Spidey Revisions
EDIT: The images should be working now.

Over at Spider-Man Crawl Space, they're doing "Spidey Revisions"--fixing the continuity of past comics to make them linear with the current status quo. That is, that Peter and MJ were never married and just lived together instead (but besides that nothing changed!).

First I'll present the original page, and then the redone version.

From Spectacular Spider-Man #194:







Dan Slott himself (who frequents the forums occasionally) said this in response:

"As for that scene from SPEC– joking aside– the new dialogue would probably be something with a similar romantic sentiment (in a comics code approved way) that wouldn’t involve marriage– for example, Peter asking MJ if she would 'spend the night' with him for the first time– and she’d say something back about how she’s already 'spent the night' with him before– and he tell her something as equally mushy, like how for him every time she 'spends the night' it’s like the first time.
It’s fun to joke about this stuff– and pretty easy to take shots too. But if you just look at it for a second and use a little imagination, you can find a suitable parallel that keeps the spirit and tenor of the scene."

From Amazing Spider-Man #406 (keep in mind MJ never got pregnant in the continuity):






And finally, from Web of Spider-Man #50:

Right. Because "Have sex with me!" "But we already did!" "So let's do it again (because I like orgasms)!" is totally emotionally equivalent to "Let's promise to share the rest of our lives, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in continuity and in retcons." "But we already did!" "So let's do it again (because I can't promise to love and cherish you forever too many times)!".

Forget women; I'm pretty sure these guys don't understand people, period. Men don't work like that, right? Right?

Absolutely. My husband was the one who wanted marriage because of love; I saw marriage as just a legal contract. To people who feel the way he did, marriage is a definite step that means something. It's absence means Peter MUST NOT have really felt that strongly about MJ.

Well, for the record, I'm pretty sure I don't work like that. I can't speak for the rest of the male gender.
