found this link on another board, don't think it was posted in here yet.... whats everyone's opinions on this ???

hopefully it comes down to pete telling mj he's a fugitive and mj telling him she will always be with him but its not looking good for us MJ fans

"While Quesada won’t confirm what the “One More Day” tag refers to, he did reveal that the story will tackle the controversial marriage of Peter Parker and Mary Jane head-on."

god, Quesada is a tool. since when has the marriage been controversial?

 

[SpideyZERO]

I don't like the sound of it. Poor Spider-Man and MJ. You are so ruined

 

[SpideyInATree]

I'm going to make a prediction.

While Spidey is on the run MJ gets hurt badly and ends up in a coma, which leads into the Back In Black story line, *cues AC/DC*

And then we'll have a long run of Pete being angry over MJ being hurt, which will lead into the One More Day story by JMS and Quesada which will have Loki repay Peter back from his promise much earlier in JMS' run. That will basically put the unmasking back in the bottle and take MJ out of a coma...but Pete and MJ won't be married any longer.

ouch....i really hope its aunt may rather than mary jane.....i hated when marvel retconned her death since asm 400 was one of my favorites stories...

 

[SpideyInATree]

Agreed. ASM # 400 was a fantastic send off for Aunt May, and unfortunately it's tarnished forever, but I see MJ getting it rather than Aunt May...but you could be right. Either way it's enough to cause Peter to go "Back in Black"

hopefully the "one more day" will be after back in black where aunt may goes into a coma (again) and the one more day will have doc strange or loki take mj and pete to visit aunt may's soul one last time before she goes "second to the right, and straight on till morning..."

but honestly i think you're idea is correct and mine is more for wishful thinking

 

[bulok]

What's Dr Strange doing in the mix also? What's going on here??! I don't want to get peed before I see anything but touch anymore of Spidey and I am back to Ultimates.

 

[Galactus]

Quesada have also said this:

Oh yeah, and then there’s Spider-Man. We have some fantastic Spider-Man announcements coming soon and I promise you, the amount of chatter that will be spouted on message boards, blogs, emails, what have you, will be unlike anything ever seen before in the comic’s history. Guess what, folks, save time, start writing those cards and letters now! [laughs]

Also, write this down, folks. In August of next year, we’re going to be breaking the Internet in half so hard that Al Gore is going to wake up with an ache somewhere he’s most likely never ached before

He didn't mention the marriage here, but you can always speculate

good call. that actually sounds quite plausible, especially the part about Loki. what bothers me is that it seems very reminiscent of what occurred in The Flash back in '03.

EXACTLY. i hate quesada!!

what's even worse is the headline that reads: JMS and Joe Quesada join forces to change everything you know about Marvel’s greatest hero.

as hal fishman says in the spider-man 3 trailer... this could be the end for spider-man...

While Spidey is on the run MJ gets hurt badly and ends up in a coma, which leads into the Back In Black story line, *cues AC/DC*

I agree, because I can't see Spidey in black while MJ is around. Why? MJ is scared to death of Venom, just remember her reaction the time Peter put the black back on in McFarlane's run (issue 13 I think?). The only way I can see him wearing the black is if MJ is somehow incapacitated or out of the picture. But knowing continuity today, they'll probably have her not even blink when he goes back in black.

Sadly, I agree. Either with Loki or Dr. Strange. They'll put the mask back on AND at the request of Peter, they will make MJ forget all about it.

What's completely lame and unoriginal (as only JMS and Joe Qu can do) is the fact that not only was this already done in the Flash, but it was also done back in the early '90's in an I Dream of Jeanie TV MOVIE. That's right, folks, in order to save Tony Nelson's life, Jeannie made a deal with the head Gin to save him and have his memory ERASED so that he never knew her. And in the end, Jeanie says that they can just start all over again.

****in Marvel. Unoriginal, boring, and determined to sink their flagship title into the ground just to sell a few more books.

Well I am happy about one thing. At least "supposedly" this will be the end of it all meaning that we won't have to wonder about the marriage anymore. Some fans are happy while a majority are scared at the whole idea. Personally I'm a huge fan of the marriage and its a staple in the Spidey universe as far as I'm concerned. Peter and MJ go hand in hand. I'm tired of reading every interview from Joey Q and him constantly saying "Oh the marriage is this and that and Mj is this and that".

For better or for worse...this will be the end of that.

Until another monthly "The world will be changed forever in Spidey's life" story starts up.

