My feelings on this are generally well-known on this board.

Suffice to say, I'd have to think long and hard before buying anymore Spider-man comics and Marvel in general if this happens.  I am writing letters because I think it will.  Joe Q. whether he likes the idea or not, seems to like to ok ideas which will get people talking. I believe the far majority of current fans want him married to MJ, but a vocal and sincere minority does not. I believe of creators, the majority don't want him married 

That fact would not deter Q. He likes events that are controversial, talked about, and ultimately get people to buy to see "It can't really be true, can it?"  Since that is the case, I believe he will do this to get people talking.

And then my decision comes into play, because it really is that important to me. I walked away once before when Ben Reilly would have replaced Peter Parker to be fair I also lacked funds and the Clones were killing me).

Having read Spider-man and Peter Parker for 21 years and loved him closer to 26, it would be a very, very difficult decision to make but one I feel might be necessary. In the meantime, I will continue the letters

Again, I feel it's time to evoke the words of Stan Lee: Never give the fans
what they think they want.

****

I also have a ton of Stan's Sopaboxes that say the fans are the truth editors and that we should let Marvel know what we want because that makes all the difference so nyaahh.

Pus the marriage was Stan's idea anyway, and he writes it every day. 

As far as negating the marriage, regardless of his personal feelings on the matter, Quesada has already said he's not going to go do be doing anything about it.

I think the fact that both Q and JMS are quoted in Wizard discussing the marriage negatively says a lot.

I think the fact that Civil War will want to end on a bang like "No More Mutants" also says a lot.

I think the fact that 2006 was said to end with the "biggest genie being put into the bottle that you didn't think we could put into the bottle and that will cause controversy" also says a lot.

Plus, people change their minds, and he has before.

If he really though the marriage was hasty and not put together well (which it was somewhat), despite their history and previous proposal by Pete that MJ turned down, then you think he would be consistent and not rush Black Panther and Storm, who have all of one meeting from around the time I was born in their background,  into a marriage this year. He might, instead of quickly retconning a six issue mini, give it a couple of years to grow.

If he really thought the marriage aged Peter so much, then he might tell his head writer Bendis "Stop saying Peter is 30 years old" when he doesn't have to be.

Besides the fact that he already allowed Spider-totem, Gwen becoming a whore (easily ignored ok true), Aunt May to find out, changes in Spider-man's powers TWICE (the first seemingly ignored by everyone only to have THE OTHER do it a year later in almost the same way), mystical mubo jumbo "you must become the Spider" and Spider-pincers, et al.  I mean really.   These things changed some fundamental things as well, for better or worse.

I mean, truthfully, Spider-man needs some good stories, good art, maybe not make him completely miserable as Peter and Spidey. He is a character who sells and reaches people when he has things going good and always has.  Other guys may need revisitings to keep relevant-he has always been relevant. The last generation of young fans grew up with and accepted and bought tons of married Spider-man.  Unfortunately, most people cannot seem to tell these stories without making MJ a whiner or a bitch (early Michielienie notwithstanding).

(Truthfully, JMS writes a very good marriage, for all his other faults).

Or to put it another way, Spidey was known for his memorable villains and great supporting cast.  Maybe Joe should ask himself, which the marriage doesn't affect, why has not a single memorable Spider-man villain been created since Venom (or arguably Carnage)? 

Why besides MJ and Aunt May (and recently some New Avengers) does Spider-man have no supporting cast?  They moan about that in Wizard. JMS of all people!!!!!   Oh, he had such a good supporting cast and now they are all gone.

Yeah, Harry and Gwen are dead. On the other hand, that didn't stop JMS from using Gwen.  Harry should probably stay dead since Norman is back but....

there is Betty, Liz, little Normie, Norman Osborn, JJJ, Robbie Robertson, Joe Robertson, Felicia Hardy, Curt Connors, Flash, Richard Fisk, Kingpin, Daredevil Johnny Storm, Punisher, many classic villains, John Jameson, Roderick Kingsley, Gloria from the Bugle, Prowler, Ben and Phil Urich, Mark Raxton (Molten Man)-all supporting cast, interesting  allies with history, or villains with history all unused almost entirely by JMS. Not to mention others.  JMS introudced-no one-no cuple they could hang out with, no friends, nothing, nobody at the school Peter teaches at. 

What a mature way to say that, counsellor.

JM I was just kidding. I typed with a smile on my face.   I should have used this ;)
