Favorite Peter/MJ moment?

[Venomfan]

i really liked the scene in USM after hes been grounded for being out late when he was fighting doc ock and kraven, MJ wanted to hang out with him, but he says he cant, and hes all pissed off as hes going home and hes saying all the things he hates and then he says this and i quote

" i just want to go to school and be spider-man when i want and go to a good college. and mary jane. God--i'm just so crazy about her. today-- i swear i could have married her today. should i tell her that? because i would-- i would marry her."

it really is one of my favorite peter/mj moments, and i totally connected because like iv been there, iv thought that, and wondered if i should tell the girl.

If Gwen loved Peter more she wouldn't have been de-virginized by Norman.

[Willowhugger]

I still plead it's a Gwen-clone.

:-)

Like it's a Doombot.

[The Caped Knight]

I dunno... for some reason i always liked when Peter reveals his secret to M.J. in USM, and Aunt May comes in thinking their up to something...

Great stuff... always liked that moment.

lol me too . that was a great moment .

[shinlyle]

If Gwen loved Peter more she wouldn't have been de-virginized by Norman.

Once upon a time, the mere mentioning of this would make me throw up...I guess I'm just indifferent to it, now.

*vomits*


Okay...I guess I'm still recovering.

SENSATIONAL SPIDER-MAN #32

this is a cool Spidey & MJ pic .

[Venomfan]

MJ doesnt look her usual self there

[freemadison]

I like that pic a LOT. I don't know why.

[shinlyle]

Maybe....MAYBE....Marvel will make that into a poster. It's been awhile since a good Spidey comic poster has been placed upon my wall...especially one with Spidey and MJ! I think the last one with the two of them was the poster for Spider-Man: Blue #3.

[spideylover89]

^I loved that cover, easily the best of the whole series. :up:

[ragingdemon155]

Thats a pretty bad ass cover of Spidey and MJ.

Wouldn't mind having that up on my wall.

[Blackredens]

My Favorite Moment would be When the Black-Cat Grabbed MJ by the throat and then tossed her around like a rag doll! that was hilarious :eek:

I love TAS it had some really good Peter & Mj moments .

[Captivated]

I love TAS it had some really good Peter & Mj moments .I found a petition to release the whole series on DVD...
http://www.petitiononline.com/Spidey/petition.html

One can hope.

[Venomfan]

MJ sure wore an ugly sweater on that show lol, old yellow poofy thing, wouldnt suprise me if they pulled something out like that for the movies, in the first one she dressed like MJ should, but second one looks like she shops at value village, and same goes for the 3rd at this point

[DACrowe]

I wouldn't say the third, but yeah in the second Dunst "dressed herself" and "did her hair" or rather her people did and they obviously had no idea how it would film. Looks like she put herself back in Sam's hands thankfully for the third.

And yes the show was quite good at giving great moments between Peter and MJ and Peter and Felicia who had a very fun relationship in the first season and then her becoming Black Cat was very well done in the fourth and fifth seasons (one of the ighlights of the disappointing fifth season was Black Cat continually popping up).

Which brings me to that lousy comic posted. No offense but I think it wrote BC totally wrong and MJ too for that matter. I think BC wasn't so insane nor MJ so weak. I thought their "budding" relationship over Peter was written much better by Mark Millar on his 12 issue run of Marvel Knights Spider-Man though.

[Venomfan]

shes wearing quite the pair of shorts in that new pic

[Venomfan]

well heres the worst peter/mj moment

Oh for those who want to see the whole animated series (again). One word. BitTorrent.

I'm done now.

I love how Ed Benes draws MJ.

Amazing Spider-Man #148, by Gerry Conway, which was part of the first clone saga that involved the first appearance of the Gwen Stacy clone. BTW, Peter, once he realized that he essentially slammed the door in MJ's face--being distracted by thoughts of Gwen--ended up feeling like a total dope.

EDIT: Of course, they..ahem..."reconciled" an issue later:

http://www.spidervillain.com/SpiderManCovers/Amazing/ASM149/Page3.jpg

Yes, folks. This is when comics were a little more discreet about Peter getting some "Spidey action." :D


Gives a new meaning to the term "Thwip!" doesnt it? :woot:

[Kraven]

I'd say the moment in ASM #50 (vol.2) was very good. I really liked the last page picture, too.

