The TASM series did him wrong, it made Ben a joke. But that doesn't mean they should run away from the issue. If anything, that gives them more reason to show that he is important and not just a guy who gets shot everytime. Seeing how many people still have that cynical viewpoint makes me sad. And now the film makers are validating this idea, which is just wrong
I don't know if I agree that the TASM films made Ben a joke. In fact they tried to do more with him in the first film than SM1. Whether that was successful or not in you caring for that take on Uncle Ben is debatable, but a joke seems to be a mischaracterization of that issue. TASM films certainly have their problems but Uncle Ben and for that matter Aunt May, were not one of them.
