I’m good 😂!
No
If you want to... For some reason... Probably the same reason you look at a train derailing...
No.... no thank you
No, I don’t think I will
I guess Spider-man's worst enemy is the editorial department.
Jake H and dan slott
And the ol' Parker Luck.
And Joe Quesada
You don’t know how true that is.
An Editorial department going through a mid-life crisis
Honestly. The fact they split MJ and Peter up isn't what bothers me about this story. It's the fact that Peter the hero who is supposed to embody responsibility does something incredibly selfish to avoid facing the consequences of his actions. If it had been handled better(Like say MJ was the one who got shot or they had this HUGE story arc involving Peter and MJ's marriage falling apart in a realistic and believable way) I guarantee you this story wouldn't be that big deal 10 years later. Instead it's 10 years later and people are STILL complaining about this. It's astounding how badly they fucked this up. It's almost transedent.
I really want to read a Spider-Man run written by Sal. He's got the love for the character and from this clearly the knowledge of what not to write.
It could be really awesome
That would be amazing
So long as he isn't married to MJ
Unless they add a kid (which is relegated to AU) and make it like the Johnathon Kent stuff... The marriage isn't going to give us much stuff aside a person Peter can vent to
I doubt that.
A bad comic pisses you off or irritate you a bad Spiderman comic makes you quit reading for at least 10 years
+Amazing Zero I still have not bought anything that takes place after this
+Amazing Zero One More Day, Disassembled, and House of M are three of the worst stories ever printed in a comic. Ever.
+Amazing Zero i feel ya man
Relugus Dark Knight strikes again would be up there for me. Just abysmal
Ultimatum i think is closer to being not just bad just even worst then Dark knight strikes again ever could, what do i mean by that well what i mean is this, Dark knight strikes again is a bad sequel we all know it however ultimatum in my opinion is a far worse story because it systematically wiped a entire universe and i am not kidding its really awful it destroyed that entire line of comics
Top 5 bad Spider-Man stories:
1. One More Day
2. Sins Past
3. The Clone Saga
4. The Other
5. One Moment In Time
Sins Past takes the cake. One More Day is awful, truly awful, but Sins Past besmirches the memory of an innocent character whose death literally ended the silver age of comics. As stories, they're both abominations, but Sins Past is vile for what it does to Gwen.
I thought Tiffany would materialize again at the mention of Dr Strange...I guess One More Day even deters the most hardcore Dr Strange fans...
Even though I massively disagree with the editorial mandate to undo the marriage, here's how to fix the story.
Have Mary Jane get shot instead of Aunt May. Peter discovers she's going to die, and makes a deal with Mephisto to save her. But Mephisto will only do it if he gets to also undo the marriage, as Mephisto wants to feed off Peters misery or some dumb shit like that. Have Peter remember the deal but MJ doesn't, and if he tells her she'll die, which would give Peter a reason to keep his distance from her.
So Peter will lose MJ either way, but at least this way she'll live. This way Peters deal becomes a selfless act instead of a selfish one. You could even link it back to Gwen, and how Peter failed to save her, and him say he can't fail to save MJ this time.
The fact that you came up with a better and more logical story than a staff of professional writers and editors is really fucking sad. Sure the marriage being erased still sucks, but at least your idea makes sense and doesn't make peter out to be a whiney dipshit.
That would've required intelligent writing and in character development. Unfortunately marvel was still in their civil war phase and wrote every character like an angry psychopath.
38:11, "That's One Moment In Time, which we'll NEVER do".... (cut to 5 years later)
Jon Watts made a blockbuster movie out of one more day and one moment in time story elements lmfao
I must say, Sal, it's very satisfying to hear you call out _Brand New Day_ for the eye-roller that it truly was. I've seen far too many fans try to defend _Brand New Day_ as a great period that "rejuvenated" Spider-Man when it was actually a huge creative failure. Almost all of the new villains, supporting characters and sub-plots introduced during _Brand New Day_ didn't stick around and were either dropped, ignored, or written out of the series entirely.
Marry Jane: "I want half!"
Peter: "Half!?"
Marry Jane:"I want half of the suit!"
Peter: “Fine... just open your menu”
Peter: “It’s not fabric, it’s just a bunch of zeros and ones.”
M.J.: “Fine. Then gimme the ones.”
