Amazing Spider-man 21 Preview

It was very kind of Rabin to glow yellow and levitate out of nowhere just to match the end of Beyond

Hey he developed an entire new power set to justify this crap

[Spidey_Legend]

Sigh there is not much pulling me into this Wayep. I think there are several different reasons. He has no real connection to Spider-man. More of a villain one might see in Doctor Strange. Or he reminds me of the great beasts that alpha flight fights. But they are all Canadian and Sasquatch was on the team. Why is this a Spider-man story?

It’s easy to create an enemy to separate MJ and Peter. Easy to create one who beats up Peter.

This feels like Morlun without all the intriguing parts and the art is sadly not at the same level that it was back then.

So far I am wondering why. But not why as in story wise but why as in why did this story have to happen? A tragedy is very much in the reason why it happens, this so far just feels unconnected.

They want to separate Peter and MJ in the more lazy way. Nothing more.

No one:
Zeb Wells: hey kids remember than character I've written 15 years ago nobody cared about? How about I center my entire run around him?

Oh come on, I am still sick after Spencer's Kindred... also- damn. Almost 15 years have passed. Do I feel old.

Basically One Moment In Time 2.0, huh? Because the first time wasn't enough!

So...what I am inferring from this issue is that Peter and MJ can't be together because the world will end or some mystical mumbo-jumbo bull crap? That is dumb and lazy, I think that is even lazier than using Mephisto to break up their marriage. This comic blows. Also, those kids are Peters and MJ's, I am calling it right now! Also...Paul sucks, but you all already knew that.

But since this was supposed to last 2 years instead of 1 have to change it up for year 2. Might get more MJ in season 2

One can only hope, but I am not feeling very hopeful right now.

Where are people getting the idea the mystery box was supposed to last two years?

In a podcast in August, Wells said the plan was to keep the mystery box going for a year, and then start his year two with the reader and the characters finally on the same space.

They have been remarkably consistent with what they’ve said and the outcomes, from Wells laying out that plan to Cebulski saying at C2E2 that Peter and MJ would not be together, true love doesn’t always win but they are best friends - and Peter called MJ his best friend in ASM 20.

But he also said he wanted to convey them trying to be together and something is in the way. Which would happen if seems in year 2. Granted if he makes it all the way

Wonder if that'll prevent Paul from eating 'em, something like "Anything that ugly can't be considered food".

[TinkerSpider]

Hey guys, kids?

The kids haven't been eaten yet, but Wells said he had tears in his eyes when Wells pitched the story so fingers crossed!

Oh, I very much doubt this will end with Peter and MJ together. He'll still keep them apart. Betting the "tears" part is that MJ and Peter can never be together or the world will end, some nonsense like that. After all, this entire story is because a magic guy did some magic and forced some sort of magical curse on Peter and MJ. So anything can happen out of the blue, it's all just random magic.

[CrimsonEchidna]

Reading the Black Cat and MJ mini today really sunk in how far removed the Wells run has been on having Pete and MJ actually have an adult conversation. This is now the second time we've gone down the rabbit hole of a big supernatural reason why Pete and MJ can't be together.

And the whole time I'm reading Amazing I just kept asking "why not have them just breakup like normal people?"

And people keep making these grand predictions for Paul secretly being an abusive creep or secretly Mephisto, or a time-displaced Peter from the future like Lars in Futurama. Honestly I think it's really as simple as Paul and the kids is supposed to be a rebutation of fans taking the One More Day story as literal that MJ is now retcon as being anti-marriage. It's there way of saying "Oh no, MJ would totally being willing to tie the knot. Just not with Peter." lol

This.
It was handled pretty well in Spider-Verse movie. People do break up even if they love each other.
They can't be together because she met someone else. That's it, there's no need for magic bs.

Still- people would be very mad (me included). You don't tease us with that wedding ring only to backtrack few months later.
