Him beating Zarathos is as bullshit as that time he beat Firelord lol.
And then DC doing the same bullshit post Rebirth shows they didn't learn their lesson.
I think DC is apparently avoiding that again, and with DiDio gone, there is a better chance, but who knows, maybe the dark nonsense will return again, and this dumb cycle will continue.
Yeah I see what the point is, but I prefer for some characters to not do something that is too big for 'em.Fair enough, though Spider-Man or his offspring being great enough to beat the Devil does explain why Mephisto tries so hard to break the former and prevent the latter from existing. I do appreciate it, on a certain level, for Marvel finally admitting that Peter and Mary Jane are endgame, married or not.
I guess it's kinda funny that Mephisto being what keeps Peter and MJ separated is in a way saying that editorial is the devil, so that's funny at least.
The weird thing is that, back in OMD and this Spidey/Deadpool comic, Mephisto basically says that he's doing it 'cause he likes breaking a hero's spirit, basically making it sound like he's bored and chose to be a pain in Spidey's ass for shits and giggles, this "Mephisto is afraid of Peter/Mayday", just makes you wonder why he's not more direct about getting rid of them... But oh well lol.Good points there, especially on the willpower/strength of spirit front, which would be why Mephisto has tried so hard to demoralize and break down Spider-Man, whether through the Osborns or even in Spider-Man/Deadpool with Itsy Bitsy.
This nonsense is convoluted enough for something like that to help clear up lol.The Kindred Journal(s), maybe?
