I can't believe a hero as seasoned as Spidey would ever make a deal with the Devil. Not for any reason.


As noted earlier, I agree. I was just pointing out, like you, that the motivation was especially stupid and they could have at least fixed one gaping plot whole very easily by doing it for MJ instead of Aunt May.

which would've been more heroic and tragic. but even then it was kind of already done like 10 years ago in Flash.

Yeah, but when faced with a choice between "kind of already done ten years ago" and "this is completely stupid, out of character and will piss people off to no end," I would think (given fandom's general tolerance for cliche) that it would be better to go with the former plot.

I'm with G-Man. More tragic, better story. The whole Aunt May thing is horrible. Maybe they'll do a What If? and have a story with it being Mary Jane instead, or had them give a fuck off to Mephisto and had Aunt May die

They should do a What If? where Aunt May dies at the end of OMD, and then Spidey says "You know what? That wasn't so bad".

He already went through her "death" once, you'd think a second time he'd be able to cope better.

I guess the lesson here is that Spiderman would never had pulled the plug on Terry Schiavo. Funny. I never saw him as a member of the Christian right.

This is what I see happening.

May has been saved cause Spidey sold his soul to the devil.
May will die of something else.
Spidey will say "You cheated me, you are not having my soul!"

The devil will then make him the spirit of vengeance and ride a firey bike.
Peter will drift across the country fighting such people as a man who wears a giant eyeball for a mask!
Spideys head will set on fire!

Yeah, "Layer Cake" is so good it actually ruined Craig as Bond for me. I can't see him as anyone but the bloke in Layer Cake.

I am aware of what "imagination" is. It's that magical land where Algore almost let Manbearpig kill us all. ;\)

All I'm saying, however, is that sometimes you see an actor as a certain character and that affects how you see him or her in other roles.

Craig's "Layer Cake" work (and his "Road to Perdition" work for that matter), was excellent, but it was so "unBondlike" that, coupled with the different tone that producers used for "Casino Royale" made it difficult for me to see him as the iconic version of Bond.

You fuckin leave Manbearpig out of this. It was Al Gore's nuclear fetish that nearly destroyed our imagination. Then again, if the Republican govt. hadn't let terrorist invade our imagination in the first place

Sounds good, though wouldn't it be better with a fiery Spider-mobile since, y'know, we have to keep it within context of the Spider-man story?
























































oh riiiiiiiiiight, they already blew that out of the water...

Apparently there's a plethora of video's about OMD on Youtube. There's one that's pretty good. Almost made me think OMD was a good story. In fact, if Peter had told Mephisto to stuff it at the end and let Aunt May die it would have been awesome. I tried to embed them but I can't so here's a page

Thanks. Where did you get that embedding code? I mean, I know about the Tube button on the tool bar but the embedding codes I get from the Youtube page looks like this-

<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aa9ygMEqF1E&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aa9ygMEqF1E&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

Take this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9u0S3HuCMrg&feature=related

Now, take only this part of it: 9u0S3HuCMrg

Now, put that between the

Ok, forget the embedding, the code you need is in there, but its the url thats easier to work with.
The url for that last clip is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9u0S3HuCMrg (the "&feature=related" only appears because you have obviously clicked on a related item, so ignore that).


In that url, the only bit of code you need is the bit after the = symbol, 9u0S3HuCMrg.

Take that list of random letters and numbers, and put them between the youtube ubb tags!

I've (wisely it seems) skipped over most of the OMD books. However, in the first video that you (Pro) posted, when I got to the sequence with the "painted" artwork my first thought was "wtf? why is Iggy Pop talking to Peter about some divine cosmic plan? Is this a crossover with the Venture Brothers or something?"

Harry Osbourne, eh? Giving Flash Thompson, confirmed alcoholic, a full glass of champagne? Almost as if he's evil...

There are multiple reports that retailers have received requests from customers, often long time comic book fans, to drop their Spider-Man titles, even all their Marvel titles, after reading the conclusion of "One More Day". However, a number of retailers have reported an increased interest of "Brand New Day" readers.

But before LITG readers leave all their Marvel books in droves... consider "Spider-Girl." A monthly title published by Marvel featuring Peter Parker and Mary Jane, married, and even their little May Parker swinging around. If you really want a "screw you Joe" message, then sending this book up the ratings, written by a previous Editor-In-Chief to boot, would really do the trick. I understand some retailers have seen a small upswing for that book.

Joe Quesada uses the "Spider-Girl" example in his CBR interview, in a fairly dismissive and sarcastic fashion. But it’ll need a drop in Spider-Man sales and a bigger upswing in "Spider-Girl" before anyone will take any notice.


 Quote:
And remember, don't just blame Joe Quesada and Joe Michael Straczynski for "One More Day." According to the CBR interview, you have to blame Brian Bendis, Mark Millar, Jeph Loeb, Tom Brevoort, Axel Alonzo, Ed Brubaker and Dan Slott too!

My brother came down over the weekend so we could catch the Bruins game, and we talked about this abortion of a storyline. Basically, we were figuring out how many past and present storylines this fucks up. One of the points we figured out, and doubt that anyone considered, is how this affects Thunderbolts. How is Norman going to deal with the fact that his son is alive, among other things?

I doubt it will have too much effect on Thunderbolts. Ellis is in pretty much a unique position in that he doesn't have to deal with things like this if he doesn't feel like it (which I'm sure he doesn't). I'm sure they're aware that if they attempted to force it on him, he'd simply walk away from their books, which they don't want.

Which doesn't surprise me, but also supports my point that OMD and BND are bullshit stories.

He makes a decent argument but...SPIDER-MAN MADE A FUCKING DEAL WITH THE DEVIL!

Not to mention continuity is far more fucked up then JQ lets on with Harry back and everything. He sounded very presumptuous too.

Mary Jane's actually the one that made the deal. because you know, Spidey's marriage is evil and ruins his character.
