An example of Zeb Wells' exceedingly bad writing in ASM #31 . Using a mask reveal to make a witty meta-commentary joke about "The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man" a story that is entirely straight and heartfelt. Wells' "School of Whedon" writing embodied here.

Harry Osborn in the comics is *NOT* Peter's cool friend. He's the rich failson who is forever aggrieved that his peasant pal gets the chicks, the smarts, Daddy's attention. You don't get that idea by casting actors who Harry Osborn himself would cast.

@ThisIsATestTai You tell a lot about people by what they find funny...in this case making a metacommentary joke about a universally beloved story that's one of the crowning humanist moments in Spider-Man shows Wells' ideas and attitudes as an artist. And it's not a winning picture.

@JeremyMonjo Cumberbatch would have been totally wrong for Oppenheimer. He'd do a good performance but he would come off as too heroic. Casting Murphy was a stroke of genius because he laid bare the ambiguity of Oppenheimer's life, all his shades of gray and his mixed legacy.

@FlissReturneth Glazer as it is isn't a "career director". He takes years between projects and only dedicates himself to full-time project by project, so I don't think this will in the short-term affect him. Long-term, I think this will fade because while emotions are hot now I think it'll cool.

@sighsin616 In Spider-Man's own comics, writers (bad writers especially) feel compelled to get preachy about some grand theory of Peter Parker as this Eternal Everyman Loser that they forget that he is still a superhero and has the aura of one. Other writers write Spider-Man the superhero.

@CrimsonGP18 The expressive mask is in my opinion worse than maskless. Just a simple static mask. That's it. Ditko's Spider-Man was a static mask without expressions. Raimi's and Garfield's similar. That's it. The mask shouldn't emote. This ain't a Daft Punk headset.
