Does ANYBODY actually like him anymore? Like really, genuinely like him?

The only thing anybody ever really talks about regarding Peter is that he's "relatable" because he's a poor nerd, but for most of the lives of everyone posting on this board he's been fucking supermodels or, nowadays, being a millionaire playboy.

He's got a fairly weak supporting cast and Rouge's gallery. The games tended to be good post-Spider-man 2, although that sort of highlights the fact that the mechanic of web swinging translates better to most other mediums better than static images.

So is the only thing Spider-man has going for him the self insert factor? Are Spider-man fans just clinging to an idealized youth?

I have genuinely never understood how he does as well as he does, particularly in the post-OMD world where everyone hates his comics anyway.
>>
>>87529145
His book sells more than any other Spider.
>>
>>87529145
He is my favorite superhero of all time and almost like a father figure to me. Yes, I do love Spider-Man, and I will be buying his book until the day I die.
>>
>>87529145

It's important to remember that /co/'s opinions often do not reflect the opinions of the subculture at large, I honestly have no idea what people are saying about Spidey's current books but I assume that whatever it is is positive being how maligned they are here.
>>
>>87529145
I don't like him anymore. I want Ben to take over and miles to drop dead.
>>
>>87529145
>The only thing anybody ever really talks about regarding Peter is that he's "relatable" because he's a poor nerd

So? The only excuse people have for liking Superman is "He inspires hope" which means absolutely nothing

Name a single cape character who has a true, objective reason to like them over others? They're guys in tights who fight crime, it's not that deep, some people find Spider-Man to be cooler than others that's it

Is this just a thread for OP to bitch about how people like a character he doesn't? Regardless, Peter is a good character (ignoring billionare Peter which is fucking stupid). He's had great stories (consecutively for thirty years, which is pretty damn impressive) and serves as a voice of reason for the majority of the Marvel Universe (this is important when you take into account how irrationally most Marvel characters get at times). Don't know what you're getting at with the weak supporting cast/Rouges part. Spider-Man has quite literally some of the best supporting cast/Rogues in capeshit. Also, everyone in capeshit fucks super models, I dare you to mention on character who hasn't slept with a total babe.
>>
>>87529287
>Stopped reading right there, Spidey has one of the best list of villains in all of cape comics

You're fucking kidding, right? He's got like 5 different "science experiment goes wrong and dresses like an animal" villains and the same amount of "generic theif with a sci-fi weapon."

Spider-man's villains are largely mediocre. The only thing they've really got is that they're attached to a hero who's apparently very popular.
>>
>>87529145
I don't. Too much Slott. Too much boyscout BS.

>>87529434
Guess the Enforcers don't count for anything, or Mysterio, or Tombstone, or Kingpin, or Tinkerer, or Electro, or Kraven, or Chameleon, or- you see where I'm getting at don't you? Thanks for basically confirming you're a movie seeing casual though.

>>87529145
Parker was still a physically attractive, incredibly athletic, ladies man. He's far from relatable to most people, despite the fact that he happens to be "poor". People can't even say that Parker being a nerd is a flaw anymore, which he really wasn't, he was just incredibly intelligent, because most now know the importance of education.

Even Garfield stated that Peter being bullied because he was intelligent was stupid, because intelligent people are usually the most influential people in the world. Which is another thing I can't like about Parker. Peter's IQ is unrealistically high. I hate it when comic book writers insist on their characters being "geniuses" especially when they're barely above average themselves. Why can't they write a character that's cunning in some aspects and lacking in others? Or just a someone who was realistically smart but isn't the next goddamn Telsa?

Writers could avoid so many problems with just writing characters who are realistically intelligent.

This is why I can't stand CEO Peter, it's fucking stupid, especially when Peter's intelligence is nowhere near Stark or Reed's. They should have just kept him as a teacher, that seemed much more up his alley.
>>
>>87529434
You should try actually reading some Spider-Man sometime OP, I think you'd be surprised just how amazing his villains actually are, the various Goblins alone are all awesome and unique, Venom, Carnage, Kraven, Rhino, Vulture, Shocker, Tombstone, The Enforcers, Slide, The Spot, Crime Master, Deliah, Alster Smyth, Chameleon, and many others done fall under the 'Science experiment gone wrong'.

Of course, you would know these characters if you actually, you know, read some comics
>>
>>87529520
Peter is relatable because he's usually portrayed as a teen or young adult who lives at home, doesn't get along with his peers, and has girl troubles. It's not rocket scientist, most people who read comics aren't fucking Mandark either

Spider-Man has been garbage for years. JMS was the only one who was capable of writing an aging Peter that spends time with his supporting cast rather than using them as props for storytelling purposes.

