Blader: I love how you guys have already drawn your conclusions...and based them on NOTHING, I might add.
...i am glad you are able to ignore all the news tidbits that have leaked out over the past couple years and be so happy about this all...and able to ignore the threads here that contained the info where this is going. Ignored everything JQ has said. The BND write-ups/advertisements.
The JMS interviews. etc....
This is not going anywhere GOOD at all....and up to part 3 has NOT GONE ANYWHERE GOOD AT ALL. It is only getting lamer and more obvious how this is all a hack job.....
FORCING THE CHARACTERS ALL TO POINT B.
None of the characters in this "story", if you're bold enough to call it that...are respected, nor written to make sense or based on anythingin continuity or "how they'd act". Even Mephisto, the villian, pops up outta the blue like an overly lame anti-marriage fairy, (with no imagination)instead of the powerful diabolical villian he is. All this is about, is to get to point B.....single hip PEte and single crime fighting barbie (...er, i mean MJ)...who clings to buses and >bam pow biffs!< evil doers in her new Las VEgas Green crimefighting uniform. All this so single little kids (and adults) can better relate to Spidey comics???
If marvel REALLY wanted people to relate to the comics better...they would have NOT implemented spider claws and magical totem poles.
The thing is, JQ HAS SAID that all these stories were leading up and PLANNED to lead up to this Maximum Marriage arc....which is kinda admitting they wrote crap on purpose because they are then making it look like the only hope it to press the magic RESET button.
ANd OMD is the foundation of better story telling to come? If One More Delay is the foundation for Brand New Delay, having the foundation be forced cheese is NOT a good sign.
The fans here have talked about stuff that has come out of sources and interviews at marvel and JQ....as well as thwe THREE issues that HAVE come out so far...and most of the fans are thus ticked off for GOOD reason.
Spidey is my favorite character i've grown up with, so it is insulting when they slap us fans int he face with such forced garbage with no sense to it, except to further an agenda. Which is what this IS...CLEARLY.
Heck...JMS doesn't even want his name associated with it...!!!!
If you think, or anyone, that it is great storytelling and you're enjoying it...well that is fine too, i suppose. I am glad Marvel is finding some sort of audience for this kind of "story".
It has been clear for those that don't like it, on this thread and others, WHY they don't like it. (with examples and etc...)
but for those that support this "story", I would like to know WHY they LIKE IT...what makes it GOOD in your/their eyes????
What have YOU come to the conclusion to on this OMD so far and based it on? Respectfully, I'd really like to know why someone would/does like this "story". Even if you are gung-ho for no marriage in comics, i think most people can admit the way they are doing it here is CHEESY and LAME,...imo.
I can admit, i am FOR the marriage, and there are other more dramatic, WELL-WRITTEN, thought out ways...they COULD have done it. I can admit i wouldn't have been happy still about the marriage break-up specifically, but would've been able to at least admit that a well written story was still well done.
Again, what DOESN'T make OMD one of the lamest cheesiest stories you've ever read??
Aunt may was shot with a BULLET....there are eons of people who have healed things or fixed things ten million times more serious or weird...??
Pete and MJ both are CURRENTLY going thru the horrible consequences of listening to (a HERO-IRON MAN) and doing what he said (unmasking to the world).....so why would they listen to the DEVIL (not a hero and more OBVIOUS in the situation here of what he wants)...?
And why would someone so powerful settle on trading MARRIAGE of ALL THINGS he could...in return for making an old lady live a little longer?? He could ask for PEte's power, for ONE example...which would lower the number of supereroes and actually benefit evil's cause!!
I mean, there are tons of lame questions here, but the answer to them all, is because everything is this "story" is to GET TO POINT B....no marriage.
that's all that matters here in this arc.
