Mary Jane Watson-Parker Appreciation 2022

[Confuzzled]

I hate that suit

Hard same.

They trying to project the Tom Holland high school Iron Boy take on 30-something Comics Peter with the backpack shoulder straps imagery and overt tech.

Not surprising. Marvel's been trying to put that genie back in the bottle --- Peter aging out and graduating from high school --- for years now. The die was cast as soon as Brevoort started talking in his Spider-Manifesto about how Spider-Man was supposed to be about "youth," never mind that Peter had been out of high school for a solid decade in-universe (going by the high school reunion he attended in Mark Millar's Marvel Knights Spider-Man #1-12) before One More Day happened. At this point, it's a whole bunch of revisionist and frankly regressive B.S. on the part of current leadership that thinks Spider-Man works best as an inexperienced adolescent or an overgrown adolescent who can't or won't learn from his past experiences and mistakes, and that's what we're going to keep getting so long as those guys are in charge.

Long hair could be Judas Traveller! He is involved in mutant shenanigans right now after 25 year absence.

He was name-dropped by Brand in today's X-Men Red

You could say this particular space represents Mary Jane also. As in, if she ever took a step into it, it'd lead her to the same place and truly demonstrate her 'unbreakable' link to Peter.

No, that's explicitly his space not her's lol.

I thought the bald guy was Crusher Hoggan for a moment lol.

I disagree, I think fans are fairly critical of her specially compared to Pre-OMD MJ

OMD MJ has consistently never been able to make her mind up, switches on Peter constantly, berates him even when he's already at his lows(superior, ANAD,OMIT), etc.

Spencer's MJ was much better, still no Pre-OMD MJ but actually a compassionate human being.

Funnily enough, MJ in ASM#1 vol 5 laughed at Spidey's life going to **** again.

It really didn't make her suddenly getting back together with him look ane less of an asspull.

It's so funny that Marvel Editorial will claim OMD was done to open up new story possibilities, and all they have done is written the same status quo again and again and again of Peter being sad and alone.

Even funnier is how largely irrelevant new love interests tend to be.

The run barely started and we're getting tie-ins by the 9th issue? Why's Spidey getting a C-lister treatment?

[Sr. Bungle]

Two tie-ins, one after the other

Two tie-ins, one after the other

I think the Eternals one isn't part of ASM (Even though it's gonna be written by Wells), but the Gala one is.

Oh well, at least this may confirm that Gala happens after the timeskip, unless that's a flashback or whatever.

Wow, Spider-Man's ex-girlfriend sure goes through a lot, huh?

Peter: "It's not like I've been stalking her or anything..."

Awesome, so glad he's getting fleshed out again. DeMatties mini when?

[Webhead]

Oedipus much?

Oedipus much?

I had to look that up, smarter than I.

Who do I have to kill to get Rodriguez on ASM?

Nope, The Judgment Day tie-in is ASM #10