Peter: “Fuck you! I want the ones!”
God SAO abridged,,
Gets notification about new Back Issues,
Sees its One More Day
Me: Oh this shit is gonna be good.
Same! I was like OH shit!
For aspiring comic writers, this story is the #1 reason why you should just write at Image.
+Whirlwind Spiral Usually those mandates are the horrible writing.
Aten Akehnaton Exactly. It's probably hard to do good work when you're on a strict time limit to get issues out AND editorial is forcing you to make decisions that betray your own creative vision.
Truly the greatest of ironies
I have a lot of trouble wrapping my head around why the marvel editorial thought this would be a good idea. What spider-man fan really thought it would be better if Peter was single? Honestly this feels like a bunch of men trying to fix something they didn't agree with when they were kids, current fans be damned. Obviously the reverence for comic relationships like Sue and Reed Richards, Green Arrow and Black Canary, Superman and Lois, etc prove that comic fans are fine with this sort of stuff.
The only marriage I can think of currently in comics is Luke and Jessica. Marvel better not separate them. Also screw the editorials.
+WaruKrook agreed let's hope they don't get screwed over next
"This feels like a bunch of men trying to fix something they didnt' agree with when they were kids current fans be dammned" You hit the nail on the head there.
"Oh crap... they're doin' it..."
>my first reaction
Spider-Man PS4 did the Aunt May dying story better. Into the Spider Verse did the unmarried Spider-Man story better.
WandaVision did the Mephisto part better lol
@@bigcityreporterNo Way Home did the Memory erasure better.
Now we need Doc Ock masturbating to Peter's memories in his mind now 😂
It was okay lol not great aunt may was so obnoxious
This is it; the story that caused me to stop reading Spider-Man comics for several years. Honestly, the character was permanently damaged for me after the events of _One More Day_. Even now, I still can't look at modern Spider-Man in the same positive light I once did (which is incredibly sad for me since Spider-Man is my favorite superhero and comic book character of all time).
I feel u man. I thought it was a joke when I heard about it. After seeing Linkara’s review of it, I haven’t read any Earth-616 Parker stuff past JMS. There’s a new Ultimate Spidey book coming that has Pete & Mary hitched from square 1- with kids! (by Jonathan Hickman)
Yeah I still remember taking my original copies of the issues and burning them behind my high school. I was a pissed off 17 year old emo kid at theses books. I think a reason it's still hated so much is cause Marvel keeps acting man children about this. from rigging a fan poll that voted OMD as their worst book ever cause "we didn't appreciate it yet", the awful OMIT story that took Peter and MJ's wedding issue's panels of pre-wedding jitters out of context and revealing the bullet wound NO ONE can heal is fixed by Peter's "love", throwing MJ under the bus saying "well she took the deal and wanted out" ignoring Peter guilting her into it, having a X-Men wedding cover showing every marriage in Marvel but Peter and MJ's cause "they only wanted happy marriage's" like you know Hank and Janet, Wanda and Vision, and Jean and Scott they all lived happily ever after..... And finally Tom Breevort saying that fans need to "shut up and take their medicine cause they now what good for us."
That's fucked up
Tevya Smolka Hey we got a Spider-man Tangled Web-Show fan here.
PowerPackers90 cool
I demand source on the "Rigged fan poll"
PowerPackers90 you’re not alone there. Me, my cousin and my best friend burned them on a mountain in Utah 4 days after Christmas
Meanwhile, Linkara is somewhere gritting his teeth
At least it ain't Holy Terror.
masterprick1 He hasn't bought a Spider-Man comic since. He's read plenty of them in store.
OreoBrawl yes 😂😂
Y'know what would've made this story better? If Mary Jane was the one who was shot instead of May. He'd give up his marriage with her so she can live.
I have come to a conclusion, all bad spider-man stories happen when Aunt May is incapacitated. Aunt May was in a coma and dead during the clone saga, in this story Aunt May is in a coma, and is the clone conspiracy Aunt May is so sad about Jay's death that she is rendered incapacitated.
Unmarry him and make him a guy " well call him miserable" -Sal . That was f-Ing hilarious.
This and AT4W's review of this comic are a great double feature.
I LOVE how everything keeps coming back to the LANGOLIERS. Another great show guys.
