Y'know, there's 'that old Parker luck' - that's fine. There's 'having woman problems' - I'm cool with that. Then there is 'the writers hate Peter and want to make his life miserable'. Guess where we are now? I mean, I have no problem with Peter having bad luck, but this is just ridiculous. He gets sloshed at a wedding, culminating in what should have been his reconciliation with MJ turning into a drunken makeout session with his she-beast roommate, which he doesn't remember, so that pisses her off, then the Chameleon impersonates him and makes her think that they're an item now, which is evidently a fate slightly worse than death, so then Peter owns up to this, and THAT pisses her off all over again, so she stuffs his belongings down the garbage disposal, then his perky coworker enters and they get into a squabble over him, then MJ enters and quickly leaves, leaving all three women mad at him and each other, then his belongings catch on fire for some reason, THEN, after all that, he kisses Woman #4, the Black Cat, in what he thinks is a private moment, but which turns out to be a live broadcast which MJ sees. I think that covers it, yes? GAAAH! It is seriously ironic that Quesada and company view this as bringing back Spidey's glory days when he was swingin' single. He has never - ever - EVER! - had this much crap happen to him at one time, that I've read. Back in those same days that they claim to be glorifying, yeah, he had problems; he goofed up, he had bad luck and instances of poor judgement - but it was done in a balanced way. A BALANCED way - he'd have a catastrophic moment, then he'd go out to lunch with MJ. His landlord would chew him out, then he'd get a cushy assignment from the Bugle. He had friends he hung out with, he had people who respected him. The good stuff made the bad stuff stand out. THIS is just pow pow pow, nonstop mopping the floor with him. It gets tiresome, to say the least. Also, if you MUST make Peter a bad luck magnet, at least vary the method of his bad luck from time to time. The poor dude's had nothing but women problems for months and months now! Are there no colds for him to catch, no curbs for him to trip over, no unpaid bills for him to worry about? Why must it all be about crazy women ripping him a new one? Is Quesada going through a bad breakup? What's going on?
