Not only that, but I thought Peter had great supporting cast potential
when Spectacular rebooted. All his kooky neighbors?
****
As far as I can tell, JMS ignored everything that was in that book.
Remember Spider-man dissassembled. It had Spider-man turn into a giant Spider, emerge stronger, with organic webbing, and an ability similar to ant-man I think to communicate with bugs.
That's a big change-not mentioned in JMS's book. Then in his book, he has Spider-man go into a cocoon, get strionger and heal, and emerge with new powers and a stronger version of the Spider-sense. Similar in some ways. But odd to have that happen only a year or so after the other thing.

I've never been very fond of the marriage but, what's done is done so to speak. I can live with it.
My problem with it is that I never really expected them to hitch up in the first place. MJ was always written as the flighty friend and Peter never seemed to show much interest in her. She disappeared for a while, Peter moved on with his life then, all of a sudden she was back, was the love of his life and eventually they got married. It just always seemed forced to me.
None of it matters much anymore since the character has been destroyed over the last couple of years anyway.
The Other, joining the Avengers, moving into Stark Towers and following Tony Stark around sounding like Chico Marx have ruined the book for me.
I think Spider-Man will have to be "Man of Steel"ed before I return to the book.

Two cocoon events in less than a year? Whaaa? I read the first one, but
had no idea there was a second one...
Chandler Bing alert:
Could the editorial direction at M***** BE anymore broken?

JMS not only ignored Peter's neighbors, but never mentioned the fact that Flash Thompson (an invalid!) lived in the same building...

Without reading any of the other posts... except Francesco Vanagolli's on how "an everyman doesn't marry a model" (I skipped to here after reading that one).... I just have to ask.... how the heck and when the heck has Spider-Man EVER been the everyman?
Metatextually speaking.... he never has! Ever!
Then again I also agree with J.R. Fettinger when he writes that Spider-Man has never been young. anymore than Charlie Brown or whomever.
geez.

Peter wasn't an Everyman in analysis- by definition a genius can't be, but he was, Socially, relatable to many. Stan Lee did a fine line dance of just how extraordinary and subordinary Peter was, and yet have him be someone readers could feel "that could be me" in the right instances.

The problem is, today's readers (and writers) write Spider-Man "as if he is me".

[SPOILER]
Due to his brain injury, Flash has now gone from being an invalid
to again being the bully he was in high school. Talk about
lame-ass writing.

Kinda reminds me a show called ... bah, can't remember ... where the main character, Harmmon Rabb, a fighter jet pilot, gets injured in his eye sight, and his blinded... only at night! So he stops being a pilot and turns into a military lawyer.
Remembered the name: JAG.