I hope Joe Q. lays awake every night knowing he fucking ruined Spider-Man. I can't believe it's been over 10 years. The wound still feels fresh. There have been some decent Spider-Man stories since this but the character has really never fully recovered. Every copy of "One More Day" should be burned so we can pretend it never happened except for one to hang up in Marvel's offices with a label saying, "what not to do."
Thank you guys so much for doing this episode! As someone who dislikes this story both for what it is and what it represents in comics (and in media in general), it felt good to see this arc get torn to shreds by someone who has had a history with Spider-Man longer than I have.
linkara also ripped it apart in his 200th episode special
Is Sal saying editors are like some domineering multiversal evil creatures? Cause there's a writer guy from the UK that can help him transcend this issue.
If the daughter of Peter and Mary Jane kills Mephisto. I guess it makes sense for Mephisto to kill that marriage.
Or just kill one of the parents to prevent the birth of the one who will kill him
Jeez dude you kinda predicted future
I really wish they simply went for that logical ending. MJ is pissed that he'd even consider a deal with the devil and divorces him. Without the deal, Aunt May dies anyway. Peter would need to start his life over.
For another Back issues episode, can you do The Mask? You know the original gory not for kids Mask? Yeah that Mask.
Really happy to see you guys finally doing an episode on this horrific story. Honestly while it didn't ruin my life(obviously it's a book) it did kinda ruin how I felt about Spider-Man until Big Time. I still hope one day Spidey and MJ get married again. I was really hoping to see 616 Peter have a daughter and mentor her to be Spider-Girl and eventually pass the torch to her. But now that will probably never happen. Oh well, life goes on. Thanks again for another great episode guys.
Well that hope you have is definitely not happening any time soon in the post secret wars 616 universe. :(
I wanted that too happen to
I love big time! it's a great jumping on point for new readers.
Or they could bring back an ongoing for Spidergirl.
Wow 57:59 That is almost perfect that’s a better way to “end” the whole relationship than what they actually did
One More Day is when I stopped reading comics for awhile....I hated it that much
Same here. Even now, I still can't view Spider-Man in the same adoring light as I once did. _One More Day_ has permanently tainted the character for me.
Oh shit, is One More Day this generations Clone Saga?
@@lawrenceperry957 I think One More Day surpassed Clone Saga
Brian Michael Bendis superman run having the same effect on me
@@lawrenceperry957
Both One More Day AND Sins Past surpassed Clone Saga.
I actually liked married Spider-Man. It’s just a part of character growth and change as time passes. Hell I grew up with Spider-Man and I read the past issues where he was single and struggling as a photographer, I also saw him get married and dealing with the issues of it. To me it was just natural. You can only keep a character the same age, in the same life situation before it gets stale, sure him being married may have felt stale but taking him back to a point he was in even before that doesn’t really seem fresh either.
I personally thought the married man thing could have still worked if ya gave him an new element in it to deal with like I dunno.. a kid!!!! But nope marvel couldn’t have that. 🤦🏻♂️
I mean we had Peter the high school student, Peter the college student, peter the single photo journalist and Peter the husband. The next logical step was Peter the father.
Edit (12/31/21) - how having a baby could add to his story. Having to juggle crime fighting with an infant at home, hell normal parents have a hell of a time with losing sleep cause of the demanding nature of an infant. Use that to show the lack of sleep, the juggling of tasks wear on his superhero work. Have the strain and infant causes lead to arguments with MJ. Have MJ legit worried about Peter (the father of their child) getting hurt or killed while out there. Her being worried if he does get exposed it not only puts her life but the life of their child in danger. Also have there be an ongoing plot thread of both wondering if the child will inherit his powers with both hoping different outcomes.
This all could have lead to MJ separating with Peter (just separating not divorce) and Peter has to move out of the house and into an apartment. We could then see him deal with that stress while continuing to fight crime. Another interesting twist, couples counseling where him and MJ talk to a counselor about their issues while talking code to keep his secret. Then ultimately MJ serves him with divorce papers and she and the child move.
Then say a couple of years later in the publication we find out why, the child manifested powers like Peter and that scared her to the point where she took the kid to live isolated (home schooled) so no one would see the child has powers (like a babysitter seeing the child crawling up a wall would be an issue etc). We find out she didn’t want to divorce him but she wanted the child to have a normal life, that no matter how much she did and still loves Peter she will always choose her child.
