Because... umm you should read the thread's title for your answer...
Due to recent news involving X, formerly Twitter and its owner, the staff of SuperHeroHype have decided it would be best to no longer allow links on the board. Starting January 31st, users will no longer be able to post direct links to X on this site, however screenshots will still be allowed as long as they follow Hype rules and guidelines.

It is an interesting point. Why not just make Ultimate as the main line to get new readers hooked in with and let Peter continue to grow in the 616 universe.
I'll admit, while I didn't like the whole Jill Stacy thing atleast the supporting cast was light years above what it is now. JMS does suck when it comes to writing Spider-man. He needs to stick to other titles, because he's not a bad writer. But he can't write Spider-man to save his life.Originally posted by Sloth7d
I dunno, personally i liked the whole love triangle thing with Jill Stacy, it was really getting interesting until JMS came and COMPLETELY deleted her from the Marvel universe. I hope she comes back, i would love to see her perspective on the unmasking.
I would agree if ultimates didn't suck so much.It is an interesting point. Why not just make Ultimate as the main line to get new readers hooked in with and let Peter continue to grow in the 616 universe.
Point is....all the thousands of single people who can't mentally tolerate a married Spidey or feel connected to their hero if he is married....they can read Ultimate Spidey where he is young and single and they can start reading that and feel fulfilment.

I'm not one to defend Joe Q (and I'm not going to), but hasn't this discussion gone totally off the rails? The biggest gripe in this whole thread is the speculation that Marvel would have Peter and MJ, a married couple, dating? Where does he say that?...did I miss something?...
Civil War I think was a good idea on paper.
But he pushes some things too hard and his ideas for spidey suck and are the same mistakes as the writers/editors of the '90s when they tried to ditch MJ with the Clone saga and all its aftermath.
I really hope that One More Day is about Baby May so I can laugh hysterically at all the madness that has transpired in this thread.
Maybe we should start talking about how much great stuff JQ has done that makes spidey look good, and stays within character for him.
This thread should say...."JOEY Q IS A GENIOUS".![]()
The thing is, like i said in another post here....I personally don't think JQ is an idiot...and i wouldn't have personally titled a thread that....
For Marvel as a whole, sure he has done some good things.
(I can personally give him some credit)
For Spidey as a whole........uh........no.....IMO.
SPIDEYINATREE: Quesada is daring to be different in a lot of areas and is willing to take the character to new places in order to bring that readership to the title.
This is what should happen after One More Day:
1. Dr. Strange or Loki will mindwipe the whole world including Stark that Peter unmasked as Spider-Man. Spider-Man without a secret identity takes away too many of what makes a Spidey comic book great and fun. It would be great if Peter and Dr. Strange or Loki is the one who knows about this. Because if Peter still remebers his unmasking, It will be a great reminder for him to keep his identity secret forever. If Peter won't remember that he once unmasked, he could get into the trouble of unmasking again.
2. MJ will still know Peter is Spidey, Pete is still her husband, but what she will forget is the unmasking and all the stuff that happened after the unmasking. Too many fans will be angered if they bring down the marriage, even if Joe Q. does not like this, i believe that the people in Marvel have convinced him that great Spidey stories can still be told whether Peter is married or not. I believe Joe Q is just misleading us.
3. The classic Spidey status quo will return: Peter as a photographer in daily bugle with a supporting cast of Jameson, Robertson, Betty (now a reporter), and maybe Urich, and i hope they add the Huffman character from the movies. Peter's love life will now be about taking care of his marriage while being a superhero. I really like Aunt May knowing Spidey is Pete, so I hope that stays too. I would like an emphasis of Spidey not being a registered hero. Peter as a teacher is also a concept I'd like to retain, but I want a supporting cast here of Flash Thompson as a coach, the principal, and other members of the faculty who will either mess or befriend Peter.
4. After Dr. Strange or Loki's mindwiping, the pieces of crap known as magic and mystical stuff will forever disappear from the Spidey books.
5. New and old villains baby.
6. The Other, Sins Past will also be forgotten now.
7. Only 2 Spidey books will be left: Dan Slott and Wieringo on Amazing, Matt Fraction and on Spectacular. If there will be a 3rd book, better be Friendly Neighborhood with Jeff Parker.
Nuff' said.
I was going to say that Bob Harris was the EIC when MANY of the things that went bad with Spidey were decided... so to his credit, it was probably a difficult thing for JQ to do as the new EIC in 2000 to turn things around sales-wise for Marvel.
