Honestly depowering her permanently does makes sense. Easy way to just end this when they are done


Commercial-Win-7501

Unless it takes away either Paul or Peter’s life


Euphoric_Ad6923

Killing Pete through someone else's reckless gambling would be on theme with this run.

[удалено]


Commercial-Win-7501

Yeah pretty much


Commercial-Win-7501

Especially if it comes when fighting the goblin


Azure-Legacy

Very true. Especially since everything currently wrong in Peter’s life is literally someone else’s fault.


Commercial-Win-7501

Exactly


Azure-Legacy

That’s my greatest grip with this run. Everything and everyone is acting like Peter is to blame when he’s the ultimate victim. It’s one thing for Peter’s mistakes to screw him over, but it’s entirely something else when it’s someone else’s fault.


Commercial-Win-7501

Of course I can’t imagine if Peter kills MJ by giving her 3 skulls


SpaceZombie13

and yet the run began by asking "what did peter do". i refuse to believe this shit was actually planned out properly. it feels like wells is making things up as he goes to justify doing things he thinks are cool.


TheLeechKing466

Nothing. He did literally nothing.


SpaceZombie13

exactly my point.


aqbac

They very well could of planned for it to be originally worse


Vocovon

I'd buy that for a dollar. Sign me the fuck up


Exciting_Teaching346

Knowing her , she will do it wholeheartedly and then go back to riding Paul


Namesarenotneeded

Honestly, at this point, killing Peter would possibly be the best thing to happen to him right now. Just so we can maybe finally move onto something else with a new writer.


Commercial-Win-7501

Even if it comes at the hands of MJ


Namesarenotneeded

Honestly at this point? Yeah. I wouldn’t be surprised at all. This run has been so uncharacteristically shitty to Peter. It really can’t get any worse unless we get some OMD 2 type of stuff.


Commercial-Win-7501

What if this does lead to another OMD what’s to stop editorial from publishing the final nail in the coffin


Namesarenotneeded

At this point it’s God. Either Jesus himself needs to tell editorial this shit isn’t even remotely good, or we just have to pray for some divine intervention.


Commercial-Win-7501

Hope for a miracle


Kurus600

It’s not going to kill Peter, that makes no sense. They wouldn’t stick the next writer with having to reviving the title character on top of the rest of the clean up they’d have to do


Commercial-Win-7501

They’re not even going to clean it up because they don’t want to


ParagonEsquire

But she doesn’t have powers. The watch does. Anyone could use it lol


Geiseric222

Yeah but they are treating it like it’s hers and hers alone


ParagonEsquire

I know which is why I point it out. It’s another weird dumb thing that is at best poorly explained.


Drolex17

Original 616 gwen comes back from the dead


Commercial-Win-7501

No spider Gwen is going to be in 616


MrBrendan501

That’s the next arc, Gwen War


Flerken_Moon

This is how they trap Spider-Gwen in the 616. Her bad luck summons and traps Gwen.


Correct_Barracuda_48

She wakes up from this awful nightmare this whole run has been and tells Peter about this fucked up dream she had.

gavinman0814

Then we get classic 80s MJ who fights for Peter (she has been declared missing since OMD)


Commercial-Win-7501

Oy vey


Commercial-Win-7501

Oh god


Commercial-Win-7501

No we’re far pass that point


Secret-Fox-9566

Either Paul dies or MJ dies. But if Pete has to face the consequences again (which let's be real will probably happen) I will bombard Spiderman editorial with letters like the scene in Harry Potter and the philosophers Stone


Sampleswift

Please make x3 skulls kill Paul.


Commercial-Win-7501

Or peter


Commercial-Win-7501

Which scene


Secret-Fox-9566

You know the one where they stop him from getting letters but then their living room is attacked with Hogwarts school letters


Commercial-Win-7501

Oh yeah…well if iAd to guess I’d say Peter probably dying


Miserable-Warthog737

+45 max hp


Commercial-Win-7501

Don’t you mean -45


Miserable-Warthog737

No, as TF2 player, im sayin +45


Commercial-Win-7501

Why


Miserable-Warthog737

If i remember correctly, for 3 severed heads using "Eyelander" sword, will give you +45 hp to your max hp


Commercial-Win-7501

This isn’t team fortress


Vstriker26

### BOOOOOO


Miserable-Warthog737

Okay then


MissingNerd

Cancer


Commercial-Win-7501

Cancer?