That simple pitch almost got me teary-eyed. Maybe the strain of not being able to see his kid as much due to the seperation would also affect his professional life (assuming he had a job like Horizon Labs/ Parker Industries) & knowing colleagues have to make excuses for his behavior; heck have Madame Web be part of helping them. If he found a relationship with someone else, that could cause some good Parent-Child conflict as long as his kid was pre-teen age (5-12).
And we still have to live with this story for more one more day.
Spider-man is one of the best characters ever created. Why is it so hard just to write good stories about him?
Ikr? I think that there's a reason Slotts been on the book so long. He's consistent and he understands the charicter
Because hes not one the best characters ever created, hes just one of the most shallow escapist fantasies.
@@sonicsucks20
literally the point of the character is that being a superhero is a responsibility, not something he does for fun.
@@sonicsucks20 If you think he's shallow you're high
Spider-Man was created to grow but the nature of American comic books' stasism is that he's not allowed to.
I'm a college student studying in they're arts, and I've done limited writing since high school. I've always considered trying my hand at drafting up a comic pitch for some of my favorite characters, especially Spidey. About a week ago, I suddenly had a huge brainwave that kept me up all night thinking, and now I'm seriously writing a pitch for a Spider-Man story with the working title "Sins of the Father". The goal is to deal with One More Day and all of the problems people have with it without retconning it out of existence or trying to reset the status quo to him being married. I am going to take the fact that my favorite RUclips series has chosen to talk about One More Day now as a sign that, at the very least, a story to deal with it is a good idea. Also, Sal, I'm half considering sending the pitch to you first before Marvel, so... Hope you hate this story enough to be excited to read about current comics Spider-Man saying it sucks!
Go for it man
+DomovoiJr That sounds awesome. If you're the one to retcon OMD then I salute you good sir.
*studying in THEATRE arts
I hate this comic. Disrespectful of the characters, comics history and the fans. It's a disgrace.
At this point it probably irreversible damage to Spider-Man
"My brain made a sound" might be the funniest thing I've heard Sal say.
This story right out assassinated Peter Parker as a character ANYONE could relate. You could go out and ask anyone out on the street "Hey would you make a deal with a demonic figure JUST to save the life of an ailing dying relative from a SIMPLE bullet wound?"
10/10 would say "NO! What are you STUPID!?!?!"
This is the Story that makes me WARY to even go near most modern spidey comics to KNOW that this..THIS is part of Spidey's actions, that the guy who had fought to make things right for his Cloned "brother" Ben Reily when he got accused of crimes he didn't commit, the guy who FOUGHT against the EASIEST instinct to just END Cletus Kassidy's campaign for MAXIMUM CARNAGE because doing so would just only make him JUST like Carnage, the GUY WHO STOOD UP AGAINST THE MANY THOUSANDS OF CRIMINALS AND MANIACS WITH EVERYTHING HE'S GOT...Taking the EASY way out to get SOMETHING he wants. Something which I am VERY sure that he's faced with the chance to get his uncle or his parents back in probably the same manner of way and said, FLAT OUT "NEVER"
but yeah it was to get rid of a marriage that made "PETER LOOK OLD" and didn't want a NORMAL divorce because "IT WOULD MAKE HIM OLDER!!"
Blech.
I am with Lewis Lovhaug on this mindset: If this Deal was dealt with FACE FRONT and directly in a story, I will follow Spidey's exploits all the way back upwards...HAPPILY.
until then Marvel, THIS hangs over your head.
Editors couldn't handle the marriage of one of the most iconic couples, and so a very terrible storyline of a demonic deal destroys it.
Now we have a cursed Peter Parker/Spider-Man and Mary Jane Watson that are shadows of themselves.
Thank you, Renew Your Vows for giving us the true Peter Parker/Spider-Man and Mary Jane Watson.
Spidergirl from the 90s had a good married Peter Parker
I've never read this story, but I was given the impression that J. Michael Straczynski is to be blamed for the whole thing by a comics reviewer that I've followed throughout the years. Thanks for giving me a new perspective.
I never understood the whole Civil War II movie-tie-in thing. Wouldn't it be easier to just re-release the Civil War in a special edition?
