Oh, yes, I know about the brought back thing and all that, I was just confused on how many times she was ressurected, because quite frankly, I had forgotten.
Pardon the play on words, but your "sewage" addition is a pretty crappy take on my analogy-- unless you want to compare Peter and MJ's marriage to sewage. So, let's pick something more pleasant...
Let's say your neighbor had a lovely apple tree in his yard that you liked to look at-- and you had fond memories of (maybe you carved you and your first love's names into it). But your neighbor cut it down for what he thought was a good reason. Maybe it was blocking the sunlight from getting into his front parlor? Whatever.
He cuts down the tree. It starts a feud. He moves away. And when the new neighbors show up, you keep complaining to them, "Hey, why did YOU cut down that apple tree?!" And it goes on for a YEAR AND A HALF!
And when they put out new patio furniture, you complain to them, "You could have done that WITHOUT chopping down that apple tree!" And when the new neighbors put nice decorations in their parlor window, you still complain, "You could have trimmed a branch or two and I STILL could have seen that! Why did you chop down that tree?!"
And when the new neighbors find that SAME apple tree and plant it in a different part of their yard, you complain, "NO! You have to put it back EXACTLY where it was! It's in a different relation to the house now! I don't like that at all! Unless it's blocking your parlor window I will NEVER be satisfied! NEVER!"
And then you proudly paint a motto on the sidewalk in front of your house that reads, "Proudly holding a grudge against my next door neighbor since the apple tree got cut down."
It's akin to that.
Oh, yes, I know about the brought back thing and all that, I was just confused on how many times she was ressurected, because quite frankly, I had forgotten.
Also, yes, isse 400 was VERY touching and I was in slight tears by it, quite fankly. "it's my time."
So sad.
It's, without a doubt, one of the greatest issues of the 90's. Now, even though I really have no problem with Aunt May being alive now, I do think, as you said, that issue 400 was a fitting end for her.
Yeah, but Aunt May can't die because that would mean that time has moved forward between Amazing Spider-Man 1 and Amazing Spider-Man 400... and frankly, we just can't have that... it's unrelatable.
Honestly, Amazing Spider-Man 400 is probably my favorite Spider-Man issue ever. I love Aunt May and I love the Clone Saga, and that issue was such a fitting end for her. I remember being upset that she was dying but then after reading it I was so impressed and touched that I instantly fell in love with her fate. Absolutely beautiful. Due to financial problems I wasn't reading when she came back but I was so upset when she did. I still haven't read the issue that explained it. I had a hard time enjoying the early parts of Straczynski's run, which was when I could afford to jump back in and start getting back issues as well. But after a while I accepted it and moved on. I guess that's another thing I hated about OMD is that I felt like she was being removed again like she should have a long while ago, and yet again she's saved but, but this time at an unexceptable price.
JMs's run with JRJR, as I've said maultiple times, was really good for a while, if you ask me, but it's ironic how when Romita Jr. left, the stories whent pretty downhill. Also, as I said, Back In Black was pretty good. I mean, that fight Peter had with Kingpin still stands as being brutal. Still, though, the best stories that have come around in recent years is BND-to present day with ASM which I've mentioned maultiple times. Like I've said, Slott and McNiven broughtt great stuff to this new....well, brought back the great Spidey that we knew, and then maultiple writers and artists came in and just kept doing really good stories. Gale, Guggenheim, etc.
Technically the original owner of the tree still lives at the house, he's just got some visitors living with him for the time being. Also, we have been giving that man money to continue the growth of that tree for years and years to the point to where it's like it's partly ours, and when he cuts it down he throws out all that money and love we put into that tree just so he and his new visitors can see a little sun... walking all over the trust and friendship that us, his faithful neighbors for years, had developed with him. Not only is this selfish neighbor disrespecting the faithful neighbors who supported the growing of his tree, but now he's making excuses telling us that it was blocking the phone lines running accross his back yard and that if we look closely, the tree is still there and that nothing's changed. Of course, anyone with a rational thought can see that there are no phone lines and that the tree is indeed gone.
And I also don't understand how that man and his guests can get frustrated when after 50 days we can still see that the tree is missing and the yard is a much uglier place, regressed to just a boring yard like it was back in the 80's. Even with all the new patio furniture (that looks oddly like the same patio furniture that decorated the yard back in the 80's as well).
I suppose we'll just have to wait until the man and his guests all leave the once great house and for a new guest to move in who can plant a new tree and make the yard beautiful again. Hopefully it will be soon.
Well, you mean in terms of Sins Past, etc, correct? I mean, they did write him into a hole that really was hard to dig out of, but honestly, they did. It took them a while, but they did. As i said, BND surprised me so much. The marriage was great, but aas I said about a year ago, both single and not single Peter are great.
