I'm planning a slight rewrite of modern ASM alongside this new ASM story I thought of: Ben Reilly recently discovered that Paul is working with Mephisto and did something horrible to MJ(Ben has psionic abilities in my rewrite). In Paul's dimension, while MJ is fighting against Paul, she is knocked out and taken to Mephesto, and she is in a cocoon. So the MJ, who is Jackpot, is a clone version of her with messed up memories. Ben, Janine, and Kaine all teamed up, took down Paul once and for all, and told Peter everything about this discovery. After the fight between the Parkers vs Paul and Jackpot, before Paul dies. He tells Peter about his entire plan all along while laughing maliciously until Kaine kills him. Peter feels guilty and angry with himself for leaving the real MJ in the other dimension. The Parkers and Janine all traveled to the other dimension, and all four encountered an apocalyptic Mayday and her team of Avengers to help her out.
At this point I just laugh how much effort they've tried to push Paul. I think they'll eventually retcon him with skrulls or alternate universe shenanigans or evil supervillain heelturn. Its just so silly that they are so desperate for Peter and MJ to be apart when Ultimate Spider-Man is on fire right now. I've only read the first 6 issues but seeing Peter still have the struggles of an everyday person (as a Dad) is SO refreshing as more spider people share the spotlight with him now. I think the problem with 616 Spider-Man or "main" versions of a character (this extends to DC as well) is that since they are the face of the branding, the status quo must be maintained. I don't really have a problem with that at times, its good to have a baseline other stories can expand upon since comics are iterative. My problem is that there were probably a billion other ways to split up Peter and MJ that don't involve chicken korma. Anyway, great video! :)
quite a well structured video and interesting to learn as i only read x men and daredevil and was a big intimated by the fact that spider man has such a huge catalogue but apparently none of the modern era stuff is worth reading, so thank you so much for distilling the issue for me. a couple of things i would mention outside of the actual content of the video but rather in terms of presentation - the exaggerated clapping in between segments takes one out of the viewing experience so if it’s a habit i would kindly suggest cutting the video around them, and the heavy breathing of frustration picked up by the mic also doesn’t make for the most pleasant auditory experience. hope you can take that on board, other than that keep up the good work!
This is not a drill. DaikaijuTony has entered his Superman arc.
@@TitanGoji More like Bizzaro. lol

sounds cooler than the shit we got in the current ASM also loved that you included Ben and Kaine i have a soft spot for those two.
@@Thisath2024 Thanks, man. I appreciate it, man. Also, Ben and Kaine are so done with Mephisto BS, especially with Kaine.
