I don't mind it, it's not an original idea, but MJ's been normal enough times in these scenarios, it's time she showed she can have Peter's back in different ways.

Or maybe's she's just really focused on the problem at hand? Or it's the shape of her mask's lenses that make her look angrier than she really is? It'll be interesting to see this scene in the context of the story and know exactly what's going on.

The Spider-Man Unlimited Game also has a special seven-mission event for Annie May Parker which continues her story from the original RYV mini-series. Her parents have given her permission to attend school in the Unlimited Spidey's dimension, but she falls prey to an attack from Mysterio who conjures up her nightmares of Venom from the original RYV story to try to break her spirit. Annie defeats Mysterio and his henchmen and announces she'll attend school as soon as she gets more lunch money

(I think I saw some screenshots online indicating that Annie will be helping the Mary Jane of the "Unlimited" universe recreate the power armor her mom stole in the final issue of the original RYV story.) |

It's still not clear what the continuity will be regarding the new RYV comic, MJ having powers implies the events of Spider-Island happened and Peter just never cured her like he did in the original, but that's just guess work. Quote:

(That said, if Unlimited is still running when RYV the series hits, I'll bet that elements will probably show up in the game somewhere along the line.) Quote:

In all seriousness, though, it makes sense that they would want to include that, and I could see how it could be a fun update to the game; it could mean more suit options and gadgets for gameplay and more international locations to set the game sessions. Thinking it over, I have to admit that it sounds like more fun, at any rate, then just reading about it in a comic book. (Hope they keep Peter and MJ dating in the game, unlike the comics.) In regards to something you posted before: Quote:
Secondly, could the Spider-Island incident even happen in the RYV world? The original comic story was set in the post-OMD Spider-Man setting, meaning it was arguably in a different timeline than the one that RYV branches off of. I was even under the impression that the original RYV miniseries took place in a timeframe after "Spider-Island. Now, I suppose that they could just say that "Spider-Island" happened under different circumstances and that Peter made a different cure for MJ that let her keep the powers with none of the bad side effects. Although I think that would be one of the better ways to give MJ powers, I have to admit that it seems a little complicated, esp. as it depends on a comic series that readers may or may not know. (In fact, my first guess is that MJ's powers are tied into some variation of Regent's tech.) |

I was merely speculating about the part with MJ having powers and recalling the one story where, canonically, that had happened, coupled with the confirmation we got in the letters pages of ASM that this series takes place in a world where "Mephisto never interfered". It's very confusing at the moment. Adding confusion was this bizarre revelation in ASM earlier this year Regent, Peter and MJ from 616 all vaguely remember the events of RYV despite the fact they had nothing to do with what those alternate versions were up to (616 MJ was killed in the incursion, and 616 Peter had an altogether different mission in Secret Wars) Quote:

- When MJ gives Peter the spare black costume in the second issue, they both recall that she had asked him to stop using it, which happened in 1988's ASM #300. - When MJ is reflecting on Peter's Spider-Man career, the flashbacks show some very specific 616 stories, like the original "Night Gwen Stacy" died and the rescue of astronaut Jameson's shuttle. - Peter's flashbacks in Regents tank of first meeting MJ and their first kiss depict the 616 versions. Because of that, I took it to be that the RYV timeline more or less diverged from 616 somewhere between Peter and MJ's marriage and the '90s Clone Saga (which is where the Mayday birth would've happened), specifically based on the implication that Peter and MJ hadn't been married that long before the first RYV issue. If so, this would set the timeframe of the first issue be long before Garagan got Venom or Spider-Man was up for Avengers membership. Cap's new costume could be part of a butterfly effect and I thought that Venom could change his patterns. (Bear in mind, I got most of this info about the 616 comics online, so I'll be willing to correct myself if I drew inaccurate conclusions from it.) Quote:

Maybe it'll be a Stargate-like thing: The original miniseries happened in broad strokes, but some parts may not be accurate. |

