Superior Spider Man - Tumblr Posts

I don't think I can describe how much I fucking loved superior Spider-Man

I don't just mean like the character, but the whole arc, and how it shifted everything and the new precedent it set

Getting to see Otto break when he saw what Peter experienced, and watching him realize that Peter really could have gone down the same path as him, but knowing the Peter was a better man, and that inspiring Otto to become a hero in his own way.

But also getting to see him kinda fail at it, he views being a hero as just a general task not a full way of life. Watching him brutally injure or kill villains simply because that was "efficient" or watching him treat saving people as a data point, weighing each person and each save which does specifically lead to his downfall. By Otto delegating the task of patrolling to the spider-bots (which were cool and should come back) he let green goblin find a loophole which is what leads to the goblin army, but Otto weighing saving Amy vs saving Anna is also what leads him to realizing his flawed nature as Spider-Man, and what made Peter a hero!

Like on a Peter specific note, it kinda refocus his life, and in a broader stroke really emphasized "Spider-Man isn't the hero, Peter Parker is"

And then on top of such an amazing story, the art, designs, and concepts were just cool as fuck! Like the superior Spider-Man suit is amazing, I love seeing the kinda cross of iron spider and regular suits, with the waldoes, the tech, and also some unique features like the talons.
