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.)

[TW: Discussion of rape, lack of consent, etc. for a comic book plot]

(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?????

Spider-Man 2.1 – MJ and Louise shoe shopping deleted scene

Here we learn how really emotionally abusive MJ’s home life was, and her motivations for marrying John. It’s a quiet little scene, so I can see why they cut it, but oh, poor MJ.

I don’t have this edition of the DVD, so I’d never seen this before — thanks for sharing it!

Yeah, as a whole, the scene doesn’t tell us anything we’re not already shown in other parts of the movie, so the decision not to include it was probably a good one. On the other hand, it would’ve been nice to see more of MJ’s social life, and it would have been really, really nice if only Raimi could’ve kept this exchange:

LOUISE: What about that perfect kiss you said you had once, that guy you believed in?
MARY JANE: That was a fantasy. That’s all he is.

which makes it explicit that MJ knows her crush on Spider-Man was just that, a crush, and she’s moved on. Though she’s speaking from disillusionment, she’s not wrong, either: the Spider-Man she knows at this point is just a fantasy, and so for that matter is Peter, her endlessly flaky BFF. It’s a self-aware reflection of what’s going on at Peter’s end, too. Though he clearly cares about MJ as a person — that’s why they’re close friends in the first place — he persists in keeping her on a pedestal and at emotional arms’ length. They can’t work as a couple until he lets her see who he really is and make her own decision.

Now that I’ve put that down in words I’ve just realized Peter and MJ’s split in Spider-Man 3 makes a lot more sense than I’ve thought in the past, as it comes down to Peter having problems letting MJ off her pedestal and MJ having problems figuring out where the fantastic elements of Peter’s life fits into her reality. (There’s still waaaay too much plot-mandated lack of common sense going on in that movie, though.)

I feel sort of bad for continually reblogging people’s MJ posts with this much tl;dr lately…

Oh god, don’t feel bad, this is brilliant!
