OK … so Peter and MJ dated and everything, they just never got married, then they carried on dating. They had all the loving and the sex and everything, just not the piece of paper.
So what’s stopping them getting married now?
And it’s in Peter’s interest to, isn’t it? Because Mephisto can give him something cool in exchange for that marriage, too. Peter needs to keep getting married, then swapping the marriage for something awesome, everyone but him forgets, gets married the next day. It’s great.
No … not ‘great’? What’s the word? Oh yes - ‘an ill-thought through load of old cobblers’.
I actually like that Mary Jane laundry statue…. I think all that message board hoopla over it being “too risque” or “degrading to women” seemed kinda over-reactive to me…. it’s a statue marketed towards adult men… and it’s damn sexy… plus, it’s funny…
But I agree with you that the little interest I actually had in Spidey is gone… Marvel Comics never could hold a candle to DC in my book…
I liked the creepy, pseudo-sexy way McFarlane drew Mary Jane in the early nineties. Big hair, shoulder pads, hoop earrings… and side-boob! The man found a way to put side-boob in every issue.
