Jim Shooter on the Spider-Marriage + Writers/Artists sound off on the marriage

[Jim Thompson]

You know what, I really think this is how Marvel views Spidey these days--but I still don't think Bugs would have made a deal with Mephisto--even if he looked like Yosemite Sam or Elmer Fudd!

Well, Bugs probably would have figured out a way to outwit his antagonist, this is true.

Bugs Bunny always wins, that's this thing. Can't compare the two.

No rule is absolute. Fudd beat him once:

No rule is absolute. Fudd beat him once:

"KILL THE SPI-I-I-DER, KILL THE SPI-I-I-DER...!"

Sorry, I tried to resist...

Glad you didn't. That's pretty funny -- especially if one thinks of Kraven running around saying it.

[Scott Taylor]

I'm glad to not be the only one to occasionally see parallels between Kraven and Elmer Fudd.

Question for you all: How come when two gay characters tie the knot it doesn't automatically "age" them?

That particular thing is not a major issue with Northstar and the most recent character.

spoilers:

Northstar's primary character trait has been arrogance. I always figured that he would be in his thirties. Batwoman isn't Batgirl. She can't be too young, considering the character's backstory (kicked out of the military, downward spiral, years of training to become a superhero.)

I think because there are no gay characters at the level of Spider-Man (Batman, Superman etc) so nobody cares how old they come across.

Though I don't believe marriage ages any character, personally

I don't know as it's a "major" issue for Spider-Man, either.

Yeah, I've never bought into that notion either.
