Thought on the video...
The main argument is that Spider-Man's no longer about responsibility. I've heard that one before and I think there's more to it.
About a minute in, he complains about One More Day. He focuses on Dan Slott's Spidey more in the context of the type of stories told since OMD. I don't agree with his point that Dan Slott's Spider-Man is about why Peter and Mary Jane's relationship would never work (about 2 minutes in; he sees this as a bad thing.)
He goes on a detour about Dan Slott's twitter habits, and decision to block critics, which seems like a waste of time in a piece about the quality of the comics. That rubbed me the wrong way.
I do think there is a view that the Spider-Man comics are about growth, though the description is a bit one-sided, because there is also a need to preserve the series going forward.
5 minutes in, we get into the current run, although he talks about the story potential in the DeMatteis run. The stories he calls original are better versions of stories that were told before, like the first Harry Osborn saga or the Lee/ Ditko story where Kraven framed Spider-Man.
5:30 in, he brings up the Spider-Verse, which is a major development in the comics and something that's part of the Spider-Man toolkit. High casualty rates aren't unique to Slott, and I don't buy the argument that the spider-verse stories hurt the supporting cast, since there are so many other Spider-Man stories available. Spider-Geddon and End of Spider-Verse are both outside of Amazing Spider-Man.
Suggesting Marvel's misogynistic for their decisions about Mary Jane is a dick move. You could make a similar argument about all the people who want Peter married to a supermodel.
It seems ignorant or bad faith to be surprised that a convention panel would talk about the new run, rather than a previous run that ended badly from a writer who left Marvel.
He's making a big prediction that the mystery box story will last anywhere near as long as the Kindred plot.
Marvel doesn't want to copy Invincible, as good as that was, because there are needs for a finite creator-owned book, and a flagship title that's been going on for 60 years, and might go on for more.
I think a big conflict is that some fans don't mind if a series reaches a satisfying end, while Marvel's mindful of how to get Spider-Man into the best status quo for Amazing Spider-Man #1145. Some readers see it as one big story, but there are other perspectives in a series that many of the original fans have not lived to see end. It's possible to look at stories in the short term (IE- the current Hobgoblin story is a three parter) or to consider longer arcs that still have a complete beginning, middle and end, which is what the Wells/ Romita/ McGuiness run may end up being.
