While reading this, I thought that it just might be the dumbest thing I'd ever read. Then I got to the comments. The approving comments. The fawning comments. Those might be the dumbest things I've ever read.
Besides, I think the Romita era is the one where the characters-or at least Peter and Gwen- got their iconic looks, and things like this make me think that creating characters that were believable as human beings was what Stan Lee brought to the table.
