Political cartoon regarding the Big Buyout
After the cut, a political cartoon regarding the big "Disney buys Marvel" story.

For legality.

This panel is from AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #153. Mary Jane is angry over Peter ditching her at a party (hosted by J. Jonah Jameson) two issues back. With the whole "Mary Jane knew Peter's secret all along" reveal, this anger is really concern and worry over Peter constantly risking his life as Spider-Man. Does this make Mary Jane more complex?

	Realism does not necessarily mean more interesting. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	...I'm confused. Was there a reference to realism in the OP? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Did I post to the wrong thing again? darnit...wait...ah. I was referring to this: With the whole "Mary Jane knew Peter's secret all along" reveal, this anger is really concern and worry over Peter constantly risking his life as Spider-Man. Does this make Mary Jane more complex?

I feel that it is an added complexity to her character if we take into account all the retcons, but I do not feel it is now nor ever was a particularly interesting characterization. I would be much happier with Mary Jane a simpler character who neverneverneverneverneverEVER wailed about the danger of Peter's secret life again.