If were thinking of the same reviewer, he can be pretty smart but he has a lot of angry fanboy tendencies. It's part of the reason why I stopped following him years ago.
Linkara?
Those damn Skrulls! If I lived in the Marvel Universe I wouldn't trust anyone. There's like a 98% chance they're gonna be a Skrull.
Ben getting up and leaving was hilarious, lol
Wouldn't it be twisted if it turned out that Mephisto was in love with MJ and that's why he did it!!!
regishel That's diabolical and kinda appropriate and MAKES SENSE!!
That would have been a better fucking twist then what we actually got lol.
You are not the first person I've heard of that stopped reading comics for a while after this storyline, Sal. Seems there are quite a few people who did the same. It is a very dumb and needlessly stupid story for sure. It's one of the reasons I tend to like self contained graphic novels more the older I get. Great episode guys.
I think this remains my favorite episode of Back Issues. Not only because of the teardown of this shitty book, but also because it shows just how much they care about and love comics and their frustrations with the beuracracy surrounding the industry.
I love it when you guys make langoliers references on back issues. Always cracks me up.
The sad part of this is that Marry Jane and Peter will likely never be together again anytime soon. Slott is one of those writers who needs Spider-Man to be single. Slott has done some good stories so I'm not saying he's a lazy writer but he's just one of those people. With MJ in invincible iron man it's not gonna happen for a very, very long time.
Slott needs to get off the amazing Spider-Man series he's wrote enough
Quesada
+Tevya Smolka He really has written it for way too long. He's also kind of mean to his fans on his twitter so I don't understand why Marvel let's him stay on that title for so long.
+Jonathan Keating I assume slott will be off when the new movie comes out or maybe even by the end o this year aand i loved some of the stories that Slott wrote but i just want some new talented blood for spiderman. I would like Marc wade to takeover
Jonathan Keating i agree he's has written way too long we need new blood for this series my recommendation mark waid because his flash series was and still is awesome in my opinion ;)
12:15 you summed all the feels right there pretty well
This is the story that made me stop caring about Spider-Man. No only was is stupid on it's own but it somehow managed to travel back in time and suck away all the joy I had previously gotten from reading Spider-Man comics.
"Sins Past" is probably worse but not by much!
+Jonathan Womack Yeah I agree fucking Joe Quesada makes Gwen Stacy(The reperesentation of Innonce in Marvel) fuck Gross ass old ass Norman Osborn while she's still with Peter Parker and apparenty in that story Peter never even got to fucked her. That Haunts me to this day
My question is who's bright idea was it for Green Goblin and Venom to forget Spider-man's identity.
Firstly it makes no sense because their history is so entwined with Peter Parker's life. Are you telling me that Norman doesn't remember why he killed Gwen Stacy or why Venom broke into MJ apartment? That's ridiculous.
Secondly it ruins the characters. They are instantly less interesting characters by not knowing who Spider-man is. It just turns them into generic super villains instead of personal threats.
Lastly it's not even consistent with other characters. How can Jackal and Morlun remember but not Venom. It's bullshit!
At least Green Goblin is sort of back. I've given up on ever seeing classic evil Venom again after that awful symbiote home planet story.
I agree it's bullshit that venom aka Eddie Brock and green goblin don't know Peter Parker identity that's what's pisses me off even more because those two villains were far more interesting knowing Peter Parker identity then without :(
Something else terrible they did is make it so Black Cat doesn't know his identity thus completely changing her character so that she and Spidey don't even know each other at all!
Which one? The 90's one or the 2015 one because the 2015 one was great.
Darth Shadow I think both are bad. I did not like the 2015 version because of all the wasted potential and bad retcons.
A planet of nothing but symbiotes could have been an amazing story about the Guardians trying to escape the planet before being consumed by the residents. Instead we get: "don't worry guys symbiotes who have ALWAYS been evil are conveniently not evil and never were. Also they have a dues ex-machina which makes Agent Venom a less interesting character with a stupid costume".
The story takes one of the most creepy characters in the Marvel Universe and turns him into a worse version of Blue Beetle. Hopefully it gets retconned later that the Klyntar actually are evil monsters and only pretended not to be for some sinister agenda because making Venom and Carnage secretly good guys makes absolutely no sense.