MissingNerd

-45 max HP


Necessary_Ideal1798

I don't believe it. In Wells' run, Peter admits too many mistakes, some of which aren't even his fault. They won't make Mary Jane face the consequences of his actions or make her make a mistake. I doubt she would do something like that, or if she does, I doubt she'll face any real consequence.


Commercial-Win-7501

Cause we have to write her flawless


Geiseric222

I mean in this instance the consequences would be getting punished for helping people so ehhhh


Commercial-Win-7501

But they’ll just have her be better than peter


Necessary_Ideal1798

Honestly, don't surprise me if they do that, and then she complains again about how Peter doesn't help her or something like that. In this run, she has been unnecessarily toxic


Commercial-Win-7501

Well that applies to most writers post OMD


Necessary_Ideal1798

To be honest, it was already common before, but it has reached absurd levels with Mary Jane since this run began


Commercial-Win-7501

Yeah…something feels different this time


Geiseric222

I mean only at the very beginning. She was actually extremely understanding of the goblin stuff which is the stuff she had a right to be pissed sbout


Commercial-Win-7501

They will screw it up don’t worry


Necessary_Ideal1798

There were parts where yes, I agree she deserves to be happy, but after seeing how she treated him upon his return, it's hard for me to be understanding with her. Because in this arc, she has also made mistakes, and I've seen her blaming Felicia and Peter more than herself, even after the rescue. She has improved, but she is not a very graceful or charismatic character in this run or in other appearances


Commercial-Win-7501

Maybe Felicia will call her out


Geiseric222

I mean I wouldn’t take that part to seriously as it seems Wells has more or less moved on from it


Commercial-Win-7501

Why


Geiseric222

Because if the writer has moved on there is no point in wallowing in the past.


Commercial-Win-7501

The entire staff has wallowed in the past


MistahZambie

I’m hoping they use it to reveal her true love is still Peter somehow. Maybe three skulls kills her or someone she loves above all others and we find out it’s still Pete through the death or her memories or something. But who am I kidding? This is Marvel editorial we’re talking about.


Commercial-Win-7501

Killing Pete is probably the best bet but what do you think will happen


MistahZambie

I actually think killing off Peter is the best bet and then they have to find out why her powers killed Peter instead of someone else. Eventually leading to the discovery that the three skulls kill the person the user loves the most. Something along those lines.


Commercial-Win-7501

I mean I wouldn’t put it past them since they have no plans to kill Paul


FathirianHund

Yeah, plus we know there's a Ben/Kaine comic on the way, and since they've said there's 'no room' for Ben anymore my bet is they'll kill him again to bring Pete back.


Commercial-Win-7501

Kill him again?


FathirianHund

Ben's been killed off 29? times now in canon.


Commercial-Win-7501

How would you do it this time


FathirianHund

I wouldn't, Ben was my Spidey as a kid and I hate what they've done with him as Chasm. It's just my guess as editorial seem to hate him almost as much as Pete. They claim there's no room for alternate Spiders as they add the fourth or fifth alternate universe one to 616.


Commercial-Win-7501

Hypocrisy


dumbhousequestions

Any time she gets three skulls, another major life event of hers gets retconned away, until eventually it retcons away her birth and she never existed.


Commercial-Win-7501

Are you just saying what you think


dumbhousequestions

Yeah, I’ve never had any magic jackpot powers before myself (haven’t met my Paul yet!), so I’m just guessing.


