So, /co/, I was thinking about OMD lately with what had been going on in Spider-Man/Deadpool. Clearly there's a difference between pre-OMD MJ and post-OMD MJ. The writers are clearly aware of this, since Slott wrote a terribly shitty MJ in his normal run, but suddenly in Renew Your Vows, she was back to normal. Now to Mephisto, I always thought the concept of him taking the two's marriage was odd. I mean, he's not an idiot, clearly he knows that there's a possibility that it could be brought together. So, obviously, he probably has some sort of back up plan, considering he's Mephisto and all, it must be something terrible. Now back to MJ, clearly pre-OMD MJ loved Peter and would likely do anything to stop him from coming to harm. So if she knew that Mephisto would plan something like this, it falls to reason that she might attempt to prevent it. So, what if, the thing she whispered to Mephisto, was actually a deal that she would remember her life pre-OMD. That way, she could do her best not to have Peter fall in love with her again, by acting like she's not interested, because she knows if they were to get back together her husband could die or something. Mephisto would obviously take the deal, because that just means more suffering from MJ.

Didn't Peter and MJ have a child together? If so where is it now

Who is MJ with currently and who is Peter with currently
>>
>>84240698
I actually dislike all three of Peter's main love interests, but I can see why you'd make such an assumption.

>>84240724
They've had a child in a few alternative universes. You're probably thinking of the more recent Renew Your Vows.

MJ is either single or dating some firefighter dude while Peter is currently single.
>>
>>84240724
>Not up to date on Spider-Man comics

Good, it all went to shit and Slott keeps throwing a tantrum on Twitter talking about how he refuses to leave when someone brings it up.

>Didn't Peter and MJ have a child together? If so where is it now

I don't know which you're referring to, but I'll tackle all three I think you might be. They had an unborn child that died, an unborn child that was erased from existence, and in an alternate reality where OMD never happened, they ended up having a child, but she's not canon.

>Who is MJ with currently and who is Peter with currently

She use to date this firefighter during Superior, but something happened between them and they aren't together. She works for Tony Stark now and some people speculate that they fucked, though nothing is confirmed. Peter is trying to date, but no one seems to be interested. His last ex tried to murder him with a spider robot. There was this nice Succubus lady into science that Deadpool introduced him to named Jenny, but she got really pissed at him when she found out him and Deadpool were getting her to fight Fem Thor for their lesbo fantasies.

>>84241696
That doesn't mean that he KNOWS.
It's a nightmare, even if he remembers his dreams he wouldn't think it's anything more than subconscious dream gibberish.
And besides, in the end of OMD Mephisto said Pete would from then on always have a nagging doubt right down to his soul about something he couldn't identify. This is that.

But yeah, M.J. has obviously known the truth since then.

I'm pretty sure he was dead, not dreaming

Yeah, it's character assassination.

>>84243696
No, he was in purgatory because Deadpool shot him. He's fully aware that was where he was. Unless Mephisto was just one of Mysterio's illusions like Uncle Ben was.
>>
>>84239717
>what if, the thing she whispered to Mephisto, was actually a deal that she would remember her life pre-OMD
We went over this particular theory some time back and some attempts to blow up her tiny word balloons strongly implied that was exactly what the deal was. And you're spot on about the suffering part as a bonus.

The problem with this is that since then, we've already had a flashback to that conversation where we heard it –and what she told him was "you don't ever get to interfere in his life again" which he readily agreed to. MJ told Mephisto Peter wouldn't agree to any deal she didn't sign off on, and that was her condition.

Out of continuity, I think the original tiny print deal was JMS, the weaker deal was whoever wrote that issue (probably Slott), and the revival of MJ as The One True Pairing has less to do with OMD and more to do with noticing the specific message of Rebirth over at DC: you lose readers when your reboots are based on severing relationships.

Overall OMD damaged her character in ways that will require work to undo. She wasn't in my estimation a great character to begin with but she evolved from a hipster to a bedrock who exemplified faith in Peter; since OMD she's been someone you really couldn't stand to be around for more than five minutes. One of the reasons I really liked the SpOck/Anna dynamic was because Anna believed in "Peter" and helped make him a better person. Post-OMD MJ only talks about looking out for herself, and it genuinely surprised her when "Peter" blew her off for exactly that reason, as though that ought to have been her prerogative (and she took it when Peter regained his identity).

the best part about that? The panel where we saw her as a young girl was traced from a photo of Joe Quesada's daughter.

