Yeh....and maybe Maximum Clonage was REALLY Maximum Skrullage!!??

:whatever:
 
Ahh..you beat me to it farmernudie.

I personally don't think that the stories told back in the 60's to maybe even part of the 80's were considered 'event' comics. They were surprising and fairly good, entertaining stories (maybe the lack of the interweb and previews helped).

Sadly, I think the use of and return of Norman has become a gimmick himself. Before his resurrection, it was always about the legacy of the Goblin, but now that Norman is back, there really is no more legacy because he is it.

As far as moving characters forward, it's a double edge sword here. A married Spidey could be considered moving the character forward (though nothing has really been said or explored about marriage to a superhero much)...but I guess if we really want a divorced or widowed Spidey, that would be moving him forward too...
 
And that would mean that Baby May will grow up to be...a Spider-Skrull :eek:
 
While it is true we have the internet these days.....JQ, or whomever at the head of MArvel or any comic company COULD play it close to the vest.

He doesn't need to say so many controversial things...and let himself be quoted all over the kingdom to be posted everywhere.

Just put out good comics....maybe a little less talk and better quality COULD bring back the good ol' days!?
 
I love this quote from this week's New Joe Fridays...

Mike Carlin did this with the Superman titles many years ago. While he kept the title names separate, it was one large story. Amazing will do the same, but solely under the Amazing Spider-Man banner and now once again tell the single story of the life of Peter Parker, while we will have story arcs, there will be a continual line of connectivity that will tie it alI together and there will be some huge story arcs within the smaller stories that may take a year or more to resolve.

In simpler terms we’re going back to the continuous soap opera that use to make Spider-Man great and fans of Spidey will know that Amazing will be the place to get that story.

:word: :word: :word:

:yay:

Me to. Those Comics with MJ with red hair were really good. The 1960'S, 1970's, 1980's, and some of the 1990's were when the Comics were amazing. MJ was really fun and like to party in the 1960's and 1970's Spidey Comics which I thought was great.




JQ is not like the other writers over the years. Stan Lee was a god at writing the Spidey Comics! When Gwen died, it was such a Classic Storyline and is defenitley the most tragic thing that happened in the Marvel Universe IMO. The writers now a days, don't do such big and great and awesome Storylines as the Writers did in the Spidey Comics over the years. Mary Jane and Peter love eachother. If they divorced then thats not a good thing to do. Them being married is the right thing to keep doing. Alot of Spidey Fans (including myself) have never had a problem with Peter and MJ being Married. If it aint broken, don't fix it.

Now thats awesome!!! I'm glad they are going back to the soap opera which use to make Spider-man great!!:up:

Oh I see. Peter being single still does bother Me though. I mean, sure the Character has to move forward but why divorce MJ? A while back Peter was single but now that He has married MJ, then it might be different because Him and MJ might be divorcing. I guess we will just wait and see. I'm excited but at the same time...a little worried. Peter and MJ's marriage mean alot to me. The soap opera which made Spider-man great I'm excited about, but Peter and MJ divorcing I'm not excited about. It will ruin the whole story if they get divorced. But I guess my final judgment will be placed when this Storyline comes out. I will think about it.
 
As I've mentioned MANY times since this debate has started, they won't get divorsed nor will they kill Mary Jane.

Somehow, she'll forget who he is (as Spider-Man), and like in the movies, Peter Paker will stay away from her to protect her from his enemies, despite the fact that he loves he more than life itself. And yet again, the Spectre of Spider-Man will keep Peter away from the woman he loves. They will go that route because that's the route that Spidey fans have eaten up since 1962... and it's the only one that will make sense.

Just my two cents...

:yay:
 
They need to stay married. It'd just be taking a big step backwards, tossing the past 20 years or so of the spider-marraige into the garbage can
 
Um...if MJ forgets she is married...and Pete just stays away in the shadows and does nothing to help remind her they're husband and wife....that would make Pete look like a real dope.

Not exactly... he's purposely staying away from her and will avoid helping her "remember" their marriage because he's scared that some enemy will harm/kill her... which being the martyr is what Peter Parker has always done.

Remember back in the 60's, when Peter was going to tell Betty everything about his dual life, then she was mad at Spider-Man for the death of her brother, so Peter stayed away from her, as the Spectre of Spider-Man kept Peter away from the first woman he ever loved. And once Captain Stacy was killed from a battle between Spidey & Doc Ock, it created a huge block from Peter ever telling Gwen his identity, and once again, the Spectre of Spider-Man keeps Peter away from the woman he loves.

Peter Parker has always been about sacrifice, and to put others before himself.

In order to protect MJ, the woman he loves, he'll stay away to keep her "safe". That doesn't make him look like a dope... it's what makes Peter Parker Spider-Man.

Very true. But still, MJ shouldn't forget She's married to Peter. Remember when Peter use to go fight Venom and MJ was scared that Peter was going to get killed? such as in ASM Issue #347 when MJ was worried that Peter was going to get killed on that Island by Venom. We love those moments because it shows how much they love each other. MJ cried when She saw Peter with cracked ribs, etc. in Maximum Carnage part 3 in ASM Issue# 378. But first they talked an stuff. Those are only some of the reasons I don't want MJ to forget Peter is married to Her.

How is MJ "forgetting" going to keep her safe?! Seems like just the opposite. She needs to be on her guard and know why, because the freakin' villains won't forget.

And if somehow Peter gains the POWER to make her and EVERYONE on the entire plant forget just who MJ is to Peter (because THAT is what we'd be talking about with this senerio), then why doesn't he just make everyone forget who the heck HE is!? :huh: THAT would be the best way to keep her safe.
 
Damn, I'm hoping Marvel doesn't go down that road. Having MJ forget who Peter is and so on....however, the more I think about it, the more it seems like the only possibility to go down. There isn't any other logical route to take when you look at everything that Joey Q has said regarding his feelings on the marriage.

Also, having Peter just lay down and give MJ up even if by some chance she did "forget" about his identity and so on......wouldn't seem like the Parker that we all know. IMO it would be more out of character to see him distance himself then to try to get her back.

I totally see what you're saying...but what i mean tho, is logically and realistically....if you (or PETER) were married to someone for 20 some YEARS....or whatever...doesn't matter...

And your wife suddenly got mindwiped...wouldn't you or ANYONE in the world naturally/realistically do ANYTHING to help your significant other REMEMBER you and your marriage??!!!!

Wouldn't a person DO ANYTHING to help them (the one you LOVE) out to get back to where they WERE before.......W

Who would basically stalk/protect their wife from the shadows naturally in real life?....and NOT attempt to HELP them if they got amnesia someway and didn't remember being married.

If you love someone...you'd do ANYTHING, that is my point...so while i understand what you're saying about Pete....if MJ is mindwiped and Pete decides to just wallow in it and protect her from afar....i am just saying that makes him look like a DOPE (IMO) kind of....when he could BE WITH HER and STILL PROTECT HER...

I would think that the point is he CAN'T protect her, thus why he'd resort to something as terrible as her mind being wiped. I would even think that he'd want his own mind wiped as well, so that he didn't have to deal with the pain of losing her.

Granted, this is a silly way of resolving things, but putting it into prespective, I think that's the logic.
