Spider-Man: One More Day

[Venom65437]

"One More Day" is going to be JMS last story on Spidey, with Joe Q drawing (whom I don't like)

They're going to kill MJ, or break them up, or some other lame stupid thing so Pete and MJ aren't together because it's what Joe Q wants, everything else be damned. I don't trust that fat [Censored] as far as I can throw him. I'm so confident of this I'd bet my precious copy of Amazing Spider-Man #300 he does it.

One More Day? More like one more JMS comic I won't be buying. No thanks.

And yeah, I wouldn't be shocked if this is some stunt by Q to undo the marriage somehow. But then, if it is, it would be a definitive statement about the entire JMS run. Is there anything about this character he hasn't broken, really?

[Venom65437]

I actually think JMS has done a lot of good.... he didn't come up with Civil War, or doing off with MJ.

He's the one who actually brought MJ back, and wrote several good entertaining stories.

That doesn't give him a free pass on Sins Past mind you, but I think it's a pretty safe bet that will never be mentioned again.

The Spider-Totem crap, for the most part I wasn't too crazy about, but I think it was more of a different way to look at it, rather than being presented as absolute truth.

[Gray Lensman]

Hmm. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to lay most of the blame on Q, cause he's the worst offender when it comes to Spidey. JMS still has done nothing for me, though.

I always felt turning Spidey into Totem-Man was a bad idea, honestly. It wrecks the whole point of the character. Which is, that he's a regular guy that came into his powers by chance. He's the guy who could be anyone. Give him a mystical destiny, and it defeats the whole purpose.

Sins Past was a disaster, and wrecked Gwen utterly. I hope it ends up getting retconned, or at least ignored from now on. It could have been a good story about Peter accepting responsibility for his past, and instead it was just a mess.

[Venom65437]

Well, Sins Past was SUPPOSED to have Peter be the father, that is what JMS wanted, and that's why Gabriel looked a lot like Peter. However that was shot down so I guess JMS did the next best thing in his mind.

If they weren't going to let him use Peter they should have canceled the whole story, IMO. But I don't know all the circumstances behind it.

I love that. Instead of being a stupid, illogical, awfuly written story who screwed up a supporting character and a villain it would've been a stupid, illogical, awfuly written story who screwed up the main hero and the supproting character.

Putting an end to it it's probably the only good thing Quesada has done with Spider-man.

[Venom65437]

I still think that would have been better than Norman being the father. It's not like Peter was a virgin before he married MJ.

I'm not saying it would have been a good idea either way. Personally I'm not a big fan of the idea period, but oh well. Like I said before, this will probably never be mentioned again once JMS is gone.

This doesn't really relate to the topic but I am damn curious..

How the heck can you not have virgin ears?

Sorry for the distraction. Keep discussing that sure to be a monster sales hit and a bad story

[Elliot Kane]

No-one even think of answering that! ;D

[Venom65437]

Well, it's quite easy see first the guy unzips his pants, and... oh, hey, I gotta go.

From here, you can vaguely guess why Peter's wearing the black suit and other speculation and all that.

You're mean to tempt me... but I'm not going to look.
