1. @Aqu@ – I can definitely relate to feeling close to that particular iteration of the character, though I was a teenager when it aired.

   Basically the gist of the scene is that Spider-man, having learned from Dr. Connors that he is still undergoing changes, goes to the X-Mansion to visit Charles Xavier. After being waylaid by the X-Men for his intrusion, he tells Professor X that he has come to him for a cure. Professor X explains that he doesn’t cure mutants, but trains them to accept their mutation, to which Spider-man replies, “Accept? But I don’t wanna be a freak!”

   I can’t watch it because Dailymotion is discriminatory against those who block ads. LOL
   But, even if I don’t recall exactly that particular scene, I grew up with the ’90s Spider-man cartoon, so that version of Peter has been my Peter for a long time. (and that’s also why I was a bit shocked in seeing all those punches when I first picked up a comic)

3. @Aqu@ — Contrast Spider-man’s statement with his reaction from the 90s animated series. Look at the 4:48 mark on this video:

5. @Aqu- I think the idea is that mutants are actively being sent to Mars in this story with the approval of the government just for being mutants. Peter is trying to make it clear that he’s not a mutant but that he doesn’t support sending mutants to Mars.
   So do we think Vulture rigged the Sentinel scan?
   I don’t know why Repo bothered trapping Peter in Limbo. Did he really thing Maddie wouldn’t find out sooner or later and just let him out of Limbo? I could see him trying to kill Peter but trapping Peter in Limbo?

6. Some years ago Spidey would have just said: “I’m not a mutant”. Period.
   Nowadays he has to say “Listen, I’d be proud to be a mutant, […]” with a bolded “proud”.
   It’s twisted and sounds forced in reality.
   For example, if someone called me gay, I’d just reply “I’m not”. I’m just stating a fact, not expressing some kind of judgement towards sexuality. No need to add “but I’d be proud if I were”.
   In fact I would probably not even reply if I felt the sentence was meant as an insult.
