For some reason I’ve just never liked Spider-Man. He comes off as a whiney, ignorant child that never seems to grow up or mature despite everything he goes through. I love a good coming of age story, but he just never seems to become an adult.

It’s a great premise, but he shouldn’t be a “superhero.”
Superheros need villains and a reason to “save the world” Hulk would be a great story of someone who struggles with every day life trying to keep his internal monster at bay, but stuffing him into the superhero role just turns a psychological allegory into “Who we smashing today?”
That’s the other thing too - who is this guy even saving? Most of the times, his stories are about saving himself from himself. He’s achieved that at least a couple times but they were all non-canon yet did make for interesting arcs for a while.
Then there’s Betty but she long has stopped being a main factor.
All that Hulk has turned into now is just that - “Who we smashing today?”
