This isn't quite in line with your question but it's adjacently meta:the first time you fall to your death in Bastion the (amazing) narrator says "...and then he fell to his death. ... Ahh, I'm just foolin'." and then you respawn on the platform because videogame.
Ultimate Spider-Man (and the Tom Holland movies) completely erases his hardships. He gets so much handed to him that he never has to struggle in the ways that really made him interesting as a character. Here, kid, Iron Spider suit. You make it by pressing a button in this armored limo and a supercomputer designs and fabricates it for you. Here are some glasses that can summon missiles from a space platform. Your primary rival is kinda just a bro from the start.This is a subtraction of growth. They eliminated the need for him to grow.I like the stories, but they fundamentally changed Parker to be more flat and less interesting.
Oof
