Marvel messed it beyond repair, starting yeeeeaaars back with the clone saga.
- Norman's return.
- Aunt May dead/alive!? What is the trend these daze?
- The whole "I had a baby girl once but she disapeared & I couldn't care less" thing.
- Gwen & Norman's twins!!!
- Satan broke my marriage but I'm fine with it, Yahoo!!!
- Now, that ....stupidity about Otto's mind in Peter's body!!! I mean ...Come on!!!

What's next?? Uncle Ben's gay sex tapes?? J.J.J being Peter's "real" father??? I wouldn't be suprised by either of this, or by worse...

This is too much for me, way too much.

I will say that as much as I hate the stuff surrounding Norman coming back like the BS relationship with Gwen, which must have made Stan Lee cry himself to sleep, I did really dig the Thunderbolt/Dark Avengers time with him running the show.

I'm just about ready to give up on him, too. But I can't, because 1). I'm far too forgiving for my own good; 2). I owe most of my current position in life to the character; 3). he's still a fun character, "Superior" or not; and 4). he always bounces back. Sure, One More Day is still canon. On the other hand, we have Spider-Man/Human Torch, Spider-Island (which only I seem to like), The Fantastic Spider-Man-arc, Ends of the Earth, and (forgive me for this) Dying Wish.

Peter Parker is always going to get screwed over. That was established back in Amazing Fantasy #15. But he'll get over it, rise up, and save the day. Because that is who he is.

That's why we read his stories. It's not for the fact that he gets put through numerous tragedies and tribulations for the sake of tragedies and tribulations. It's for that moment when he picks up the pieces and defeats his opponent.

But that's not how I want The Superior Spider-Man to end. If OctoPeter is supposed to be the hero, he needs to go out like a hero.
