Eh, this is false on several levels, specifically for Spider-Man. Not only did Spidey start as a teenager and remain that way for years that's where he found his success. Nobody is making Spidey a teenager in this sense. Now I can understand ppl being tired of teenage Spidey based off of what was done in ASM but being a teenager isn't the problem. Marvel got it right where the main focus to be avoided is the extra drama in his regular life and romance in his regular life which also bogged down the last Spidey trilogy where everybody was college age.THE worst thing you can do with a character is make them a mother ******* teenager. Look at how horrible xmen played out, asm 1-2. Cmon man
Not sure exactly what you mean with the X-Men though. All of them were adults or at least the important ones and it still wasn't good enough. The 1st class stuff wasn't really teenagers either but young adults. What Fox did overall is just bad. Had nothing to do with being teenagers.
Overall with Hollywood, the main reason the whole teenager take is so old is cuz they choose to keep repeating the same type of characters and situations.
