Peter & Mary Jane - Editorial Edict? Do You Want Them To Be Together Again?

[UnknownEntity]

waaah the marriage isn't in continuity!!!! I hate marvel!!!...ugh....you have RYV's that's all you are going to get....do you like beating a dead horse? apparently !!!

oh and just to be petty ....I still win and you still lose and cry about it.

Your whiny berating rant says more about you than the people its meant for.

He's said several times here if Marvel told him to write Peter and MJ as a couple even without the marriage, he would have no objection to it.

Right. "If" Marvel told him to. But they won't. They don't want Peter and MJ together.

OMD failed. It failed as a story, and more to the point, it failed as a mission statement.

That's quite an understatement. OMD was a complete disaster and majorly ticked fans off like no other Spidey story ever has. I mean, I know some fans don't like the Clone Saga and some other stories, but 90% of fans hate OMD with a passion.

They don't want Peter and MJ together.

If that were the case, RYV wouldn't exist and the daily comic strip would still be running with a single Peter like it tried to do eight years ago

Peter and MJ ARE together. They're just not together where they ought to be.

Well yeah, it's easy to put them together in an alternate universe, but they won't do it in the main MCU.

True, but that doesn't mean it will last forever either.

Of course, if you look around, most if not all of Marvel's iconic relationships haven't been in play for the longest time either. Peter and MJ and the Richards were of a dying breed at the time even back then, and while the Richards are still together, they presently have no presence in the MCU [could change with Legacy though].

I wouldn't mind more than just Peter and MJ coming together again.

[UnknownEntity]

Spider Marriage Restoration. I want more than just the two getting back together again. I want their future as well, what's happening in RYV. Not them back together just so they can break up in the future again. There will never be a better love interest for Peter than MJ so they should stop shipping him with women who won't last.

Oh, don't even get me started on the FF

Slott has went on record saying he was the one who championed for RYV to be a series, not Marvel. He wanted to help fans like us who want to see them being a couple. Marvel themselves don't care and are happy with the direction Slott is doing in his books.

I can't remember once since I followed the book where Marvel forced Dan to do something in ASM. It really is up to him whether or not they get together, and based on all evidence, it's not happening anytime soon.

I concur on the fact that Dan Slott has a lot of freedom. However since he's not brought them back together it works against him for the pro marriage crowd and even though he made the original RYV, he's not writing the ongoing and while he should be credited for its original conception, he shouldn't be credited with its current status as an ongoing. That belongs to Gerry Conway and Ryan Stegman.

It'll happen. Most fans know there's no one else for Peter than Mary Jane. Everyone they've tried to pair him up since has been a complete, utter laughable failure.

The Amazing Spider-Man comics since OMD (and since Marvel sold Peter out to Mephisto) have been a curiously soulless corporate product, lacking in heart, with a protagonist that's never felt more like an amateurly-written, two-dimensional cartoon character. Someday Marvel will get the right editorial in place and get the right talent on the book and fix its glaring flaws, one being the assassination of Mary Jane's character by the sniveling Queseda gang.

There have been a few instances of Slott having to course-correct under suggestions from higher-ups. Spider-Island was a last-minute substitute for something else, and Superior Spider-Man was supposed to last longer than it did but the Amazing Spider-Man II movie was coming out around the time so Marvel requested Peter back in the costume just in time for it.

Cause I'm tired of waiting. Then again, I have RYV which is a damn good remedy, yet not a solution, and because of that my heart will always yearn for more.

[comicscollector]

Nope.
After having read through twenty years of stories with Peter and Mary Jane i would be bored by the stories if Peter and Mary Jane got together again.
There were lots of great stories before that had other romantic interests as Black Cat,Gwen Stacy,Liz Allan,Carlie,that show that the idea that there can be just good Spider-Man stories with Peter and Mary Jane is silly.
And there have been other characters as Glory Grant,that i thought was a shame that was not developed as a romantic interest.
And without counting with new characters that could be developed to be new romantic interests.

Yes, changes made because of outside interferences or schedule problems, not flat out story changes Slott was forced to make. I want them to be a couple again as much as you, just saying as long as Slott is writing the book, it won't happen.

Who knows, maybe Chip Zdarsky can persuade Slott or something.

Can't Zdarsky get them together in his book without a problem? Is Zdarsky limited by the happenings of ASM? Does it have to adhere to it?

I mean, even if they get back together, I will never be fully satisfied until they remember the deal with the devil and their marriage and realize the depth of their true feelings towards each other and the unbreakable unconditional bond they used to share.