>>84240483

Single spidey doesn't work. It was done before and became incredibly tedious and formulaic. Marvel just cant write good stories of Peters love life no matter how hard they tried. Him being tied down has more drama potential than the repeat of "Oh peter left my date for some reason, hey look spidermans here!" drama for the umpteenth time.

I hate MJ's 90s pornstar look. One of the things that ended up ruining spiderman.

Dammit. If the execs are NEVER EVER gonna let Peter and MJ get together, why not retire her character? At this point, she's no better than Black Cat. They're both just a drag.

We killed off Gwen. Lets just kill her off too.

He's been actually pretty aware of his surrounding ever since Duggan started writing him. He lost his multiple voice in his head and has been rather depressed for most of his second to last ongoing

However Deadpool wasn't present during that Mephisto portion, that works more like a dream rather than a resurrection. He was also occupied with talking to Lady Death in that moment

Well she's literally not apart of Peter's world anymore. She's too busy chumming it up with Tony.

Fairly certain Mephisto's speech here refers to the end of the issue, where he says something about Peter never being able to find happiness because of the life he chose or something like that. Might not be about OMD.

Yea but there are plenty of readers who are waiting for Peter/MJ to hook up again....I'm just saying the shit storm will be there.

It's funny to me how they're doing Spiderman so fucking wrong. This is their most popular character that's a fucking household name, arguably even more popular than Superman, and yet they just don't get how to write him. He really should've gotten a child with MJ by now.

I mean, MJ and Spiderman is easily the Lois Lane and Superman of Marvel. In DC nowadays, Lois Lane and Superman have a kid together, and had him for years, and the kid is even about to fight crime like his pops in Rebirth.

In current Marvel, Peter is a dateless jabroni who fucked up his love life to save his old aunt who's just gonna fucking die of old age eventually. Now he'll never have that kid with MJ, which is sad, because that's what definitely should've happened by now.
>>
>>84250520
>there are plenty of readers who are waiting for Peter/MJ to hook up again

Point of order: many of us stopped being readers. I haven't read Marvel comics in a while because they haven't interested me in a while.

Being Peter Parker = Suffering + MJ. That's the equation and how you balance it out. Stray from the equation and things fall out of balance.
>>
>>84250866
You could argue that right now he has more reasons to be happy than whe he was married.

His company is among the biggest in the world.
He's helping old friends and enemies get back on their feet and fix their mistakes.
He's literally changing the world with his inventions.
He's saving lives and making the world a better place for people around the globe with the Uncle Ben Foundation.

He went from "My life sucks but at least I have my wife" to not needing an "at least" at all. He's doing the great things he always had the potential to do and while most people call his book boring I'm loving every panel of it simply because I get to see Peter in a good place.

See thats why him being a teacher makes sense. He uses his genius to inspire the next generation while relying on a teachers salary. As a result he still has money problems!

>>84252522

>>

That's a very good solution to the money problem.
So now that we have solved the problem of Pete's money and kamala now means Pete is allowed to stay in a relationship does this mean Spiderman can be good again

yeah sorry if I came off as an aggressive ass. It simply pisses me off when people base of MJ from the 90s when everyone was written horribly... YET she is blamed by editorial for ruining spiderman when it was the shitty writing and storylines that caused that crap to fucking happen.

>>
>>84253242
Probably because they think he must be a manchild to make it relatable to the children, that are the only people that should ever find Spidey relatable

Honestly its really creepy of modern marvel, namely the 21st century guys have a huge fetish for a young childlike Peter. Which basically influenced the decision a great deal to keep him single.

like jesus fuck how many times have we heard Marvel Editorial saying that Peter should be in high school?

in the comics Peter stayed in HSC for like 2 years... in the TV shows that followed Peter stayed in College, the animated series, amazing friends, new animated series etc etc. The Raimi Spiderman films graduated him as well and ASM film series barely dwells on it.

Granted we got marvel adventures, ultimate spidey and spectacular spiderman showing his teenage years can be viable. But those are super recent and were only successful thanks to good writing. Even then Ultimate was slowly declining prior to Peter's death and so was marvel adventures spidey.

