I've read Marvel Knights Spider-Man #2 (written by Mark Millar, pencils by Terry Dodson, inks by Rachel Dodson) and...

but to me it felt as if they didn't care about universe integrity.

That's probably what it is. From my experiences with X-Men, they don't actually seem to care, all the time, whether parts of their universe match or make sense. It's most annoying.

It seemed more Ultimate to me, except that clearly Peter was older than that.

The Avengers didn't come off so badly to me (I've primarily read the Ultimate canon, of course) because it seemed clearly that we were seeing them as Spidey saw them, and Spidey was having Issues. It seemed to me that they were talking past each other, that Spidey was being squirrelly and uncooperative when *he* came to *them* so there wasn't a lot they could do.

As a newbie to the regular verse, I have to say, MJ = Supermodel is weirding me out. Whafuck?

MJ = Supermodel is weirding me out.

Well that's at least consistent with the Amazing Spider-Man series, though I don't tend to read "supermodel" as "world famous" or anything, but rather as having made a good name for herself in modelling circles with maybe some moderate name recognition in the wider public. I mean, it's not like we see hordes of adoring fans or paparazzi following her in the comics, at least not anywhere I remember. In the recent ASM issues she's been trying to get into acting (with not so encouraging results so far).

Also I thought it was kind of a dumb move by Peter to talk to Osborn without temporarily disabling security, because even if the guard on duty is on a toilet-break, how can he be sure that the surveillance in a high security prison is only visual not audio?I wondered how Peter knew the guard was (a) going to take a leak, and (b) coming back afterwards? And surely there are cameras away from the cells so that, if someone breaks out of a cell, the guards can track them down relatively quickly? So, why wasn't Peter concerned about being seen by the guards on those other cameras? His having disabled security makes a whole lot more sense from that perspective, too ( ... )

His spider-sense perhaps? I have no clue. Also they must have had some serious budget cuts if there isn't even a second guard around for monitoring the inmates.
