Comics Brace Thyselves.

The thing is, frankly...is that even if they just "tragically mindwipe MJ" and absolve the marriage that way...it still is a step backward that will surely get retconned again in the near future. Thus, we create an endless loop of redundancy.

Joey Q has stated that it will "finally completely resolve the marriage controversy" and I don't see how it can do that without DEATH TO THE MARRIAGE.

Although, that too will be retconned in a year or so in the next big "Spidey Event". (maybe we should stop writing events and just write good stories????) Oops...dumb thought.

Anyway...I'm back on track.

So, I am looking forward to them ending this marriage which has been nothing but an ugly scar on the Spidey Universe. In fact, I hope they mindwipe all marriages in the marvel universe. Kill them all!

The Marraige Controversy is probably not only to blame for Spidey's recent woes, but also for the entire Marvel Universe Line!! Superhero or not...whack 'em! No marriages please..too controversial!!

Kill 'em all! Whip out some major mindwipage Loki!

Why stop at MJ!?!? Heck...off Sue Richards too...Fantastic Four hasn't been as good as the 80's issues lately either.

I mean, look at how they killed Aunt May's hubby and it has only made her stronger and it made Spidey the man he is today.

Down with marriage. It is too unbelievable anyways.

Well...gotta go. my wife's calling...

 

[shinlyle]

You just don't get it. And I'm too tired because we'll be going back and forth on this. I think it makes MJ look pathetic for still being hung up over a suit, you don't. She got over being kidnapped and stalked, move on already.

DUDE...that's also the costume that Kraven wore after he BURIED Peter alive. Remember that little thing? Also, Venom is a well-known murderer who stalked and kidnapped MJ. No offense, but it you told a real-life kidnapping victim to just "get over it", you'd probably be hounded for life, I think it's more realistic that MJ CAN'T get over it....it makes her seem more realistic. It brings us the perspective of someone who doesn't have to deal with this everday suddenly being forced to deal with it, and it scarred her for life.

Now, that being said...

Venom is now going to be a member of the Thunderbolts, which will be publicly known as a means of enforcement for the Superhuman Registration Act. Now, If Peter were to go back to wearing his Black Costume, the average person on the street may think he is Venom, a registered government enforcer who is out there to protect them, and not Spider-Man, the rogue vigilante who defected to Captain America's underground resistance. Should this be the case, then the switching back to the black Costume would make SOME sense.

THANK YOU. I mean seriously, why would Peter even want to RISK upsetting his wife during a time like this by suddenly digging-out the black costume? "I'm going to give you ONE MORE DAY to get over this costume, or it's over between us!" It would just make him look like a jerk.

Ah... now, that might very well be a possibility. I hope the writers come-up with something somewhat plausible like that instead of just conveniently forgetting that MJ is not hot on that look, and Peter just decides to pull out the black costume simply to mourn or go fight sewer dwellers in McFarlane-ville... ick.

 

[MyDixieWrecked]

What if Venom escapes the battle at the end of Civil War 7. I mean he was on the front line staring somebody down but he's a sly little fox. He could easily find some way to escape. Hopefully the symbiote will escape from the damn Scorpion and go back to someone else we all know and love

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Hypno-Hustler?

 

[Kraven]

i think if they replaced the page with this.. it would make a lot of us fans real happy t:

If you made that, you should be happy to know they used it on this weeks Joe Friday's.

 

[Miss Webb]

No, no, no.


Here's what's gonna happen. The killer stands on a rooftop nearby to aim for the shot. Suddenly, a pigeon flies into his line of sight and pecks him on the head! (This pigeon is sent by the floating head of Loki, locked in some nameless dimension. After all, he owes Peter.)The would be assassin loses his balance swinging at the pigeon and falls to his death. The gun goes off by mistake. MJ and May hear it and dive for the floor. Later Peter moves his family again, wondering how fate has given him another chance to pop Tony in the 'nads.

