@ADour and @Mbarriosfuenmayor:

You are supposed to feel angry. Literature (comic books included) are supposed to make you feel things, evoke emotion. For this one, they wanted you to feel angry. Peter's been cheated out of a body, and because of that, he's been cheated out of life. And now one of his worst enemies is going around in his body.

And that is horrible. But you know what? It's supposed to be horrible. It's supposed to be a tragedy. He didn't even die a hero, because noone knows he's dead. Which kinda fits with the amount of recognition Peter Parker got for Spider-Man's good deeds. What they've done is opened up a ridiculous amount of possible plot points, with which to tell a good story.

Will Otto still be Otto even though he's being Peter? Yes.

Will Spider-Man change because of that? Yes.

Will people realise Peter has changed? Yeah, they'll figure something's up eventually. That's one of the really exciting bits.

Will Otto learn to be a better person? I don't know, but whether he does, or doesn't, the story is gonna be amazing.

Will Peter come back? Definitely. And it will be a triumphant return.

Was Peter's death sad? Yes. You may not have cried, and the death may have left you angrier than sad. But you know what? That's obviously the emotions they wanted you to feel. And I applaud them for that.

Too often, the death of a loved character is kinda just: "Oh, they're dead. That's horrible. It makes me sad." This totally changed it up for the better, I say. He didn't even die a hero's death, and that makes it even more tragic. So it's not Slott's fault here. It's Slott's intentions. One day, you'll look back on Spider-Man's death and say, "It made me SO ANGRY, but it was a great story."

So, I definitely don't want you to not feel angry. It just shows your love for the real Peter Parker. But, if you're feeling angry, what's your problem here, then?
