Honestly, I'm just happy to think that we'll be seeing Peter and Mary Jane together in animation and video games (even they probably won't be romantically connected in the former), because I've kind of just given up on the comics and the movies are a whole other thing at this point.
We still need to see more of MJ in the current Disney XD series. You know, hopefully in an outfit that isn't totally face obscuring.
Regardless of how I feel about Slott's handling of MJ, I think the Spider-line has needed a shake-up for a long while now. And I am in favor of Slott stepping down from ASM and moving on to something else (such as putting him on a relaunched FF.)
It's hard not to look at Bendis leaving Marvel as a precursor to Alonso no longer being EiC. We're getting shake-ups at Marvel, and that's exciting.
I think it's as simple as "the last writer (JMS) so defined Peter/MJ, let's do something different."
But it's created its share of problems for a variety of reasons. And the way it ended is a BIG part of those reasons.
It's gotten to the point that actually seeing Peter/MJ feels like a breath of fresh air.
Like I've said in another thread. I'm neither surprised nor sad that Alonso is leaving and congratulations to Cebulski, hopefully they'll do more things that I like then don't under his tenure.
Quoted in agreement.
As Inspector Grim once said in Thin Blue Line ''WELL IT WOULD BE NICE!''
I'm so glad that Mary Jane is with Peter, and they're adults living together, in the upcoming Spider-Man game and seems to have playable segments. 2018 can't come sooner for Peter/MJ fans.
