that's true of literally every superhero ever created

even Watchmen was raped by Before Watchmen

Every character is like that.

If you can name 10 good stories from one character, then he is among the luckiest ones.

Watchmen was never supposed to be a franchise, the only reason Before Watchmen exists is because of the movie.

Batman has more shit stories than good ones.

Not even a critic. He has one of the best catalogs out there. But for every great story, there are 50 shitty ones.

They have more bad ISSUES than good ones, but they definitely have a large amount of greats stories. Decompression (and the lazy writing it encourages) is the problem.

Alright, name me 20 good Spider-Man stories. People do that with Batman all the time, so a hero of Spidey's caliber should be up to the task.

They can be non-canon stories but they MUST feature Peter Parker as the main protagonist, so no Spider-Girl or the like.

There are only 4 single issues:
>Spider-Man!
>High Tide
>Annual #1
>The Kid Who Collected Spider-Man

So we're gonna replace them with:
>Back in Black
>Revenge of the Sinister Six
>Life in the Mad Dog Ward
and the fourth one can be either
>Spider-Man: Vengeance
>Spider-Man: Torment
or
>Spider-Man: Masques

>The problem with Spider-Man is that editorial has no idea what to do with Spider-Man.

He's a rotten situation because ultimately any change in his life will enrage one section of the fanbase and at least one editor fixated on THEIR ideal for Peter Parker.

Clone Saga was SUPPOSED to let us have our cake and eat it too with Peter passing the torch to what was functionally an alt of himself, but fuckheads got cold feet and left the entire thing a clusterfuck.

For fucks sake you have God Almighty coming down to tell him to his face "you're my favorite" which tells you more than you need to know about editorial and their willingness to break status quo. And when OMD could have simply broken up a marriage and left Peter a single guy again, no instead it literally reverted his entire character to that faggot momma's boy living with a woman who by rights should have died in her sleep a decade before.

Let him grow up and mediocre writers get mad and say "superheroes can't possibly be married that ruins everything," don't let him grow up and readers say "jesus christ why is he still a photographer for a dead medium," let him actually finish his fucking doctoral and people are upset that one of the smartest men in the MCU is actually running a business instead of being a loser for once.

THERE IS NO FUCKING PLEASING PEOPLE WITH THIS GUY.

Except the problem with the latter is Slott did an extremely poor job executing it. Additionally, it made Peter become super-successful too fast, and so far Slott's done nothing but show him making some pretty bad decisions in addition to contrived shit that looks like it's going to drive him back to the old status quo. On top of that, how will anyone believe any kind of positive status quo will stick for Peter if they were willing to roll back things with OMD and make him look like an incompetent loser in BND?

I think this is the general problem. People have this rose-tinted view that Spider-Man needs to struggle (understandable) but confuse it with making him Charlie Brown (not understandable, because what you end up having is a flanderized, ineffective Spider-Man).
