    Default The Spider-Man Marriage: A THREAD

    I did this on my twitter page and will be posting it here as a celebration of Peter and MJ's time as husband and wife. This is a chronological recap focusing on the marriage of Peter and Mary Jane from ASM #290 on. I will be posting in order according to a Spider-Man reading order guide I found on the internet. Any commentary on the recaps I post here are fine, but please try to keep out of order examples /screenshiots to a minimum as I would like this thread to serve as an orderly reference to this era and not to be too confusing! Thanks and enjoy!

    Peter asks Mary Jane to marry him in Amazing Spider-Man #290

    In ASM #291, MJ says "no" reminding him they have been just friends as of late, and rushes off to go see her sister Gayle. However, she doubts her decision to not consult with him about her family problems.

    However, after arriving and being openly rebuked by her sister and having a bad encounter with her father, MJ reaches out to Peter for help.

    Peter arrives and helps MJ sort out her thoughts and figure out what she must do. Likewise, MJ helps Peter in his battle with Smythe. Turns out they make a good team!

    After finally dealing with her father, MJ has a realization that she has grown up over the experience, and it's time to stop running from responsibility and commitment. With this she pursues happiness and agrees to marry Peter.





    Note, what they achieved in just 3 issues between Peter and MJ was masterful in my opinion.
    - We got family drama highlighted and settled for MJ that had been previously explained as what held her back from commitment
    - We got Peter putting her first and teamwork between the two in both Peter helping her and MJ helping Peter as Spider-Man
    - We got changed minds and hearts based on solving problems together
    It's just really good. Love it.

    In ASM Annual #21, Peter faces doubts of inadequacy living up to MJ's lavish lifestyle. He also dwells on how he lost Gwen as fears and doubts creep in about the future.