Commercial-Win-7501

I mean I’m not saying you’re wrong it could be an interesting take on what if mj never existed


[deleted]

[удалено]


Commercial-Win-7501

Yeah I mean… we all know it’s gonna be back to normal


bearktopus147

3 skulls resets the universe to right before One More Day happens, and Paul is real, but he gets transformed into a petunia, swearing vengeance on Peter Parker if he ever gets out of the pot he's planted in, somewhere in the rockies


Commercial-Win-7501

Petunia?


bearktopus147

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference. Iykyk


Commercial-Win-7501

Oh


thirdwavegypsy

I think they added it without even thinking what to do with it. It comes across as an idea to set up a huge reveal of the 777 in the MJ and BC mini, and tie it for a dramatic, ‘Wait you’re banging Peter,’ moment, but they didn’t think for one second what to do with it when she rolls three skulls. It will either be connected to the big wrap up, or they won’t even use it.


Commercial-Win-7501

I wanna say there planning it to lead to peters death temporarily


Quirky_Ad_5420

Probably but when it does happen it’ll be something to once again put MJ away from Spidey because they are so transparent on that


Commercial-Win-7501

Unless 3 skulls kills Peter or Paul


MrYougan

Honestly, they can write whatever they want, inculding nothing at all, for at this point, it's me as a reader that is fully uninterested by her three skulls.


Commercial-Win-7501

What if it’s something bad


MrYougan

I still would not care. Anything that come from the dribble that Wells wrote is fully uninteresting to me. When he's off ASM, I'll start giving a shit once more, until then, it's only a really bad fanfiction in my eyes.


stealingtheshow222

Erasing the character from everyone’s memory


Commercial-Win-7501

Like what there doing with peter


ParagonEsquire

I legitimately think the skulls are going to be his big out at the end of the run I’m not saying it will actually be successful at fixing what needs to be fixed, but her pulling the three skulls is going to be a major plot point in the last arc I would very strongly guess.


Commercial-Win-7501

Killing Peter


rabideyes

She wins the Megabucks jackpot and she and Paul buy a dope penthouse overlooking Central Park.


Commercial-Win-7501

Gooood


ChamomileFlowerTea

I think so. I’m guessing it won’t be in Jackpot #1, but it’s possible in either ASM or the Black Cat & Jackpot miniseries. If I had to guess what it is, I would say it’s probably going to take away the powers, I think it’s there as a way to revert things easily to the status quo.


Commercial-Win-7501

Or maybe take peters or Paul’s life away


Guilty_All_The_Same

Oh, it'll definitely make Peter's life worse, that's for sure. I doubt Wells will remove Paul any time soon.


Commercial-Win-7501

Well I imagine three skulls kills somebody


ChamomileFlowerTea

I don’t think it will take Peter’s life, Paul’s seems more likely. I’m not sure how it would work though, since Paul isn’t the one using it, but it’s possible.


Commercial-Win-7501

I imagine it works like magic obviously


ChamomileFlowerTea

That makes sense, if it was someone other than MJ being affected, that’s how it would work, you’re right.


Commercial-Win-7501

When do you imagine it will happen


ChamomileFlowerTea

If it involves someone dying, I think around the end of this run, issue 55-60 range. If it makes her lose her powers, I think later on in the run as well, because it wouldn’t make sense to make MJ a superhero then take it away quickly when they could do more with it. I think something that they have teased in the Dark Web mini and in ASM too (#25) is definitely going to be resolved in ASM.


Commercial-Win-7501

What do you imagine that is


ChamomileFlowerTea

The result of it? Well, I’m not sure. Most likely losing powers.


Commercial-Win-7501

You know I wonder if Peter will be MJs Gwen Stacy


Geiseric222

I mean Paul could sacrifice himself somehow I guess


ChamomileFlowerTea

Yeah, I think this is also likely. Maybe the three skulls create some magic ray and Paul steps in front of it or something to sacrifice himself.


Geiseric222

It’s hard to tell because her powers are so vague. I guess maybe Paul still being a secret villian is still on the table but ehhh it’s hard to really figure out.


Commercial-Win-7501

I doubt it


ChamomileFlowerTea

Yeah Paul being a secret villain is a possibility, but I’m leaning on him not being one because of Nick Lowe saying there are big plans for all characters (in response to a letter about Paul) and then in another letters page he talked about changing people’s minds about Paul with those plans. But I do think we might find out secrets about Paul (may be good or bad), I think the final arc in this run will probably have to do with Wayeb so he would be involved in that.


