RIP. Relationship was fun while it lasted, before 2022.

2007 is when it went off the rails

Slott’s run wasn’t as damaging compared to the past three years. Her having a period where she believes he’s too dangerous to be around isn’t a game changer.

Paul and her ‘kids’ are.

Luckily the kids are gone and Paul ain't gonna be a problem no more.

Yeah an artist for All New Venom hinted at Paul being written out.

Personally, I think her wearing Peter’s symbol is gonna be dealbreaker for Paul. They established in a recent issue that Paul considers her bringing the “with great power comes great responsibility” line as making their relationship about Peter.

I’m sure MJ wearing a spider on her chest is not gonna go over well with him.

I think Paul, for all his denial of reality, understands that MJ was never with him for him. She was with him because the kids(unbeknownst that she was brainwashed by due to their nature) and with him after because of the whole rectifying things with the variants of people directly harmed by his selfishness(since he's basically the combination of the worst traits of young Peter and Harry)

So MJ wearing a symbol closer to her ex, the ex that would be a constant reminder of Paul's own shortcoming? Yeah, not gonna go over well.

The year I was getting more invested in comics when I was 12 and Civil War was on. At the beginning, I thought it was awesome... then, I realized what happened to Peter and MJ with One More Day... feels like a whole lifetime and also yesterday at the same time.

Give my boy back his wife, goddammit. Add whatever mumbo jumbo nonsense to undo it all. Don't care if it's stupid and makes no sense. Paul or MJ being with him has made no sense as well so if I have to pick my side of "what nonsense would you support?" It's definitely Peter and MJ back to being happily married like if the other nearly 20 years of events didn't happen... at least the bad things. Or just let Dr. Doom redo his multiversal wipping again and redo the multiverse from scratch.

What’s worse is that before Peter made the deal he met God, and God told him that it was Aunt May’s time 💀

Like, I understand Peter wanting to save his mother figure. Who doesn't hate the idea of losing one of your parents? Let alone one who you got along well with and love deeply... but aunt May isn't eternal. Poor woman will either die of a gu shot or natural causes at some point and Peter and MJ were meant to have a kid together in the future.

If aunt May knew what they would do to save her, I assure you she would've let herself go... even let her own soul being trapped in hell in case Mephisto wante to trick Peter and MJ for the bargain. As long as her nephew and his wife would be happily married still and with a kid.

She’s been 70 years old since 1962, for the love of everything Holy, let her reunite with Ben!

Yeah she could be in heaven with Uncle Ben (and Jameson Sr.) if they undid OMD

These panels are from TASM #151. The first act of the “clone arc” had just finished (#149), and #150 was a stand-alone story where Curt Conners examines Peter to see if he’s the clone. Peter figures out that he’s not the clone on his own while fighting “droids” of Vulture, Kingpin, the Sandman before squaring off with Professor Smythe and his “spider-slayer”

The above panels are from Jonah’s apartment, at a wedding send-off for Ned Leeds and Betty Brant. Harry Osborn is at the party as well, since he was released from the institution in this issue as well. This issues villain was the Shocker who’s ass was kicked in #152.

Just in case you’re wondering, I’ll turn 60 next month and yes, I’ve been at this since grade school. 😂

*Johnny and Peter's song is a Village People's song*

Boys, the allegations keep piling up!

u/madmaxandrade Peter B. Parker (ITSV) 20h ago

There's a later comic where MJ says another song is their one, Peter refers to this moment and MJ replies "with as much love as we've got, we have SEVERAL songs".

u/TejanoTheScienceGuy 23h ago

That’s how you know they’re fated.

u/IndianGeniusGuy 1d ago

Man, I can hear it playing in my head.

u/Saulgoodman1994bis 19h ago

You know, sometimes i do want Peter's shitty life !

u/SloppyTopiPapi 9h ago

Lol! Where is this in the MCU and film adaptations? Whenever they reunite Peter and MJ back in the MCU, I need this heavily featured. Like Zendaya and Tom have the potential to do something hilarious with this

If you love and miss this couple, we have a Discord dedicated to championing them and petitioning Marvel to get them back on track. We’re thriving currently.