Yeah it does. My question is, why can't the real life movie MJ look more like the animated MJ? :woot:

[Venomfan]

Yeah it does. My question is, why can't the real life movie MJ look more like the animated MJ? :woot:
is that the MTV one? where she has like shoulder length hair and like a black collar necklace or something always on? cuz that one was super ugly

[gliderpilotgirl]

ok..update: I just finished the series: Who's the crazy person at MTV who made up a character then had her start sleeping with Peter!! This is movie Peter, he would NEVER ditch MJ like that. must have been the non Spideyfans there, cause Bendis would never write such tripe. But back to my point..there are some very very nice Petey/MJ moments, early in the show. Especially when Peter is dressed as Spidey..mmmmmmm...

But back to my point..there are some very very nice Petey/MJ moments, early in the show. Especially when Peter is dressed as Spidey..mmmmmmm...I think you are jumping to conclusions...

I own that series and have watched it several times. I know it's limited in characters (I mean, where is Aunt May?) but I still really loved it. The graphics are interesting and Spider-Man in action has never MOVED so well. LOVED that part. I also liked the way Peter was portrayed, although I was NOT as impressed with their take on MJ's look. Hated the hair-do.

I was ok with them introducing a new character - Indy - but I never got the sense that Peter liked her MORE than MJ. His dialog about it making more sense to connect with someone thru common interests (Indy), than just pure chemistry (Mary Jane), made me think he liked Indy, but he was still crazy about MJ. That, and the fact that he kept saying to Indy "this is all just casual between us, right?"

The scene where MJ came over (the morning after they had been kidnapped) and found Indy there in Peter's apt... I know that some would jump to a circumstantial conclusion... But I don't, for several reasons.

Peter had no trouble keeping a girl he admitted he was hot for at arms length, so why would he sleep with one he wanted to stay "casual" with? He wouldn't!! So I don't assume he did, just because we saw her walking down his stairs.

MJ called him naive, innocent... he blushed when she flirted with him... he was in love with MJ... and almost as if to insolate himself from the relationship he thought he shouldn't indulge in, he developed one with a girl he was NOT as interested in, who he could safely flirt and work with. She also furthered his career.

I was annoyed that the show IMPLIED something happened between them (trying to pander to a raunchy MTV audience?) but I assumed that they must have been hashing out details of the evenings events - because they did like sleuthing together - and it got late. So, instead of going home, the brazen hussy managed to stay there... but that doesn't mean - and I don't believe - anything "happened" between them.

Hated the hair-do.

MJ's hair was designed as such for technical reasons. It's too time consuming and difficult to animate long hair. You should hear how freaked out the entire team of "The Incredibles" was just because of the scene where Elasti-girl brushes Violet's hair behind her ear.

I really disliked that show. Little to no use of classic Spidey villains, and the ones they designed sucked. I mean i understand the movies have to have their pick- but there are tons of classic Spidey villains that will never hit the big screen.

But worse- the storylines. In the lady ninja story, MJ walks in on two decapitated bodies, nearly gets killed herself (Yeah right, she could outrun the Ninja chick )and within a few minutes she's laughing and joking with Spidey like nothing happened.

The Talon episode was the worst. Peter is afraid to go to Harry and tell him about (whatever her name was) because Harry might be "hurt". How much REAL hurt could that psycho cause Harry due to her high-risk lifestyle? She already had people after her. Harry could've been killed in the crossfire. And why as Spidey was he trying to reform her? She was doing things every bit as dangerous to the public (like dropping the steel tube) as any other criminal- but she deserved special treatment because she was bedding Harry?

For that matter (And this is because I don't remember) why was Peter avoiding a relationship MJ? To keep her out of danger? But it was okay to put Indy in danger because he didn't love her?

[Captivated]

^
You have some points there, but I didn't expect it to be full of comic book continuity, and just took it for what it was... a different spin, loosely taking off from the first SM movie.

I liked WATCHING it. The high contrast art, the way Spidey moved...