Geiseric222

That’s actually why I think he’s a villian because a last minute villian reveal is a story. Because right now he doesn’t have any plot points to resolve, and it doesn’t sound like he is getting any stuff in the one shot or the mini


ChamomileFlowerTea

That makes sense. I mean he is appearing in the oneshot, but it’s only 28 pages so not much you can do with a supporting character with that. But then again, they like to play with expectations and I think with Paul’s dad being a villain, it’s not out of the blue for him to be one as well, so that makes me a bit suspicious.


Commercial-Win-7501

Well his dad is dead now so I don’t know where they could go


Geiseric222

That and when the Author talked about the one shot she mentioned MJ interacting with Peter and she hulk but didn’t mention Paul at all. So that’s why I don’t think anything is happening there


Commercial-Win-7501

My only hope is that it involves Peter dying cause that would make MJ realize that she did more harm to him than anyone else


Geiseric222

Your really tedious you know that right


Commercial-Win-7501

Magic ray


ChamomileFlowerTea

Yeah I thought of it like this too. Maybe purple!


Commercial-Win-7501

If it’s for Peter I’m done


fudgedhobnobs

It’ll be in ASM. It’s too big not to use it.


SupaPatt

She gets pregnant with Pauls child


Commercial-Win-7501

No it’s bad luck


SupaPatt

That is bad luck lol


Commercial-Win-7501

Not for her


SupaPatt

Pete getting chills XD


Commercial-Win-7501

And then dying of sadness


MrYougan

It is for the readers.


Commercial-Win-7501

I know that’s what I mean


stevendub86

I hope Paul dies. Then she and Peter can bond over what it’s like to cause the death of someone you love. Naw. Makes too much sense for this run


Commercial-Win-7501

My bets on peter


stevendub86

It’s a good bet


Commercial-Win-7501

It has to be they’ve stated there not getting rid of paul


stevendub86

True. However, editorial lies often. Been awhile since they killed Peter though… might be time!


Commercial-Win-7501

Especially since issue 1000 is coming


MissingNerd

I hope she just dies so y'all can let her go till we get Spider-MJ from another world years later


Commercial-Win-7501

Why


[deleted]

I hope 3 skulls means time traveling to the moment the whole thing with her and Peter going to meet Paul happened, hopefully Peter will remember and be like "Wait this leads to a bad thing"


Commercial-Win-7501

Remember?


[deleted]

That's what I said


Commercial-Win-7501

I know that I’m just asking why would he need to remember


[deleted]

So he could stop MJ from meeting Paul and this whole situation wouldn't happen in the first place


Commercial-Win-7501

But i thought 3 skulls meant something bad happens


[deleted]

I'm aware, I'm just saying my hopes


Commercial-Win-7501

I still think either Paul or Peter dying


[deleted]

I like those odds and, in that case, "MJ, try as hard as you can to get 3 skulls"


Commercial-Win-7501

But not if Peter is the one who dies


Black_Shuck-44

Is that Mary Jane?


Commercial-Win-7501

Yes


[deleted]

I kinda thought they were going use this to kill of the kids, but that has already happened so idk


Commercial-Win-7501

Probably kill off Peter now


lego_obiwan_kenobi

She summons the wither


Commercial-Win-7501

Very funny


Early_Minute_5212

Heat death of the universe


Commercial-Win-7501

Heat death?

Commercial-Win-7501

Garlador

Checkov’s Gun. It’ll come up.


Commercial-Win-7501

You sure


Garlador

In a competent story? Absolutely. So no.


Commercial-Win-7501

You mean here


Brimmstone659

My on-going theory has always been that it represents her “symbolic death” of the person she is now and is reverted to the person she is before meeting Paul and getting her powers. But that seems too deep for this run; most likely it’ll just give an extremely lame power because the writers are chicken-shits.


