>>149166575Spider-Man is a soap opera, without drama there's no book.
>>149166524 (OP)Paul was a great character, because he was an antagonist Spider-Man couldn't punch, and an adult problem Peter Parker couldn't solve, just a good regular vaguely ethnic single father dude railing his ex-wife. Spider-Man needs non super powered foes, in the past he had Flash, and JJJ, Paul was a prick, flaunting everything Peter wanted in his and the readers face, a perfect villain.
The problem is they started adding supervillain bullshit on top of his character, he's from another universe, the kids aren't real, he gives MJ powers, he's her tech guy, ect, and to make matters worst they're going in a direction when it's going to Mary Jane or Dylan Brock are going to be the ones who kicks his ass and not Peter when the Paul heel turn comes, so it's really just wasted character building, cause the reader is going to get the moment they want of Peter going over Paul in a satisfying way.