I think they may have known their audience too. I have the box set of the original cartoon, ALL of the Animated series from the 90s (at last!) and MTV's New Animated series. The latter is the only one the kids in my life really got into. I'm not agreeing, just saying...

[Venomfan]

man even going back to the beginning they really did make it seem like MJ is the one for Pete. i mean right from the start aunt may and aunt anna are trying to set them up, pete assumes she ugly and boring or w/e, they hide her face and betty and liz see how hot she really is, but we dont see her face, and then the moment we and pete see her "u just hit the jackpot" part, like i cant believe stan even bothered making gwen, like it seems like MJ was the one for him from the start

[fangrl06]

yup...those novels are the best..I wonder why they didn't do more....
I agree, I really injoyed them. It's a shame they didn't make more. Although, the writing in SM loves MJ is very similar.

[gliderpilotgirl]

true..that is how I got into the series: I found the novels at the library, than the MJ digests, and I started to pick up the series when it started. They are amazing, though I would love Marvel forever if they'd do a series on Ultimate MJ.
I love Spidey loves MJ, but I wish she'd be more aggressive, and show some backbone, like Ult MJ.

[Venomfan]

i've only read the first TPB of spidey loves MJ, and i found she tends to act more like Gwen would

[fangrl06]

I agree with both of you. Don't get me wrong, I love "SM loves MJ", but she's really nice and girl-next-door like Gwen, and not really the hard to get party-girl MJ. That's why I like MJ so much. There's more to her then the nice girl-next-door. She hides a lot of that by putting on the party-girl act when really there is more to her. I wish they would explore that and her troubled childhood. It would make her more interesting and more human.

[gliderpilotgirl]

like they did with Ultimate MJ..they showed how bad things were with her dad, and at home, and how it affected her. I thought it showed what a strong person she is, and gave her depth. That's one my favorite things about 616 MJ too, is she came from a bad homelife and managed to get her life together. Some fans ( and editors )completly miss how important it is for Peter to have that strong backing.

Yeah, the way Pete has been written does make him seem like that kind of guy. The way I like to look at it, though, is this: he planned to wait until marriage with Gwen. But when Gwen died, it shook Peter to the core and made him decide not to wait anymore. His outlook wasn't quite as innocent and rosy anymore, and he probably started thinking that he could die any moment, so he might as well enjoy himself.

[DACrowe]

That and MJ and BC aren't exactly the kind to wait 'till marriage. That and Pete is the average man, and how many men these days wait until marriage then?

Oh come now. that's just wishful thinking to keep Peter "true" to MJ. I'll bet if there wasn't conclusive proof of the Black Cat affair, you guys would be denying that too. As always with this debate, I challenge any of you hardcore MJ fans to show where either Peter or Gwen were timid sexually. If anything, they were FAR more passionate than Peter and MJ after their first coupling. If you look at the issues prior to Peter's first proposal, he and MJ only acted as friends, not lovers. Peter's proposal seems totally out of left field. The second proposal as well, but that's another story.

[Mara Jane]

Good God, Dragon, what part of "the way I like to look at it" do you not understand? I never said this was the definitive story, did I? It's merely my own personal interpretation. Sheesh, you are so blinded by your own defense of Saint Gwen that there just isn't room for other peoples' points of view is there?

If I want to look at the world with rosy-colored glasses I am entitled to that. :p

It's a point of looking at the characterization realistically. And it isn't about defending "Saint Gwen". I don't even like Black Cat but there's no denying that the relationship existed. In fact if you were looking at the characters realistically, there'd be no concept of Gwen being a Saint in the first place, which is my point. The only reason these debates ever arise is because some of you have made MJ a deity. It's not that Peter has loved both MJ & Gwen equally. HE HAS TO LOVE MJ MORE. She has to be the ONLY WOMAN he has been or could ever be with. Even though I dig Gwen more, I certainly never try and make it that Peter loved her more.

Yeah. You're certainly entitled to look through rose-colored or any other type of glasses. But is the reality of the characters that horrible?

I really liked both books. I even wrote reviews on Amazon.

