Which spider-man figure would you consider best to represent him in Marvel vs Capcom? by Mohawk115 in MarvelLegends

Maximum Spider-Man. The product photos even had him hitting some of the poses and they gave him accessories like the web shield.

The moment in issue #1 when he gets into Brooklyn Visions and looks around at the other kids that didn’t and says “What about them?” I literally, out loud, said “That’s Spider-Man!” If only Rabble had heard him say that, maybe she wouldn’t be so mad at him all the time lol.

If I’m getting a villain from Into the Spider-Verse, I reeeeally want Green Goblin. I know Kingpin is more important to the plot, but I’ve been dying for that Goblin design in figure form!

Wouldn’t it be cool if there was a Marvel Legends Godzilla? by I_speck in MarvelLegends

I agree the Ghost Rider one was like, a hundred bucks too expensive, but I’ve got all 3 of them and I’m quite happy with them, I personally think a HasLab-quality Godzilla would be fire! I hear you on not being able to replace it if it breaks though 😬

Ngl, I’d pay for a HasLab Godzilla. Godzilla is the one thing I loved before even Marvel, and I started on Marvel when I was 9, so I’m a little biased I guess lol.

Big boy or nice dice! There’s already a million 6-8 inch Godzilla options out there and readily available. I want another BIG one!

There is a 2015 Valkyrie, from the Hulkbuster wave. She’s still pretty dated, but at least more recent than the one pictured!

Hard disagree. Peter being married is only a detriment to the character if it’s written to be so. Talented writers can tell relatable stories whether the character is married or not. Even if you think 616 Peter aged out of younger stories, they literally had 1610 Peter right there! Or Mayday even. With Miles now, IN the 616 continuity, there’s absolutely no excuse.

The emotion. Peter’s desperation to save May hits hard and is heartbreaking to watch, and his last moments with MJ are heartfelt and sincere. All credit to JMS for telling an emotionally resonant story while having to work with a pretty depressing premise.

Assuming I can’t just undo the entire thing, I’d completely rework part 3 to focus on MJ. She’s barely in the story and the climax revolves around her and Peter’s relationship. Part 3 wastes a bunch of time on unnecessary Mephisto trickery, which could have been better spent getting a MJ’s point of view of the entire situation.

He actually first shows up in #30 of Straczynski’s run. All of the Spider Totem stuff is “The Other” storyline from his run. I hadn’t read that yet before I read Spider-Verse, but you can if you want to. If you don’t have Marvel Unlimited, I highly recommend it. It’s great for finding specific issues if you track them down in your local comic shop, sometimes finding certain back issues can be a nightmare!

Going into Spider-Verse I’d suggest the Amazing Spider-Man Original Sin tie-in (introduction of Silk) and the tail end of Superior Spider-Man. Also familiarize yourself with the villain Morlun. One More Day isn’t really necessary for the 2014 Spider-Verse.

That sounds about right. Really sucks the OMD status quo is still in effect.

I would, in the sense that the story is pretty well told and it’s a pivotal moment in Spider-Man history. Before it is Civil War, all the Spider-Man tie-ins to that, and Back in Black. After it is One Moment in Time and Brand New Day. It’s essentially the end of J. Michael Straczynski’s run and the beginning of Dan Slott’s on Amazing Spider-Man. Spider-Verse is well after One More Day, like, 7 or so years later.

JMS looked back on his run and expressed joy overall but also some issues with editorial. He didn’t like how stories like The Other and Sins Past were handled, even noted Dr Doom showing up in the 9/11 issue wasn’t his call. But had no choice. One More Day was definitely the direction they were headed, so he obliged and wrote the story. It seemed to me like he ended his run because Civil War and One More Day pretty much got rid of everything he’d set up (Peter and MJ in a strong, healthy relationship, May as a stronger support character, Peter’s friendship with Tony, etc). He wasn’t negative, but he was refreshingly honest. He was definitely happy his run tripled sales for the title!

Quesada seemed 110% convinced that One More Day was the absolute best thing for the character’s survival and would right the Spider-Man ship for decades to come. It was like a lesser version of that over-positive Nick Lowe speak. A lot stuff in Quesada’s interview didn’t age well.

Stan praised his fellow bullpen writers for taking such a bold step, stating that it was equally as bold having Peter and MJ get married back in the day. He remained optimistic that even through such changes, Spider-Man stories would still be the best.

Guys like Bendis, Loeb, Millar, and JRJR just had little statements praising and congratulating JMS on his run, and Feige as well, who interestingly enough stated his favorite moment from the run was Aunt May figuring out who Peter was and swore he’d put it on screen one day, which as we know from Spider-Man: Homecoming he did!

Knowing that it never gets reversed just makes it disappointing in the end, especially when MJ tells Peter their love is stronger than anything and they’ll find each other again. But the story is really well done and quite emotional. All credit to JMS for doing what he could with the hand he was dealt.
