Comics Would you cancel all Spider-Man books if they killed off MJ?

[shinlyle]

See...it's not that it is impossible to tell interesting stories featuring Peter married to MJ, it's that the current crew is incapable of telling good stories involving featuring Peter married to MJ.

They can ramble on about how the marriage limits the potential stories, but how does it really limit them?

Peter can't go on dates and get into relationships? So? What is the onvious ending to a relationship? It'll either end, or it won't. Either way, it's more realistic to have him married from now on, than it is for him to enter a hundred more dead-end relationships that ALL end because "He is Spider-Man, and the woman's life will forever be in jeapordy". Wow...that hasn't been rehashed to death in 2 movies, countless comics, and even in the Ultimate Universe.

You almost have to wonder if anyone at Marvel is even married. Being married, myself, there are tons of quirky stories you could explore. Have Peter and MJ argue about meaningless crap, make-up, and laugh about it. Make it 3 issues. Ta-da!!! You can have them working different times of the day, and hence, they don't get to see each other for a week or so, and Peter finds a way to see her on his lunch break or something. Have Mary Jane's experiences throughout the day be things where SHE deals with her problems, and maybe even gives Peter some helpful advice about how to deal with Spidey problems and the like.

I swear, it's not that hard to write a marriage, people. Hell, just write Spidey's marriage like any other marriage, and throw in some superheroing...that's how Spider-Man used to be. Peter's normal life and the problems he faced....plus some superheroing.

Dammit, Marvel, just give me a call and I'll fix this crap-fest. Argh.

They have been doing that crap for years and it's old! time to end the Marriage.

someone else said you wanted to do asm and that you'd already stated that you'd start by killing a character to show you were serious. I was merely stating that I for one think MJ's great but I'd be willing to make the sacrifice to get you writing it rather than JMS

That was me who said it. But I said the character that he mentioned in the interview, which was Deb Whitman.

J.J. Jameson, the Hype user, said MJ.

And Mr. Slott already defended himself on that.

Boy, Quesada DOES have all your panties in a twist, I love it.

Um...

Since when would I kill off MJ?

Hello...?

Seriously? I don't think I'd ever have the ***** to bump off a classic Lee/Romita character. (Technically a Lee/Ditko character if you count the time that Ditko drew MJ with her face blocked by a vase filled with flowers...)

I mean, let's face it, M(onkey) J(oe) is one thing... But M(ary) J(ane) is a whole different MJ altogether!

Truer words have never been spoken. Hopefully we don't drive Mr. Slott away with our opinions.

Okay, hopefully I won't drive Mr. Slott away with my opinions.
