The Clone Saga had redeeming qualitys hence the Golden Goose comparison
1/ The concept was strong (that's my opinion only)
2/ Some of the stories within the Saga itself were nothing short of Magnificent. The Trial of Peter Parker, The Lost Years etc (once again my opinion)
3/ Pete's characterization throughout the whole storyline was relatively consistent. (Except when he initially finds out he's a clone and decides to join The Jackal...that made no sense)
....Iron Spidey, The Other, Sins Past...no redeeming qualitys...(one could argue the art was good...but Deodato's gone now anyway.) These stories had one purpose and one purpose only....to cause Sales spikes by creating a frenzy of activity enjoyed by youths who spend all day crashing their Evel Knievel Stunt Bikes into the side of their Parent's garage...."it's exciting, it's new, it's earth shattering"...does it make sense at all?...."Did I mention it's earth shattering??"
...Civil War doesn't fall into the category of the aforementioned because it does have redeeming quality.......there's no doubt about it...Pete taking off the mask makes no sense whatsoever.....but not unlike the Clone Saga....Civil WAr has redeeming quality....thus far it's been well written, I'm interested in seeing how Villains and the like react to the news (even though what precipitated the action was simply non-sensical)....and it's just an intriguing plot that I look forward to being played out as opposed to the "Other" where I was simply looking forward to it ending!
All I ask of these lame brain's is..
1/ Write a great Civil war
2/ Have Pete at some point beat Stark so bad he'll think he's back off the wagon (If he's not already)
3/ Give us back (hopefully after he beats out Stark) the confident never say die hero we've all enjoyed reading about.
4/ Gives us a tender "I may be leaving the Avengers Steve but you'll always have a friend and an ally in Peter Parker -Spiderman" moment
5/ Retcon that f$#%ing unmasking to hell!!...immediately after Civil WAr if not sooner!!
No I still won't put the Spidey stories back on my pull list...but I won't fire bomb your house either....ya see...ya give a little...ya take a little!!
Hmmm you think our theme song should be a remix of the Alice Coooper Classic "We're all Clones"??
Edited to add...can someone make us an A.S.S banner for the club house?
I think that he should keep the mask on. I mean, come on, since the whole world will know who he is he might as well never wear the mask again! What would be the point? I think Joe Q's writers are running out of ideas, so unmasking him would mean more of his enemies would attack his loved ones/friends, since they now know who he is.
Which in turn creates larger conflict for Peter.
