The sinister six are idiots lol… why in the hell would they face Spider-Man, who had defeated all of them before, some more than once individually. They even mention how they shouldn’t but nope.
Peter losing his powers temporarily because he’s emotionally distress is an interesting side plot and Aunt May is so adorably unaware of what’s happening it’s funny. But I can’t get over how the villains tackled Spider-Man. Kinda broke some immersion for me.
