In addition, a lot of the characterizations of the characters- particularly MJ and Felicia- have been criticized.
That's why I think there needs to be some distance. Part of the problem with evaluating a story while it's being told is that it is too easy to judge the individual parts not simply on the story that is told, but the story that one thinks is being told. That they feel it is setting up a greater climax than it already is. With the story now in it's entirety, it's easier to judge the whole thing on what it was and not what one thinks it could have been. Much how the stories of Spider-Island and Ends of the Earth have been reevaluated, and judged to be not as incredible as they were made out to be during their initial run.
