I've said elsewhere: this is a version of Gwen that I can see as the same character that Ditko wrote. I don't think that's really true of any other version of Gwen.

I do hope that this Harry and...

I think there's a distinction between, Has this run made MJ a bad person? (no - although not an especially heroic person), and, Has this run damaged MJ as a love interest for Peter? (Yes - it's hard...

I strongly object to the current status quo, and nothing that I've seen has made me think I want to read the run; but I would like to say it's nice to see someone express what concrete things they...

People who want a married Spider-man don't want just Any married Spider-man. They want the Peter and MJ who got married in the AMS Annual 21. Ultimate Peter and MJ are a nice thing to have as well,...

Shouldn't that be Vincent (as in Stegron)?

'Objective' (and its counterpart 'subjective') is a horribly complex word. It falls into the class of words like 'healthy' that have different but related meanings depending on what concept you use...

Any discussion worth having is about rules that are more than just subjective. Subjective opinions are ipso facto not based on anything outside the person expressing them - they are therefore only of...

You speak as if the fact that Spider-man and the interest in superhero comics lasted had nothing to do with the decision to send Peter to college. It has often been said that one of the reasons...

Harry and Gwen's decision not to have children because of the state of the world is unlikely to be a recent decision: they're the same age as Peter and MJ who've had time to have two.

Given the way Norman expresses his opinion, we don't have any evidence that Norman is being reasonable. We've seen Harry and Gwen's marriage - admittedly only as outsiders - they certainly talk like...

She wouldn't have known Gwen unless she went to ESU as well.

To be fair, she is Mary Jane.

He dated a red-headed woman who was not upper class.

I'm not sure of Liz's class background either. Peter's surprised the first time he sees them together.

If you squint at it right, when Wells has 616-Peter tell Norman that when he first met him he was like a father to him what Peter means is that Norman stopped at nothing to ruin his life.

With hindsight, do we suspect the influence of Nick Lowe's philosophy that big plot beats should come as surprises, and the only people who like foreshadowing, tension, and build-up are pedants on...

Now, why does that last sentence make me think of Rise of Skywalker?
(I think The Last Jedi is trying to do something interesting, but it doesn't actually succeed in hitting the story beats that...

I think the contrast between the stark black and white, and the pink is one of the things that makes the usual costume work so well. Also this one looks to have a mouth in the mask as with Peter...

Duplicate.

They are very shippable.
(Peter's emotions about Gwen are I think very much boosted by guilt.)

Having just discovered Invincible, via Prime Video: but as I understand it, Mark starts out as a teenaged superhero, meets a redheaded co-protagonist, is friends with her while dating someone else,...

I like Not a Villain Emma too, but in every romantic scene I've seen with her and Scott they have the chemistry of platinum and neon.

He appeared along with Iron Man, the Wakandans (looking to my mind very MCU inspired), Daredevil, and er... Cloak and Dagger. (Not that I don't like seeing Cloak and Dagger but I think you'd have to...

To be fair, I can believe that the number of fans actively demanding the marriage before Stan Lee proposed it was low, in that I would suppose few people thought A-list solo superheroes could get...

Editorial at the time did backpedal on that, and I think the writer may not have meant the blow to be drawn in quite so dynamic a style. However, at the Avengers' meeting to discipline Hank for his...

That and Civil War, and No More Mutants.
