Less Focus On Romance/Relationships

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy and the more recent Amazing Spider-Man franchise quite heavily focused on Peter Parker’s romantic relationships – with Kirsten Dunst’s Mary Jane Watson and Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacy respectively – and there was nothing wrong with that. The respective actors involved in each relationship had great chemistry and the relationships in question were important parts of the stories – but the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of Spider-Man should be female-free for the time being.

The younger version being introduced will allow for plenty of time for girls to enter his life and the Marvel Cinematic Universe has its fair share of romances already (some of which have been pretty poor – like Thor and Jane Foster, for example) and audiences would really like to see a kid dealing with kid things while he takes on the mantle and responsibilities of the Webbed Wonder.