Yeah, the target audience may have been young girls, but the books also have that special something (like the early comics) that appeals to a wider audience. If you like MJ and Peter, I think it's a safe bet. :up:

[DACrowe]

I don't think MJ fans are (well not me and most anyway) trying to force her "to be the only one."

I just find (as do many) Gwen a boring character; while her affect on the Spidey world cannot be denied and how it shook Peter up so much. Nor the fact that she was part of the golden age (albeit so was MJ) of Spidey. She just was a boring character and some of the revisionist reworkings of her being his true love can be as annoying as that of JMS turning her into a stuipid tramp, which she most obviously was not.

Oh well.

[Sloth7d]

Yeah... What do you mean, MANY girls? I count exactly 2... and I'll argue eloquently that Gwen did not make 3. (But please don't make me... I'm so busy... :yay:)
Peter slept with Felicia? When did that happen?

[Dragon]

I don't think MJ fans are (well not me and most anyway) trying to force her "to be the only one."

Well, in this thread alone we have at least 2, and I've debated with others over this subject as well. And for that matter we have the very elaborate essay by MadGoblin.

I just find (as do many) Gwen a boring character; while her affect on the Spidey world cannot be denied and how it shook Peter up so much. Nor the fact that she was part of the golden age (albeit so was MJ) of Spidey. She just was a boring character and some of the revisionist reworkings of her being his true love can be as annoying as that of JMS turning her into a stuipid tramp, which she most obviously was not.

Oh well.

Writing Gwen as Peter's true love isn't revisionist. It's on the comic page, displayed as plain as day. Were she not killed off, they'd have ended up together. Peter was completely happy with her. And YOU believing she was boring doesn't alter the likelihood of the characters having been sexually active in their relationship. The suggesting that they "were waiting for marriage" is revisionist as there's nothing to suggest that on the comic page. People have in hindsight rendered Gwen an innocent virginal character which isn't anymore true to the character than her ****ting with Osborn. The more reasonable idea is that Peter and Gwen did wait for a period as both were virgins when they got together. And it's only because of his sexual experience with Gwen that he was prepared to engage more quickly with MJ and to have the very awkward and freaky relationship he had with Black Cat, and for that matter the suggested fling with Betty.

And speaking of boring, MJ has been a snoozer for 20 YEARS. There is almost no storyline wherein she's been pivotal. Her emotional issues that some harp on as making her interesting was for ONE ISSUE and has never been dealt with since. For that matter it wasn't anything special even when it did happen. In Gwen's case, she was never explored as anything other than the girl who loved Peter. But she had tons more potential. The missed opportunities are likely why Gwen is brought back repeatedly. If MJ were such a strong character, there'd be no need to ever mention Gwen again. They certainly didn't bring Betty up when Gwen was around.

MJ has had the benefit of focus that Gwen never had, and yet writers still can't find anything interesting to do with her except backtrack as in SSM #32. If that isn't the measure of a character being dry, I don't know what is.

[DACrowe]

I think it is safe to say that MJ has had some good stories in the last 20 years and we're being overly elaborative.

While I disagreed with some of what I read in MadGoblin' way-too-long-for-its-own-good essay, he did make a point I did like. After Pete and Gwen got together she did become a daddy's girl who literally cried in 2/3 of the issues she appeared in after that. Very boring.

And I was calling it revisionist when Loeb wrote the very good Spider-Man: Blue that made the case that Peter loved Gwen more and that Gwen was "MJ's wake-up call" and he preferred being with her pictures on Valentine's Day, blahbblah. When Ever since ASM #150 the case was made that he would not look in the past 'cause he loved MJ. Sure they were on/off again, but in the end they married and I think the DeMathis "The Kiss," did a much better job describing his relationship with Gwen and how it was reflected later with MJ over the course of one issue.

Just my opinion though.

Peter slept with Felicia? When did that happen?

They had an ongoing relationship in the mid 80's. The first issue that suggested them having sex was Spectacular Spider-Man #88. I say suggested, because even though comics were more explicit in the 80's they still didn't show that much. What you see is Peter walking out of Cat's bedroom after seeing her lying in bed, obviously nude.

