    Default Is "One More Day" Coming Unraveled in "Amazing Spider-Man"?

    Could Marvel's recent reality-altering events result in a restoration of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson's marriage?

    Very good points of evidence. It's a very minor one, but Spider-Man #2 also has Peter says he hates a red demon when he and Miles are fighting Blackheart, Mephisto's son. So between books that have featured Peter prominently (Aside from Spidey, which isn't a modern story), it does seem that there is a collective effort among the books to address One More Day.

    I'm not ready to get my hopes up just yet, but I would welcome the change back to the proper continuity with open arms.

    Same here.

    I don't care why they do it or particularly how they do it. Just bring back the Spider-Marriage and make everyone remember everything they forgot. Just do it!!

    It's carrot-dangling at best, trolling at worst. The Spidey editorial team have been doing it on and off for the last nine years and it continues to lead to the same place... nowhere. Nothing's going to change any time soon and, quite frankly, I wouldn't want the current Spidey team going anywhere near the (real) marriage anyway.

    It's all clearly leading to 'Spider-Man And Doctor Doom: Triumph And Torment' by Roger Stern.


    I haven't bought a single issue of Spider-Man since OMD
    Same with me, Marvel just totally went against everything Spidey comics were about.
    Things I love: Batman, Superman, AEW, old films, Lovecraft

    Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”

    This. It's unlikely the current folks on Spidey could tell a good story with OMD--Slott's writing is horrid, Lowe's editing is choppy to nonexistent, and Brevort's concept of what Spider-Man is supposed to be is laughable.

    I'd like to see some good writers undo OMD properly after they're gone.

    This, so very true. It wouldn't matter if they returned the status quo, I simply can't read Slott's work.
    I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
    A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:

    Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
    Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.

    In Iron Man, MJ says she's at her lowest point and when Tony says he doesn't believe it, MJ says "Tell it to my soul." Which like the Spider-Man issue above was written by Bendis.

    Still, I don't think they will restore Peter and MJ's marriage. The deeply cynical portion of me thinks they might address OMD since so many people think making a deal with the devil is unheroic and taints Peter but they will do it in such a way the marriage remains erased. The really deeply cynical portion of me thinks this will involve Mary Jane sacrificing herself so Gwen can stay alive after Clones No More or Clonespiracy or whatever they calling it.

    I was just talking about this today...if it happens and they do erase OMD, I can guarantee you I will be back with Spidey after all these years.

    DITTO.

    Nothing would make me happier. We got the original DCU back. If Marvel gives us back the classic Marvel status quo? I'm in like Flynn. Bring it on!

    For that matter, hell, why stop there? Give us the classic Avengers line-ups, too. And stop with the Inhumans stuff and just focus on the X-Men again.

    Then all would be right in the world as far as I'm concerned.

    I never thought I'd say this, but I miss Marvel's previous status quo .... the one before everybody was on everyone else's team.

    Amen. A little bit of that goes a long way, but it has spiraled out of control to the point where it a complete disorganized mess that requires a scorecard to keep track of.

    I can't remember exactly when the original copy was made, but during Dark Reign, Tony wiped his mind back to before the first Civil War started. Might not take it back to New Avengers #1, but definitely before May was shot and all that.
