I keep seeing people make this comment, and it makes no sense whatsoever.
Unlike when this sort of thing normally happens (and only in comics will I ever be able to type THAT sentence) Ock has access to all of Peter's memories. When he tells MJ her favorite things, well, only Peter is going to know things like that. There isn't going to be a case of:
"This is just like our trip to London." "Ah yes, London, I loved it there." "Fiend! We've never been to London! Who are you, really?!"
That ain't happening here. Most of his miscues are for the reader; the people around him are not generally going to know them or notice. Regardless of how cutesy meta writers like to get these days, most of the non-superhero cast is never going to notice anything wrong with him. They may never notice because he can placate them with intimate details only Peter could ever know.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
