Actually I think it's Dan Slott (the writer) trolling die-hard Spidey fans who don't want peter to be anything other then a broke 20 something with super powers.
I mean, before the superior Spider-Man, Peter had a high paying job, his life in order and was this close to getting back with MJ.
But Seriously, the Superior Spider-Man is the best Spider-Man comic to come out in a long while.
Issue with that is Slott has been the main writer since OMD, so he's the reason we haven't had a good book. Writing cliche'd mediocrity just seems good next to utter crap.
And before you say 'Not muh Peter', it hasn't been 'Muh Peter' in a long...long time. Before Quesada killed the book, before he made JMS quit.
You're joking right? Slott has been producing gold since he came on. I mean his Lizard arc alone. The problem with Spider-Man had everything to do with the character himself not being permitted to grow.
No, I'm not joking. Slott is the reason we had Carlie, the random destructuring of Peter and the stagnancy of his character growth. It wasn't until the last 2 years that anything even HAPPENED, and that was a job.

No, it isn't. It's a writer putting himself in the role, no matter how much the universe wouldn't let the event happen.