I think it is safe to say that MJ has had some good stories in the last 20 years and we're being overly elaborative.{quote]

MJ has been part of some god stories. The stories would have have been just as good if she wasn't there. She hasn't generated very many.

[quote]While I disagreed with some of what I read in MadGoblin' way-too-long-for-its-own-good essay, he did make a point I did like. After Pete and Gwen got together she did become a daddy's girl who literally cried in 2/3 of the issues she appeared in after that. Very boring.

But since that isn't true, the boredom issue is a moot point. to be a "daddy's girl" she'd have to make her decision-making subject to the will of her father, which she never did. As for the crying, that's just an exaggeration. Gwen was upset for a very good reason- she was mourning her father's death. She eventually came out of that and didn't contiune with it. And it's extremely ironic that you'd bring this up considering that MJ has had her share of crying spellls as well- AND- at least Gwen cried for a reason. Compare this to Mj becoming a basketcase when SHE- Not Peter admitted knowing his identity. What the HELL was MJ crying for?

And I was calling it revisionist when Loeb wrote the very good Spider-Man: Blue that made the case that Peter loved Gwen more and that Gwen was "MJ's wake-up call" and he preferred being with her pictures on Valentine's Day, blahbblah.

Loeb never once said in that story that Peter loved Gwen more. But like a true MJ fan, Peter loving Gwen at all is enough to make you take it to that level. And considering that Conway DID say Peter loved MJ more, what's the difference? Just like fans, writers have their favorites as well.

When Ever since ASM #150 the case was made that he would not look in the past 'cause he loved MJ. Sure they were on/off again, but in the end they married and I think the DeMathis "The Kiss," did a much better job describing his relationship with Gwen and how it was reflected later with MJ over the course of one issue.

Not in the least. It's comical that immediately after ASM #150, Peter and MJ's relationship denegerated in pettiness, with MJ acting like a total ***** much of the time (Her actions completely betray the retcon of her knowing Peter's secret), and then to near indifference, before they finally broke up.

And while "The Kiss" was sweet, it did nothing to sum up Peter's relationship with Gwen. If anything, it served to remove any meaning from it, the DeMatteis repeatedly and REPEATEDLY has Peter say that things probably weren't as romantic as he remembered; And moreover, like others making Gwen a mere stop-gap on Peter's way to MJ, rather than making their relationship a special thing with a life of its own.

It's ish 381 (Amazing), and it has Hulk punching the left bottom corner, and Spidey jumping out of the way!

I also love that spread with the Charlie Brown reference... Classic. I loved that MJ has that much insight, and that she finds those qualities endearing.

You do you that she already knew that peter was spidey and that why she said they should go to the crime scene to see Rhino in person .

In fact she is the only one to know first that peter is spidey ( Because she saw Parker on the night of his Uncle death change into Spidey in his room)

Same here, loved that part.

Also love when Peter holds his arm out at MJ when Venom and Sandman are beating him down. That was just an amazing moment when Peter and her make eye contact.

[The Caped Knight]

The dance at the end was so moving (i'm 100% certain fourth movie Peter & Mj get married .)

[Kraven]

One of my favorite Pete/MJ moments in the recent SSM annual, was when MJ and Pete are talking about mix tapes, and when MJ pulls a hat with a mistletoe out and Pete is too scared to kiss her.

[Mara Jane]

I don't know if this was mentioned in this thread yet, but there was an issue not long after they were married where MJ wanted to do something naughty for Pete by taking pictures of herself with his camera without him knowing (till he developed the film). It was cute because she didn't see Pete behind her on the wall while she was posing seductively for the camera in her teeny bikini. After a few shots, you see his arms reach down over her head and then you just see her legs hanging down from the ceiling. At first you hear, "Aiiiieeee!!" and then you hear, "mmmmm." :)

[Hobgoblin]

Definitely the Sensational Spider-Man Annual. Thats the most interesting that I've seen the marriage written. Now, I'm all for Pete and MJ being married, but this is the first time that they actually seemed like a couple in a deeply commited relationship, imo.

All of the conversations between Peter and MJ is the Diane Duane novels are excellent. :up:

[Venomfan]

well the first two panels are pretty much the only GREAT moment. but its definatly definatly argueable that that is not the best moment

[Guybrush]

ASM #143 is still the best moment.

