A pretty great one was the reveal in Amazing Spider-Man that Mary Jane knew Peter's identity. I don't have the scans handy, but I'll post 'em if I find 'em.

Amazing Spider-Man 258

Couldn't find the rest of the issue (or the one before it), but I think this gets the point across pretty well.

Why do they have a full size Native American Cigar Store statue?

A punch of Peter's friends threw him a housewarming party when he moved into his new apartment (MJ was elsewhere - she'd been shuffled out of the book at that point). One of the 'gifts' he received (along with I think a giant teddy bear and a bunch of toasters and lamps of dubious functionality) was that statue. I guess somebody else saw a chance to offload it.

Seems like a bad thing to keep around as a super hero. The odds of it coming to life and trying to kill you or a loved one at some point has to be near 100%, and then end up as a 'very unfortunate comic issues from the olden days' article on some blog.

He was dating Felicia at the time, so I guess he figured it'd be OK?

I know it went away eventually, but I don't remember when or how. I think his partment building got set on fire? It was gone when Peter & MJ moved in together after the wedding, I believe, but that was 40 issues later.

Maybe he just passed on the cursestatue to somebody else.

OK, the totality of my familiarity with this whole plotline is just the stuff I gleaned in passing from this vid, is that actually accurate as to how batshit the whole thing is? Seriously, I think X-men might be less of a comic and more of a soap opera stuck in "let's do weird episodes" mode.

There's a reason Jay & Miles describe X-Men as a superhero soap opera in the intro to every episode.

(Also listen to it, it owns).
