Amazing Spider-Man #14

(Basically the red crystal holds the essence of Morlun's father)



Spider-Man brings him to "Uncle Ben"'s dimension which is filled with radiation which is toxic to Morlun and co. Morlun says that this will kill him, and Spider-Man tells him to go to the bomb shelter. It will keep him alive, but barely.

True, Marvel has had the rights to the cartoons and such for a while now, but those are marketed to a different audience than the comics/films. Hypothetically, with stuff like the Ant-Man launch, Marvel is making things so that a moviegoer with disposable income can read the comic and not be lost. There was no real attempt at having that kind of synergy with Sony's ASM films, and I suppose my real question is whether or not there would have been if Marvel had been making them.

Removing the marriage, as misguided as it was, and the BND status quo was definitely an attempt to make things 'classic'. Whatever your opinions on Slott's writing though, you have to admit that the current stuff with Peter Parker as a super scientist and owner of a tech start up is wildly different from whatever platonic ideal Marvel was pursuing with BND.