Dr. Madd Sad to say, but at this point Norman Osborn Green Goblin has become kind of a joke
I can relate to Sals rant. I gave up Spider-Man for 3 yrs. I had dreams of going back to the comic shop and seeing nothing but Brand New Day comics on the rack. It took American Son to slowly bring me back in. Never forget
For me, Straczynski's run ended the moment Romita left.
Coming back to this episode after reading the first couple issues of Nick Spencer's run.
Like this screwed Spider-Man continuity and removed a lot of interesting arcs and moments in Spidey's history such as Harry's resurrection and with Brock and Norman knowing Peter's secret identity. This did cause the mentality around Marvel about that "good ol' Parker luck", where he should never be happy and act like a total child regarding all of his circumstances, and just not considered on the same level as his colleagues. Just because they wanted Peter to revert to his silver age status, despite being a man in his 30's.
Also while this isn't Quesada's fault for the retcon, this story most definitely doesn't work as Peter and MJ came to accept Aunt May's passing in #400. Especially with her knowing and telling them it's her time to finally go.
As someone who, even as a CHILD, loved the Peter and MJ relationship, this turned me off of reading the character for a while and just never understood the fascination of cliched material that could come from a flavor of the month romance. (Like Ethan said, it's just lazy writing for lazy writers.)
Here's hoping Spencer going back to basics will result in one of the positive moments in Spider-Man's timeline.
But aside from my rambling, I think this was a nice run through and explanation of one of the worst books that's come out of Spidey's history, so great job Sal!
A few years later, and last remains literally just recreated a twisted version of the ending of OMD,
A part of her love imprinted onto Peter. 🤣
When Doom empathizes with you & says there's nothing he can do, you listen & leave. Having teamed up with Johnny Blaze you think Pete would've told Mephisto to screw off- But that'd be a good story and we can't have that apparently.
The little girl is basically May "Mayday" Parker A.K.A. Spider Girl from the MC2 universe.
Spider Island was a pretty good story and Mr Negative is a decent villain.
I was waiting for the Tiffany cameo when dr strange was mentioned
From 47:19 to 48:00, I couldn't stop laughing 😂 You guys always turn the crap comic's into gold
This was the time where Ben should have done his, "AND THE CHILDREN WERE SCREAMING!!!!!!!"
+Staff Sergeant Drew Matseshe DAMMIT
And then they did One Moment in Time
And what a legendary episode!! LMAO. "I don't like Mondays, but I do like Garfield..."
"Finally... The day is upon us!" Was my initial reaction.
This killed me in all the right ways 😹😹😹
"How great would it be if [someone made this non-canon.]"
"Oh my god."
Watching this while I avoid no way home spoilers, this story was responsible for me dropping amazing for the second time in my life. The first was maximum carnage when I was 12.
i like how this is the one time marval did a crisis like retcon. but it only really effects like two character's bubbles. spiderman's and venom's.
Goodness gracious, I just watched your episodes on the clone saga and sins past and gosh dang. These three books were the ones I had at the library when I started getting into comics. It’s something else to hear the stories again after so many years and realizing how crazy they were.
You should do Spider-Man: Reign 😂😂
Another classic, raw, no bullshit take on an infamous story arc. I was with Ben on this one when he noped the hell out of there. Thanks for drawing us back in for the rest of the story.
did anyone else lose their shit when Karen page said "let me check your back issues." on DD season 2? I sure did
+William Gazca I totally did!
+Ben Baragona you da man ben!
Yes! Best Spidey comic of all time!!!
JUST EFFIN' KIDDING of course.
After seeing reviews of like the whole story I can confidently say that this is the least Spider-Man has acted like himself in comics he does not act like himself at all in this book and I know it's because you know editorial interference but this is just one of the craziest storylines that I've ever seen and I really am not surprised that this caused a lot of readers of Spider-Man to walk away after this if I had read it at the time I would have walked away as well
I never thought i´d live to see this back issues
I legitimately Gasped when I saw this on my subscription box. Oh man I have not even STARTED the video yet and I'm already excited for y'all to TRASH this.
I love that Ben just gives up half way through lol
make back issues on HOLY TERROR
yea they might never be the same linkara reviewed it on his channel
Holy Terror isn't bad in a way that's funny, it's bad in a way that makes you fucking sick.
