Could we be seeing a reunion of Peter and Carlie?

Honestly can't even blame ya, the list of dumb **** Slott did with, about everyone, it's noticeable.
(ASM#13 vol 4)
It's also weird Slott made Spidey talk like he was shy around MJ, when that never actually happened... Seriously, Slott has a lot of cumulative knowledge and says stuff like that, it wouldn't be so bad if he understood the spirit of ASM better, but uh, yeah...
Also, right before his run ended, he made MJ be interested in being with Spidey again:
(ASM#796)
Only for her to change her mind in the very next issue and be like "Nope, can't do it, out of my house".
(ASM#797)
Nothing says good writing like making a character change her opinion on whether or not she likes Peter's Spider-Man side with absolutely no reasoning given for those changes... Seriously, even back when I was catching up with Spidey and didn't really know/remember what the characterizations/relationships were like, so much **** felt off that I was wondering if I just couldn't enjoy comic books just because I wasn't liking Slott's run for the most part, reading Marvel Adventures Spider-Man made me realize I just don't like Slott's writing lol.
Sure, but I meant that maybe there's a timeline out there where he didn't stop writing ASM even after #801, staying in it for 10 more years.Hey, you don't know how long this run will turn out to be...I can see Slott wanting to try for the consecutive issue record again.
Here:Adding it to the list! Thanks (I think...)!

The babies were said to have been killed during a demon invasion (The soldiers were in Limbo and one of them was dumb enough to bring some amulet to the base they were staying in, which attracted Witchfire and she attacked the base with her demons), and all I could think from that was "Classic Wells", then, it turned out they were only believed to be dead, as the same issue shows them alive and many years older, so that was unnexpected, maybe there's a chance Paul's kids won't be eaten, or killed in any way... On the other hand, Dark Web is nearby, Madelyne is becoming queen of Limbo, and her and children don't have a nice story, and I think Wells will be writing Dark Web, so uh, yeah, there's gonna be plenty of kid eating candidates and the kids will be lucky if they survive this run...
If ASM right now is still as bad as ASM#1 vol 6, then man, Slott will need to make actual effort to be worse.
Like, at least he's uh, less insultingly boring I guess? Not as mean spirited sometimes? Urgh...
You're not the only one. He has fun ideas, in a "let's build a LEGO playset" kind of way. His execution is...lacking.
Spider-Verse is the most mean-spirited and spiteful thing I've ever had the misfortune to read. Like, the story went purposefully out of its way to actively spit on fan-favorite characters. Superior was also mean-spirited. In fact, Slott's treatment of MJ - and I'd include other female characters, from May to Carlie - is highly mean-spirited. And IMO the Scorpio and Parker Industries stories actively insulted my intelligence as a reader. I've luckily locked most of his run out of my memory.If ASM right now is still as bad as ASM#1 vol 6, then man, Slott will need to make actual effort to be worse.

I'd take Wells over Slott if I had to chose. The mystery box is highly annoying and he's writing for the trade collection so the pacing is excruiating for monthly readers; his Peter and Mary Jane are very badly drawn, in part because Wells is trying so hard to keep the lid on the mystery box he's forgotten to give them motivations or to provide reasons for the reader to care or root for them. But so far, it's been more entertaining than a Slott run; Tombstone is fun if drawing all the focus away from Peter in his own book, and the dialogue - with the exception of the arch elliptic conversations to keep the mystery box lid screwed on tight - is far more natural and fun to read than Slott's.
I'd rather take neither, of course.
Okay, but is Morlun going to flip the script and manage to actually be a compelling character this time around? 'cuz my chips right now are on "No".
Discovering/CONFESSING! the nature of evil... one retcon at a time.
The only time Morlun's ever been good was his first appearance.
On one hand it's nice to have a satellite again finally with storied Spidey creators at the helm, on the other it'd be nice to get some fresh blood for once. Everybody doing Spidey generally has already done the character in some form before.
I will check it out and then bash it if it needs bashing