The evidence for the case of it being the second child is that Annie's middle name is "May", when Peter and MJ had both agreed in the Clone Saga that the child's first name would be May, Annie being the first name here indicates Peter and MJ wanted to honour the memory of the first stillborn child but wanting to move on from it at the same time, hence naming her after MJ's aunt Anna. Another note of interest is there's a story set before OMD where the One Above All visits Peter and shows him a future with MJ and two children called Benjy and Mary (so we now have a daughter named after Peter's mother, or MJ's first name, or likely both), so far nothing has come of that detail. I think this was done specifically to assure people that in some far distant future, the Peter and MJ affected by OMD will reconcile and have these children. Quote:

Also keep in mind Marvel have been pushing Mephisto references a lot in Spider-Man appearances in other books, particularly Spider-Man/Deadpool which deals with Peter being haunted by cryptic words from Mephisto about his "greatest fall" and how he will forever feel emptiness. |

(For what it's worth, if I recall correctly, Anna Watson acted as an anchor of sorts for her niece during her troubled childhood and played a part in introducing MJ and Peter, so I could buy that the Parkers would consider using the name instead of "May." I actually kind of liked that they went this route, since it seems like most stories involving Peter and MJ as parents usually have the kids named after Peter's aunt and uncle. While there's nothing wrong with that, it is kind of nice to see that MJ's life gets brought forward, too.) I also think that there's a good argument that, in the RYV universe, at least, Annie was the Parker's only kid; Peter and MJ never talk about having lost a child before, which you'd think would come up given that they're running the risk of losing another. In the first RYV issue, MJ says: "Maybe you should have a talk with [the other superheroes about picking up Spider-Man's beat]. You have a wife and kid now" (my emphasis). Spidey himself tells Iron Man something similar, as if Peter and MJ's marriage and parenthood are both very recent events. If so, that would preclude Annie having an older sister. Finally, when Peter relives his life in the tank during issue five, we see nothing about a child that was lost, and this includes snapshots of his uncle and aunt's funerals, milestones of how he and MJ met, fell in love, were married, and Annie's birth. If Mayday was born and miscarried (or whatever) in this timeline prior, I'm pretty sure that that would've been shown in the montage (which is specifically said to be made of the most important things that happened to Peter). Quote:
On the bright side, that future's labeling as a parallel universe (instead of a alternate future that Peter and MJ gave up in OMD), does mean that that the original pre-OMD 616 continuity does have a place where all the stories happened as written and at least one more universe where the Parkers are still a married couple.

It could be that Dan Slott just wants to touch on OMD in some fashion (he does seem to enjoy doing stuff like that) and that it has nothing to do with the RYV series? The original RYV, despite the marketing, really had nothing to do with OMD in and of itself. |

There is on Comicvine I believe, but it requires looking through pages worth of one thread to find it.
Quote:
He said in one interview that the marriage is like Charlie Brown kicking the football, but in the actual RYV story he shows just how much more mature Peter is in the role of a hero and a father and there are no bitter consequences or moments of doubt for the couple (except for that one bit at the end where MJ wonders if Peter would have killed Regent if Annie had been harmed, but she's not mad at him or anything). He even ends the story with "this life doesn't mean the end of yours" Slott said in a Comicvine video interview (you can find this one easily on Youtube), Peter and MJ without the marriage in the main books is "no fun" to write for because they can't go anywhere else...but in the same interview he says MJ is a limitless character when she is married to Peter. Also, during Spider-Verse, he actually made Peter and MJ's son Benjy (from Mayday's MC2 universe) a vital part of a prophecy and an object of the Inheritor's quest, and he went out of his way to protect the Spider-Man Newspaper Strip (prior to this year's RYV, the only other ongoing series which uses the marriage) from the events of that story and later from the incursions of the Secret Wars event by having Inheritor Karn seal it off in a pocket dimension (which it's since broken free of) So yeah, I think while Slott does have his own ideas about the marriage, he's slightly bi-polar on the subject. You sort of just have to accept that he's a notorious spinster who will say and do things that everyone wants to hear and read, so long as it gives him and the company a sizeable buzz.
