Spider-Man Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane series discussion *spoilers*

[Grocer Man]

It's okay. It's not as good as it was, but it's not terrible. It's a bit too bland in that MJ could be pretty much any teenage girl, instead of being MARY JANE, in that, y'know... Spider-Man and his antics have been pretty absent recently.

I haven't read any of the new series.

Is it some sort of One More Day thing?

 

[Captain Canuck]

wait, people who aren't 8-year-old girls actually like this comic?

I've never read it so i can't judge you guys.
I guess 'don't judge a book by it's cover' applies to comic books as well.

Canuck! Didn't you ever learn to read a thread before you post in it? What did your mother teach you? Your question was answered on the first page.

God, the kids these days...

bahahahahahahahAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

*whew* that made my whole day.

And I am ashamed for not reading the thread before posting. My mom would be so ashamed of me.

 

[Captain Canuck]

okay, so i just got back from reading the whole thread, and i'm glad I did. That was by far the funniest thread I have EVER read!

I have to admit my interest is piqued, but I honestly can't see myself picking this up. Mostly b/c my LCS is one city block from the homosexual centre of Toronto and while I try not to be homophobic or stereotypical, walking around the heart of the gay district carrying a tpb aimed at 12-year old girls...it's just not a good idea. :|

Wuss...


I mean for crap's sake, I'm a 34 year old lesbian reading comics, which are generally aimed for boys 14-35.

well, i guess that explains the quote from The Court Jester (a great movie by the way)

and i know that i won't win if i try to argue with you, so okay, i'm a wuss.

Aww, I'm just teasing. You can easily get it from Amazon, s'pretty much where I go since there isn't a comic shop within 55 miles of here.

 

[Captain Canuck]

oh, you aren't angry?

there goes another stereotype

(hides under desk) kidding! let's be friends.

Yes. I totally don't read this comic.

I... uh... buy it for my 8-year old daughter. Of which I have many. Because I have so thoroughly ****ed my wife.

Wives.

:shifty:

do your wives braid your pigtails for you?
:lol:

 

[thee great one]

His hair is long enough.

 

[Captain Canuck]

Does Spider-Man still love Mary Jane?
(not that i care)

 

[Grocer Man]

Does Spider-Man still love Mary Jane?
(not that i care)

Well, I think it's obvious that Spider-Man loves Mary Jane in a platonic way. After all, Mary Jane is one of Peter Parker's best friends. Not that Peter Parker is Spider-Man, that would just be silly. But yes, Spidey, as the thankless defender of NYC, loves everyone on that little island, even darling old JJJ. But he especially loves Mary Jane, enough to share an apartment with her, but most certainly not have sex with her. Or get married and have a child that gets kidnapped by Norman Osborn and completely forgotten about before aborting it with help from a Satanic stand-in, because that would just be silly.

 

[Captain Canuck]

So umm... I just read this whole series. In 24 hours. I apologize for making fun of you guys. I was wrong. This book was adorable.


Until McKeever left and Terry Moore took over. The last five-issue miniseries was crap.

 

[Zombipanda]

I love Mary Jane...

 

[Ice]

I love Mary Jane...

No-no, this is Mary Jane the comic book character. Not the candy or the... "candy".

 

[Zombipanda]

I was talking about the shoes.

 

[Ice]

I was talking about the shoes.

That is acceptable.

Damn you Cap. You made me think they were bring this back...

 

[Captain Canuck]

sorry

 

[Bass]

Same here.

I need to re-read this series. I remember it being a total delight.

...

For my several 8-year old daughters that I totally have.

:shifty:

we'll duh it appeals to everyone not just girls that are eight

 

[Captain Canuck]

i've read it since I posted that and I really do like it. But I think it's fair to say that it doesn't SEEM like it would appeal to men. It was written for a young girl demographic.

 

[DIrishB]

DIrishB loves Mary Jane, too. But not the redhead girlfriend of Spider-Man.

 

[wyokid]

DIrishB loves Mary Jane, too. But not the redhead wife of Spider-Man.

Fixed that for ya, doode.

Actually wyokid, Mephisto and Joe Quesada already ruined it beyond your ability to fix. And then Doc Ock and Dan Slott made it worse.

Sigh, I miss liking Spider-Man.

:cry:

Fixed that for ya, doode.
