Is there any way Wells can turn the negative fan reception around?

[Kaitou D. Kid]

And that when we get a JMS style reconciliation people would cheer Wells on

This makes no sense.

Peter and MJ were separated when JMS came on.

Peter and MJ just got together before Wells came on, after 10 years of being separated.

If he wanted to tell a reunion story, he missed the boat.

Can confirm the stuff about Paul being true. The intention was clearly for the audience to like him.

Crazy to wrap my head around this.

I know - Peter and MJ fooled the Mayan trickster god into believing he is Peter for reasons, and the real Peter is depowered and pretending to be Paul.

You've been watching a bit too much Futurama

Lost Hunt is the one, true canon! Portland is the place Peter and MJ were gone for "six months!"

It does goes to show how inept Zed and by extent Romita Jr are at their jobs. The stage direction and art always made MJ look like she was terrified of Paul and pined for Peter. Is it any wonder I thought he was abusive? At least now I think of him more that he's a simp and a non-entity and MJ wears the balls in the family.

Paul is described as "conservative".

The real mystery is "What did Paul do on January 6th?"

"That Paul, great guy, a great guy that Paul. Does a swell job of keeping the family together, great guy, we love Paul, don't we?"

This is in the same post-OMD run that's supposed to be "for the younger gen's", right? lol

I lol-ed

Maybe I'm being dense, but what does "NUC" refer to? It seems like a placeholder for Paul...

Wells also included MJ sitting a dark closet so no one could overhear her or see her talking to Peter, which is usually code for "I have to keep this a secret out of fear of the reaction from whoever could hear/see me." We then see Paul referring to a past confrontation with Peter in ASM 3 and we see the shoving match in ASM 7, so coding Paul as someone whose reactions MJ doesn't want to trigger is all on Wells.

In context, that seems more like stage directions than an appeal to the audience, e.g. "don't hint at anything menacing, don't tip at a later reveal, draw him happy."

Agree. Although I still wonder what he was doing on Jan 6 LOL.

Thank you, that makes sense.

Oh wait, maybe NUC isn't pronounced "Nuke."

My bad.
