FF #17 - How do you solve a problem like Johnny Storm

[sherkahn]

We saw the preview earlier, and at times I can hear The Hangover movie theme playing in the background as I read this fun issue, and at times I hear "How do you solve a problem like Maria?"

yeah, I'm weird like that.

So many choice pages to post, but I have already posted 2, so I can only do 2 more.








Yes, that is Mary Jane Watson getting funky with Johnny Storm.

New true love for Peter!

Yes, that is Mary Jane Watson getting funky with Johnny Storm.

it's a skrull.

[shadowpsykie]

we all know that while MJ and Johnny are getting funky, they BOTH wish it was Peter they were getting funky with :D its' the Lancelot/Guinevere/Arthur Triangle. Three ways for EVERYONE!

[espanolbot]

Horseman is scary. Him about to get it on with a regular horse, even more so.

[his_spiffynesss]

Is that one of the Mole Man's people hanging with them? The little guy in the slacks?

[darkknightjrk]

Still better than Carlie.

[darkknightjrk]

This...this is the greatest issue ever, isn't it?

[icon_uk]

They probably have more in common than Petey and the lady from Centauri IV.

[brooms]

the johny/lancelot comparison is apt.

worst. friend. ever.

hide yo (ex)gfs, hide yo (ex)wives.

[shadowpsykie]

actually, in most of my interpretations of lancelot most of his love for guinevere mostly comes from his love of arthur and his inability to express that (except for in Mists of Avalon where he actually DID express it, stll didnt end too well)

[brooms]

... he's still a sucky friend no matter how you slice it?

it doesn't matter where his ~luv comes from, sleeping with a friend's significant other does not an amazing best bud makes.

it's backstabbing at its finest.

More likely the Dire Wraith on Johnny's team.

[brooms]

i was aiming for a bad alicia masters/lyja joke.

[q99]

Peter's Guinevere, MJ's Arthur, and Johnny's Lancelot?

[q99]

She'd be real competition for MJ even if the two were still married!

[shadowpsykie]

yeah.... but the Arthur Guinevere lancelot story, aside from Mort D Artur (which only ever glanced over it) was a lot more complicated than that.....

[shadowpsykie]

actually i was gonna go with MJ as Guinever, Peter as Arthur, and Johnny as Lancelot. however, that works too LOL

[icon_uk]

Is it? Guinevere was married to Arthur, she and Lancelot had the hots for each other. She cheated on the man she married, and Lancelot slept with his King/best friends wife.

What's complicated about that?

[icon_uk]

Aren't there a few Moloids hanging around the Future Foundation? Maybe Johnny asked one to drop by.

[sherkahn]

Some of the Future Foundation kids are hyper-intelligent Moloids.

[shadowpsykie]

depends on which interpretations you are reading. some of it is interpreted as Lancelot's displaced or confused love for Arthur. Another interpretation was that Arthur was more concerned with camelot than with guinevere (and though he DID love her he neglected her) in many interpretations and translations Arthur KNEW about the relationship and while he could not officially condone it, he over looked it because they were both people he loved and he knew that he had not been as attentive as he could/should have been. really, if they were just allowed to have the three way, things would ahve worked out (Arthur/Guinevere/lancelot are the poster children for "One True Threesome")

[leoboiko]

Not necessarily, no. It’s not backstabbing when everyone’s consenting. There are such things as non-monogamous relationships, you know? I’m in one, and I for one would just love it if a best bud of mine started a relationship with my spouse.

[brooms]

it's backstabbing at its finest. (*)

(*) for people involved in monogamous relationships.

[brooms]

yeah, i've read mists, too, and i still found lancelot a piece of shit douchebag friend in that, too.

i just really don't care for either lancelot or guinevere in mosts versions of the legend, tbh. they just rub me in the worst possible way. i'm in it for arthur, iseult and the witches.

[baihu]

Depends. I see it as the 'Tauren don't get funky with cows, same way humans don't get funky with the Stranglethorn gorillas' argument. One's a sentient race, the other is (as far as we know, I'm keeping in mind that horse might be a Skrull) a beast.
