It's more that the current stories lack consequence, or substance to me. They've done many things in the past decade or two and I don't believe any of them stuck. To me they feel more like crazy times you reference and then move on from rather than additions to the ASM lore.
Is this not what happened with One More Day, was that not editorial chasing a status quo from decades before, a single swinging Spider-Man with returning characters like Harry from the dead.
My god and this guy is acting high and mighty when he did this. This even lamer than when Batman writers try to make Batman cooler than everyone else. Tom you should read JLA Act of God, that seems to be up your alley.
That is literally what you did. The marriage was around for twenty years, and you undid it to make it like stories that were told twenty years ago at that time.
For the record, I don't want a static marriage as it was 20 years ago. I want it as I want a real marriage; a foundation that changes, evolves, and grows over time, as a good story does. A married Peter and MJ shouldn't be the same today as they were in 1987. They should be more than that.
They literally had a story arc called Gang War when we had one in 1986 with essentially the same plot . So, just going to rehash 40 year old stories instead?
...he *wasn't* a father 20 years ago... or ever. This feels like desperate spin doctoring.
I mean the *last time* he was a teenager in the main book was in **1968** and you guys still want to write him like one, so this is not just a lie, but a hypocritical one.

(No, that does not mean Peter has to physically grow old. That was always a strawman argument.)
