so there's no actual villain in the spidery sam arc, correct? it's just a goofy sitcom where the world mildly antagonizes peter while he overreacts.

The kid still hasn't been paid for creating the strip right?
So JJ is using his ownership of the Daily Bugle to undervalue his workers labour while he sits there and reaps the rewards.

In other words, the true villain of this arc is none other than:

Spider-Man enters the room, spends two minutes silently creating a web hammock chair hanging from the ceiling, hops up into it, then introduces himself to the secretary. He then immediately leaves the web chair.

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
How do you think the assassin will react when he sees you, Pete?


I would kill myself in the lobby.

Normally she would have had security break his ribs and the had him arrested for trespassing.

e. Then would have come the shockingly restrictive NDA.

This arc has honestly surpassed Spider-Man getting beat up by a disgraced actor in a clown suit twice for me.

I agree. This is the most owned Spider-man has ever been.

Peter... maybe... maybe tell them the repairman is the assassin? Again, you actually have a perfectly valid and solid explanation for why you - puny penniless photographer Peter Parker - know who the assassin is!

Yeah, this one should be obvious
"Peter Parker, of the Bugle, I'm acquainted with Joe Erickson, the FBI agent in charge of safety at this event. Tell him ASAP that the elevator technician is the assassin!" and when pressed on it after the fact the only lie he has to say is that the assassin was so cocky he didn't tie him up properly.

I think it's just that the arc's been going on for months and this one happened to be published on christmas so it's christmas now and won't be by the time he's left the apartment to fume ineffectually somewhere else

I always like it when in-universe it's a holiday for like ten minutes. I think the Kingpin/Golden Claw arc, the one where Mammon Theater is exploded one last time, has halloween and christmas scenes.

e: that wasn't it, though Spidey does reference that it's halloween in the middle of a 3 day sequence where he offers to take off his mask for Iron Fist

TBF, at least this time Spidery-Sam had actual consequences that weren't just "made Peter look silly." Also he didn't steal any newspapers or cause any property damage at the TV station, so you know, progress.

I wouldn't say "fickle network exec changes his mind to chase a new trend" is a consequence. It could have just as easily been Garfield.

This storyline will end with MJ slipping through Jeremy's window with a knife in her teeth.
