Peter being a teacher is progression of Peter Parker's character instead of regression, by making him a photojournalist again- although content is still writable with this path- or making him another businessman in a universe full of businessmen (the Dan Slott era). I think Peter being a teacher is proper progression, and if bundled with him- say- teaching younger superheroes how to be spectacular, could resonate well with the reader.

I loved the moment in The Other where T'Challa is planning a sightseeing trip for Peter while they wait on results in Wakanda and he mentions that there's a highly regarded temple to the god of tricksters and spiders that Peter might enjoy seeing. Only for Peter to go "Sure, can't be worse than the last time I was in a spider god temple and almost got sacrificed" just as they land. T'Challa right away goes "Oh, that might happen here as well. Let's do something else instead" while in the shadows of the temple door someone stands looking right at Peter.

JMS' run on Spider-Man was the last run of comics that I actually collected. I hate to keep harping on this over the years, but OMD killed my desire to read ASM (honestly comics in general) that still to this day, I only will read trades. That being said, this run on Spider-Man was honestly up there with the first 100 issues of Ultimate Spider-Man. So many cool changes to Peter, yet felt like it worked perfectly. I also loved Roger Stern's run too. I'm a sucker for Hobgoblin stories.

I get Sal's having a bit of fun with the whole Creator of Babylon 5 stuff. But to be fair, Babylon 5 created the 5 year story structure that virtually every show uses now a days. Lost and Battlestar creators have said that they copied B5's structure when ploting and pitching their series. Ronald D. Moore even sent Battlestar Galactica's pilot script to BMS to get his advice about doing a yearly story arc. Sure, B5 borrowed a lot from Star Trek, but it's what they did different, namely having a continuous story that pays elements off from season one in season five, that cemented their place in so many fans' heart. Honestly, I thought Sal's comments were pretty funny, I just wanted to gush about my one of my all time favorite shows.

I LOVE this story SOOOOOOOOO much!!!! The Aunt May story about her finding out Peter's secret identity, and the one about Pete and MJ getting back together/saving Dr. Doom at the airport still makes me cry. I also don't have a problem with the retcon. In a world where Dr. Doom, Dr. Strange, Dormammu, Mephisto, Dracula, Ghost Rider, etc. exist and are a thing, I can accept an African Spider God guiding a spider (who is most likely to survive being irradiated) into the middle of an experiment (which does just that), and then guides the (now irradiated) spider to someone most likely to get powers from a bite from this particular irradiated spider (and not get sick or even die), and the rest is history. Now I know most people would call this too convenient (SAL). I always respond to that with "Well tell that to King Arthur" who is also a thing in the 616, and that's good enough for me.
