I can feel the downvotes circling my carcass, but I'm being serious. It seems like Peter has been developmentally deadlocked since after Secret Wars, and seeing as Peter started appearing in movies around 2016, I can't help but see a connection.

I know a bunch of you want to say Brand New Day ruined Spider-Man. And maybe it did. Buy on the other hand, stuff still HAPPENED to Peter before 2015. New girlfriend, new job, new enemies (or at least good ones), got swapped out with Doc Ock, and then he "started" his own company. But then what happened? A backsliding. Then the Nick Spencer run threw out most of what happened in the previous run. Then the current run threw out stuff from the last run. It just seems like, more than anything, Disney's influence over Spider-Man has resulted in a bland, safe product, with no real depth for Peter and his supporting cast. But what do you think?
