Fair enough. One could write them all off as just very bad writing, but at the same time, those are horrible enough that he ought not to get a pass on them. Funny enough, The Clone Conspiracy revolved around a rehash of that plot, but with the new Jackal (Ben Reilly, formerly Scarlet Spider and Spider-Man) claiming he was going to "reanimate" everyone so that nobody would die anymore, the ultimate twisted extreme of Peter's "no one dies!" mantra. That being said, the one thing saving Spider-Man from being permanently tarnished by those actions was that as soon as the Clone Saga ended, Marvel bent over backwards to either ignore or whitewash that entire period. Relatively fortunate for me as a longtime fan of Spider-Man, though yeah, we probably should get back (and stay) on topic here.
