Okay, now I'm curious, what did he do fuck up now?

The whole "They never got married thing?" The big hand wave that you were supposed to nod sadly then move on? The one that people yelled and screamed about nonstop until... well, until this? He's going back and explaining it. Bit. By. Bit. Minute. By. Minute.

Quesada's pushing a personal agenda. His father died of cancer, so nobody smokes in the Marvel Universe anymore. He got divorced, so he didn't want Spider-Man to be married anymore.

Oh! And MJ is being painted as the bad guy in all of this. She was the one who agreed to the deal with Mephisto, and now, in OMIT, she's the one who doesn't want to get married because marriage was only a means for having children.

Not because, you know, THEY LOVE EACH OTHER AND WANT TO SPEND THE REST OF THEIR LIVES TOGETHER

Is it a coincidence that Peter bears more than a casual resemblance to Quesada in his artwork?

I really didn't think a Spider-Man Book could be worse than Sins Past, OMD, and BND, but OMIT takes the fucking cake. Not only is it terrible, but it's just god damned insulting throughout. Every single piece of it is is poorly wrought, poorly thought out, and just plain awful in every regard. BND made me stop reading Spider-Man regularly, but this shit makes me actually dislike the characters.

Not even Wolverine, whose mutant power is that HE CAN'T GET CANCER.

Because, as Quesada explains, the guy whose OTHER mutant power is that he carves motherfuckers up with his knife hands is a role model for the kids.

Also Punisher is a zombie right now known as Franken-Castle. Who thinks this shit up? All of my hate.

Royal☭ · « **Reply #847 on:** August 07, 2010, 07:31:59 AM »

And yet that idea is far more interesting and entertaining than the usual story ideas of "Frank Castle shoots guys with a gun". FrankenFranken-Castle rules.

Lottel · « **Reply #848 on:** August 07, 2010, 09:11:35 AM »

It completely changes the fundamental aspects of the character. But you know what? Fuck the Punisher. He sucked. The only people who liked the Punisher were juggaloes. The only time I could stand him were the crossovers with other heroes and how many times can you read "I'mma shoot you, Spidey. Lols. Wait. Yousa good guy. My bad."
Frankencastle may be spitting on the original concept of the Punisher, but the original concept ran out of stories years ago.

Büge · « **Reply #849 on:** August 07, 2010, 09:30:56 AM »

I have to agree with you there, Lottel. Punisher was good in the early 90's but stopped being interesting with the death of violent action films and James Bond.

Thad · « **Reply #850 on:** August 07, 2010, 11:40:51 AM »

Yeah, I'm with you guys. Franken-Castle is fucking hilarious and the best thing that's happened to the Punisher since...ever.

Extra creepy points if MJ looks like his ex-wife.

Why is Peter so fat in that comic?

Lottel · « **Reply #854 on:** August 09, 2010, 06:03:35 AM »

So last night I work, I worked with Curtis, a sometimes employee. He's the owners brother and he's often busy doing yadda yadda yadda.
Well! He's a graphic novel fan. He likes superheroes but never gets into them except for the occasional graphic novel. He asked if I liked Spider-man. I laughed and said yeah, before OMD. He gave me a blank look.

I explained everything from the Civil war to OMIT. He threw a beer against the wall and knocked a huge stack of papers off the counter. I told him I pretty much feel like that every time I see Spidey.

Mothra · « **Reply #856 on:** August 09, 2010, 07:42:55 AM »

Could someone summarize everything from Civil War to OMIT for a brother? Last I heard, didn't Peter's marriage somehow never happen because of magic?

Lottel · « **Reply #857 on:** August 09, 2010, 07:52:43 AM »

Magic? No. Aunt May was shot and dying. So he talked to the Devil. He traded his marriage for Aunt May to live. Both he and MJ only paused briefly before changing their lives forever in order to stop a 93 year old lady from dying from a gunshot wound. But wait! Everyone knows Spider-man is really Peter Parker! If only there was some way to make this go away, because hey, that's why Aunt May was shot, right? MJ steps up to the plate and tells Mr. The Devil "I will let you have this unborn baby in me that I told no one about if no one remembers he was Spider-man." The Devil nods. Then POOOOOF! (well, BOOOOONG!) And it goes back!

But see, not just everyone knew about Peter. A lot of heroes did too, so Petey unmasked himself in front of the heroes and they instantly remembered everything. So now the FF and Daredevil and the Avengers and everything know that Peter Parker changed the history of the world for the last X years. Because a lot of changes happened in New York.

Right now, they are going through EXACTLY why they aren't married. Even though people have finally just accepted it. They were fine with the handwave "it never happened." But NOPE! They aren't married because [spoiler]Spider-man was late for his wedding. Because a fat guy fell on him. And he was knocked out. Of course, in order to believe this you have to forget the umpteen times a building fell on him and he stood up and pushed the building off. Oh well. That was the Devil's master plan. A fat guy. [/spoiler]

I am only touching some quick things. If anyone wants to go over anything I missed, go right ahead.

Why is the publisher letting this asshole Quesada get away with basically writing himself and his life drama as spider-man?

Is there no one overseeing this shit?
