Does this Quesada point make sense

Does this Quesada point make sense


In the continuing drama of the Spider-Man marriage, Joe Quesada (in his always interesting, at the very least, weekly column, Joe Fridays) wondered why people werent discussing a point of his, which he seems to think is a big winner. Says Joe,
What I found interesting is that no one seemed to address a very important point I made last week. Knowing that having a child or getting divorce, annulled, separated, or widowed and all those sorts of things aren’t an option, there is not a single story of a married Peter Parker that can’t be told with a single Peter Parker. On the other hand, the exact opposite isn’t true.
I dont get it.

Does that make sense? Does he have some big winner here? It doesnt seem to make sense to me, as I dont see how that is that strong of a point. I mean, PICK a Spider-Man change. Like the organic webspinners. Is there a story out there with organic webspinner Peter Parker that cant be told with webshooters Peter Parker?

In the alternative, does the fact that you can tell stories with Spider-Man living in Avengers Tower that you cant tell if Spider-Man lives in a shitty apartment make the Avengers Tower thing a better plot device? I dont see how it does.

If its just "The marriage is constraining," then fine, I think people get that - they acknowledge it.

But otherwise, what am I missing here that makes this an awesome point?
