>>98337107I'll tell you what ruined Spider-Man. It was the "relatable" meme. Lee/Ditko Spider-Man wasn't just some average fuck bumbling around. He had talent, but he had to refine and master it. He was Amazing because of his drive for competition and desire to self-improve.
However, because Peter was a relatively normal guy compared to the billionaires, super soldiers, super scientist explorers, gamma monsters, and gods, that's where the "he's relatable" meme started. Modern Peter is written to be average and a fuck up, because hack writers think that's the only way people can relate to him.