I really think that it will be Loki because Quesada said in the article that JMS will be straightening up loose ends from earlier in his run...and that's a pretty big loose end, in my opinion. And also by the time One More Day comes out Thor and all of that will be back into place.

But I actually hope that I'm wrong because that wouldn't be very good. I'm almost going to start agreeing with many of the posters around here that they should just leave the marriage as it is. I'm honestly getting tired of the whole "speculation" of what will happen with MJ, and it's not from here, but from Quesada. He is getting annoying with that.

I think that we're all in agreement that there is definitely going to be a lot of cringing when One More Day hits the stands in the summer of 2007

 

[wolvie2020]

You know, I don't know about this.

JQ has stated that making Peter a divorcee or a widower will only age him WAAAAAAYYYY too much, and that's part of the problem he hates so much about the marriage.

Not only that, he did recently make a joke about Spidey being in black when saying that he's in black because MJ finally buys it. Which also still make a lot of people jump up and down, (actually, even I found that funny.)

Above all of this, Joey Q made the final decision that Peter and MJ will back together as fan demand was so high, as well as the whole aged divorcee thing.

But, above all else, I have no trust in JMS or JQ taking on a Spider-Man story completely to their own accord. I've stated in very long posts before that here are 2 people who refuse to admit defeat when they REALLY don't know how to treat a truly beloved character, and his supporting cast. There are so many people out there who they could give a shot at fixing this, but I don't know, it doesn't seem to happen??

All in all, we can only hope that they get it right. After all this, JMS HAS had some truly fine moments in the 1st year of his run. And he realised the mistake of so blindly folllowing his EIC in the case of Sins Past, so let's just hope, he get's it truly right for the finally, unlike Rising Stars

I ain't going to hold my breath though

I dunno. I just don't get why Joe Q throws such a hissy fit all the time over MJ. Spider-Man has been around for over 44 years. Mary Jane has been a MAIN CHARACTER, not only in Peter's life, but in the supporting cast as well, for 40 YEARS. Gwen Stacy only appeared for the first time 11 months before Mary Jane. Mary Jane has been in more stories and been more involved in Peter's life then Gwen EVER was. Peter and Mary Jane have been a married couple for 20 YEARS now. They have had a BABY together!

I'm sorry, but the only contraversy involving the marraige is the one that Joe Q has managed to create! It's just annoying and insulting that he treats Peter and his world like they're his own set of action figures that he can just make ***** up and retcon this and that, and ignore that and this, and just take what he likes about past events and throw the rest in the garbage. Joe Q is like a bratty child that doesn't get his way. It's like it's HIS way or no way.

Someone needs to just punch him in his fat face and tell him to grow up and act like an EIC of a major comic book company and TAKE CARE of his flagship character... not ***** all over him because it will put another dollar in his pocket and make his PERSONAL dreams of how Spider-Man's world should be a reality. It's disrespectful, immature, and (I predict) will only serve to show future readers what a black spot he has created in Spider-Man's history.

He's not a divorcee or a widower if Loki uses his power to un-do everyone's memory of Peter being Spider-Man. It'll probably end up being that if he's going to do everyone, he's going to do EVERYONE, including MJ and Aunt May. So Pete and MJ have "one more day" to be together before her memory is erased. Afterward, Pete is going to have to either woo her all over again, or is going to just let her go.

While I suppose Loki doing this is a reasonable full-circle, that's a serious handful for him. I don't believe he has the power to alter minds that way. That's like Odin-level power. I mean, Loki for the most part is evil. So if he could thus manipulate minds, he'd use that to his advantage.

Are you using reason to determine why JoeQ and JMS might now do something?

 

[matt50]

i'm hoping jq is just saying some crap to try and sell books...like eeveryone said, they tried to get rid of mj before and the fans hated it....seems to make more sense to get rid of aunt may if at all thats what happens....i'm hoping loki helps find baby may but thats wishful thinking too

Perhaps due to the potential chaos by casting such a spell, a mage of equal power but opposite alignment is required? That would be where Dr. Strange comes in, i'd wager....as a safeguard of sorts against Loki.

I was at the comic shop today, and my retailer said he saw an ad for an up-coming T-Shirt advertised that featured Spidey and Loki standing side by side.....

I thought that was an interesting tidbit.

 

[matt50]

yea the owner of the shop i go thinks that spidey will be separated from mj and/or may for a while until the dust settles while hes on the run
