Yeah, I read that interview. He also spoke of the moment in
Comeback where the partners decide to go back for Parker: "He
wouldn't do it for us."
"Yeah, but he expects us to do it for him, and you will." But
changing a character over time, a stab at the realistic, can
allow for this slight
"mellowing" that allows Parker to still be a hard-ass but
recognize that he isn't Iron Man anymore. And married life
(without a traitor wife this time) can have that effect, I
guess.
All I know is that I like the new books as much as I do the
old ones, perhaps a tiny bit more.