Look at the new cartoon Ultimate Spidey, its fucking shit. Its like they listened to te marketing team who went "hey kids like kids, make spidey a kid."

Even tho no kid really gives a shit if he is a teen or not. I know I for sure didn't and my younglings don't either.

The child was spirited away from them after birth and when they went to search for her they instead found aunt may who by that point had been dead a few years.

Now, allow me to pontificate.

Norman, recently revealed to still be alive and having just killed Ben Reiley, using stolen Jackal tech, more than likely force aged Baby May and implanted her with Aunt May's memories because that's how Jackal's clone tech roled. This however is just conjecture.

Fast forward, shit keeps happening, they never find their kid, Civil War happens and Kingpin puts a hit on Peter because he fucking hates him, and Aunt May gets shot instead.

Peter's deal with Mephisto is to bring Aunt May back from the brink of death AND to undo Peter's unmasking.

So, for their marriage, they get that plus whatever MJ whispered to Mephy about. And during the mystical hoodo of the deal, a girl appears before Peter telling him he screwed his chances of ever finding her and then everything changes.

Spider totems are important.

Mephisto wanted one.

He brought the real Aunt May back from the dead and claimed the now outside of reality soul of Peter and MJ's daughter...

Who is a Spider Totem.

A demonic spider girl called Itsy Bitsybis about to debut in Spider-Man Deadpool. After a Mephisto appearance teasing what he did.

I am right. Mephisto has baby May.

She whispered that she was the only one that could convince Peter to accept the deal, it was revealed in OMIT

Anyway, nice headcanon. There is a one in a trillion chance that it might actually happen, but I would be totally ok if it did
>>
>>84253958
Thanks. I've been sitting on it as an idea and thinking that has to be the whole real point of Mephisto's deal with the Parker's for years now.

This upcoming Itsy Bitsy character with demonic ties feels like true and utter vindication. And if the deal falls apart Norman gets giddy because e gets to remember just what he's done, than that would be great too.
>>
>>84253835
You know what sucks? We never got to see Pete follow up on his word to Kingpin
>>
>>84254256
They basically ignored everything that happened during Back in Black, including Peter talking with Aunt May and the OAA, so what did you expect?

the post clone saga, pre-JMS era managed to be more retarded than the clone saga itself, jesus
>>
>>84251245
i hope it retcons everything from that point onwards, it´s not like OMD cared about making sense in continuity after retconning so much stuff, so disregarding everything is valid, fuck the brand new day era, and fuck all the shitty slott OCs
>>
>>84251608
she cared about him,and had interesting conflicting emotions about peter being spiderman and risking his life, many writers wrote her badly but those elements were used correctly by the right writers,read kraven´s last hunt and JMS run, not to mention countless 80s stories, but if you want to see the pure love they had for each other read the ones i mentioned just for a taste of it

>>84253787
I was talking more in the first year or so of his appearance.
Or maybe my memory is playing tricks on me and he was in college from the start.
>>
>>84255794
no he was at midtown high at the very start. it was like What if Archie was a sociopath? levels of weird.
>>
>>84255794
No he was in Highschool at the start. Which was like 1963?

I know Stan made him go to college to capitalize in the college population's popularity.

How did they mess up her character so fucking badly
>>
>>84256613
They can't get her right in the comics, how the hell do you think they'd get her right in the movies?
>>
>>84256677
Slott and Quesada are responsible for the comics. But MJ was bastardized in the movies from the first one.
>>
>>84239776
>married superheroes have absolutely zero appeal

Yup, which is why I want Luke and Jessica separated. Bendis and Jessica have made Luke boring.
>>
>>84243696
When did MJ learn?
>>
>>84256613
Because they didn't write MJ, they just wrote a girlfriend for the protagonist leading to one of the worst romance of the history of cinema, I would add
Seriously, what did she had in common with the actual MJ?
She wanted to be an actress and a difficult family, and this second point is barely touched, literally just her screaming to her father for one second to never be referenced ever again
>>
>>84259267
She mentioned in 2 that her abusive family showed up to her play, even though Peter didnt.
>>
>>84259267
>Seriously, what did she had in common with the actual MJ?
Besides what you mentioned, nothing. Hell, she was a shit girlfriend and person in general. Yeah, she had family issues that were barely touched upon, but that doesn't excuse the shit she did. She got with Harry in the first movie and kissed Spider-Man behind his back, then was crushing on Spidey for the rest of the movie. At the end she wanted to get with Pete, who sperged out and told her that he couldn't be with her. Second movie comes around, and Pete tries to get her back and she says she's getting married and doesn't want to change her entire life just to be with him. Then her friend calls her out and says she doesn't really love John, so MJ decides that means it's time to try and kiss Pete while she's still engaged instead of confronting her fiance. End of the movie comes and she decides to abandon John on their wedding day just so she can go hook up with Pete. Movie 3 comes around and she spends a good portion of it shitting on Pete.