My favorite moment :up:

Still remember the first time I read that. Good stuff.

[DACrowe]

Great moment, but I must admit I liked how they redid it in Sensational Annual #1 recently with her saying to egg him on and he doesn't need her to ask it's more of a "Well, I'll show you" kind of Dustin Hoffman-Graduate moment.

I thought that was an added nice touch.

[Captivated]

I LOVED that moment... finally they kissed! :heart:

But, what was with the "acne" comment?! Just when you could slice the sexual tension with a knife... it was just such a LAME attempt at humor, it wasn't funny, it was just stupid. Although I made the decison to ignore it, it still bothers me when I see it. Surely I'm not the only one?

[The Caped Knight]

I love this issue (Marvel Valentine Special 1997) . MJ looks so beautiful even with Glasses on her face . Also The Story is both sweet, Funny & very romantic .

The baby reveal is one of my favorite moments in Peter and MJ's relationship. It's a shame that we probably won't ever get a chance at seeing that moment again due to Joey Q.

Damn I hate the man.

Damn that was a great scene.

One of the best scenes through out the trilogy.

[The Caped Knight]

Agree, but so was this scene

I like this cover of sensational spider-man #40

[The Caped Knight]

^ Nice

[ragingdemon155]

Nice Cover there.

[The Caped Knight]

That scene was cool, but I mean...the kiss was so damn original.

Agreed, I really wished we got the ending from the novel with peter as Spidey web-swinging high up above the skyscrapers of New York with MJ by his side .

Similar to that of Spider-man 3 video game - "Mary Jane : Thrill Ride missions"

that would've been awesome .

[Captivated]

This has probably been posted but what the hell.
http://www.indielondon.co.uk/img/spiderman_kiss2.gif

I'll never forget the first time I saw that... I thought she was going to take off his mask and THAT shocked me! And while I was holding my breath, not knowing WHAT was going to happen next... she kissed him... and it was so incredibly sensuous... whoa...

[DACrowe]

Well I think this image in the trailer got a lot of people to go see it. And it still remains probably the hallmark moment of the series as it is on the back of the DVD sleeve of the first one and what most people reference in spoof or homage to the Spidey movies. That and the line "Go get 'em, Tiger."

You know for a movie where the fans just absolutely hate Dunst (I'm impartial as I prefer comics MJ much moreso but she serves Raimi's vision fine) it is ironic that the two most popular points of reference to non-fans are intimate moments in the first two between Pete and MJ.

Yet we get stupid threads about writing her out or "It's not Mary Jane 3" or my favorite "Send the Red Head to Heaven in 2007."

Funny. Not really.

[ragingdemon155]

You know I thought she played the role perfectly in the first movie. She isn't the typical "comic" book version of MJ, but like you said..she plays the version that Raimi has on screen pretty good. That's pretty much all I can ask for.

I never had a problem with her being MJ though. For the most part I thought the casting for the Spider-man trilogy was spot on

Agreed, I'm going to see if I can get my scaner fixed so I can post the whole issue on here .

[ragingdemon155]

The Sensational Annual was hands down one of the greatest Spider-man one shots ever.

Loved it from start to finish.

[Mara Jane]

Happy 20th Anniversary, Pete & MJ!

Actually, I think its from between ASM 475 and 500. :o

[Spidey_87]

I finally got around to buying the famous wedding issue in ASM annual 21. I've heard good things about this issue, so I think it might be a great Peter/MJ moment. As for my personal favorite, I am still undecided. However, I do love the cover to ASM 515, although it never actually happened in that issue where MJ hands Peter a hot can of soup on his way out to websling. It really makes you think he is a lucky guy with a caring and loving wife.

[TheVileOne]

The MJ/Peter moments like the above are the only things I really liked about Stracynski's Spider-man run.

I can't believe he could do stuff that good, and then on the other hand write absolute trash like Sins Past, which still does this bull**** of Peter still loving Gwen and Mary Jane still believing Peter loves Gwen more than her. I ****ing hate that ****. How many more writers need to pull that crap?

