The general public in comics act like fools. They don't appreciate the heroes, and the second they get a chance to tear them down, they take it. Its just like the general public in the real world.
Look at the news. What do we see?
Murders - shows how terrible humans can be
Fires - shows bad luck and whatnot
Blunders of famous people - Spider-Man would be put on the news constantly if he even tripped or something
+ other pessimistic stuff
People don't celebrate the good things anymore, they just tolerate them. Instead, they coin phrases like "well, things could be worse" which is by far the most negative saying ever. Basically its saying "things can always be even worse, so be sort of thankful that you haven't hit rock bottom yet" rather than saying something like "gray skies are gonna clear up".
People are idiots, that's why they would have that anti-superhero thing in comics - because people would, and do, do it in the real world. That's also one of the reasons that a lot of the times, they show little kids appreciating the heroes more, because they're at that part in their life when the simplest things are still simple, and they aren't corrupted yet. They don't care about politics, they see a superhero save someone's life, and they are a hero to them = they are a good person/alien/whatever.
Its a shame.
by the amount of slander going into every CGI film in the forums or elsewhere i see.."oh it's cgi, that means they don't bother with a story and its all they got to show these days".. or "The graphics sucked balls!" that seems to be the new trend today with any movie. I see this as such an ugrateful act and disrespect to the people who put effort into working on it.
But i get impressed by things easier then others. In spider-man 2, the train fight sequence was one of the coolest things i ever saw and i know some people who walked out on that film or said it sucked, just to impress their friends..

Amen brother, amen. Couldn't have said it better myself.
Stan Lee said himself, everyone told him Spidey wasn't going to sell because he had problems. But hey, he's like the most popular comic hero ever. Right? and why? Because he has problems. Things people can relate to. Especially Teens. Cause he has a job, school, a girlfriend and spidey time. He has to balance as do all teens. Speaking from experiance of course.

I wouldn't say the most famous super hero ever. Definitly the most famous Marvel hero ever and up on the list of famous heroes. But Superman and Batman are the MOST famous.

I dunno about that. Superman yes, but most people think Spidey before bats.

Who talks about Superman and Batman nowadays? Excluding the fact that they both have films out.
Either way, it would be great if people would just stop bashing the web-slinger. He's an amazing hero, and is known as the Marvel spokesman! I bet he could take anybody, given the time to think about it. Heck, I bet he could reverse the Sentry serum and beat Sentry if he had to. He's amazing, thus the name, The Amazing Spider Man!

I agree that he is great hero and is amazing, but I'm not sure about reversing serums. If he could, wouldn't he reverse Captain America's also? Maybe he would have to invent a counter serum that may work.

Bravo, my friend. Bravo. 👆
^Agreed bro. Yeah, Spidey is still spidey, even after all these years. Even after he's embraced his spider-ness in Evolve or Die, and probably after the Civil War, Spider Man will always remain the same person, and the same loveable character. I think Thor once called him one of the mightiest heroes ever, and he definately deserves that praise.
