There was a period in time when he was allowed to grow, 60s through early 2000s, They had they’re high school peter in Ultimate so there was no need to keep him in Stasis. And then it happened.
After that Peter is basically kept in Status Quo highschool mode forever. The reasoning behind it was to keep Spidey fresh and relatable by always harkening back to the golden age of the 60s through 90s, except he was allowed to change back then.
I get the reasoning but I find it spurious because I genuinely feel letting him age would still work. Like Unironically I think they should undo it through some magic marvel Crisis bullshit, not the first time it’s happened, Maybe Konshu gets to do it this time…he’s technically good ish (He can’t do stuff like that but Mephisto couldn’t either before so why not.)
Magic bullshit. Peter beats whoever the bad guy is this time, comes back home to being married with MJ and woah whats this 14 year old Mayday Parker? There. You get to keep the relatable high school side and let peter age. Problem solved, people will absolutely buy Spider Girl. Get a whole new slate of stories to tell with Peter being worried as shit about his kid and whatever new villain of the week shows up.
