First - SHIELD cut ties with PI for saving an entire country. 100% hypocritical, 100% nonsensical. Considering Stark Industries is down, are they going to just stop buying weapons? Oh yeah, and how many times have they done things like invade and overthrow countries? Because I remember it being on a pretty regular basis. Not to mention the fact that they decided to just ignore the situation in Symkaria until Mockingbird begged for their help.
Second - Peter gets serious to bring Osborn down? So does he use his nerve-hacking technology to disable Osborn, his omni-harmonic mesh stealth tech to surprise Osborn, or even just blast down the castle with his shoulder mounted laser cannons? No, he decides to jump in head-first like a complete idiot and runs into trap after trap. Doesn't seem much like Peter to me - in fact, I probably wouldn't even expect that level of idiocy from the Rhino. And then, of course, Peter just leaving Sable and Mockingbird to do the more important jobs while he fruitlessly chases after Osborn, when he could have just got his soldiers to surround the castle while he disabled the missile and then KOed the Countess in little time. It certainly doesn't seem much like Peter to prioritize his own vendettas over the safety of millions of people who live there, does it?
Also, are you seriously saying that you don't mind this story being so incredibly contrived (it would have been over by the second page with properly written characters and no plot holes) because it fits your agenda (for Peter to lose PI and stop upgrading his tech)? Because I just know you would have ripped this story apart had it ended differently. he whole thing of his high-tech gear being a liability, is, like I said before, 100% a plot hole, and Parker Industries' fate is almost as contrived.