Somehow they managed to skip everything that made MJ great for some girl the protag (who wasn't really Peter, if we're getting into it) and the audience to jerk it to because redhead with braless titties. Sure, they didn't have a Gwen or Captain Stacey to kill to get Pete to flip out on her (until the third movie for some fucking reason), but they could have used Norman's death and Harry's hatred of Spider-Man to emulate that. No party girl facade whatsoever.

Raimi's MJ felt like a mix of Liz and Gwen, with the constant bitching at Peter. Raimi Gwen was damaged beyond repair and shouldn't have been introduced at all. But even then, at least 616 Gwen actually loved Peter even if she was boring. And when it came down to it, when MJ, Gwen, and Peter fought, they took the piss out of each other. It wasn't just MJ nagging Peter for whatever and Pete just taking it. He fought back too, and they got through it.

Watts has his work cut out for him.

>>84259267
he went to see her broadway show. asked for cash after.
>>
>>84259463
>>84259642
Point taken, I didn't really remember that scene
It still feel like a waste of a potentially interesting side-story for the movie.
It would have been much better having her dealing with her shitty family rather then having her "singing too softly"
>>
/r/ing the screencap about Mary Jane and Otto swapping bodies instead

>>84259782
Do it
>>
>>84260588
What
>>
>>84252627

No, this is the last arc when Peter finds out who kidnapped aunt may. And MJ's got good reason to be pissed considering what he's about to do and Felicia encouraging it.

Anon, that's just a law of the Marvel universe


Even the bitches of this species will be lusting after Spidey

It fucked it up in the sense that it literally brought him back and gave the exact same "he was hiding in Europe the entire time" excuse Norman got for his resurrection.

Carlie Cooper is named after Quesada's daughter. I think people are looking way more into it than it is though, it's just Quesada being lazy and anti-creative.

Same way he banned smoking in Marvel comics because his dad died of lung cancer.

Strange fucked with everyone's memory

I can't find the panel but we've already seen what will happen when/if Peter realizes what has happened.

In House of M. They showed that Peter what his life was like before everything changed and he freaked out big time.
>>
>>84261843
I heard House of M Pete got with Gwen and was pretty damn happy.

I never read HoM, Disassembled, or CW because I heard they were all utter shit and they were before I started reading comics
>>
>>84262000
I might actually be one of the few that enjoyed house of m. But i also read every tie in cause they all came in one big download.

Same with Civil War. And The Skrull invasion. The tie ins are what make it all fun.
>>
>>84261180
>Same way he banned smoking in Marvel comics because his dad died of lung cancer.
How the fuck can you be that insecure
Could you imagine if he was at vertigo when they wrote the dangerous habbits arc.
>>
>>84262000
And yeah he was pretty happy with Gwen. Had a child. But the thing about Peter is he'd rather live in reality than a fake world no matter how much better it may be.

He won't take his life being altered well. Even if it was (?) his choice.
>>
>>84261728
Yet despite being one of the best surgeons on the planet he couldn't fit a bullet wound
>>
>>84262114
>Civil War
It seemed like a cool concept, and I know it can be done well. My first exposure was with MUA2 and I thought it was cool as hell. And when Secret Invasion hit in EMH, I thought that was rad as hell. But then I came to /co/ and found out that both were shit.
>>
>>84262157
i never quite understood what happened in the HoM spidey tie in, he fakes his death to live peacefully with his family but in the main house of m story peter realizes the illusion and has a breakdown, was it an alternate universe of what would have happened if he embraced that fake universe?
>>
>>84261591
Adding on to this, does MJ still remember learing Peter's idendity while looking out the window?
>>
>>84251245
>The world remembers Peters public unmasking
this is the thing I want the most.
