=== YMMV tropes associated with the Second Clone Saga: ===
 
* [[AuthorsAuthor's Saving Throw]]: A few were built into the story, but they were never used properly as the collection of writers and editors tried to hash one out for themselves. [[What Could Have Been|A lot of ideas were bandied around]].
* [[Broken Base]]: Arguably the entire Saga, except you'll find very few people who thought the whole thing was good, and nowadays most agree that it had some good ideas.
* [[The Chris Carter Effect]]
Line 11:
** The story also featured one for Lizard. Someone got the [[Sarcasm Mode|bright idea]] for Curt Connors to be stuck in mutated-Lizard form. No one--not even a lot of people involved in the Clone Saga--liked it, so near the end, it was revealed that Connors didn't mutate and the "mutated" Lizard got [[Ret Conned]] into being an experiment that Connors did in an attempt to rid himself of the Lizard.
* [[Ending Fatigue]]
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: The whole thing was an attempt to get an unmarried Spider-Man. If that [[One More Day|sounds familiar]], you should note that [[What Could Have Been|at one point Mephisto was going to be the]] [[AuthorsAuthor's Saving Throw]], via a [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog Story]] [[Stable Time Loop]]. The editors at the time thought this was a bad idea and abandoned the concept. Then [[Joe Quesada]] picked it up again...
* [[Replacement Scrappy]]: Ben Reilly was generally well-liked in his Scarlet Spider days, but the moment he was declared the original Peter Parker, the fandom saw him as this. Things only got worse once he officially became Spider-Man. Crashing sales led to a reversal as quickly as possible.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: The death of {{spoiler|Aunt May}}. Made less so when it was revealed she was a genetically modified actor after the Clone Saga.
Line 19:
=== YMMV tropes associated with the Ultimate Clone Saga: ===
 
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: Fans’ reaction to {{spoiler|to changing Doc Ock’s powers from Technopathy to basically making him [[X -Men|Magneto-lite]].}}
 
=== YMMV tropes associated with the 2009-2010 miniseries: ===
 
* [[Angst? What Angst?]]: {{spoiler|Peter writes off Jackal telling him he’s a clone and Harry saying it’s not as the words of liars and lunatics and doesn’t seem to worry too much about it.}}
