Stop praising Dan Slott for ‘progressing’ Peter Parker

hellzyeahthewebwieldingavenger:

During and after Dan Slott’s agonizingly long run on Spider-Man a common point of praise from those who loved his run has been how Slott allowed Peter to develop and progress. This fundamentally boils down to how in Slott’s run Peter:

·         Got a regular job

·         Became a scientist fulfilling his life long ambition

·         Became a company owner

·         Ran an incredibly successful company and became financially stable off the back of it

·         Began to fight crime on a global scale

·         How Peter was able to now help MORE people and do so in more realistic and sustainable ways via his newfound wealth and resources

·         Had lots of different suits and gadgets in his arsenal he could draw upon as Spider-Man showcasing how prepared he now was, how, if you like, responsible  he was being in his capacity as a crime fighter

Thing is…none of that stuff holds up to scrutiny. Some of them don’t hold up as examples of progress for Peter, some of them don’t hold up as examples of progress Slott pioneered and even the stuff that could be argued to be examples of progress don’t hold up as examples of praiseworthy writing on Slott’s part.

And I’m gonna break it all down as to why that is.
