	Wow, female typecasting in movies - the very issue handled by May in JMS' run! OH THE IRONY. And speaking of - does any English person ever say Cor Blimey without irony or sarcasm, as above? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Alright - but do any of us use 'Me' for 'My' or 'Was' for 'Were', apart from kids? I don't hear it often. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And JMS had Lobster Man, so his story's automatically superior. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

There's a good unintentional meta-joke in that story - they keep mentioning Pierce Brosnan being on set. Pierce had previously played Lobster Man inn order to fool a band of pirate shrimp on his guest episode the sublime Muppets Tonight. He had a giant claw-catapult to add to the awesome.

Although the story I was thinking of was "The Book of Ezekiel", where May specifically tells MJ she'd be suited for the stage.

	Also - can we get a moratorium on American actresses playing English parts because they're famous? We've got hundreds of fantastic British actresses in meager roles, and I don't think I ever want to see Paltrow or Nicole-Smith in a Britain-set film with a fake accent ever again. (I don't ever want to see them in ANY film again anyway, but that's another story...) (Reply to this) (Thread)

This is just...really, really stupid. Mainly because right from the beginning we weren't told WHY Peter and MJ split, but we were told, from Peter himself, that it was his fault. So why in the world would Aunt May be upset with MJ? Also, they've shown that MJ knows that Peter is Spider-man and seem to be implying that she remembers other things as well, so the, "If I wanted to play the wife..." line really irks me. Mary Jane LOVED being married. She had actually stated before that she loved being married. The whole POINT of One More Day was that Peter and MJ's marriage was so awesome that the freaking DEVIL wanted to take it away from them. So please stop showing MJ as the party girl type who wants to hook up with big movie star studs instead of being "tied down" by being married. I could rant a lot more, but I think I'll stop for now...

	That's MJ? Wow I thought they canceled Spider-man since #545 and the Spidey characters never appeared in any titles since. (Reply to this) (Parent)

To be honest, the "party-girl" MJ hooking up with bozos is something I've been dreading since she came back. Especially if she does remember the marriage and is using her "image" as a movie star/model to get over her grief. I can totally see Queseda and Co. doing that. The thing is - presenting MJ as a sympathetic loving figure and Peter as a douche will just make readers look fondly on what Queseda doesn't want them to - the marriage. So, yeah, I feel nervous about what the "Rape Is Not Rape but really Romantic Comedy" writers are going to do to her.

And also - I know the feeling (about the ranting part). Bad writing always does that, doesn't it?

	It reminds me of how Quesada made MJ the one who actually says "Yes" to Mephisto, essentially throwing her character under the bus so people mad about the deal could blame her--"See, she didn't really WANT to be married anymore, yadda yadda, it's always the woman's fault."

I'm hoping "who remembers what" will be at least partially answered. I remember someone (Dan Slott?) saying we'd learn what MJ whispered to Mephisto in 2009.

So why in the world would Aunt May be upset with MJ?

It could be May just *thinks* it's somehow Mary Jane's fault, as May no longer knows Peter is Spider-Man. Peter proposed to Mary Jane, Mary Jane said no and moved to California. Sounds like MJ's fault to me.

And what Peter remembers about who knew his secret identity before Civil War... well, if the Spider-creators don't care, then I don't care.

	Well, one positive I can say--the way they show the letter with MJ's aunt speaking to the reader's kinda cool. Haven't seen that in a comic to the best of my knowledge. The rest is shitty re-hash. (Reply to this)