I thought Spider-man: Blue by Loeb and Sale was ok with respects to the idea that it would be Peter's final goodbye to Gwen. It just keeps happening and keeps getting brought up. I'm sick of it and I'm sick of the bridge.

Thing is when I read comics I like it more often when characters are together when they are apart. The romantic tension and the years spent apart where they can't get together just bores me.

Why are writers so intimidated by having a super hero or heroine have a steady relationship or even marriage? I think this thread has proven that MJ and Peter are so much more interesting and attractive together than they are apart.

You got that right Spidey. Peter Parker is one lucky man. :word:

[Spidey_87]

Even though the writing for ASM has declined in recent years, I think the cover to ASM 515 is one of my absolute favorites. I loved Mike Deodato art, and it was very sad to see his brief stint on ASM go.

[The Caped Knight]

Now I'll be the first to tell you I hate the whole Mega Clone Saga storyarc (Minus Ben Reilly / The Scarlet Spider , Who was a great addtion to the cast of Spider-man .) Still they were some great Peter & Mj moments .

This one of those great moments .

Mary Jane Watson-Parker, a pregnant woman with no superpowers, has to defend herself from her beloved husband Peter Parker /Spider-Man who's on a homocidal rampage created by the Jackal in one final attempt to drive Peter Parker totally insane.

For me these two issue's show just how strong a character MJ is. (Peter is really is the luckest Man alive to have such a woman in his life as his wife .)

^ Whoa... that was exciting. :wow:

Some of that art was awful... but great story.

[JJJ's Ulcer]

Uhhh hey, that reminds me...

If Peter's not the clone, how do they explain away the implanted trigger in his mind for him to go nuts once Jackal died? I guess some stories are just best left forgotten. :yay:

Haha yup. The pic where MJ & Peter are laying in bed together & he prays to God for her since she's in his life, I have that in my AOHell profile.:up: It's great.

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

Well, I read all 20 pages.:up::D

[Spidey_87]

I remember the whole "Time Bomb" story where Peter hit MJ. Still makes me glad to see how forgiving she is a character at the conclusion of that story.

To date, that is still one of the worst moments I've ever read in a Spider-man comic. That's right up there with "The Other" and "Sins Past" as far as I'm concerned.

:wow: :csad: Do you have the comic to scan it? I wanna see it...:ninja:

[Spider-ManHero12]

Anybody remember how in Spider-man Unlimited Issue#1 how Peter was going to pick up the pizzas but then had to go stop Carnage and Shreik and then MJ got real worried? Mj also got really worried alot of the times Peter fought Venom as well so those were great MJ moments to:up:.

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

Post more comic panels...I DEMAND IT!!!:mad::cmad: :):heart::meow: :otto:

[spiderfan85]

:wow: :csad: Do you have the comic to scan it? I wanna see it...:ninja:

If someone can tell me the issue that happen in then I could probably upload it. Right now, I'm searching and can't exactly pinpoint the event.

[Mara Jane]

While I don't think it belongs in a "favorite Pete/MJ moments" thread, the offending issue is SSM 226. It was not called "Time Bomb" (TB was the issue posted above where Pete has to kill her), it was the ish where Pete discovers he's a clone.

And yes, this thread needs more scans. How about the Honeymoon issue, since it's now celebrating it's 20th anniversary along with the wedding ish?

Yes I agree. SSM 226 should not be scanned in my thread.

So thats that...I've spoken.

I swear, this thread is getting to my head.:yay: :woot:

But seriously, that was an awful awful moment.

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

Any new comic scans I would enjoy then.:up::)

Can you really get kicked outta a thread & never view it though?:oldrazz:

Probably not, but the threat did sound pretty scary didn't it? :oldrazz:

[Spidey_87]

I think the MJ in "Kraven's Last Hunt" is also a classic. The six-part story shows MJ worrying about Peter, which makes the reader understand just how much she cares and loves her husband. It is also cool how she could tell that Peter was not the Spider-Man in costume during her confrontation with the two thugs while walking home.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Another great MJ moment is in the Symbiote Storyline (if I remember correctly). MJ is telling Peter about her past and about Her parents and Her Sister. truly a great Issue and a great moment!:up:.
