    Default OMD: Let's whine about it! - MEGATHREAD!

    Well, we knew it had to happen. It was great fun for a little while to see five OMD-related threads spring up every day, but not unlike the Simpsons, it just stopped being funny after awhile.

    So here it is. Your one-stop shopping for comments that run the gamut from "Wah, they're breaking up the marriage!" to "Wah, you're not supporting the books!" to "Wah, stop whining about me whining!" to "Wah, no, I'm gonna keep whining about you whining!"

    Have at it, gladiators. You who are about to die, salute me.

    Default The ending to OMD revealed? *POTENTIALLY MASSIVE SPOILERS!*

    If this is true (and I believe it is, as it makes complete sense with the way the story is going), then I stick to my statement 100% that I am out with the conclusion of OMD.

    Last chance to back off.

    Here is the low down.

    It's pretty much what we all suspected. The marriage will be erased from history due to a deal that is offered to Peter. He has to undone some points in history that led to the unmasking in order to save Aunt May. While he is pondering the ethics of the choice made to him, MJ secretly makes the deal for him. Because she was instrumental in his choice to unmask, she chooses to go back and never reveal she knew he was Spider-Man. This undoes the marriage. As a "gift" due to her bold choice, she is granted powers and becomes Jackpot. She is warned that if she reveals the past to Peter, who has no memory of it, then it will create a timeline shockwave. As a result, Peter is back to status quo, single and with a secret identity. Aunt May doesn't know who is either.

    Sorry marriage fans.

    Got to admit... the MJ twist would be interesting. It never occured to me MJ could be the one to make the choice.

    We all know it's coming, we just expected Peter to do it.

    IF this is true, then I"m sorry Marvel.

    No more 616 Spider-man for me, until Peter and MJ are married again. :(

    Hello, Ultimate Spidey and Spider-girl, AKA the REAL Peter and MJ livestyle as Teenagers and as a married family. :D

    I am a huge Spidy fan and i thought the unmasking had some great stores it brought flash,betty and liz back in the comics fold but the recon to erase the unmasking ,giving MJ powers and bring Spidy to Square 1 being single and brand New its like the whole spidy stores to this point wont hapen
    Im still going to buy Amazing 3x a month I wonder if this means peter will remember the job he had with jjj but i am defenly selling my Spider-man books and a lot of my comics its kind've ironic because im trying to start fresh and it looks like so is spidy

    The fact that MJ knows what is real could lead to some very interesting future plots. I can't see this lasting more than a year.

    It would be a great storyline, depending on Jackpot's powers, to have certain heroes racing to stop her from revealing the truth to Peter, who I'm sure would want certain elements of that option life that he had.

    I think what I've always thought: It would be a lame idea to do this.

    But, thats it. It would be a stupid story (and there have been a lot of those through the years). I would still read afterwards, if the stories are good. I read Spider-Man because I love Spider-Man, not because I love married Peter Parker.

    I think the marriage is great, and I like the couple. But its out of my hands. I love my Brother's wife, and hope they stay together forever because they make a REALLY good couple. But if they end up getting divorced, or if my brother decides for some dumb reason to leave her for another woman, I wouldnt stop seeing my brother.

    I have to agree with your statements on reading Spidey, just for Spidey, but to me i was brought up during the time when Peter and MJ were married and some things like that just don't go away over time. :(

    I be checking in from time to time to see the new BND status quo for Spider-man, but that is it. :(

    I give you what will cause marvel to have their first Crisis.

    Because if this happens I'm not even sure if the Spider-man in ASM will even be in the 616.
    McKenstry those with the most opinions often have the fewest facts.

    Barack Obama There's not a liberal America and a conservative America - there's the United States of America.

    Christopher Yost Cyclops = Awesome and Right, while Xavier = USELESS JERK-O! Viva la Cyclops!

    Facts are the enemy of truth.

    You gonna get us out of here. With that tight-ass Wolverine outfit on. Now, let's make it happen, asshole

    Uh-Oh Spaghetti O's!
    What about Norman Osborn?
    Does he even remember?
    What's Spidey's situation on the Initative's Most Wanted List?
    Does This Mean Harry Osborn Is Still Alive?
    Kraven?
    Ben Reilly?


    Well whatever happens, Norman Osborn is going to end up retroactively responsible for it.

    I'm really amazed he didn't bother to contact Angel, Elixir or Dr Strange who can heal people without anyone's soul or happiness compromised.

    I was informed of the end of the story even before it had finished being drawn and I can't help but think it's bloody stupid. Then again, I guess they needed some way to get rid of the whole revealing his identity thing from Civil War.

    If this is true I really, REALLY hate the retcon itself since it's such a cheap device to get everything back nice and neat like it was before Peter and MJ were married but it looks like it'll be a neccessary evil to get these all new stories and to have Peter Parker free again. Although it is interesting to have a reversal of MJ knowing all about them but Peter being in the dark about the whole thing. Plus it makes the Jackpot identity a great deal more interesting since it looks like she'll be pining for him.

    Again, this sucks hard and feels like a lame way to do it but at the same time I can see why.
