Even then, this isn't about irresponsibility, it's about him being short sighted, this is just one example.
I was comparing the level of hyper competence lol.
Plus Slott's Peter hardly lacked money and had dumb gadgets too, like a fucking "Anti Sinister Six" suit, but my point is still mostly about hyper competence, and Batgod was only mentioned as a joke about Spidey's competence being that good in those moments.
Zdarsky started out so bad I dropped his comic for a while lol.
He improved a lot though, very fast too, kinda funny his Spectacular#2 was just obnoxious to read, and Spectacular#6 was pretty good.
About the best thing that can support this idea that "Peter is the Superior Spider-Man" is that in the end, when things got too tough, Otto just gave up 'cause he couldn't handle it, while Peter just never stops as long as he can.
Even then, while that's something Peter has over Otto, it just feels like such a basic message.
It's like ASM#801, while that story is not wrong about Peter being a good hero 'cause he saves people from small crimes, it's such a basic message... And considering the kind of character Spidey is, which Slott was writing him for so long, that's all he can say? It really didn't help it when Zdarsky's Spectacular#311 came out not long after, and it felt like he understood Spider-Man better... Yeah.
Edit: Awshit, deleting spree, should've seen that coming lol.