How about you actually read shit instead of just saying shit moviefag.
His book is by far Marvel's most consistent and best selling book ouside of events. Literally the only series other than Batman to regularly go over 100k, despite it being meh at best currently.
>>
>>87529856
We already basically debunked that OP doesn't read comics earlier in the thread. Especially since he dismissed Mysterio, Kingpin, and Tinkerer as literally whos.
>>
>>87529145
I enjoy the comics up until Civil War, the cartoons until Ultimate, and the video games are above-average with Spider-Man 2: The Movie Game and the two PS1 games being god tier.

The Movies, Raimi, Webb and especially Civil War/ Homecoming, are complete horseshit. The comics suck massive dicks. Ultimate Spider-Man the cartoon and the new one are going to be gay ass shit. I won't waste my time with modern Spidey it's all shit..

I still like Spider-Man because I have fond memories of him,and since he's a fictional character, I can just ignore how shitty modern Spidey is.
>>
>>87529612
Peter's smart

He's supposed to be a run of the mill STEM PhD candidate who has a knack for inventing gimzos and gadgets.

His biggest problem is he's supposed to be immature and short sided which is why him being a CEO is so stupid

it would be more accurate to say that OP doesn't like spider man, and cant believe people dont share his opinion

>>87529895
You can't just compare him to our standards of genius. Especially since in the Marvel Universe scientists have perfected transdimensional shit. He's smart, yeah, but not Stark or Richard's tier.

That isn't saying much considering Marvel has been utter shit for a decade
>>
>>87529145
Well I sure as hell do. He was the first Superhero I ever actually liked, and he's far more flawed and human than other one-note monoliths like Batman and Superman (no offense to either).

I'm not so sure about Peter Parker as a millionaire playboy. I haven't been keeping up with the most recent comics. But in the past he certainly has been a terrific character.

Also, what do you mean "weak rouge's gallery?" It's a contest between him and Batman but he's easily got one of the best.

Op really undermines what Spideys been up to lately. Spectacular is fairly recent and is the best adapted version of him to date. Ultimate comic was great, Miles was a decent switch up too. I have enjoyed a lot of Slotts run, its readable at the very least. The current 'Spidey' comic is good fun. He was great in Civil War as well.

With Homecoming, and a new video game universe launching with a Spider-Man entry on the horizon, its a great time to be a Spider-Man fan.

What the hell do you mean "fairly weak Rogue's gallery?" His rogue's gallery is easily one of the greatest of all time, next to Batman and the Flash.

I'm not sure if I'd go so far as to say THE greatest, it's hard to say between him and Batman. But the greatest well could be his.

>>
>>87530038
I mean most other heroes share rouge's galleries, so that's not a huge stretch. Hell, most Marvel heroes don't even have rouge's galleries of their own at all.

So I guess if you take a list of every hero with a dedicated rouge's gallery, then yeah, by virtue of being on that list Spider-man would have "one of the best," but it definitely wouldn't be that high on the list.

Here let me explain this for you since you're far to triggered right now to rationalize my post. I'm making fun of said anon who spouted our the whole 'Literally Whoes' line by listing off a shirt list of well known Batman rogues, getting their names wrong intentionally as 'literal whoes'. Anyone with a brain would known that Batman and Spider-Man's rogues are the most recognizable in all of capeshit. Now, take a few minutes and think about how dumb you just made yourself look, twice.

Strange is literally the villain for the current storyline, as well as being in the best superhero game franchise, Bane is literally a meme. Ra's is so irrelevant that even other heroes have been borrowing him.

Okay, I can grant you being surprised at first, but why did he stay that way?.

The thing about Spider-Man is he's different in and out of the suit. Even if he was acting star struck as Peter Parker, he should be able to keep his cool as Spider-Man. He was exactly the same in and out of costume..
>>
>>87531082
But that's not Peter. He wouldn't fall head over heals because some super hero knows who he is. If anything he'd be pissed off given.

A) His experiences with corporate scientists.

You know, all I really want is a Peter-Spidey, married to MJ, no kids, fighting his fun rouges (pretty much ASM 300 - 340ish and adjectiveless Spider-Man). Is there anywhere I can get a similar fix (I'm SOL with Mary Jane, I know). Like when was the last time Peter and Conners fought anyway?

I fucking hate event comics now. Used to love them, but like just about everyone else, I'm totally burned out now. I just want to go back to mid 80's - early 90's Spidey...

The first comic book I've ever read was him facing off the fantastic four for a job.
I was more into fantastic four than spidey as a kid but spidey was really cool and I've liked him since.

While I don't like his current comics I do like Spider-man.
It's a bit complicated because I don't like Spider-man as he is currently but I like the mental image I have of him that I've kept pristine over the years, the regular joe that's trying to be a good person, a hero. Unchanged by reality.
