I happen to think youth is wasted on the young and thus, dig inter-generational relationships. I also happen to like ship teasing Spidey and Carol even with the age thing. Mostly for the meta value of how they really want Captain Marvel to be their flagship but Spider-Man continues to outperform her. I personally didn’t like that scene because it felt arrogant to me for Carol to be making demands of Spider-Man but I get why it was there. More to the point, one of my unannounced projects was a Spider-Man harem fic and that sequence did the work for me. Young Peter holding the reality bending gauntlet and facing with the amassed femininity of the entire MCU. The prologue writes itself.
