I've heard many people say that Cindy improved dramatically once she was out of Slott's clutches and I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that she has become a good character but Silk was given an ongoing and it was revived after Secret Wars and given an absurd ammount of promotion between Spider-Verse, the Spider-Women crossover and the Spider-Fly effect for a character that let's be honest no one asked for, came out of nowhere and had a lot of creepy sexual stuff in her contrived beginning.
Why should characters like Felicia be derailed for no other reason than to accomadate Silk first as a potential love interest for Peter then as a new solo character in desperate need of a rogues gallery when characters like Felicia have long established histories and are very popular have never really been granted more than infrequent mini-series? I mean isn't that unwarranted creative enslavement for Felicia to have been put in the situation she's still in?
I'm not saying I want Felicia to have her own title I never have certainly not in her current state and we need half of the spin offs and satellites currently in print to be cancelled anyway but the question remains.
