This.
spoilers:
Paul outright says he helped his father with the genocide and only realized things were wrong when everyone on the planet was already dead. Then Paul says he killed his father, which automatically puts him at odds with Peter who would never, ever kill (unless it's a suicidal friend of Wolverine's who runs into his fist). But MJ thinks that makes him like Peter?!?!?!!! |
end of spoilers
Not only that, but for MJ to apparently then cut off all contact with Peter, tell him never to call her, to yell at him about responsibility after Peter saved her - again? For MJ to be stripped of all empathy?!
The sheer disdain, disregard and disrespect dripping off the page for Mary Jane and her established character and history is appalling and atrocious. Of course, Peter doesn't fare much better. He's also being an uncharacteristic jerk and lacking in empathy.
Not to mention, Paul is a liar, liar, pants on fire.
In ASM 21, he:
1) knows about the time dilation but says nothing to MJ about it, so she thinks Peter isn't coming back.
2) Says that he worked with Rabin and was sent to the hellworld with a message for Wayeb - but now we learn
spoilers:
he was a native of this world and while he worked with Rabin, was also his son. |
end of spoilers
3)
spoilers:
Tells Peter in ASM 26 that Peter and MJ brought their Emissary to his world, indicating that's the first time he's seen 616 Rabin |
end of spoilers but in ASM 21 he knows the entire back story of Peter's original fight with Wayeb and Rabin back in BND.
4) Acts as if he's never heard of the multiverse in ASM 21 but
spoilers:
turns out he knew all along he wasn't from 616 like Peter and MJ. |
end of spoilers
But in the end, I think all of this is because this is a very sloppily written (and drawn) run. I'd love to think all the inconsistencies were Easter eggs pointing to a bigger story, but so far this just seems like more Romy/Stephanie laziness.
