The Peter Parker/Mary Jane Watson Marriage Will Never Return

Walt

One of the many things that bothers me about Marvel was the removal of regular Marvel continuity of the marriage between Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson. It just did not make sense to me. Marvel and then editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics Joe Quesada did not make clear their reason for doing this. When confronted with a backlash by fans due to his decision to dictate a controversial reversal of Peter Parker’s marriage to Mary Jane Watson in the “One More Day” storyline, Quesada participated in a series of interviews…

Shades of Jedi: Die Jedi Die

Walt

From the Star Wars trailer for The Last Jedi Luke Skywalker says to Rey “it’s time for the Jedi to end.” What could he mean by this and what other clues do we have in Star Wars folklore that lead us to the answer. There is some question about all the Star Wars reading material before and since Disney took over Lucasfilm and what is canon and related to the movies.
