Except not, because at the beginning of "Brand New Day," when Peter had "quit" being Spider-Man, and hadn't swung on a web for at least three months, the writers took great pains to show that he was just as much of a hopeless failure even when he wasn't shouldering the responsibility of Spider-Man, so no, as Marvel itself has explicitly stated in its "Spider-Man Manifesto," Peter fails whether he's Spider-Man or not, because he's a "loser."
Except that they still allowed him significant joys and victories in the midst of his struggles. Current Marvel dictates that no aspect of his life should ever be successful or pleasant.Reply:
Perhaps so, except that, if I'm doing so, then so is the current Marvel regime, because they've flatly insisted that Peter should never win no matter what he does. That's not Peter Parker; that's Al Bundy.
And yes, Peter treated Deborah like shit, but I don't recall it being portrayed as FUNNY that he fucked with her head,
