YMMV / End of the Spider-Verse

• Fridge Brilliance: Shathra being the reason wasps prey on spiders is probably why both Janet and Hope van Dyne initially held Irrational Hatred towards Peter's alter ego. As heroic Wasps they couldn't outright threaten him, but they could be influenced to dislike him for no good reason.
• Fridge Horror: When Silk cuts Morlun with the Totem Dagger, all of Morlun's victims are revived...including Patton Parnel.
• Like You Would Really Do It:
  • A Crisis Crossover event where there are Characters Dropping Like Flies and a weapon that makes victims so Deader than Dead than they are RetGoned out of the existence and 616-verse Peter Parker is killed by it in its very third issue? Jessica Drew makes more sense of being affected by it (maybe), but Peter Benjamin Parker becoming Deader than Dead for good? Yeah, right. Sure enough, the next few issues go on to reveal 'Our' Peter still lives, only his 616 origin was altered so he was never bitten by the spider. It doesn't stop him from being a hero, as he manages to not only thwart the burgler and save his Uncle Ben, but he later uses his tech skills and smarts to assist Cindy Moon in her crime fighting.
  • This being the so called "end" of the Spider-Verse idea. Especially given the success of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse which had an upcoming sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, when the event was running. Marvel eventually revealed more Spider-Verse books were on their way, timed to coincide with the release of the sequel movie. And even Peter Parker's decision to refuse to be involved with Spider-Verse events ever again, forevermore (the titular "end of the Spider-Verse") is obviously not going to stick because that is the way the old Parker Luck works.
• Memetic Mutation: Spider-Boy quickly became this after his debut in the final issue, where its revealed that he was 616 Peter's long-lost sidekick who apparently went on "millions" of adventures with him and Miles before getting erased by Shathra at some point. Numerous fans since then have begun making mocking comic edits that place Spider-Boy in some of the most iconic and controversial moments in the franchise, including the Death of Gwen Stacy, the Clone Saga, and the much-reviled Sins Past. There's even been overlap with the mutually divisive The Amazing Spider-Man (2022), with some edits suggesting that Paul and Spider-Boy are actually the same person.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Shathra corrupting Spider-People and turning them against their allies could have been used for tragedy or a hero-versus-hero plot (perhaps over whether to rebuild the Great Web as it was or in Shathra's image, a conflict between freedom and order). As it is the corrupted spiders are just used as mooks and have little in the way of interactions with the heroes or relevance to the plot.