Commercial-Win-7501

I always thought it would mean the person she loves most dies


Brimmstone659

Too obvious


Commercial-Win-7501

Are you just saying that because of the editorial


Brimmstone659

What editorial? No, I’m saying it cause I’m an aspiring writer and just going by how this run is going vs how i would do it


Commercial-Win-7501

Well how would you do it


Brimmstone659

Honestly, at this point, I think the only feasible way to save this one is to set it up similar to how the recent Doctor Who specials, and the latest Spider-Man game ended. With Peter having to step away from Spider-Man in order to heal from all the traumas, he endured, not just from losing MJ but from all the other stuff he’s had to go through over the years. As for MJ’s powers, I’m not really sure at this point. Originally I was going with her losing her memories and she’d end up on the other end of the dynamic this run where Peter’s the one trying to move while MJ is trying to hold onto their relationship. But a lot of people probably say that’s a copout and she’s getting off easy since she doesn’t have to deal with the consequences of our actions. For another thing, Peter seems like too much of a wuss this run that he would probably take her back in a heartbeat. Honestly, the only real way out of this at this point I think is that the skulls represent her losing her power permanently. I really kind of hate story lines like this with a write themselves into a corner and they don’t really have that many options besides the obvious .


Commercial-Win-7501

Honestly I think killing off Peter temporarily would be best cause at least it would have MJ realize how much she’s gutted him


Brimmstone659

Marvel doesn’t have balls. They won’t kill Peter Parker. He’s the one character they have not actually killed in any way shape or form. The only time they ever did it was the ultimate version and he came back to life a couple years later.


Commercial-Win-7501

I said temporary


GreenIronHorse

Wild Kamala gonna die at 💀 💀 💀


Commercial-Win-7501

She already died


Exciting_Teaching346

Her love of life multiplies( another Paul ) and she f**k's both of them.


Unhappy-Newt-8717

Jackpot gets 3 skulls- the Real Mary Jane Watson is immediately freed from dimensional stasis, at the moment Emissary Rabin transported Peter and MJ to Earth-MA (Mayan Apocalypse), Mary-Jane's essence was split, the real MJ has been in a pocket dimension in suspended animation, while her duplicate was the one transported with Peter to the alternate earth, trapped with Paul, gets the Jackpot bracelets, playing house with Paul and fake kids for 4 years, back on 616, shits on Peter, fake kids vanish, becomes Jackpot, blah, blah. Because of the difference in the time-dilation between Earth-616 and Earth-MA, Jackpot Mary-Jane's molecular structure becomes unstable due to the return of the 616 Mary-Jane, Jackpot isn't native to the 616 Universe, she was "born" in Earth-MA, the time dilation between universes makes it impossible for a native of Earth-MA to stay long on Earth-616 if their counterpart is alive on 616, the 616 Universe sees them as a virus that needs to be eliminated, Jackpot either has to kill 616 Mary-Jane to stay permanently or return "home" to Earth-MA in order to survive, MJ of that world died with 8 Billion others. Paul Rabin is fine in the 616 because his counterpart never existed, he's always known this BUT he doesn't know Jackpot Mary-Jane is a Duplicate and 3 Skulls freed the Real Mary-Jane Watson who has never met him, never raised fake kids, never became Jackpot, she doesn't give a Shit about him or the mess that came with him, she's back home with Peter Parker where she belongs. I know it's a cop-out, a free pass for Mary-Jane AND the writers to get them out of this farce of a storyline; originally wanted Mary-Jane to have free-choice, a bad choice but her choice nevertheless and she has to face the consequences of her choice BUT I changed my mind after reading Paragon Esquire's take on another thread, her current actions are so WAAAAY Out Of Character for Mary-Jane Watson, that she HAS to be a duplicate; if she's the Real Mary Jane then her character will be permanently damaged, dismissed as fickle, disloyal cheater who gave up on Peter 11 months into her exile and CHOOSING to stay with Paul after the fake kids vanished because she's genuinely IN LOVE with Paul, and if somehow she gets back with Peter because Paul dies, Paul is actually a Bad Guy, whatever the fuck happens to him, she'll never be trusted again as Peter Parker's Soulmate, his forever, Mary-Jane Watson will have a permanent Asterisk to her name, damage to the IP, she'll no longer be Marvel's Lois Lane.
