I think I did a bit of injustice to the original piece. It was unkind for me to imply that their opinion came from ignorance of the comics. They were much kinder in their response than I deserved. I understand their view that the individual movies should focus on the individual characters.

To me, I am a fan of the crossover stories like Age of Apocalypse, The Infinity Gauntlet, Civil War, Secret Wars, and of course what everyone has been drooling to see on the screen Avengers vs X-Men. These crossovers bring the individual titles into a bigger story while focused on the individual

I felt the BND gave us a good snapshot of what Peter's been doing as the multiverse saga has unfolded. Introducing the nontraditional Spidey villain doesn't detract from his story of separating himself from those he loves to protect them. Knowing his track record...

There is a tight rope marvel must balance while producing these movies providing a story that is categorically about the character while also feeling it occurs within the greater context of the MCU. Captain America was missing that touch yes they have the celestial narrative but show don't tell

An entire hulk went on a rampage and no Bruce to be found? But I digress. Peter is coming to terms with being both the mask and a regular person. He attacks it from a different angle than in Spiderman 2 with Tobey. That Peter ditched the mask and tried to be normal. This Peter gave up being normal

Both realized they had to find a balance and accept their dual identities. For me this journey of growth for Peter as he comes to terms with being the most famous guy in NYC while wanting to live a private life is quintessentially a Spiderman tale. The MCU trappings is icing on the cake.
