@magnetic_eye: There's nothing wrong with Pete being successful on his own merit and within the confines of plausible storytelling. Slott is a terrible writer.

My willingness to suspend my critical faculties and believe the unbelievable, to any sacrifice of realism and logic for the sake of enjoyment with Slott's writing is non existent. Why? because he doesn't factor in plausibility into his storytelling.

Some people say "oh, but it's only comics!" Well I can only suspend my disbelief for so long before all plausibility flys out the window. IMO the quality of writing on ASM has significantly dropped since Slott started.

This in a big major way, again good sir very well said.

@theheaven_guardian10: No worries.

And good, I'm glad we're in agreement. :)

Peter really isn't the next Tony stark instead he still his own person because even through the current series he shows that he using all his inventions to help the better the world

@amazingfantasy: It's all good and cool beans.

Why isn't is plausible for Peter to be so successful? If we just go by his talent, connection, and intelligence, this should be child's play for him. The only thing I didn't like was the rushed transition, but I think it is perfectly plausible for Peter to be this successful.

And this is what I hate most of all - Marvel themselves ruining Spider-Man. OMD was bad enough for me, and if they pull something like that again I will almost definitely drop Marvel altogether. My love for Spider-Man eclipses my regard for every other fictional character put together, so I will boycott anything to show Marvel my displeasure if they f**k with Spidey, no matter how good other things may be. (Honestly, I'm the type of guy that would prefer Marvel to go bankrupt than them screwing with my favorite character, so I'm maybe not the best example, LOL).

I'm sure it can be, but definitely not the way Peter did it, LOL. For someone who spent a large fraction of his life taking photos, he never did anything to improve his skills beyond taking rushed selfies, really. (Especially in the modern era, I think it is foolish for writers to try to have us believe that Peter could make a living of doing nothing but taking photos of Spider-Man, given the prevalence of smartphones with cameras that probably eclipse the quality of top tier cameras from 10 years ago. That's why I really don't want to see Peter as a photographer, even though I like the Daily Bugle cast)

@blackspidey2099:

I love the Daily Bugle cast too and I do agree that Peter should have a much better job than just being a photographer.

Sure he could still be shown to be tinkering with both digital and mechanical cameras by way of a hobby interest. I see no harm in occasionally showing that as a nostalgic nod and even for him to further develop his tech to aid in crime fighting.

A friendly visit to the Daily Bugle once in a while wouldn't hurt either. ?

BTW and it's not a criticism, I know a few professional photographers who have high end digital cameras and they've gone back to also use their 10/20/30 even 50+ year old film cameras because of the quality film delivers with expensive lenses.

Having said that I love my Canon 6D (captures beautiful looking stills) but I use it mainly for my videography work.

Yeah!

I didn't know that older cameras had better quality! That's very interesting! Thanks for the tidbit. :)

@blackspidey2099:

You're welcome! I like to think of it as another high quality format to work with, another tool in the toolbox.

Half of Hollywood films are still shot on 35mm film cameras. A lot of (A) list Directors and Cinematographers still prefer to shoot on film - Christopher Nolans' Batman trilogy used both 35mm & 70mm film stock and JJ Abrams Star Wars:The Force Awakens was shot on 35 mm film.

I've worked on shoots where we had 35mm cameras, other shoots using digital cameras.

HD digital cameras are probably still used on very low budget indie films or docos, in particular DSLRs like mine, but the real advance in digital cinema cameras are the ARRI Alexa a film-style digital motion picture camera system from Germany and the RED cameras from USA. These cameras are 4 times the resolution of HD, and come real close to matching the high quality image acquisition of the traditional 35mm format. I would love to get my hands on one of them. ? ????????

Incidentally, the Avengers films and I believe probably most of the Marvel Studio films have been shot using the ARRI Alexa.

@blackspidey2099: It's probably because a lott of peopel go on how they can't related to him unless his life is sh*t. There is no middle ground. S o marvel has a habbit of flipping back and forth between a good life and then an absolute crap one.

Wow, that's really cool! So the ARRI Alexas basically provide the high quality of film as well as the advantages of the latest DSLRs and stuff? And here I was thinking film cameras and stuff were way behind even smartphone cameras. Haha! I guess it goes to show how little I (and probably most people) know about fields we aren't even indirectly involved in.

And that is what is so annoying. I mean, I have sympathy for people who aren't having such a great time in life, but their struggles should have no bearing on a comic character. That is why I hate it when people say Spider-Man is meant to be relatable, since that leads to complete bullshit like this, with people trying to drag Spidey down with them. If we just followed a logical and natural storyline for Spidey, we wold have him in a perfect place - probably an independent researcher who is wealthy enough to fund any research and Spider-Tech, but not "have my name on 47 buildings across the world" rich.

^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^

That is certainly the most logical and plausible option for Spider-Man, but that would require a talented writer who can factor in plausibility and character development in the storyline. Slott does not fulfill that criteria.

47 P.I buildings across the world in the space of eight months is not logistically possible, it's just one of many things that makes Slott's terrible writing hard to digest.

Yeah. While I'm not too fond of all the wealth, I would be completely fine with it if we had got some more development before P.I. became so successful.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^THIS IS EXCATLY WAY I FEEL ABOUT THE WHOLE P.I. SITUATION.
