Okay, okay... I've calmed down a bit. NO FLYING! I agree with SS on that one...
Look, I've gone back through the whole "the Other" story arch. It has it's pitfalls (such as the stingers and Morlun coming back without explanation, only to die once more), but it wasn't the worst thing I read involving Spider-Man. The worst thing would have to be the Disassembled issues.
So yeah, I looked back over it, and I realized something: Peter embraced the Spider, Peter got new powers, Peter got a new costume, but Peter Parker is still Peter Parker. He got new powers and a new costume from the symbiote, but he gave that up after a while. Can we really believe that Peter would allow himself to be swept up in this "embracing the spider" nonsense and lose his humanity and lose sight of his goals? Pete's not in it for the spiders, the totems, the mystical elements of a world unknown to mortals. No, Pete does what he does because he has the power to do it, and that makes it his responsibility.
My point is that this change will not last. Peter will realize that his embracing the spider was a mistake. Somehow, he will overcome this threat to his humanity, the advanced powers will be stripped of him, and all will be right in the world. Peter will probably give up the new costume, seeing how it symbolizes and represents his grave error, and switch back to his reds and blues.
Two things re-enforce my idea: 1.) The spider-entity made out of Pirate Spiders (from "the Other"😉 is biding time, and 2.) Leo the tailor still has Spidey's reds and blues, and is currently working on patching them up.
So yeah, let's all have a little faith in the character, and in those who are writing it. I can acknowledge that some writers have no business doing Spider-Man, but JMS's run hasn't been the worst. Just look at Mark Millar's!

Is mark Millar the dude who made Electro a bisexual?

^ That was the joke. He's with this mutant shapeshifter who can appear as anyone he wants. She keeps changing into different women when he stops her and mentions something along the lines of that after his time in prison he was kind of interested in experimenting with his sexuality...
