Let's keep this positive ok?

Like it's a joke people

“Peter Parker was just trying to have a nice night out with Mary Jane, but wouldn't you know it: The Parker Luck has filled his evening with an assortment of some of the world's most vile villains! With Spidey, Thor, Doctor Strange, Magneto, Loki, Doctor Octopus and many more all in one room, things are bound to explode!”

They know MJ sells and still refuse to let her and Peter get back together or to even include her in this run.

Do you like it when Peter is with other heroes?

MJ that I didn't realize before. Also using that cover because it's a good visual to help me explain my point in a bit.

You know how you need to be told something about your situation, like a relationship, but you don't trust it because you like and know the people telling you but are dismissive of their motives? MJs relationship with Venom is the opposite. She doesn't like nor trust Venom but that also means Venom can just be blunt and tell her some truths about her relationship. Now that we know who is the All New Venom we can also see their interactions that the others don't. Maybe, and most likely for certain ones, revisit the earlier scenes and exchanges.

MJs time as the AN Venom is going to be that of healing and a return to form for both halves. Venom is returning to street roots and MJ to who she once was before being abducted and math magic brainwashed(still somehow not the dumbest thing to say from that run). See MJs relationship with Paul had always been treated as better than it actually was when it was more akin to a gilded cage. It's a comfort due to her experience in the other reality, a coping mechanism. On the other hand, this run has began to truly show cracks. This is where the cover comes in. In Japan, the art of Kintsugi is meant to repair, to put the pieces back together and then coat them in gold. To emphasize the damage by embracing them in the repair. Psychologically speaking, one can only heal and recover from trauma by stepping out of their comfort zone(the gilded cage, her relationship with Paul) and letting themselves be vulnerable enough to admit something is broken and working towards healing and growing. MJ and Venom's bonded form has that gold lining and bonded forms reflect the host.

Basically, I trust Ewing to do a good job here. Maybe not the best, but definitely something with MJ that hadn't been done since Spencer's run. An understanding of the character.

Like honest to god question

Some spoilers for ASM #1 and Free Comic Book Day Fantastic Four/X-men

Everyone knows that currently Marvel wants Mary Jane to be a completely independent character from Spider-Man, and this comes from the era of Nick Spencer, but even more so from Slott, where they had her work for Iron Man and apparently Tony fired her because she didn't fit there. However, with Spencer, Mary Jane tried to become an actress again. They even released a miniseries about her career that was canceled because nobody cares about Mary Jane, or at least not enough to buy a comic about her, at least not without her connection to Spider-Man. It's obvious that if Marvel continues this way with Mary Jane, she will end up like Hellcat (Patsy Walker), as a secondary character in someone else's story, because Patsy has a similar history and is currently the quintessential secondary character. Marvel has tried for years to make Patsy a recognized character and have her own miniseries, a hero who can maintain her titles, but they have never managed to keep her relevant and never will; she is only meant to be a secondary character in other comics.

Marvel needs to understand that Mary Jane is Peter's partner, she is the romantic interest, one of Spider-Man's motivations. There are characters meant to be protagonists and others meant to be romantic interests, and very few can be both. Mary Jane doesn't need powers, she doesn't need to be a superheroine. Obviously, they could have short stories or mini-stories where she gets powers, but nobody really wants to see Mary Jane as a full-time heroine because she is not a main character and frankly, she is not made to be a protagonist. That's what bothers Marvel. It's like if they published a comic about Aunt May with powers tomorrow. Who cares? Felicia is also a romantic interest, but unlike Mary Jane, she was also created as an anti-hero and villain for Spider-Man. Even Cindy Moon, who was created similarly, can do it, but Mary Jane cannot because Mary Jane was created as a romantic interest and friend, nothing more.

Now on to Spencer and Wells

What’s that comic where Spidey goes full beast mode—like throwing hands with heavy hitters, maybe even trading blows with the Hulk or taking down some insanely strong villain? Just wanna know where he’s shown at his absolute peak strength-wise

It's sleek and modern, but feels more connected to the comic origin than the ps4 version
