All ideas and stuff refashioned from before with Superior Spider-Man being a padded up KLH, spider-verse based on the fox cartoon and also bendis’ Spider-Verse event, while Parker industries riffs off any businessman Peter stories done in AU before.

Most importantly all these events center on and reinforce a fundamentally conservative idea of Peter as a manchild who cannot grow up.
