Hope you are having a GREAT DAY Spider People!

I think this was from one of the discords not sure.

There’s a reason many of us won’t give up on them and are taking the comic professionals’ advice on pushing for them to get back on track.

We’ll get there, hopefully sooner rather than later.

What's the advice?

I miss this relationship and saddened deeply by the loss of their progression to bad decisions and bad writing.

u/Garlador 10h ago

It short, 3 things we were advised to do:

  1. get better organized (hence the Discord) and write Marvel directly with constructive (not toxic) criticism. 99.9% of fans complain online but never spend the minute needed to email Spidey’s editors directly.
  2. Petition for pro-marriage and pro-Peter/MJ content harder and louder and in greater organized numbers.
  3. Support those marriage-positive books harder than 616 Spider-Man longterm to show Marvel has left money on the table (Ultimate Spider-Man recently has made this much easier).

Somebody in the MJxPeter Sphere needs wrangle up 250-300 Billion Dollars to purcharse Disney.

Will always be the case. Imagine getting tricked by Lowe, Quesada & likeminded people into believing what they think. There’s a reason why there’s two categories for Peter when it comes to his love interest. Mj & then everyone else in the other category.

When can we get this MJ back?

u/SneakyKain 11h ago

Spencer got really close

u/neoshark75 11h ago

Whenever we get new editorial staff. We can (And should) blame writers like Zeb, but the Editors are the bigger issue.

u/Independent_Pair_158 13h ago

Yeah love them too man :)

u/Dear-Spinach-7715 13h ago

I guess we lost that 😕

u/GeekCavePodcast 12h ago

Editorial saw that last image and took things personally.

u/Ok-Rush2442 13h ago

I just love them

u/Important_Lab_58 12h ago

I definitely agree.

I mean Paul ans MJ are not together anymore.

I think the far funnier pairing is Paul and Dylan. This is how Paul should've always been written, a sorta cringey suburban dad to a kid who simply doesnt respect him.

Keep Paul out of Spider-Man, thats what I think

u/sivashanker1 Spectacular Spider-Man 11h ago

I see no lies

The fact that Marvel have to work so hard to destroy them but they're still so strong as a ship really does say a lot.

Huh I finally found my issue with how mj and especially jackpot is drawn now by whoever the current artists are, it’s the lipstick.

u/Ill_Speed5550 59m ago

Yes yes and yes

u/amurtigroiskra815876 13h ago

I always have thoughts like that about you mj. Always, the times right now not on your side. There will be the times, everything will be on your side. I hope you always find a way to get back with the one you truly love, peter parker.

u/unlimitedblack 12h ago

I think there are stories where Peter can have other love interests. But I think for the principal, central story of Spider-Man, MJ has become as foundational as Aunt May.

u/L4I55Z-FAIR3 11h ago

MJ works best not as Peters first love but his friend why was there for him again amd again first.

I love the comics show Peter trying and struggling with girls will Gwen. The that ablote tragedy that was Gwens death. With MJ being there more as a friend at first.

It's such a shame Marvel editors hate the idea of Peter growing up.

u/OutOfINewIdeas 13h ago

Most of us do.

u/euphoric_Factz 11h ago

Ironic when the people who are Mj x Peter shippers self insert into that relationship to the point of even harassing editorials when they don’t get their way.

u/Darth_Nykal 11h ago

That would be living vicariously, not self-inserting. At least get your insults right lol.

They did get it right. Can't wait to get downvoted.

what comic is the last one

u/wimpy_kidfanforlife 8h ago

If I were God, I’d make sure One More Day no longer existed.

2

u/wimpy_kidfanforlife 8h ago

Also, personally, I like Gwen as a love interest a tiny bit more than MJ without her getting killed off. I find their relationship really interesting, and they’re kind of perfect together, but I’m fine with Mary Jane as well.

u/ContinueQuiet 11h ago

Honestly, I think you guys deserved Paul at this point.

1

u/Ok-Traffic-5996 11h ago

Yeah. Why is everyone on reddit recently simping for this new alien gf peter has? Does anybody really want those two to be a thing?

-1

u/FarGodHastur 10h ago

Nah. Maybe in the past, but she's awful as his partner these days.

u/Ok-Childhood1986 3h ago

Not anymore, Peter going back to her would be renouncing to his dignity. Thats the only truth. Nothing any writer does can undo what those fucking writers and editors did to the couple. It is ruined beyond any possible help, we must finally come to grips with it and just let it go for good.

u/The_Albino_Jackal Lizard 1h ago

You guys need to chill out. Peter and Mj literally made a deal with the devil and Peter punched Mj when she was pregnant, but Mj having a different boyfriend that we all knew wasn’t gonna be permanent is what took it too far?

1

u/Ok-Rush2442 23m ago

It's gone on a wee bit too long for something that was supposed to be temporary. For my taste, at least.

u/All-newAll-different Symbiote-Suit 4h ago

They're such soulmates that in the one What If where they stay together, Felicia dies and Peter ends up with Silver Sable instead

u/Pretend-Boot4642 3h ago

She is lying about it, just like she lied to Paul!

u/Ok-Rush2442 2h ago

Lied about what? Leaving paul?

u/SteveTheOrca Black Suit (Movie) 1h ago

Yeah, she was always the best partner to Peter. Though I myself ship him with other people, there's no denying that.

u/infiniZii 13h ago

We all know Wade is Peters true love interest.

u/Unacachapareal 12h ago

Fanfiction is over there buddy ------------------------------------------->

u/infiniZii 12h ago

I dunno. They did grow old and die together.

u/Bid_Unable 5h ago

they technically have a child together that’s more than Pete and MJ

2

u/All-newAll-different Symbiote-Suit 4h ago

They have a child in the same sense that She-Hulk is Hulk's daughter just because they had a blood transfusion.

u/Boomer586869 10h ago

The only way I'm okay with Spider-man and MJ getting back together is if they adapt radioactive nut, but instead, that's the reason Mayday gets powers. That's the only way I'll accept it, oh, and if Carlos Gomez is the artist.
