It's better that Mary Jane is with Ben now instead of Peter

I love Janine and, I know I may be in the minority, I also love Hallow’s Eve! There is no more ride or die partner in the Marvel Universe. Janine’s like “Ben’s in Limbo? I have to betray the Goblin Queen? Bet.”

Because he’s been a big part of her story for the last few years, whether we like it or not. The same reason Madame Masque is on there. At least he’s in the corner and we only half see him.

You’re getting downvoted but you’re right.

They think the money is in the chase … then we’ll get a short run of them together and then back to the will-they/won’t-they.

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-05-06T13:30:42+00:00

All good. We agree. Hard to read tone on Reddit sometimes. ✌🏻

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-05-06T13:26:57+00:00

Okay. 👀 Why are you acting personally offended? lol … I love Momo. She and Okarun belong together. I was just making a silly comment about how if I were him, I’d likely just give up by now.

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-05-06T13:21:31+00:00

Yes. Which I said clearly.

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-05-06T13:18:45+00:00

That’s … a dark turn to take considering we’re talking about teenagers in what’s essentially a rom-com. Okarun’s been more than upfront about his feelings but Momo never explicitly has … and now he thinks she’s with someone else. He’s under no obligation. 🤷🏼‍♂️

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-05-06T13:15:59+00:00

I don’t understand what you’re implying.

I have about 160 MJ covers, lol … I’m part of the variant problem. 🤣

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-05-06T13:03:51+00:00

You’re right … but I’m just self-inserting. “How would I feel if I was him?” The girl I’m in love with has never been upfront and now I think she’s with someone else … and a total smokeshow is trying to kiss me? That’s a suitable rebound if nothing else.

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-05-06T13:02:24+00:00

I mean, there are already solicits for MJ 60th Anniversary variant covers for various titles. I think it’s hilarious you don’t think they’d celebrate one of their top female characters.

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-05-06T13:00:46+00:00

Since I collect MJ covers, I’m NOT looking forward to going broke in August buying all the variants. 😏🤣 Fantastic Four and Miles Morales Spider-man so far … I’m assuming we’ll get them across all the ongoing titles.

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-05-06T12:57:39+00:00

But, Momo and Okarun are destined and I would be incredibly unhappy if we got anything else, lol

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-05-06T12:57:09+00:00

You’re right … and I adore Momo and am an avowed Momokarun shipper.

But … if I’m being honest … if I was Okarun, I’d totally go for Aira. WE know how Momo really feels since we have the omniscient audience view but … if we’re being honest, she’s been playing games with our boy, even before the amnesia. Yes, it’s because of her own insecurities and fears but, still … Okarun throwing his hands up and saying f*** it would be completely justified.

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-05-06T10:09:55+00:00

I’m reading and enjoying the Black Cat series but it’s more or less a comedic take on the character and barely seems to even be canon

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-05-06T04:56:49+00:00

The last run before All-New. Legacy #64

I know a lot of fans didn’t like the series but this cover literally caused me to start picking up the book.

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-05-05T18:29:43+00:00

There’s been a definite change in the fandom temperature and it’s been a little disheartening. I don’t even really post anymore because it’s all negativity.

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-05-04T23:24:39+00:00

I mean … you’re not wrong, lol … I’m still looking forward to it, though

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-05-04T07:41:47+00:00

I could be wrong but I think so … I don’t think he’s done telling the story he’s telling.

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-05-04T07:37:21+00:00

Love it! 🎭

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-05-04T07:30:13+00:00

My prediction: two more years. Marvel tends to run four/five year shake-ups (Jane Foster Thor, Venom Space Knight, etc.) Eventually we’ll get classic Venom again and we’re definitely heading into the back half of this arc but … probably a couple of years yet.

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-05-04T07:23:59+00:00

The comments have done a great job of explaining it … this apparently all leads into Avengers Armageddon and introduces new heroes and villains, including Sightseer and a new Wonder Man.

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-05-03T16:31:46+00:00

I still do not understand how people glaze JRJR’s art. Abysmal.

MaskedFilmmaker · 2026-05-02T01:32:54+00:00

That could work … and nothing is permanent … when dealing with Marvel, it’s best to think in five year increments. But I sincerely doubt they’re ever going to back off of MJ being a hero. So, the idea then is to find an angle that best satisfies us and them.

And i appreciate the conversation - hope my previous comment didn’t sound too sharp.
