfield. He sells puny Parker.

Hugh Jackman’s portrayals as wolverine have influenced the comics. Hope Holland’s Spidey influences the eventual next marvel reboot.