The part where Spidey bitch smacks the fuck out of Fisk is probably my favorite moment from any Spidey book i've read.
Ohohoho! Here we go!! The deal with the Devil that was secretly editorial! XD
in the miles morales spiderman 2016 issue 2 after miles defeated blackheart, the avengers come and spiderman too. he asks what it was and miles said a demon. peter asks him black or red. miles says black. and peter says GOOD I HATE THE RED ONE. REALLY??!! AND STILL HAS NO FUCKING CLUE THAT PETER AND MJ WERE MARRIED........ THE. FUCK.
Don't worry-- in the Spider-Man/Deadpool issue when Mephisto shows up, Peter doesn't recognize him AT ALL.
question is the spider-man/deadpool series really going retcon one more day out of existence and make peter remember the deal he made with mephstio and bring back the marriage with peter and mary jane being married is that going to happen
spidey 126 and in the amazing Spider-Man issue MJ remembers living in stark tower and finds the iron spider suit
Luis Moreno wait minitue if mary jane remembers living in stark tower and remembers living with peter in stark tower too then why the hell they don't remember there own marriage it doesn't make any sense
Tevya Smolka and in spider man deadpool he mentions maphistho and maphistho teases him about what he did
Besides the great explanation, and discussion between you three, the chemistry no matter the cast on the couch, and the jokes that never fail to make me laugh, Ben's Trigun reference at 23:30 is what makes the channel the greatest
This story and the clone story destory Spider-Man for long time
So... recently Matt Murdock moved back to New York, and everyone there seems to have forgotten that he's Daredevil.
Does anyone else think that he also took the "One More Day" deal? (and hopefully negates his marriage to Milla Donovan at the same time...)
+Antonio Ortega There was nothing wrong with Milla when Bendis wrote her, but Brubaker seemed to have it in for her. The way he wrote Matt it seemed like she was a burden on him.
Personally, I have always like the idea of Peter getting together with another superhero. Not only because they can actually relate to what he goes through but the idea of them being in danger because of him is tossed out the window and it allows him to lead a happier life (I know god forbid Peter be happy) but this is like the worst possible way to accomplish that goal.
What would be an amazing thing to do for the eventual point when they undo this is if they had Peter and Mary Jane’s daughter fight and defeat Mephisto, as a symbolic way of him being defeated by Peter and MJ’s embodiment of love. I don’t know how they could do this, but it would be amazing!
I have been waiting for this moment since I first discovered this show
Just hearing this story retold all over again makes me wanna have a Dallas moment myself and pretend this issue never existed. It was interesting hearing all the little behind the scenes stuff happening when this was published.
it is metalinguistic
in this book mefisto is joe quesada
joe quesada is spider-man's devil
I just have a couple recommendations.
Siege Aftermath: Avengers Prime
Johnathan Hickmans - Secret Warriors
Matt Fractions Iron Man run.
Just thought I'd throw them out there. Idk if this will get lost in the comments or not but these are all pretty interesting runs in my opinion.
This episode could have ended with everyone waking up in a bed and the whole episode being a dream.
+Thomas Bartelt LOL
She turns into dust.
**2 Years Later** Peter Parker does.
I would argue that sins past is the worst.
Agreed
While listening to this, it occurred to me that Mark Waid in THE FLASH storyline HELL TO PAY is kinda an inversion of this plot back in 1997. It's exactly what they should have done here.
Thanks for making this episode guys. Sal for what it is worth, I feel your pain, man. One More Day was...well, you summed it up nicely yourself.
Just as a small aside I loved the Back in Black mini-saga where Pete kicked the CRAP out of The Kingpin!
One of the great things about watching this episode in hindsight is all the things they say they're never going to talk about again LOL. Couldn't see Spencer's run coming at this point. Is the One moment in Time that was never going to be done on back issues.
I remember this comic causing a lot of people to stop collecting comics. Luckily I'm an Image/indie guy.
Renew your vows showed us that a married spiderman is awesome
Dwight Greene Along with Superman Rebirth.
Also I love how the recent video game was very anti-OMD and is now one of the top-selling PS4 games.
And actually followed through on the premise of ASM #400.
I can't believe it's been 2 years since this episode came out.
Holy shit you actually did it
