Stan Lee Regretted Replacing Gwen Stacy With Mary Jane

That shyt never sat well with me as a kid. I remember having the marvel card of this like "Damn, they killed her".

 

[Neuromancer]

Why did they kill her again? I mean what was the editorial reason?

From that article, the writer said that it made no sense for a character who had no issues or drama around them would want to be with Peter. It had to be someone who was damaged like MJ.

It's funny because nowadays both characters are considered relatively tame and generic love interests for Peter. Black Cat/Silver Sable are considered the edgy ones, but they come off as a ripoff of Batman/Catwoman's ongoing romance so I get it.

That sucks. So because she wasn't screwed up she had to die? I know writers hate heroes being happy but damn.

Her death wasn’t even the bad part

the sexual fukkery with Osborne after her “revival” is what really made no fukking sense

They retconned that nonsense recently. That was a fukking sin. Sleep with me and I'll take my only son to the hospital. If you don't let me smash I'll let him die.

I thought it was because they didn’t want Spider-man to get married because it would age the character

MJ was always better

 

[Luke Cage]

always preferred him to be single and frustrated, thirsting after pawgs online like a typical coli poster

Spider-Man fans can't relate to a happy, employed married man. Superhero

They retconned that out. You really needed someone on the creative team to go

for that shyt. Complete foolishness.

For non comic book readers, how did they clean that mess up?
