@applekidthethird: currently there is a divide within comics creators. there is a group of people that are in the process of deconstructing the 'lead male role'. How are they doing this? by making white males, masculine characters, established manly superheroes into incompetent, inept, foolish men who don't have the capabilities of resolving problems on their own anymore.
They are doing it all over. Mr. Fantastic effing up while trying to save people then crying like a baby being berated by Alicia. SpiderMan failing to save or keep the love of his life (in the process attacking the concept of marriage another thing under attack in current stories in comics, movies and tv series). Superman the most well known, manliest superhero being pushed around by Batman or Lois and making his son gay, and the writer doing that refusing to have Jon Kent throw a punch in the stories. Batman no longer rich, inept, irresponsible, arrogant, paranoid and unable to marry the one he loves.
What is going on goes deep into a horrible, disturbing agenda right now.
As you point out, SpiderMan is a huge victim of this agenda. The character has been abused for years but this is one of the worst times.
