Ever since "One More Day," it seems like Marvel has done everything they can to diminish Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson as a couple, and not just in ret-conning their previous marital status and giving Peter various other love interests to pursue. But then along comes the finale to "Spider-Island" to suddenly remind us why fans loved these two as a couple in the first place.

First of all, we get an explanation as to why MJ seemed to be the last one in New York to develop Spider-powers:

So...yeah. Peter's fear that he may have given Carlie a "Spidey Transmitted Disease" as a result of "sharing a toothbrush" (among other things) back in Amazing Spider-Man #667? Turns out it he had the right idea, albeit a different girl with different results.

Anyway, Spidey and his clone Kaine team-up against The Queen (who now has transformed into a giant 28-story half-woman, half-spider creature) only for the Queen to swat Spidey away like...well, a bug. And who comes in for the save?

Spidey's plan? To use Doc Ock's miniature octo-bots (the one's from Amazing Spider-Man #600) to administer the Anti-Venom cure to all those infected with the "Spider-Island virus." So he and MJ go up to the Empire State Building to better broadcast the signal, leading to this moment:

Due to everyone being cured, the Queen is weakened, allowing Kaine to deliver the killing blow. The day is saved, and what do Peter and MJ do the celebrate? They snuggle!

And if that weren't enough, Peter seems to have completely forgotten all about Carlie Cooper. You know, the woman who is supposed to be his actual girlfriend? :-P

Okay, maybe this doesn't necessarily mean Peter and MJ will get back together again right away, but it sure seems things are moving in that direction, do they not?

YESSSSSSS!!! But it does make me wonder how Slott will handle the break up of Carlie if she is still alive. Even for her current representation I don't wish the fate MJ had to be put on her...

The preview for Amazing Spider-Man #673 shows that Carlie is indeed still alive...albeit in a rather compromising and potentially embarrassing predicament. :-D

you mean this? :D

god its hilarious... all the aritrary things that stay... bionic arm... Headband, beard loss :D

also LOVE hercules being all "AH nakedness! i LOVE nakedness!" also notice he said PEOPLE, not WOmen :D

you mean this? :D

Yep. :-D

am i the only one who see's Clint... ummm... he seems to be not looking at t'challa's face....

I like how everyone is more confused by what stayed or went while they were giant spiders, than by being giant spiders in the first place, and they're just examining who lost what rather than freaking out over waking up naked in strange places. "So we were giant spiders. Huh. I lost my rockin' beard, but Misty kept her headband! That's not fair!"

why... why does she still have her *glasses* on?!?!!!!

Unless it's so we know it's her. Pfft.

There was a moment where some random guy questioned why he still had his glasses, wondering if he'd somehow been a spider with glasses on! LOL!

I guess that's what writers call, 'hanging a lampshade on it..'

God I wish more writers did that. In today's age, genre savviness should be a common thing.

But Slott's writing, (for the most part,) has always had a savy, lightness of touch to it. His Spiderman Human Torch series was sublime!

trust me there's a ton of writers who do it. I've gotten to the point where it just makes me roll my eyes and go "okay, you're so clever, now move onto somehting that matters"

Being jaded was never my style.

I'm just sick of the joke is all. I think it happened in Young Justice
