[TheUncannyMike]

As a kid I always collected 2 comics ~ Uncanny X-Men & Amazing Spiderman. With Spidey being my favorite character. Ever since the clone sage the book has gotten worse and worse. I thought it hit rock bottom with the revelation Norman Osborn got Gwen Stacey pregnant but the mind switch with Doc Ock is horrific. Bad soap opera crap mixed with terrible horror movie tricks. I was glad to see the book end at issue 700.

Now the movies, I have always believed Spidey has the best rogue gallery of villains. The movies just can not get them right. Green Goblin, Venom, Sandman, whatever the hell James Franco was, and now Lizard in the last one. All bad in my opinion. I think Doc Ock came closest to getting it right and Spiderman 2 is my favorite of the movies.

Seeing previews for the new movie they seem to have gotten it wrong again. Going with the more "ultimate" version of Electro, best I can tell an Iron Monger with a horn for Rhino, another James Franco type teenager on a glider, and based of the "BAF" a "ultimate" style Doomsday/Hulk Green Goblin. Yes I am complaining about the look only and maybe they characters will have great substance. Some would say you can not directly translate from the comics to the movies but I think you can take two amazing looking characters like Electro and Rhino and translate them much better.

The new Marvel Infinte Spiderman line is fine. I have Beetle, Black Cat, and Carnage and like them. I will never get the Electro, I think it just looks bad. I will never, ever have a Superior Spiderman anything in my home and "BAF" no thanks. How great would it have been to have a traditional Electro and Rhino in this line. The Marvel Universe versions of them are awesome.

Dear Peter Parker,
You deserved much better!
