Ok just saw the spoiler text

>>85971807
They all look high in that picture

Spider-man is man child fodder
Peter has to be one way or someone loses it

>>85971807
>>One has been being fucked over by writers throughout her entire existence
It ain't fair, bros.

>>85972012
Daredevil sure didn't

>>85971807
Green Lantern's maybe.

>>85972249
Has Hal had any other longterm relationship other than Carol?
Not Arisa. Spacebait doesn't count

And Kyle got over that refrigerating pretty quick.

>>85971807
You see, it's shit like this that makes me really hate comics.

A girlfriend/wife is exactly what Peter needs because it would hurt him the most.
His whole life is a tug between responsibility and what he wants.
That struggle is what makes Spider-man interesting.
But we never see it developed for any amount of time because comics have hack writers.

>>85972282
John Stewart had Katma.

But either way it takes like three different green lanterns to reach Spidey's level of screwed over girlfriends.

Balance and what not.

Superman's most potent superpower is actually "Super-disappointment".
No one can withstand that.

There's a short comic with great art about Superman's first contact with Captain Marvel. When he finds out that Billy is just a boy, he unleashes the full power of Super-disappointment on the Wizard

>>85971867
There's nothing TO MJ other than being "Spidey's love interest"

>>85972736
I mean, there aren't a lot to other supporting characters with development that don't end up as villains.

MJ is spunky and wants Peter.
That's enough.

>>85975698

Black Cat is shit.
He's the antithesis to Spider-man.
With great power comes fucking steal shit, man.

Yeah, not Peter

>>85972314
>A girlfriend/wife is exactly what Peter needs because it would hurt him the most.
IMHO his journey was complete and it was perfect. There was nothing wrong with him becoming a forensics expert/teacher/co and May Parker taking over

>>85975840
Black cat is not shit. black cat is pailful or justifiably angry because parker fucked her over somehow.
>With great power comes fucking steal shit, man.
That is bit disingenuous but fine. opposites attract and if Peter was a good earner she would stop stealing shit. maybe just do security tests (like she sometimes does)

>>85975856
I agree.
Peter would say absolutely no at first, but then would agree as she reminded him of himself.
And he'd join her from time to time when things became serious.

God damn, that's be fucking good.

>just read Spider Family and Spider-Girl "What If"
This shit feels pretty damn good. Why exactly couldn't this keep going?

>>85975930
Of course opposites attract.
Peter always feels the need to stop trying to be Spider-man.
To not care about New York.
It's always the temptation and that's what Felicity represents.
The "Fuck it" desire of Peter.
You're superstrong, fast, and buff. Why not make the world your oyster?
That's what Peter was before Uncle Ben died.

That person is always inside him and Black Cat calls to that part of Peter.

But he can't ever say yes. Black Cat should always be extremely attractive and reasonable. Because that's what giving up sounds like.
But Peter should never go with it. At least, not forever.

>>85976058
Because Marvel execs look at the baseline Spider-man formula and look at how it sustained the brand for almost half a century.
Then they say "Never ever change it. It's made us money so far. Don't kill the Golden Goose"

>>85975840
>>85975930
The problem I have with Black Cat, especially now, is that it is a longer flirtatious version of the very thing that started Peters career as Spiderman.

Peter lets what at the time appears to be a petty thief go for his own personal gratification. And then later that same thief turns out to be capable of much worse.

And if they actually used that angle. Addressed the fact that through his actions or inaction's Peter feels responsible for what Black Cat has been doing. Maybe they could salvage something story wise from this current period in Spider-Mans life. But they don't and am almost certain they won't, so it's just Peter turned his head the other way and let bad things happen and to some extent learned little to nothing from one of the defining moments of his life.

>>85976012
>God damn, that's be fucking good.
And thus, will never happen.

>>85976012
>Peter would say absolutely no at first, then be brutally reminded of how evil Normie is when she gets Goblin Bombed some time later

>>85976531
Jesus.
In a hypothetical situation where Norman is alive and kills Mayday Parker...
God damn. I cannot think of a hero's retribution that would be more brutal

>>85971807
Gwen wasn't killed by mandate, it was just something Conway did when Stan was overseas. StAn had planned for her to marry Pete.

>>85976568
That would literally be his supervillain origin. I almost want it to happen because of how fucking brutal that best down would be. It'd make Grim Hunt Peter seem like 60's Spidey.

>>85976568
>>85976759

It's not ever gonna be real, but thinking about it actually bothers me. God damn.
It'd be like Back in Black dialed up to 100.

Peter's real super power, is super suffering.

>>85976089
That's what makes her so good, she represents spider-man's internal struggle and actually brings some good conflict to the table, rather than the same old "omg MJ/gwen if i love you you'll never be safe from my enemiees"

>>85976759
>>85976796
This is why I'd love a Spider-man series that goes all of Peter's life without ever retconning. Just unforgiving continuity.

