"The sales and the reactions of Spider-Man readers as a whole put the lie to your assertion." Keep thinking that way. It's that line of thinking that gets us movies like The Transformers. Those made TONS of money, and were total garbage. Just because people PAID for something, doesn't mean the LOVE IT. But whatever. You don't care and it shows.
I’m sorry, but whether you liked or hated the TRANSFORMERS films, the fact remains that tons of people have gone out to see each one of them. And that means that a lot of other people feel differently about it than you do.
I’m sorry that I do not share your precise tastes. But that is also true of every single reader who comes here—all of whom I care about equally.
If you don’t like Dan’s SPIDER-MAN work, then by all means stop reading it.
Dan Slott’s Spider-Man is my favorite EVER, and I’ve been reading Spider-Man for a long time, so…
You are entitled to like whatever you want.
However if you are trying to say as a longer term reader you liking it means anything, just remember Joe Quesada was reading from Amazing Spider-Man #96 and he wrote One More Day and thought it was fine.
So…
No, me being a long time reader definitely doesn’t mean anything more than someone that just picked up their first issue. I’m just saying that I’ve read a lot of bad stories, and a lot of good stories, and I think Dan’s Spider-Man is fantastic
If you like it fair enough.
I feel there are objective writing holes which can’t be forgiven
