Amazing Spider-man # 4 discussion ( spoilers )

WOW, so Slott managed to make it even WORSE! It was made enough when it was just Felicia being written as an idiot for not realizing that that wasn't "her spider," or at least that there was something very wrong with him. No, it turns out that she just flat out doesn't care. So not only is she an idiot, she's also petty and psychotic. This is all about her "rep," really Mr. Slott, really? She's been regressing as a character ever since OMD, but this is just the final nail in the coffin. How is it that he writes Anna Marie so well, but Felicia and MJ are written so astoundingly terrible?

Well, that's easy to answer. It's always easier writing about a character you created than someone else, specially so famous and lot of fanboys like Mary Jane and Felicia.

any thoughts on how Pete knew the code to open Cindy's cell and the significance of it being 616001? They commited a panel directly to it so you know it has meaning.

It could be Ezekeil feels Cindy is the Supremo of the Spider-verse of the 616. Either Peter knew the code from the last time he got involved with the hiding place, (back in 2003), or, Cindy has mind control powers and can put her thoughts in Peter mind.

Not a waste when you consider that Tiger Shark and Deathbird are part of Carol's Rogue Gallery. And it gives other writers a chance to use Morlun in contents to Tiger Shark and Deathbird. Perhaps Morlun would be motivated to go after Carol with his unique powers for defeating him during their first encounter of which she helps Spider-Man x Spider-Woman, making her his number one target..

Except that's not how he operates. His whole gimmick is animal totems. Aside from them he would be wasting his time and energy.

Besides, the big thing about Morlun is that he's so damn dangerous to Spider-Man. With her powers, Carol should be able to waste him rather easily.

Tigra, Puma, and Black Cat have animal totems as well respectively. So Morlun would have an interest with them as well as Dr. Michael Morbius vampire totem as well...

Felicia and MJ doesn't interest Slott at all. By comparison, why couldn't he had used Betty Brant(in place of MJ) and Jennifer Walters(in place of Black Cat), of which he seemed to write them very well in his stories. It's stupid to not use characters that holds his interest. Perhaps it would have made the stories better. MJ dumping Peter for a Fire Fighter is not a safe bet for her at all; nor is Felicia being a villain because of a super villain beating her up. I don't see a real reason for Felicia to be a villain anymore that Jessica Drew, Silver Sable, or Natasha Romanov who were at one point of their lives super villains who killed with blood on their hands. Even worse than what Felicia has ever done in the past. Provided if Felicia got her so-called revenge on Spider-Man, she'd so realize that he was telling her the truth about Otto being the one who destroyed her so-called life. Felicia's life would be meaningless without Spider-Man in her life.

If you read the issue you would see the page where Peter learns it.
And it was probably a joke by either Slott or Ramos on 616001, because the guys at Marvel actually don't like referring to universes by numbers or w/e.

I really don't know what to make of this. I feel like we really didn't get much story out of it...
