Either way!
spider-man
okay, we all know dan slott can be a shit writer and what he’s doing with spider-man right now is revolting, but he didn’t invent the spider-signal, so don’t blame him for that. spidey had the signal in his first appearances. it was dumb, so they scraped it, but it’s not dan’s idea.
I REMEMBER THE SPIDER-SIGNAL
It was in the first Spider-Man comic I ever read when I was like seven and it looked weird and freaked me out. (Who knows why.)

(Here’s the context for anyone reading this long after that post went up.)
Yeeeah, the current CBR poll is ‘How do you feel about a possible romantic relationship between Mary Jane Watson and the Superior Spider-Man?’, and the options are as follows —
- I like the idea!
- If Peter’s fine with it, so am I.
- No way – it’s just plain wrong.
The last option has the vast majority of the vote so far, but ugh. Now, I don’t think Mary Jane would EVER consent to have a relationship with Doc Ock, no matter whose body he’s in, but if they had to have a gross poll like this (which they didn’t), they couldn’t at least have a middle option where HER agency is actually acknowledged?
Also, if anyone actually thinks Peter would be ‘fine’ with Doc Ock raping Mary Jane using his body, I can’t think of anything to say to that person other than that they should get the fuck out and take a warhammer to the balls while they’re at it.
IF PETER’S FINE WITH IT?????
