On the contrary, I am merely subverting it. Directly contradicting it is a good way to go too, though, and may become necessary if Michelle explicitly states in the comic that she had never previously been attracted to Peter. Though if we're going to go with direct contradiction, we might as well rewrite everything so it's MJ and they're still married.
Was my use of the term "devil's advocate" and my 3 caveats not sufficiently clear that I'm not exactly loving the direction the writers are going?
