I love when Peter gets overdramatic about his single-turn loser villains.

I've said it before, Pete is just a full time martyr in this era. Even the most mundane problems have to be so dramatic and world ending.

It's not enough that this due is dangerous, he has to be built up to the point he could shatter planets.

Shocked I tell you
Like it doesn’t seem like a big deal. Mary Jane is willingly associating with the jerk. Like she went on a date with him where he showed his powers, and now is going on a second.

Also is Peter planning to attack him as Spidey? If he does he would be the aggressor as Rigby seems to mostly be minding his own business.

Also it’s funny to me that Rigby has no gimmick. He’s just a dude who happens to have telekinesis.

It's worth remembering that Rigby is both very pushy and knows where MJ lives. She also seemed genuinely afraid of him earlier, so it remains to be seen who consensual this date is.

Yates, you're a write-in candidate for Senator. You apparently don't even have enough popular support to get on the ballot officially.

I don't think "I will endorse you for State Attorney General, masked vigilante who cannot be verifiably shown to be old enough to qualify to be elected to the position in New York" will work, but I guess I can't fault you for thinking Spider-Man wouldn't know that.

Edit: Got the names mixed up.

Feel like Peter should probably, you know... tell somebody that Yates' security systems are a fraud. Seems like that is a pretty big deal and he hasn't even told his wife (I think? He just got the puppy instead and said that cost them the alarm money?). It's also unclear how nobody else has revealed this either, as it appears that Yates has been running this fraud for 20 years and it's not even sophisticated, it's just straight up a little alarm bell and the implied threat of violence if you don't hand over $1000 immediately.

What I'm saying is that this guy who thinks Spider-Man is respected enough that his endorsement will win him a Senatorship may not be the brightest bulb!

I was assuming the petition was the thing policians have to do to get their name on the ballot.

Anyhow, I think if I was Yates and wanted to convince Spidey that I was a law and order candidate worth endorsing, I probably wouldn't have contacted him in the literally the most shady way possible, with the threats and the thugs with guns

Yeah, if only Spider-Man had some kind of personal photographer available to document these kind of situations from a plausible safe distance, he could get copies of those photos and use them to his advantage.

Speaking of, didn't this whole arc kick off with JJJ praising Yates specifically for taking a hardline stance against vigilantism? Not that I would ever dream of accusing a politician of hypocrisy, but...
