JJJ always seemed to be center-right to me.

I’d say Andrew and Toby were both equally great as Peter.
I secretly prefer John Bryne's blue and white redesign for Electro over the original Ditko design. I also like that the "starfish mask" on his face was a product of his electricity powers, similar to what was done with MCU Electro's makeover in "No Way Home."
"The White Queen welcomes you, TO DIE!"
I feel like Bryne did that Electro design solely based on the plot point from ASM#9 that JJJ tries to pass Electro and Spidey off as the same person and he made a costume that looked slightly more like Spider-Man lol. I didn't hate it either, though.
The Ditko costume is memorable. The Byrne costume looks really generic.
That's why I posted it in the "controversial Spider-man opinions thread."
But the idea was that the actual electricity would be sparking around his body almost constantly thus filling in for the fabric lightning bolt designs on the Ditko costume. Like how they made Jamie Foxx look more like the classic Electro in "No Way Home," by having the sparks on his face in a similar pattern to the "starfish" mask. Personally, I thought Electro looked pretty cool when Romita Jr. illustrated him in that story where Venom was hunting the Sinister Six.
"The White Queen welcomes you, TO DIE!"
While the stories weren't really great, I think the Mackie/Bryne/JRJR reboot era visually are some great looking Spidey comics.
Byrne's Electro is boring, while Ditko's is goofy, and considering how much of a joke Electro is, very fitting for him.
I guess if Electro were to become a more serious character he could wear something like Byrne's, but I still would prefer something else because that costume is just, eh.... Doesn't even have anything in its design that indicates he has electric powers, any super-whatever could wear it lol.

I've always liked Electro's Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 costume. It feels like a compromise between silly and serious.
Electro has a personality?
Would be funny if the electric parts of his mask got up at random to look goofy again lol.
Overconfident, short sighted, villain and stupid are the usual traits, though even with this basic stuff I doubt he's that consistent anyways.Electro has a personality?
If he were to smarten up and become an actual threat, then maybe a costume change should happen to reflect that, but again, I don't see Byrne's design as a good replacement for that lol.
Iron Man should have pushed Peter away permanently because of Civil War.
The homemade spidey suit from Homecoming is superior to every other Spider-Man costume ever shown in the comics or movies.
