    I'd like to know why is this a surprise to anyone.

    In universe, Marvel drilled so much that everyone hates/dislikes Peter and that he should suffer and be an idiot for so much time that it's true out universe.

    I don’t care about Miles and Peter's Spider-man is continuously depressing.

    If you want to be a Peter "Spider-man" Parker fan, ironically, the comics are the worst way to start.

      Honestly, yeah. The movies give more respect to the character than the actual source. The movies even have the whole city love him and throw whole celebrations in his honor. Won't get any of that in the comics.

        Spider-Man was not always bad it became BAD in due time, if Stan lee was alive today then he would frown upon what marvel has done with Spider-Man. The biggest mistake was bringing back Norman from the dead that's what made them think they could get away with just about anything unpunished. That's what gave birth to Sins Past, OMD and all the other crap.

        "Speak of the devil and he shall appear" and in Norman Osborn's and harry's case this turned out to all too true with tragic results for Peter.

            He may say that but apparently wasn't so jazzed on it when people complained about him incorporating it into the newspaper Spider-Man, considering he Dallas'd it to get himself out of the backlash.

            1. Lee basically existed to boost Marvel and never publicly say anything negative about anything they did.

            2. He was suffering heavy mental decline towards the end.

      The secret to being a Spider-man fan and not starting to be depressed by what Marvel's doing is to accept that OMD+ isn't canon.
      And, frankly, that's the only sane policy to adopt; if you accept OMD+ as canon you're saying "yes, it is in-character for Peter to sell his love to Satan for nothing."
      I don't know about you, but that's not a Peter Parker thing to do in my eyes.
      As everything after OMD is a direct result of OMD (it's still affecting the story 15 years later), then nothing after OMD has mattered as it's all OoC edgy fanfiction.
      Marvel drones may argue that it's all totally important and canon, but look into your heart, was Slott's run important or a big nothing burger? Wells? Spencers?
      None of them wrote a good spider-man story. It's all shit you'd tell people to skip.

        Slott and Spencer’s runs definitely had a lot to love in spite of their fault, can’t say anything for Beyond, but Well’s is gonna struggle to stay remembered. There’s so much focus on low-level gang stuff and JRjr shilling it’s struggling to have any good bits.

        OMD itself is the hero community failing Peter, so he turns to the dark, so it makes a very strong case for him ignoring the rest.

        He went to Strange, who didn't have any way to heal a sniper shot, even though he hasmagic that does, and like 50 potions that do. He went to Beast, who couldn't send Elixir or Angel to heal an innocent bystander. He went to Black Panther, who even though they can cure cancer and AIDS, Wakandan doctors just aren't good at bullet wounds. Iron Man, who directly caused it by getting Pete to out himself, having various nanomachines capable of healing, just went nah, I'll pay the bill until she kicks off.

        He should have just went to Dr. Doom, told him everyone else was worthless, and he would have fixed May, gave a moralizing speech about how petty the heroes are, and probably had Spider-man owe him a future favor.

          I'd love for this exact scenario to be a huge event that happens. Aunt May or someone important to Peter gets sick again, he asks the same people for help but we can kind of see from a new perspective that they are indeed just brushing him off to the next hero like we all suspected until Peter's about to ask for Mephisto's help. Then, out of nowhere, Doom shows up laughing, going "no no, I will help her. It would be my pleasure to upset 'his' little game this time around" and he heals May. He says something cryptic like "I know what it's like to have your mother taken by evil. True evil." and then leaves. Maybe it cuts to Mephisto pissed off and glowering at Doom's mom's soul and the issue ends setting up a big future brawl in hell.

            That’s have the relationship that people want to pretend pete and miles have. Just a young person who’s living their own life like Pete was while trying to be a hero.

            Miles story is JUST Pete’s but Pete has no relationship with him beyond being the death that makes him spider man. Remember when Spider-man used to be a story about Peter Parker’s life while being Spider-man, rather than just a story about how important it is that their is a black spiderman?

            >Remember when Spider-man used to be a story about Peter Parker’s life while being Spider-man.

            I remember this part and I'm positive it'll never be a thing again.

            Really, I'm not even worried about a black spider-man, a muslim spider-man or a non binary spider-man.

            Peter's spider-man in particular became a terrible thing along the years. I can't hate Miles because, comic wise, he's irrelevant.

                Yes I know but the thing to bear in mind is that the recton happened later. Fairly certain it was done since they did not want Jean to be stained with the blood of millions of innocent beings on her hands.

                Other way, mang. The blowing herself up thing was done because the original plan was for Jean Grey to just divest herself of the Phoenix Force, but Shooter made it clear readers wouldn't accept an ending with Jean Grey just walking away without punishment. Hell, he's the reason she stayed dead for so long and they came up with that wieneramamie story of the real Jean being in an underwater cocoon, since otherwise the X-men would be welcoming back a planet butcher into their ranks without any pushback.

        Don't turn this into yet another race hate/chilling thread, it's stupid.

        Peter was unusually a jerkass in the latest arc. If wasn't Miles, would be Jessica, Luke, Cap, Human Torch or, worse, MJ calling him out of all the latest bullshit. That's all.

          Thing is, they all did. But the things they were pissed at him for were exceptionally stupid at the time, and it's stuff most everyone forgave almost immediately after the inciting event.
          >Cap: Peter Parker refusing to talk to the feds cause he was in a rush trying to save Mary Jane, which was solved by apologizing due to hot-headedness
          >Fantastic Four: Peter Parker swiping some of their tech due to being in a rush to save Mary Jane, which was solved by apologizing and because the FF had more important shit to deal with eventually
          >Mary Jane: For stalking her and Paul despite all the shit he's gone through, to the point that she refuses to so much as talk to or even acknowledge him, which wasn't fixed cause editorial
          >Aunt May: For clamming up yet again about why he's in such a rut financially and emotionally, which he apologized for
          >Randy Robertson: For going silent for several months for no apparent reason, which he apologized for once he realized shutting people out of his life wasn't going to help

          So for Miles to come in and b***h out Peter Parker despite apparently not trying to reach him in those six months himself feels extremely out of character, especially since Peter Parker himself wasn't exactly trying to hide and didn't have the excuse of Peter personally affronting him by visibly ducking his attempts to reach out face-to-face.

          Miles b***hes and moans but not once did he go see what was up with Peter. This just makes Miles seem like an butthole for going all high and mighty on him when he couldn't be bothered to see what was going on with his supposed friend
