Maybe you should direct your ire at JMS himself, who decided to use
his creative voice to dredge up the past to make revisions to 30 year old
stories.  Why not just write something NEW and let the past lie?

You do know, of course, that when I spend time with new characters a lot of
people ask why I'm not using the established characters in Spidey's universe,
yes...?

Point being simply...either way you tie the strings, somebody's gonna hang you
