THREAD: Why Superior Spider-Man died in issue #9 without a chance to be revived
First of all, I want you to remeber that Slott handled Otto poorly from the start when in SSM #1, Otto decided to escape from the battlefield and started creating spider-drones. It's completely contradicts with #700 end where he acknowledged why Peter was a hero, accepted it...
...only promised to be better. Instead he did the opposite in the all possible way. And it wouldn't be bad if Slott didn't do accent on the fact that Otto lived through Peter's life and realizes that, no matter how trite it sounds, with great power comes great responsibility.
Second of all, I also want you to remember that Peter in SSM #8 didn't want to let Otto do a surgery because he didn't trust him. It's weird, but I think you can see a point in here because Otto was still cruel and unstable even as Spider-Man.
Third of all, I want you to remember in Slott's run (and not only, but still) Peter was a good friends with The Avengers, was a part of the FF family (Slott didn't invent it, but he used it) and Kaine was like a brother to Peter...
...(and during all that period when Slott and others were a writers, Ben Reilly was important to Peter very much too).
So with all of that I want you to understand that in the nine issue Slott fucking destroyed it:
1-2) Peter didn't let Otto do a surgery to save a little girl because he didn't want to be found. Slott wrote Peter very poorly in Superior to make Otto look better...
...it becomes very clear in this issue when Peter didn't want to let Otto save a little girl. He made Peter fucking asshole and because of that even Otto's wish not to be a hero that he promised doesn't matter because even fucking Peter Parker looks worse.
3) Otto have on his side multiple villains, but Peter have nobody except some regular people like Uncle Ben, MJ, Jonah and other. What about Avengers, FF or Kaine with Ben Reilly? According to Slott, they're not even exist or just hate Peter.
Why? Because if Slott would use them, Otto would lose and Peter wins, but Slott can't let that happen because people love Otto and, what's even more important, SLOTT love Otto.

That's all I wanted to say. Would love to read your thoughts about all of this.
