Oh give me a break, you know, as hard as people here like to hate on Peter, guess what, a large amount of males act like he does in OMD (not this isue though).
Yes, and we call those people "assholes." Moreover, even Peter at his worst has never behaved with as much CONSISTENT stupidity, selfishness, laziness and weakness as he's shown in BND. Even ULTIMATE Peter Parker behaves with LIGHT YEARS more maturity than this asshole.
I really guess I missed the issue swhere Peter Parker was Jesus Chrsit incarnate and not a normal twenty something male.
I guess I missed the part where Peter Parker - a certified scientific super-genius who started supporting his elderly aunt and inventing engineering and chemical marvels as a TEENAGER, before going on to be recognized as a peer of both Iron Man and Captain America, in terms of his intelligence and heroism - was EVER supposed to be "a normal twentysomething male."
Oh and for everyone about to attack me by saying they never do that, yeah maybe you don't, but there's a whole lotta guys who outnumber you.
Yes, and one of the reasons why I got into superhero comics was to ESCAPE assholes like that.
See, I think that Flash Thompson, as he was in the early issues of Spider-Man, was Peter's ENEMY, whereas you (and marvel) seem to think that early, dumb, irresponsible Flash is WHO PETER SHOULD BE.
Peter is not an "everyman," and even if he was, the "everyman" is not a Seth Rogen character. People who can identify with Peter MORE because of how he behaves NOW do not deserve to have "heroes" with whom they can identify.
