Why try to keep your secret identity with MJ if you're just gonna flat out say you were romantically involved with Gwen? Or is yet another example of banking on someone assuming Spider-Man is the other man (The Other?) in Peter's relationships?

"The Night Gwen Stacy Died" coming up in Newspaper Spider-Man is really jarring somehow. Like, this is the comic where they almost left JJJ to die in the swamp to keep their secrets and it was treated as wacky fun.

Well, it is 2015. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 came out the previous May, so perhaps there's a bit more awareness of Gwen Stacy amongst the strip readers than the baseline.

I wasn't saying it's weird because it's obscure. I'm saying that, like...this is Newspaper Spider-Man. "I tried to save someone and failed" is how everything goes.

Also, this:

Why the hell doesn't Spider-Man just SAY "THE KINGPIN PUT THIS WEIRD BRACELET ON ME SO I CAN'T DO JACK poo poo TO RESIST" in PUBLIC so that people won't vote for the slaver and obvious bad guy? So stupid

He's acting too over the top selfishly for there not to be a course correction coming up where he goes "what am I doing? With great power" blah blah.