[SpideyInATree]

Well, that certainly makes things very interesting. So whoever gets the bang/bang is going to be out of commission for a while because the One More Day story isn't until summertime.

hahaha i just saw it on there.

 

[Captivated]

In this weeks Joe Friday he also treated us to a "song" he wrote... "Two Weeks Late for Christmas." I think it was supposed to be funny... but I wasn't laughing as this verse got my attention:

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Woke up at Marvel, ‘round the end of September
I’m a mad edit bomb. Blow up the drawing and WRITIN'.
Then I chew up Thunder and I spit out THOR’S LIGHTININ!
I’m the new Spidey-Man… so if you liked it BACK THEN.
In month number one: GOODBYE M.J AND HELLO ***

http://www.newsarama.com/NewJoeFridays/NewJoeFridays29.html

[/FONT]I just don't know what to say to that... I'm thinking it's a joke, as he does have a lot of disdain for fans and loves to make fun of them... [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/FONT]

 

[J. J. Jameson]

See...I'm getting kind of tired of Aunt May, MJ, and that scum Tony Stark being the only people in Peter's life. But that doesn't mean I want them to die.



Actually. I don't give a rip about Iron Man. Have your fun with him, Quesada.

 

[MaxCarnage]

I'm bored. So sue me.

My name is Joe and I've somethin' to say,
I feel inferior in ev-er-y way.
In this big-bad world I must leave my mark,
The ones who came before me were merely a lark.

So I'll create drama where none was before,
Don't care who goes down, to me fans are a bore.
Whinin' and cryin' 'bout stuff they don't know,
The world must be ROCKED, it's how good characters grow!

Tony Stark was a loser, and boring to read,
Now he's a bad guy, and along with him Reed.
Divorce is a nice little novelty too,
So I'll quickly split Mr. Fantastic and Sue!

Captain America's just not rebellious enough,
I want to show kids that this badass is tough!
So I'll create a frenzy that will rock the world,
Marvel will never be the same once my plan has unfurled!

Thing's run away, to the North I believe,
And frankly his absence is a writer's relief!
Heroes and villains are all switching roles,
The government let Norman out on parole!

And now for the best part of my master plan,
Changing that boring old married Spider-Man.
I'll kill off his wife with a feeling of glee,
All men are better off; in mourning, but FREE!

I may kill that Aunt May too just for fun,
And then send Peter off on the run.
He'll be "Back in Black" cuz the movie comes soon,
We want our subscription sales to shoot to the moon!

And so on this world I'll have left my mark,
No one will ever forget this cool shark.
And though it all amounts to de nada,
Those fans will all rue the man named Quesada!

 

[shinlyle]

My thing is, we've all SEEN what happens when there is no MJ. The books are depressing, Peter's miserable, and she will be brought back when the sales begin to rapidly drop out of sight (remember the Mackie days, anyone?). Paul Jenkins was the only reason I was reading 616 Spidey at ALL back then, much like Aguire-Sacasa is the only reason I'm reading 616 Spidey now.

I just don't understand his meely-mouth obsession with making Spidey the exact same character he was 20 years ago. I have a better idea...why not up the rate at which you produce the Essential Spider-Man volumes, and give us up through issue #300 of ASM, and we'll all just buy those and totally ignore the new comics? How's that sound? No? How about we all just hunt down back issues while your sales begin to plummet, then? Sounds great to me.

I would hate reading ASM without MJ in it. The marriage is something I grew up on and it just wouldn't seem right without it. Honestly, the only person I've really heard complain consistently about the marriage is Joey Q. He seems so fixated on MJ as the problem. I'm glad that this whole "Will MJ die or live" kind of mentallity that we all have is going to be over soon. At least that's what Joey Q says......

 

[SLYspyder]

MJ shot, she's in a coma until S-M 3 hits theaters.

Takes her out, puts him in the black costume. Easy enough.

