@shroudofsorrow: Him faring far worse against his usual villains such as the Vulture or Tombstone, or even begging Norman Osborne, the man responsible for the deaths and misery of most of his loved ones and of 99% of the pain in his life, for help against the Vulture, that he had no problems defeating countless times before, or him distancing him (again) from his family and friends for reasons that aren't always explained, or him stealing from the Fantastic Four or beating Captain America to get his shield amongst many things.
And there's a big difference between being a luckless underdog and having your entire life to suck or be forcefully made miserable. Plus it's beating a very long dead horse, the formula doesn't work anymore and certainely not in such a way as this one.
People are long tired of Peter's life being made miserable, of him and Mary Jane being kept apart because the writer or editor don't like MJ or believe that it's good story to keep them separated. They want for Peter to actually grow and get a better life, for he and MJ to come back together and have a family together, to see some real character development, etc...
