* LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt: The moment that [[spoiler:Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan)'s death was leaked, fans cynically predicted that it would be undone sooner rather than later given her popularity, and that she'd be brought back by the X-Men as a Mutant for synergy with her MCU counterpart. Sure enough, Kamala's rebirth as a Mutant was announced even before the issue where her death occurred had come out, for later in the same year,]] which only added fuel to the fire of cynics accusing Marvel of doing this purely for publicity and MCU synergy.

* CreatorBreakdown: [[https://people.com/snl-star-heidi-gardner-zeb-wells-break-up-8621421 With the revelation]] of Zeb Wells' divorce with ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' alumni Heidi Gardner, many fans have started to believe that everything that's going on in the title is basically Wells taking his frustrations out on both Peter and MJ. This is especially telling seeing as the break up between the two is pinned on MJ.

* ContentLeak: Marvel billed ''Amazing Spider-Man'' #26 as "the most shocking issue of ''Amazing Spider-Man'' in 50 years", saying that it would be followed by a ''Fallen Friend'' one-shot - and that all further details of the one-shot were embargoed until #26 was released. This fuelled speculation that a major character would die. On May 16, 2023 (two weeks prior to publication) images of #26 were leaked online, revealing the twist. Later the same day, Marvel abandoned their embargo and a [[https://www.marvel.com/articles/comics/marvel-universe-mourns-fallen-friend-death-of-ms-marvel press release]] stated that [[spoiler:Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel]] would die. Later in May additional leaks revealed more details for the death scene in question, along with another twist from the same issue.

** It will also be dueling with ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan2024''. In a case of HistoryRepeats, this ''Ultimate Spider-Man'' is being released during a time where the main ''Spider-Man'' title is being released during a downturn of quality involving a storyline that's doing its best to toss Mary Jane to the side and try to make fans hate her.

* DuelingWorks: With ''ComicBook/FantasticFour2022''. Both titles involve an overarching StoryArc that involves a time-skip and a mystery that positions the titular character(s) as a DestructiveSavior and HeroWithBadPublicity. However, ''Fantastic Four'' made TheReveal in issue #4, whereas ''Amazing Spider-Man'' has a much longer arc and doesn't reveal theirs until #26.

* FanNickname: With the revelation that Peter is going to [[spoiler:turn into a proper Goblin]] at some point later in this run, people who read the book have taken to calling him [[spoiler:"The Spider-Man Who Laughs", in reference to a twisted version of ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'']].

* RecycledScript: [[spoiler:Mary Jane's two children being magic-created ArtificialHumans that get erased from existence]] was done with the Characters/ScarletWitch in the 1980s (though re-emerge in other manifestations in later stories).

* TrollingCreator:
** Zeb Wells seemingly revels in the negative reception to the book, and has [[https://twitter.com/zebwells/status/1614922747498614786 stated]] that it's his goal to "ruin the book before Matthew[[note]]referring to Creator/MatthewRosenberg, fellow Marvel Comics writer[[/note]] is allowed to touch it".
** Wells repeatedly hinted that [[spoiler:Spider-Man's ex-girlfriend Mary Jane]] was going to die at the end of his arc built around "the most shocking issue of ''Amazing Spider-Man'' in 50 years", only for Marvel to announce that [[spoiler:Ms. Marvel, who was a relatively minor supporting character in this story]], would be killed ahead of the issue's publication.
