Peter is the only chance of turning the tide of battle. If I was a villain I certainly would pick Spidey over the Vulture. Peter would actually save these guys. Toomes would sacrifice them to save his own hide. The villains have to know that. The only one they can trust is Peter.
of course. but that's from our perspective. neither one of us (i hope) has been beaten up and thrown in prison by Spider-man. i imagine that they have a visceral negative reaction to his presence. and Vulture is somewhat of an OG to them. he's like John McCain. any bad that he's done sort of pales in comparison to his elder statesman image. but they'll learn soon enough. i hope that Peter's smart enough to hide his association with Black Ant, though. that's going to make him doubly suspicious to them.
p.s. but my money's on Peter doing something rash like telling the villains that they can't destroy the hunterbots because it will kill the wealthy civilians using them. i imagine that Kraven does want the villains to fight back.

Long story short, I thought this was a decent middle chapter. It's not much on story, but the characterization is great, especially how Spencer depicts the Vulture as a lying, manipulative jerk who reduces Spider-Man to "You can't trust him because...because I said so!"

Vulture didn't really have the chance to make that argument. Rhino's the one who spoke up. and i'm not even sure what he's so bent out of shape about. he's the one who crashed into an occupied restaraunt. did he expect Spider-man to ignore the people in the rubble for his sake? a little surprised that Peter didn't put a spider tracer on him though.
Well, the Vulture did claim to know how to defeat the Kraven Bots, especially once he pulled out the head, and Spidey didn't really have a rebuttal against that. But you're right, the moment Rhino lashed out at Spider-Man, it was over. I also agree that, from a rational standpoint, Rhino's anger is misplaced. But from his perspective, he was the one who needed help, as he said in response to why Spider-Man chose to save Aunt May and the others in the restaurant over him, "Which made my life worthless?"

Heh, what better way to goad someone into killing a person than by gathering a bunch of fat cats, who have no regard for the lives of super villains, and treat this hunt as a mere game.
Peter had the right idea. Destroy the dome.
The last time we broke this shield it took probability manipulation that could manipulate godly forces and all of the power of a cosmic brick backed by the universe.
That shield ain't breakin'.

Realistically there'd be people on the outside trying to destroy it. Stark, Strange, Richards...someone would sense that something bad is going down in Central Park.
