One thing that really stood out while reading ASM V3 #1 is how Peter just kind of shrugs off what happened with Otto taking him over. I particularly cringed at the line about making Aunt May walk again, something along the lines of "I really owe him big for that".
Ugh! Really? This isn't Kraven burying him and taking over for two weeks, this isn't the Chameleon hijacking Peter Parker's life and causing mayhem. Peter really feels indebted to the guy who killed him, took his life, screwed up his relationships, menaced his loved ones and killed in his name?

Should Peter be more upset over Otto hijacking his life?

Personally, I would've been and I think Otto got off too easy anyway, as I'm certain he'll be back and free to roam, but I get why Peter has this, "Im just happy to be alive" mentality and isn't really ticked off. He's made it back from "death" and he doesn't want to waste it sulking.

From the preview pages and what I've seen in reviews and stuff, Pete's reaction to what happened to him did seem very shallow. There's a kind of 60's "Oh well, it's all just wacky hijinks" feel to it. But I guess with the book relaunching on the back of ASM2's release, and with the whole "Peter Parker is Back" vibe going around, you can understand why Peter dealing with what happened to him in a more real and believable way might have been a been a bit of a downer and not really suitable for the book's target audience.

I think it's being saved for later issues when certain aspects of Otto's life as Spidey will have to be dealt with by Peter.

I hope not. I thought that after all Peter went through he has learned by now that sulking doesn't help. Originally Posted by NightMage

But not a random thing like my company is being ruined by Fisk now I have to sulk if only I hadn't gotten it in the first place.Creativity is awesome.
It's a cruel world, that doesn't care for you. Which is why remember to always smile.

I'd have been quite.......annoyed to put it mildly if Doc Ock had done to me so yes I think Peter should be a bit more miffed about it personally. On the other hand I can understand him being in the ''Not wanting to waste my second chance by sulking'' mode as well.

I'm sure he appreciates having his life back, given that Otto did kinda win. Peter may even owe Green Goblin some thanks for making it possible that returned. But of course Peter will just turn around and punch them in the face for something as trivial as murder and general mayhem.
Way to show gratitude, Parker
