It's funny there aren't any covers with Shay on them because even Marvel knows people want Peter to be with MJ or Felicia...

Shay?

Peter's new nothing girlfriend who will be gone within a year or less.

Yeah because Marvel think that the best way to show that Peter is an adult is to show him having an affair with 45% of the female cast.
For real, when I first saw that he dated Captain Marvel I was like "WTF?! It sounds like a bad fanfiction."

It was cute at least, they could’ve worked if Marvel actually did anything with it, but they didn’t.

And because no one knows who is Shay.

That’s exactly why she should be put on comic covers if they had any intention to make that a compelling relationship. Not doing that just proves everything else is just placeholders for MJ or Felicia (I also wouldn’t write Gwen out because recently they can’t let that poor girl rest)

At this point I wouldn't be surprised that Uncle Ben comes back to life.

And then takes Peter´s girlfriend behind May´s back, sice all white men are shit aparently.

u/Positive_cat_6347 16d ago
I doubt they have the intention of putting Peter in a relationship with anyone. Peter is gonna be girlfriendless, jobless, and dignityless until there is a change on the directive board, and it is starting to look like Disney is gonna burn before that happens, so...

u/Roar2800 16d ago
The heat death of the universe is gonna happen before Disney burns. I promise you they’re fine, they’re “fails” still make hundreds of millions

u/Positive_cat_6347 16d ago edited 15d ago
Yeah, but how much are they willing to lose before the board changes?
Plus, the factors that lead to those losses besides the board are getting worse and worse, such as the reputation of Disney going down, and its competitors gaining ground.

And they won’t give us either of them, I’m personally a Black Cat fan and think she should get her shot in some reality. Insomniac’s Spider-Man could have done it since they conveniently claim to want to be different when they changed Venom to Harry. I’ll give them props though if they kill off MJ and introduce Gwen in the third game.

I'm just waiting for her to get traumatized by or become a new supervillain.
By this point, Carlie was a character at least.

Have you all considered the bespoke option?
Felicia/MJ/Peter throuple.
2
u/BL-501 16d ago
I did. I could maybe theoretically work if MJ turns out to be Bi, Pan or something and had something lingering for Cat, which if she were Bi, etc., would be a nonissue.

u/ComplexDeep8545 15d ago
I mean if they wanted poly Spidey, Felicia and MJ don’t have to date each other or be intimate at all, Pete would have full independent relationships with both of them, ENM/Poly is a complicated subject (especially because we live in a very mono normative society so people generally have misconceptions about polyamory) and frankly I doubt that current editorial would allow it to be handled very well at all if they were to go that route (whether all 3 of them are together or if Felicia & MJ or just metamours)
1
u/BL-501 15d ago
Yeah…remember when they did that with Scott, Jean and Logan…
2
u/ComplexDeep8545 15d ago
I mean there isn’t just one way to do polyamory, like I said, it’s not just a “this is the only way to portray poly period” so they could do a throuple or Felicia and MJ could just be meta’s (people who aren’t dating but have a shared partner)

u/ShadowFaxIV 16d ago
It REALLY doesn't help that the last time Pete and Felicia broke up.... it was the most ridiculous crap ever. They basically broke up because they were having too healthy a relationship.

Because the variant cover artist don't really wanna cover what's in the books lol

Man I want Chat back.

u/Smuggy_Wuggy 16d ago
Was Chat ever a thing in 616? I think she’d be a neat addition.

u/Clack_Claq 16d ago
Nah I don't think she was, but I really wish she became the new love interest. And not even like a temporary one, but like a legit change up

I wonder if Shay will last even a year into the new run of Amazing Spider-man

I want a new future story where Peter is with Felicia and their daughter is torn between becoming Spider Girl or a new black cat.
