I'm done. I just need to get this out there, and I think everyone is going to be agreeing with me on several topics I discuss.
Lately if you have read Spider-Man comics, you would see a lot of bad shit happening to Peter Parker, and the characters within the story. Most of my gripes are from Dan Slott, Zeb Wells, and Joe Quesada when they wrote Amazing Spider-Man, and how they ruined Spider-Man during there runs, or influenced the Spider-Man comics to create some of the most controversial writing decisions, but before we get into that, I actually want to discuss what motivated me to write this.

8 Deaths of Spider-Man
We all know about the latest arc in the Amazing Spider-Man, that is being led by Joe Kelly, one of the other writers for Zeb Wells run. I am fine with Joe for right now, but the fact that he is starting off his writing and his next run with the 8 Deaths Arc then he isn't off to a great start.
The ideas within the Eight Deaths arc are very creative, I won't lie there, I do enjoy the... I forgot what the demons are called, give me one second... okay its Cyttorak and his children that are the main antagonists and they are making Peter die or see death in a lot of fucked up ways.
Look, I do enjoy some aspects of 8 Deaths, but at the same time I feel like it shouldn't be Spider-Man that is having to go through this. For the past 60 issues, he has been going through a lot of shit, a lot of mental manipulation and the fact that he has been largely alone and getting beaten down with very few people actually caring about Peter, and even if they do... it doesn't feel right to me.
And the latest issue, um... issue 66 its... I understand that Peter has given up before and that this time it is very different because he saw everyone he loved and cared about die in issue 65 but... it was revealed that he saw three million people die all at once.
Let me add some context, one of Cyttorak's children: Cyra had her challenge revolve around the inevitability of death, and tasked Peter to hold onto an orb that would show him everyone dying all at once for some examples: Aunt May, Mary Jane, Felicia Hardy, Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy of Earth-616 and Earth-65, etc, etc, and if he ever let go of it, he would fail the challenge, and even when he was attacked by her sibling Callix he did not let go of the orb, not even when he died.
I have two things to say about this.
One, it proves just how strong Peter can be mentally, and emotionally under certain circumstances.
Two, it also shows just how much the editorial wants him to suffer to experience the death of everyone he cared about within one session. Which I get the point of it, but to have someone like Peter go through that all at once... what did you think would happen? He has every right to want to give up after enduring that shit.
Plus he wasn't mentally for all of this especially when he is dying so much now. Peter does not deserve this kind of treatment, he is a grounded hero who sometimes deals with the bigger threats, and it feels like in this circumstance he is going through hell just because the writers think he should, and thats what I also want to talk about.

Peter Shouldn't Be Suffering So Much
Okay, so I'm going to be stating everything Peter has gone through that I know about, here we go.
His parents died when he was a kid, making him an orphan and raised by Uncle Ben and Aunt May.