I think that Peter's potential for evil is higher than pretty much any other hero.
Look at him before he was Spider-man. He was practically gunning to Columbine the place up.
Ben's death was what saved him.

If his daughter died, he's expand that prerogative of "Great responsibility" to killing everyone who'd ever raise a hand in violence to anyone.
Any super villain, any mugger, any lowlife with ambitions.
He'd be like the Flash in Kingdom Come. Everywhere in New York. Not a single moment anyone could think to act out without expecting the wrath of the Spider

Peter would recognize that what he was doing was wrong, but he accept the sin. If he were religious (which he sometimes is), he'd accept his soul's damnation. Great responsibility.

>>85976123
Except they've killed the fucking Goose several fucking times. They killed MJ when Byrne was writing and he made Mattie try fucking Pete, then they had them separated during the start of the JMS era. And OMD was when Quesadilla just said "fuck it" and wanted Peter to live out his fantasy life because he either hated being married or wanted Peter to live out his fucked up bachelor life. Also Brevoort has said controversy sells, but Spider-Man is now dipping into the 70k in "sales" which may not be cancellation numbers, but for Spider-Man? Those are terrible.

>>85977166
They weren't trying to kill the Goose.
All of those were trying to put it back together.
The Golden Goose according to Marvel is the perpetual origin story to Spider-man.
Teenager, great power, great responsibility, juggling highschool, girlfriend he wants but can't have.

That's the Golden Goose.

Anything that changes that for a long time kills that Goose.
He's out of High School? Goose dies, better restart it by retcon.
Wife instead of semi on semi off girlfriend? Goose dies, better restart.

Spider-man is always about the reliability to a 15 year old.
That's what comics are all about.
It worked on me then. It probably worked on you too.
You still buying?
Then it worked forever.
They want a new generation to keep going. To grow up to be us.

Peter was always on the edge.

It's no surprise that his character always teeters on the edge of a murderous rampage.

Really though, all this talk makes me want an ongoing of a real continuity Spider-man story.
For Peter at 15 being bit to him at 50.
What happens?

>>85977271
The problem was that they saw that while Peter was married in the 80s he was still selling well. It's only when the lead up to 90s Marvel that lead them to believe that a single Spider-Man was necessary so they used the plot that a couple writers came up with to have the clone come back for a brief story and fuck shit up. Ultimate also was a alternate universe so they got away with basically rehashing all of the Amazing storylines over the years into a compressed the fuck out of single in-universe year.

That's certainly how Erik Larsen thinks about it. He publicly said as much. When he got his hands on the character, he did everything he could to turn back the clock short of actual time-manipulation. One would think that if Marvel is so dedicated to this idea, they would create an in-story excuse using magic or radioactive DNA to keep Peter perpetually young. That is exactly what happened over at DC with Superboy who was genetically engineered to remain a teenager forever. Instead, we keep getting these painfully contrived acts of peeling back Peter's skin every few years by writers who really should know better.

You'd probably just get the Mayday Parker universe. But I'd also read Old Man Logan style Spider-man with Grunkle style Pete teaching new heroes what responsibility actually means--not wearing a costume, but putting your life on the line. Doing it for good, not for glory. Pure street level goodness.

>yfw grizzled Police Chief style Pete working with J. Jameson Junior/Man wolf to train a new generation of heroes and clean up New York

Parkerfags are the biggest fucking babies I swear. As if he's special in ANY of those regards, yet you guys are the only ones making weekly threads to circlejerk over how hard your favorite hero has it.

I very rarely see any discussion of the character here that isn't "my favorite girl is best," "Spider-Man could totally win this fight," and "Parker has the worst life of any superhero ever how does he cope?"

Are you kidding? MJ was the empowered, modern feminist before people knew what that was.

She's a strong female that leads her own life but shares and is a partner with Peter.

>>85977837
This page, FUCK.
This was the absolute worst.

Honestly to this day Peter should FUCKING HATE Wanda. Not that I even think they hang out or fight together. But when he does see her he just stare her the fuck down flip over a piece of furniture and then leave.

>>85979271

It's the end of it.
It's after reality gets set back on course.
It's when Peter had just been living his perfect life.
>Married to Gwen with a family
>Publicly respected as a hero
>Famed scientist
>MJ was never stuck with him and she went on to be a famous model and celebrity
>JJJ worked for him
Just the best life you could expect for him

And that page is what happened when it was all taken away and his original life came back to him but he could remember what he just had.

But this MUTIE lover >>85979416 thinks there's no reason to hold a grudge.

Fuck silk, her creation was just fucking stupid. If I were to write her out I would do it in such a way just to piss off slott.

Spider man uses science to send him back to his dimension of a one bed room apartment filled with badly drawn silks on the wall stacks of fan fiction.

How is this a self insert quality when the majority of fans aren't super scientists?

because they want to be (actually they just think they want to be it'd actually be pretty boring if they weren't into it). I think the other anon meant the wish-fulfillment sort of self insert.
