->I think this book is written almost entirely from an angle of criticizing modern Spider-Man comics that came before it. [...] And like I said, I think the most interesting part about this book happens to be the not-so-subtle differences between [[ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManNickSpencer Spencer's Peter Parker]] and [[ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManDanSlott Slott's Peter Parker]], which is kind of what the whole first arc is about. Despite the two of them aligning pretty much the same politically and being friends behind the scenes, I can't help but notice how much of the subtext of this book seems to be taking potshots at Slott's writing over the years. Nick Spencer's ''Amazing Spider-Man'' book deconstructs and heavily criticizes Dan Slott's ''Amazing Spider-Man'' book. Given Slott's less-than-stellar relationship with the fans, that does a lot to get long-time Spidey readers back into the book. It's essentially saying that the weird direction the book has been going for ten years is over, and that Spencer is going to bring back a more traditional version of Peter Parker that's closer to what we had before...[[ComicBook/OneMoreDay blegh]].

->From the studio that [[OldShame inexplicably]] [[Film/XMenOriginsWolverine sewed his fucking mouth shut the first time,]] comes five-time Academy Award viewer Creator/RyanReynolds, as a man on an eharmony date with destiny.

'''Spider-Man:''' [[DisContinuityNod Probably best to avoid that]].

->''Anyway'', with [[CriticsAndReviewers the site]], I deal with pros and publishers, and, y'know, basically ''partner up, help out'', ''[[TheShill push]]'' certain things. I mean, it's like you practically work for them ''already''! And [[FanConvention this show]] could be a ''big'' break -- a guy who owes me a favor at {{Creator/DC|Comics}} is gonna introduce me around, [[HireTheCritic maybe even get me into the DC party]]. Not bad, huh?\\

->[[Creator/TimothyDalton Dalton’s]] Bond is a flawed character, but the movie embraces his flaws. While [[Creator/SeanConnery Connery]] and [[Creator/RogerMoore Moore]] were at times incredibly sexist, this marks the first time I noticed the movie calling Bond on his attitudes....M assures Bond that [=MI6=] is “not a country club” -- perhaps a direct reference the excesses of Moore’s time in the role, when it seemed like the spy organisation was basically a gentleman’s club Bond frequented?

->Nog’s reaction to been thrown out of the programme is so shocking -- it is clear that he has become entirely reliant on fiction...People praise [[Series/StarTrekVoyager Tom Paris]] to the high heavens for creating obscenely dull places like "Fair Haven" and yet Bashir is criticised for living out his adolescent fantasies in the holosuite. I know which show I believe in more!

->In particular, recall the reason given in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E2TheFiresOfPompeii "The Fires of Pompeii"]] for why [[YouAlreadyChangedThePast you can't alter a fixed point in time]] -- because if you could, the Doctor could go and change the end of the Time War. So what does he do in the only story explicitly situated between [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E16TheWatersOfMars "The Waters of Mars"]] and [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E17E18TheEndOfTime "The End of Time"]]? He pilots his TARDIS into the Time War and [[AssPull changes the ending]]... But for [[Creator/StevenMoffat (Steven) Moffat]], there are just things you don't do. Moffat has said in interviews that the resolution of the Time War always stuck in his craw a bit for the simple fact that, in his view, the Doctor wouldn't ''do'' that.

->I thought it was a nice touch to have Ben harshly criticize Peter's pact with {{ComicBook/Venom}}. It showed that Ben was more like the Peter Parker we knew, loved and remembered [[CerebusSyndrome than Peter was being at that time]]...I always hated the pact between Peter and Venom, I thought it was so out of character for Peter to make such a deal with a villain as obviously crazy and dangerous as Venom, and it was especially interesting to hear Ben voicing my own opinion. It was good to see this used as a way to show a major difference between Peter and Ben, and to perhaps imply that [[HeWhoFightsMonsters all was not right with Peter]], that maybe Ben was the preferable choice between the two.

No, not bad. I just have to keep workin' it... eat a few more years of ''shit'' until, one day, ''Shazam!'' [[PromotedFanboy There I am in the]] ''[[PromotedFanboy big]]'' [[PromotedFanboy sandbox]], full of all the ''best'' fuckin' toys ever. [-Franchise/{{Batman}}. Franchise/{{Superman}}. ComicBook/{{Superboy}}. Hal Jordan Franchise/GreenLantern. [[ComicBook/{{Valor}} Mon-El]].-] [--[[MadnessMantra Mon-El. Mon-El.]]--] Then, I start all over again -- only from ''within'', like a conquering ''virus'', until I'm in a position to establish my ''so-called "shitty" fan-fic as canon''. '''[[TheyCalledMeMad That'll show 'em. All of 'em! And the butthurt little fanshits that don't like it can go bag, board, and skull-fuck themselves]]!'''

->''I especially don’t consider anything either does with any of the echidna characters – especially Locke – to be canon as neither created the characters nor established them in stories as the viable fan favorites they’ve become. No matter what [[Creator/IanFlynn Ian]] writes, he can never alter the fact that in MY universe, the events of Locke’s passing as depicted in SONIC #143 is canon. Anything he writes can easily be counter-written by a better story with an alternative solution.''
