Hey, Rich quit reading Spiderman the same time I did with One More Day. Spiderman makes a deal with the devil to nuke his marriage so his elderly aunt can live a little bit longer. This nukes a bunch of character development and shreds several currently running plots all at the same time. Horrendous. It will never be fixed.
Rich holding the films guilty for not being more like his childhood memories is so cliche' that even in a piece of fiction it would be embarrassing to have some tubby neckbeard expouse those views. Rich and Jay both properly identify that the unending component of major comic book properties is a huge problem but neither of them make it the solution - these are stories for kids. The medium is cheap print stock stuffed with ads for bubblegum and x-ray specs. You're supposed to read them for a couple of years, grow up and move on.
I'm not saying you can't like this stuff but maintain some perspective.
