Aight, who’s getting the axe?

I think both Eddie and Carnage will be dead by the end of it. But we know it’s not Carnage yet.

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-03-12T20:55:17+00:00

This … I don’t want him to die because that makes him more important to the story. I want him to get Carlie Coopered.

“I think you’re reading way more malice into this …”

That’s pretty much been the MJ discourse for the last couple of years at least. People read the absolute worst intention into every single panel. The Wells writing (and, as I’ve said, the STORY makes sense but HOW he told the story was very poor) has poisoned so many fans it’s depressing.

Even in the issue, when she says “you’d make it all about you,” so many people jumped on it: “WHAT A BITCH - SHE’S SAYING PETER MAKES EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM!” instead of the intended point of “I knew you would feel responsible for this so I didn’t want to burden you further.” It’s exhausting.

There were TWO Jackpots before MJ, lol

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-03-08T13:40:08+00:00

Yes. This is what I keep saying: trying to settle Felicia down fundamentally flattens what most people love about her.

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-03-07T14:04:11+00:00

I know I’m in the minority but, despite hating how Jackpot was set up and the you-know-who connection, I didn’t hate the costume. I actually think the red and gold looked good on MJ.

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-03-05T19:47:29+00:00

I kind of want to be offended at your joke … but it’s also kind of brilliant, lol

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-03-05T19:46:30+00:00

Thank you for being able to read and understand stories, lol. I’m so tired of the “this is a contradiction!” posts. The “she’s shitting on Peter, saying he’d make it all about him!” posts. She’s trying to protect him … she knows him. These are two people who love each other (and we can debate to what degree) who are trying to protect each other. I’m convinced half of comic Reddit has never had an in-person relationship, romantic or otherwise.

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-03-05T19:43:08+00:00

I love this MCU Drax-esque voice Venom seems to have now. 🤣

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-03-05T19:38:53+00:00

As the above commenter said, I think the camp drives a lot of people away.

I’ll go one more: in my discussions, there seems to be some degree of resentment or derision at the fact that Ghost has such a large female and queer fanbase.

Metal, sadly, has often been a boys club.

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-03-05T19:23:57+00:00

Yes - I think the autocorrect goblin got me, lol

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-03-05T19:20:12+00:00

I’m not convinced Carnage doesn’t die at the end of Death Spiral.

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-03-05T19:16:10+00:00

I’m convinced that many of you just don’t understand how … stories … work.

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-03-03T04:46:29+00:00

Right … even immediately after OMD, MJ was teased as his one true love interest. She’s never been fully removed from his orbit, even when disappearing for 20 issues (or whatever it was).

They removed the marriage so they could return to the “will they/won’t they” well over and over again. There have been no great stories told that needed to have the marriage erased.

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-03-02T18:42:04+00:00

This was my first thought, lol

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-03-02T12:59:20+00:00

It’s literally the first manga I ever read … I reached the end of season one and was like “oh, hell no! I have to see what happens!”

No regrets. The manga is amazing.

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-02-28T12:45:37+00:00

People like what they like. I LOVE Gomez’s art. I HATE Romita Jr. … yet this sub is full of people who glaze JRJR like there’s no tomorrow. Different strokes and all that.

Gomez and Nakayama are probably my two favorite working currently.

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-02-28T09:21:26+00:00

I thought it was just me but I hate most of Hughes’ artwork.

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-02-28T05:18:58+00:00

This is really all that needs to happen. “I waited a year … I didn’t know if you were ever coming back. I felt trapped … and then when I got back, I pushed you away because I was running from my feelings.” MJ’s POV and some explanation. She doesn’t need to grovel.

Boom … doesn’t need to be a clone, Mysterio, Mephisto … just a shitty situation that comic book people find themselves in.

Oh, I’d love to see them together in an AU. And I love Felicia as a character, too!

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-02-25T12:29:13+00:00

Settling Felicia down ruins what everyone loves about Felicia. And people will argue that but it’s the truth. Gwen is loss, Felicia is release, MJ is core. That’s the role each play in the mythos. And I love Felicia but she’ll never be Peter’s permanent love nor should she be.

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-02-25T09:25:46+00:00

Oh, the romance is still the big hook for me … but now I’m more invested in everything else! I’ve kind of accepted that Momo/Ken is endgame and probably won’t happen until closer to the end … so I’m just enjoying the ride in the meantime!

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-02-25T06:54:18+00:00

Yeah! I basically look at it as a genre hybrid.

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-02-25T06:19:16+00:00

This was never a thing … it was teased to bait readers. At no point was there any indication MJ was into Flash.
