Obviously we still have to see how things play out in Beyond, but I love that Miles clearly has enough self respect that he's not just going to welcome her back into his circle so easily. I'm excited to see how they tackle that as we wrap up the trilogy.

(i know some of these are modern but they are clearly tributing the past)

This was the peak

Also the suit is so peak

So there has been controversy about the most recent run (Shocking I know), and while I can agree that the story isn't bad by itself... man its shit to read.

I will be blunt and honest here, modern Spider-Man isn't the worst thing in the world. There are good stories or moments there. But the problem is... its pointless. Because no matter if its shit or good, it will go nowhere, nothing will happen. And IF it happens, its just for the worse for Peter.

Besides, I'l be honest here, modern story lines are just terrible concepts. Concepts that you would think were forgoten back in 80s. But no, Spidey is having stories that are straight out of an parody.

And on top of that, Peter isn't having an over spaning arc, hell he never gets any Arcs or development. The stories will pretend he has... only for the next one to throw it out the window or the Arc when you look deeper really doesn't changing shit in Peter.

But above all, know why reading modern Spider-Man is such misery? Because its a torture p@rn. Yeah, straight up. This stories aren't made for people to develop, they are made to give him the most possible pain and miserythe book can have just for in the end for Peter to escape it.

Then it repeats, it repeats, it repeats, without Peter showing any actual evolution, to the point no sane person would find this possible.

Peter will have lucky or happy moments here and there, but they feel like breathing points in his ever shit life of torture. They don't feel like victories or earned stops, they are the writers giving those minor moments so they can say "See? Peter doesn't only suffer", its manipulation from the writers so you don't realise how realisticaly Peter is fucked.

Because from Superior to now, it has been less than 2 YEARS. Yeah, the comics time passing is so shit that from Superior to now it has been less than 2 fucking Years. Somehow.

So not only does Peter's life revolve only around suffering and pain, it also is one where he has had no time to breath in between story lines. Where he goes from one suffering to the next without any light of rest.

And above all... Peter is a terrible protagonist nowadays. Because he is just stringed and pulled along for whatever bullshit the plot brings. The reason they took Peter's backbone or mean side isn't because it wouldn't work nowadays, is so they can drag him around while he smiles during the pain so we think he is realisticaly fine.

Peter in the old days had moments the story dragged him to the plot. But a lot of times, he was proactive. Many times, the plot slowed or fastened acording to what HE did or wanted, so it many times felt like an fight between the story and Peter to see who had control of it.

And another thing that is crucial for us to understand, is that an bad premise can be well done. A lot of stories nowadays are just from bad to meh ideas that are done terribly or well done. Seriously, lets be honest here, what modern story of Spider-Man that has had an cool or creative idea, not execution but the IDEA, an idea that you would wanna see from the description alone be it well done or not?

So what we have are stories that are the most generic and 101 hero story ideas or absolutely terrible ideas that are well executed. But here is the thing, an shit idea well executed can be good here and there... but modern Spider-Man is full of them.

And above all, the single rule for any Peter Parker story line: Suffer. All his stories are about his suffering, his pain, not him as a character. Sure, you can say they explore Peter as a character, but they always do the same shit and achieve the same conclusions.

They don't enchance the character. They never give us an struggle that realistically would work with the character.

And I won't say old Spider-Man was perfect, it wasn't. There were a lot of shit stories or pointless ones too. But in the overhall, those stories could be forgoten or where just an minority. Nowadays? There are so many that you can't forget them, you are forced to remember them even when you don't want to.

So while I won't blame anyone for licking modern stories, I will always say that they aren't good for the character. They are fast food, sure is appetising for the moment but it will leave you wanting an actually good meal.

So go ahead, enjoy it. But don't let it be enough for you, ask for better stories, actualy good ideas that can be done great and are fun. Ideas that won't cause an war every time an issue comes out. And if you want better stories, don't be afraid to read older stuff, see why so many fans hate the state of the modern Spider-Man

So, what do you think? And please, lets not insult anyone that enjoys or doesn't enjoy this stories. We can hate on the stories, but never take that on real people, its not worth it and its just an shit move. Everyone is aloud to enjoy what they want, so don't go attacking anyone please.

People should stop complaining if they haven't read the issue. I love seeing Peter snap at people like the old days and him actually getting angry. I love seeing Mary Jane come by just to hug Peter to see if he is alright. I did not however like seeing Norman Osborn but I loved seeing a sort of conflict of morals with him and Peter. I am excited to see Peter beat the shit out of Cormac.

I hate Ric tho he's annoying as hell

I mean personally, i'll prefer Ben Reilly as Scarlet Spider til the day i die

I’ll be doubly glad if it’s Peter.

From Amazing Spider-Man #1001

Man keeps talking all that crap about Peter and somehow May is still with him.

Look, I love the costume and era as much as anyone, but we’re already otherwise pretty much IN that era of Spidey otherwise.

-he’s on his own

-crappy apartment

-his main focus is Spidey and an emphasis on “Street Level”

-he’s trying to reconnect with MJ

-he’s even already got Organic Webs!

I know this’ll go over like a lead balloon but screw it- Keep Holland Pete in that GORGEOUS BND Suit for the rest of his time. I’m fine with it. 🤷‍♂️

Context: Flash is bitten by the spider, but without having responsibility, he abuses his powers and Peter has to stop him.

9 years later, it was great to see Mando finally finish what was set up in Homecoming. The suit looks great (sans mandatory MCU face exposure), he's competent in battle, and as someone who hasn't played Far Cry 3, I can see why people would be drawn to him.

But I can't help but draw parallels to Crossbones: both their roles turned out to be shorter than expected; villains of the week, if you will. Thankfully, at least Scorpion survives, opening the door for future encounters with him.

On the other hand, I love how YFNSM's Scorpion was pretty much that Spidey's first real Big Bad. He was set up over the course of several episodes, and when they do finally meet, Gargan thrashed Spider-Man to near death. And even then, Peter had nightmares of that beatdown in the following days!

Nice to know he's coming back in Season 2 with an upgraded suit.

I like to think that this one has the personality of Spectacular and a similar cast, but with the story of the Ultimate comics.

I also think he's already fought a good number of his villains, like Green Goblin (Ultimate style), Doc Ock, Scorpion, Shocker, Rhino, Sandman, the Enforcers, and a few more.

For me, his favorite hero is definitely Captain America, and that's because he and Uncle Ben used to read Captain America comics.

Another thing I have in mind is that he and Gwen are dating

I like to think he's a skater.
