From good friend Scott, he of the Scott Supplements:
""Jumped the shark"? Jesus, where do I start with what's so completely terrible about this issue?
With great power comes great responsibility. I personally can't think of anything more responsible than slapping some antiquated Iron Man armor on a senior citizen and dragging her into Doctor Doom's sure-to-be-dangerous-as-hell castle. To use "the only operational time machine known to man," even though Reed Richards has made - what - like twenty time sleds? Gee, if only Spidey knew the FF, he wouldn't have had to place his wife and aged Aunt in mortal danger. And it's all so they can go NOT SPEAK TO OR BE SEEN BY THEIR DEAD LOVED ONES WHICH SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA TO ME AND NOT AT ALL COMPLETELY HEARTBREAKING. And they're there for all of two seconds before Peter breaks down and has hisself a good cry. "Wait! Don't Leave! I need you! [If you stay, nobody dies!]" Which is, of course, the first thing comes to mind for any man who's had decades to come terms with the traumatic deaths of his parents: childish denial.