Seriously, MJ should get over the black costume issue for one reason: It symbolizes Pete's one villain who has really gone from being high threat to total joke. >_<

I don't know, it just seems ridiculous. They have to shake up the "controversial" marriage? Someone said earlier why can't we let a comic move on and grow and accept that people break up, etc? Here's the answer:

Not every marriage falls apart.

Seriously, the unexpected pregnancies and transmission of diseases should probably be rampant through the superhero community as often as characters are written together, often shown in bed or suggesting they've bedded one another (Okay, so the healing factor gets Wolvie off the disease hook, but he's only got one kid thus far we know of).

Sue and Reed are a shining example of the writers working a marriage as having some shaky areas, really rough rocky patches, but still staying together.

Why are Pete and MJ different? Why do we have to divorce them or split them for the sake of moving backwards? This isn't a progression of Spider-Man, it's an attempt to return him to being a "single college range guy" that the 18-25 male market will "relate" to.

We should have seen MJ grown over the years, taking a martial art for self defense, learning to use a gun with great accuracy (which allows you incapacitating shots w/o lethality for story use) and becoming a stronger character that can take care of herself without Pete being the worrisome "will I get her killed" character.

Hell, at this point, have the blasted alien symbiote bond to her so it can still be close to Pete and she can take care of herself.

With all this "put your loved one in danger" we're being dragged through, Pete shoulda gotten hitched to Felicia and been done with the problem.

Then again, maybe we're jumping the gun. Maybe, just maybe, the One More Day series will surprise us and cement MJ and Peter as a happily married couple determined to get through anything together, no matter what it is.

great post

Latest CW plotline, out in February!

The killer tries to fire, but his gun won't go off. Cursing in frustration, he tries cleaning the barrel. It still won't shoot. The would be assassin angrily tosses the useless rifle over the side of the building. However, it accidentally hits someone on the street. This someone happens to be a war vet with hairy arms, tatoos and attitude. He gets some friends, they run up to the roof and corner the assassin before he can get away. Bringing the useless rifle with them, the angry mob holds the killer down and beats him to death with his own weapon. The police have no clues, and neither do the editors at Marvel. Meanwhile, as a setup for the cover of CW #7, The REAL Thor appears (deux a machina) in a godblast of energy, turning the entire landscape black and white. Fighting superheroes and villians are suspended in their tracks. The glowing (and pissed off) Thor demands an explanation. He then decides to set up an 'arena of death' encircling Tony Stark and Cap in an energy web. Telling them to settle things, Thor stands by impassively as the two ex friends battle in the 'ring' for supremacy of the superhumans! But to insure no interference, he fries Clor, leaving nothing but a helmet on the ground.

Bring posters, root for your guy! And remember, keep the nonsense flowing as we stumble to conclusion!

When this happens I'm done with Spidey comics. Not because I'm boycotting, but because they've ruined what Stan Lee and Steve Ditko created. A boy growing into an everyman and continually progressing through life. I don't want to see a single Peter still working for the Bugle and going on dates. He'll have become static and boring and essientially no longer in the mold of its creators.

Thus I'm done.

[chris moore]

You know what I dont really get - Kingpin knew Daredevil's identity for years and never had Foggy or Karen gunned down. He sold the info to Mysterio cos he needed money, who had Karen killed by Bullseye. Yet five minutes after Spider-Man reveals his (and it wasnt even him who put Fisk in jail this time), he's first on the kingping killing billing.

Roni - bullet, trigger and kill order may mean that MJ or May was shot, but not killed and the bullet instead paralysed them. May fully wheelchair bound would be enough to put him in black and have a mad on cos she's been through so much in her life but always gotten stronger in spite of it.

 

[Hades]

Lawl.

Imagine AUnt May being shot in the head.

Grim

 

[SpideyInATree]

Anybody being shot in the head and then having pieces of their skull and brain splatter against the wall is pretty grim.
