Cool, because I'm
enjoying Jackpot so I'll talk about my enjoyment of that. You don't for your reasons and that's fine. But if people want to be immature and attack others for liking a comic they don't then that's their prerogative.
So you can move on, but I'll continue to talk about what I enjoy in a comic when it does something I enjoy, just as I'll critique something I don't but not hold anything against someone that it doesn't get to/bother as bad as it does me, cool?
For the record, it's never really too late to make someone care about a comic book character if you do the right things with him. Damian Wayne and Jason Todd are prime examples of that. It's just however that these things are made far in advanced so they can't just "change" a comic that already has a bunch of issues that are essentially done as far as the hard parts go before the second is even released. New writers can always change things up.
Celeste does far more with Paul than his creator ever has, and I appreciate that as well as MJ showing affection towards him. A constant I'll always have is if they wanted us to believe that MJ and Paul had a thing, there needs to be affection shown, real affection and acknowledged affection. Whether or not he's just a "transitional champion" is moot. Commit to it, roll with it, run with it. For however long it lasts. They've done it with Peter and they've done it with Felicia and countless other comic characters, they can with MJ.
