fav Spiderman? No doubt, Seth Cohen
Looking through some old media and will post some of the things I find. This old IGN article from 2004 promoting the second season stood out and in particular this quote (images of the article at the end of the post): "The show's creator says he isn't worried about this season's evolution turning fans off, because the relational fabric of the series remains intact. "I think the sort of core relationships that we have on the show, the Ryan/Marissa dynamic, the Seth/Summer dynamic, are the core, iconic relationships of this show," Schwartz said. "They're like the magnetic, polarizing force of the show in that you can throw as many new characters and hurdles and obstacles in front of those characters as you want, but you can never break free of those original dynamics. That's the foundation of the show. Even when you see scenes where Ryan and Marissa aren't together, if they're off with other people, and then you see them share a scene together, you just feel like 'God, they should be together.' They have such unbelievable chemistry; there's something pulling them together. So to quote George Bush, we 'can run, but we can't hide,' and that's where our show lives and breathes in those core relationships."
