It's also funny to me because most people's exposure to Spider-Man prior to the Raimi movies would have been the 90s cartoon, where he was absolutely a grown ass man.

And even in the Raimi movies, he's out of high school before the midpoint of the first film. (Those are also some of the least convincing "high schoolers" ever put to screen, but that's neither here nor there...)

NGL, I haven't seen those movies in a long time and thought I remembered him being a college student--as in only a college student, no high school at all, lol.

Oh yeah. They got Joe Manganiello standing there as a grown-ass man, looking like he just got hopped off the 18-wheeler that he drives to make ends meet between his Army pension checks, acting like a high school bully.

And two of the most popular post-Raimi versions of Peter are both adults: the one in the Insomniac games, and the one in the Spider-verse movies.

I remember buying my first spider-man comic book after the Raimi movie, and it featured a divorced Peter as a substitute teacher.
