I haven't gone to see it myself, but I definitely sympathize with the fact that this is the third Spider Man reboot. I thought we did okay with Andrew Garfield, but I guess the world disagreed. Still, anything, in my opinion, is better than ever remembering the abominations that were Toby and Kirsten, so I'll count my blessings where I can get them.
I do agree that it feels like we're recycling history though. Comics were primarily dominated by straight white males and so our heroes came out that way. The comics world has shifted quite a bit, but the movies have to "catch up" in some ways, and thus we are left with the beginning of what comics used to be.
This is, of course, coming from someone who knows very little about comics.
