Closure on the Spidey Marriage

[DACMAN]

So.

So.... it's getting repetitive and predictable. Not to mention annoying.

The only way to make it different is if someone kills Mary Jane and Peter is there to hold her dead body, and we see her get barried.
Even then it can be retconned, but this way will at least show that she is suppossed to be officially dead and not presumed dead like before.

But wouldn't it be cool, everyone thinks she is going to be killed off and the marriage ended, what if Marvel officially solidifies their marriage.
Strengthens it, has them get remarried. Renew their vows or something.

That would be unexpected.

 

[Tropico]

People are assuming that it's going to be that they separate them. What Joe Q says in the interview is that their relationship is going to be defined with no room for doubt, be it separation or solid marriage. So, no, it wouldn't be unexpected since in their own words that IS a possibility.

 

[Artistsean]

So no matter what they do, because of the two choices they gave, some people will be expecting whatever happens.
Its seems like the majority of people expects Marvel's announcment means Marvel is ending their marriage. Especially since Joe Q has come out and said he doesn't like them being maried. So it would be unexpected to have their marriage become stronger than ever.
Plus with his identity known by the public now, the renewall wedding of Peter and MJ can become like Reed and Sue's super hero star studded event.

But now that I have said that it won't happen that way.

MJ and Peter 4 life!

I miss Macfarlene. And Claremont. Hell, even Stan with his outdated ideas should be writing. Most of the stuff they wrote was at least interesting in comparison to most writer's (Miller's good, but he kinda' get's stuck on ideas and never let's go). Those were interesting times. I honestly feel that alot of Marvel's stuff now is crap because the editors have let the oddest crap slip through.

Should MJ die? no. Should Gwen be alive? no. Are writer's worth crap and not doing anything good? Yes. I think Pete should have a kid. A kid named Ben Reilly Parker, or Richard Benjamin Parker, or a daughter (can't think of good names related to spidey characters here). Someone's already mentioned this, and they are completely right. Petey is too close to being father figure in character now to turn him back into a bachelor. It's also a good way to make sure continuity sticks. Other superhero kids (Franklin and Valeria Richards) then have to age proportionally to the little parker kid instead of jumping between all sorts of ages for god knows what reason. The totem BS should be dropped. I think if they wanted to shock us really bad, they'd kill Aunt May, or put her into a terminal coma, so she's there as inspiration, but as a potential character. It would be a good "Casualties of War" kind of thing.

Marvel needs to go backwards to fix it's mistakes though, and if they've got the right idea, they are applying it to the wrong area. For sure.

Spider-man stories are the most bloody awful garbage I've read in a long time. I mean the last year or so in particular. All Stracynski ever did with Spidey is change him in bizarre ways. Some of them are really lame. Why the hell did he need a costume with legs again? I really couldn't call the Civil War stuff much of a story at all. He's basically 'am I doing the right thing' or 'no I'm not, now I'm going to!' while they're only two other characters in the book. The worst thing is that they wasted the unmasking, you can't redo it. The hype is gone.

JMS should go write some pretentious comics over at image again. And no, JMS, Heroes was NOT your idea. Quesada shouldn't be allowed to decide what to do with Spider-man, he has no clue. He keeps going off about how Gwen Stacy and Harry Osborn were dead and that's what ruined the book. He was going to get Spider-man back to his roots. Yeah right. Marvel really sunk to a new low this year. It used to be about the stories, not some weak ideas about changing everything every month.

The greatest super hero wife/love interest and Marvel might kill her. Fricken pisses me off.

Well you could say the same thing about them being married. There relationship has been very predictable.

 

[Xofenroht]

They find their baby.

Word.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Quesada is the worst thing to happen to Marvel and especially Spiderman. Never I have seen a character get attacked as much as him. If they get rid of the best supporting character probably in comics today, then Quesada really doesn't have a clue and he is living proof that his ego is even bigger than the planet Ego or even the biggest ego in Marvel Universe, Doctor Doom.

He doesn't want the baby around (I never have forgiven him for that), he wants MJ gone in some format or another, all this organic/mystical spider garbage, etc....I swear I never thought the Clone Saga would look so appealing...at least we were getting interesting new characters (Traveller, Scrier, Kaine, Reborn Jackal, Spidercide), we had a baby on the way, Osborn was being very sinister (i.e. taking over the Bugle)...there were some dark spots in that time but nothing compared to this insanity.

I wouldn't say that Quesada is the worst thing for Marvel. He's just a guy who needs to step down now because his tenure is getting really stale. However, I do agree with you that Quesada is one of the worst things to have happen to Spider-Man.

**** eversince Joe Q has become EIC, I have been obsessed with Marvel, he has done some stupid ****, but for the most part I have enjoyed having him as EIC.

Yes Darth we already know I have bad taste.

 

[The Leaguer]

At least you can admit it.

Pffft. Theyre not even the greatest couple at Marvel, let alone ever. Reed and Sue FTW!

That's such a great image.

Thanks. He thought he took away my pwning ability by adding that extra comment. ASSHAT always finds a way.

 

[The Leaguer]

I'll never understand why people think pwning themselves before we can pwn them takes the satisfaction from us. Nothing feels as good as someone realizing when they need a good pwning.

There is no news other than my news.

Sure you can, if you really couldn't, you'd drive yourself crazy and kill yourself, which i highly recommend anyway.

What would the world be like without EROS? Do you really want to live in a world without Eros[me]? Who will fight the good fight, who will fight Apollo Creed till the last bell? Who will save earth from alien invaders? Who will watch the watchmen? Who will do all these things Darthphere? Eros [myself] is like water, you cannot survive without water and Eros.

Utopia.

Who will fight the good fight, who will fight Apollo Creed till the last bell?

Apollo Creed is dead.

Who will save earth from alien invaders? Who will watch the watchmen?

Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum, Tommy Lee Jones etc.

The Watchmen are dead.

Who will do all these things Darthphere? Eros [myself] is like water, you cannot survive without water and Eros.

We'll live.

Your in Denial Darthphere, you need me, the Hype needs an Eros. Im the guy that keeps this place together. If I killed myself, it would be like Zach Braff leaving Scrubs or something.
