Yeah, I have.
Think of the major storylines in the old run and even the current one. The humor is there but it's because things are pretty screwed up. Also given that nearly everyone has said that the early footage keeps the story more serious but at the same time has the humor and other aspects from the comics and Raimi's movies, don't get the gripe here.
Not to mention Raimi killed off every villain in his movies except one. I can already guess how Spider-Man 4 would have ended.
Vulture dies. Horribly.
