But you're wrong. I'm all for the belief that everybody is equal and their opinions deserve the same merit. But in this instance you are simply wrong. Spidey is soap opera, that is what his book is about, that's what sets him apart. Saying you like Spidey but not the soap opera is saying I like Star Trek but not the sci-fic in it, I like the West Wing but not the polictics, The Spranos but not the mafia aspect.
If you want a superhero book without the soap oprea, read a different book.
Maybe I should have been more clear...

by annoying soap opera elements, I just meant that they are only retreading ground. There fore its become boring and irrelevant. (for me at least i'm not trying to dictate my thoughts on anyone as some posters used to think about me.)
Black Cat was pretty much when the well dried up on potential girlfriends for Peter Parker. he's gone from older mature girl to party girl to smart science girl to crazy girl to superhero/bad girl.
for 20 years Mj has been the ultimate love interest for Peter.
The two have been married.
Mj and Peter (regardless of the kitty pride thing) still date in ultimate spidey.
Mj is the only girl he loves within the movies.
So in a sense i feel that since they were trying to write themselves out of a supposed "box" that they have put themselves in. In doing so, they've put themselves in another incredibly stupid one seeing that All girls in comparison will fail to compare to MJ.
What I'm trying to get is why are you telling me my opinion is wrong??!

You have some fans that think gwen should have never died. Some that think Peter should have never left high school....are they wrong? no its just there opinion. there is no definite way to tell a spidey story...the only way to tell one is to have good writing and a direction that works.
but if you were wondering.
I honestly don't get why some fans still buy marvel's reasoning though....
The stories don't even work the same as they used to when compared to current day....I don't get how some fans believe that (specifically) during the Kraven's last hunt arc, how that story could ever still be told the same with a couple just moving in together rather than newly weds. theres so much more at stake because you just got ready to spend the rest of your life with this person....your commited enough to get a ball and chain attached.
If you just move in with a chick you can walk out at anytime and its not necessarily wrong. (although there is guilt.)
but eh I'm not going around telling people there wrong. I voice my opinion loud and clear and than I shut up. lol.
