Yes, according to the Spider-Man tradition, we can assume that it is probably dead. But I say that because none of the characters expressly said this (and in fact they are very deliberately vague about what could have happened to him), he could Still being there in any function. And a big revelation at the end of the seasonal final only proves that the creative team still retains this Uncle Ben Card Near her chest (possibly to keep Ben in life in our hearts).
[Ed. Note: This post contains some major spoilers for the end of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.]
Aunt May visits someone in prison in the last moments of the season. I was absolutely waiting with the breath, absolutely secure That this would be the long -awaited Ben reveal that I was so sure. However, she did not visit Ben, but another historically very dead Spider-Man character.
It is Peters father, Richard Parker! It turns out that he is alive in this version of history!
The exact background story of Richard Parker varies, depending on the version of Spider-Man-Die in the comics, he is a government spy, and he and his wife (also a spy) died in action at some point when Peter was a child. This background story is usually simplified in the films, and he and his wife only die during a plane crash. But the point is that it is usually dead and has Was dead for most of Peters life. And like Uncle Ben, he is a comic character that is not revived. He should be dead and remain dead.
Now we don't know why Aunt May decided to visit Richard in prison, and we don't even know whether Peter knows the full extent of what his father did. Technically speaking, we don't even know what Richard ended up in prison, and when Peter knows that he is nearby! He could be a villain, or one of the overpowering antagonists that Peter complained about all season. But the fact that he lives Your friendly neighborhood spider-man Is already a sharp turn from the Spider Status Quo. The creative team has already played quickly and easily with Spider-Man Canon: Norman Osborn is Peters Mentor! Nico Minoru is his best friend! The spider came from a strange Timey World Welt Commercial Portal!
Richard Parker, who is alive, brings it all to the next stage – and that means that my theory about Uncle Ben is even more practical! I tell you! I hold this as a great unveiling of the second season and would like to write it in writing for evidence in writing if it happens.
All episodes of Your friendly neighborhood spider-man are now available on Disney Plus.
