It's a deconstruction of a deconstruction that broke down the typical superhero. All of Parker's flaws as a hero, his mistakes as a person, his publicity and his overall perspective on reality is played for good measure thanks to Octavius. Spider-Ock showed how Peter could apply himself better and be more efficient but realistically pragmatic towards dealing with evil which is ironically the biggest act of conviction a superhero can have if they took their job seriously.
Sure Ock lacks the moral character of a true superhero, but unlike Peter he was the centerpiece of his path instead of letting his life take control of him and his responsibilities leading nothing but misery and stupidity in his wake. The only thing that brought down Spock was arrogance and sheer negligence of his friends which apparently is a cop out to me because he did everything Spider-Man should have done long ago right.
