The whole dumb MJ plane crashing reminds me that the dark secret of the Peter and Mary Jane marriage is that no one knew what the gently caress to do with it until JMS which is why Marvel felt entirely justified in getting rid of it (despite the marriage being not only an integral part of JMS' run but arguably the best part) I guess people remember it being way more of a thing due to Spider-Girl or whatever but for like the entire 90's/early 2000's it was basically really bad set dressing for other unrelated stories or home of fantastic plots like treating Mary Jane's smoking addiction like she was heavy into crack cocaine.

Tamaki's Laura is actually a bit more of a middle ground between old New X-Men/X-23 solo Laura and All-New Wolverine Laura. Still has all the development of the latter but is way more terse and less snarky than Taylor's take. It's an interesting shift.

pretty sure the idea is that those are the kind of jokes trans/non-binary/generally queer kids get to make due to it being a sarcastic jab at the gender binary and not the kind of jokes an old white cisgender dude gets to make while trying and failing to sound "with it" It's not bigoted just ignorant and embarrassing.

I guess my response would be - None of these changes make Venom not a flawed human bonded with a weird alien thing trying to find justice in a world that doesn't understand him - We had a pretty good year of solid if unremarkable Venom comics (I think the only really stand-out being the issue from the symbiote's point of view) before the big shake up. - "Venom but 400 of him" has been a part of the character since the 90's I'm essentially saying I don't see how any of that's a problem.

I find Hulk kind of fascinating in just how little consistency there was, even in the "classic" Marvel Lee/Kirby/et all days. He'd just change abilities, personalities, everything arc to arc to arc, while you had other heroes like the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man who more or less were fully formed within a year of their books starting out. It's sort of fostered this idea where, to this day, I think the core of the Hulk as a character is change. Sure, dumb childish "HULK SMASH" is the one in the pop culture mindscape because it shows up the most in non-comics media, but even that version of the character pops up only occasionally. Honestly at this point it feels like there's just as many Smart Hulk stories as there are Dumb Hulk ones. Blockhouse fucked around with this message at 04:09 on Nov 23, 2018 |

counterpoint: Gerry Duggan's Guardians of the Galaxy was a banger but Infinity Wars has, outside of the Warped minis, been bad and forgettable, largely due to external circumstances (the art, the obvious shift in direction from a GOTG storyline to a linewide event, Duggan's plans for characters clearly being changed for him) Like once an event becomes an Event the book's creative team doesn't really guarantee anything because more than ever they exist at the whim of editorial and corporate

the other problem is 99% of the time when the book looked at Peter and MJ's marriage it wasn't like...good. Honestly that's one of the things JMS managed to nail, but before him it was a cavalcade of bad storylines where MJ would get her own subplot for a few months and it would invariably be the most boring poo poo imaginable.

Archyduchess posted:I think that in 2018/2019, if Peter's supposed to be in his mid-late 20s or early 30s, an "everyman" arc shouldn't have to and shouldn't have to want to culminate in marriage and kids. That narrative, while tidy, I think increasingly doesn't speak to the goals and lives of people who are Peter's vague age, especially among people with the contingent elements that his life has-- freelancer (I think still?), weird hours, all-consuming hobby, dependent older relative, living in a very expensive city. I got married at 28, which would have felt extremely late in my parents' day, but among my friends and age-proximate colleagues was pretty early. It's just not as ubiquitous a marker of "growing up," ditto having kids-- among married people my age that I can think of, only three have kids, and those were the only three that ever had any intention of having kids. Yeah I agree that "Spider-Man must grow up and the only way he can is by having a steady important job, a wife, and kids" is mostly the result of people being fixated on a societal construct of adulthood and success that is rapidly becoming out-of-date
