The dumbest part is that half the people that Peter asked for help absolutely could have saved aunt may. Dr. Strange prances around coma wards healing coma patients and curing brain damage all the time, The Fantastic Four have a literal time machine , The list goes on and on. But for plot reasons everybody just decided they didn't want to.
Well, because plot; if he had a reasonable way to save Aunt May without making a deal with Mephisto, the entire premise of the series would be stupid. Which btw, is precisely why the entire premise of the series was stupid. Well, at least it's one of the reasons.
on later comics Iron man has technology that can cure freaking blindness in a second (not to mention his reactor heart) so he too could have absolutely saved aunt May, but he didn't because he is Iron Man and he always has to be the biggest douchebag on every story he is in
I think the real stupidest part is that Tony Stark ends up paying the medical bills anyway for some reason. Why did he have to help Aunt May in the most obtuse way possible?
I kinda wish there was a scene where Deadpool pulls Peter aside and say 'Pete look, your aunt is going to die but give it a year, five tops and then the writers will find some way to bring her back, this is something that happens to every superhero.'
later thy tried to retcon it and say she told mephisto "no spiderman will NEVER give you our marriage" ignoring the REST of the context which makes that STUPID, such as none of her words prior or after matching that nor the fact it makes it a pointlessly hidden thing that was obviously retconned later.
Also, in the real world, A doctor does not just go "Welp, sucks for you" if you don't have insurance. They WILL treat you and do whatever is needed to save your life. You will just be in MASSIVE debt after you're discharged.
@@guyferrari8124 yeah but I mean paying that bit in taxes is essentially just like paying for health insurance that covers everything instead of the shit we get here
in Peter's defense, asking Doom was SUPER worth trying. He would _absolutely_ save the ailing elderly aunt of one of his nemeses just so he could lord it over him every time after that. Hell he'd do it purely because Richards said he can't. He'd hook Aunt May up with like, life-prolonging cyborg enhancements that would keep her going long after the sun goes supernova.
You know damn well Mephisto or Doctor Strange trolled SpiderMan as Doctor Doom would save Aunt May and also make her into a super hero just to one up Reed Richards
The thing is Doctor Doom has absolutely dropped everything to save the life of his sworn enemies loved ones, because it feeds his sense of superiority, since his whole thing is that he genuinely believes that he's morally right in everything he does, so asking Doctor Doom makes total sense especially if Reed said he couldn't help since one upping Reed is like crack to him. But yeah this comic arc was and still is trash.
I would also think it's because at that very moment, Spider-Man was coming to him at a request for his expertise. Even though they have fought in the past, they can still have mutual respect for eachother in a professional setting. Besides, Dr. Doom is weirdly neutral at times, and has consulted with heroes before on a variety of matters, like that time he hired Luke Cage to break a bunch of malfunctioning robots.
@@TheKingofFresh3 Doctor Doom... was scared of a guy whose sole power was Impenetrable skin and the customary super strength? DOCTOR DOOM was scared of second stringer Luke Cage? wut?
"What would you do if you open a window Batman called you fat?" I don't think you gave yourself enough credit with this one. Seriously. Think about it. Just imagine you're just minding your own business in your house, the one place you're comfortable with your life. You get up to open the window and, out of nowhere, Batman of all people not only shows up, but takes a look at your disgusting, greasy, haven't-taken-a-shower-today body and absolutely *has* to tell you that you are fat. Like, he can't just keep it in. He's on the job, he's busy. He's not even in Gotham. He's just in Nowhere, Kansas. He's that far away and you are so repulsive that Batman himself has to drop everything He's doing *just* to tell you that you're fat. Can you even imagine?
Picture the scene: J. Michael Straczynski needs to write a Spider-Man comic and fast. The deadline is tomorrow, and he has absolutely no ideas. Suddenly, a blood-red hand reaches out of the laptop screen, and a voice hisses: "Perhaps I can help you, Joseph...for a price." "Mephisto!" Straczynski cries. "My God! What do you want from me?" "I want to make a deal. I can give you a comic book for tomorrow - a book that will be remembered for all time." He laughs a little as he says it, but Straczynski is so relieved, he misses Mephisto's devilish chuckle. "So what do you want in return?" Straczynski asks, eyes brimming with tears. "My soul?" "Oh, no, no - nothing so trivial. What I want is _the happiness of all your readers!"_ The clock chimes - it's five to twelve. The deadline is minutes away. Straczynski lifts a trembling hand to shake Mephisto's, and whispers: "It's a deal."
I like how the comic that says "If you have to read but one comic this decade, this is the one!" requires you to *read another comic* to get the full context to a panel.
I think the most ridiculous feature of this whole situation is that Spiderman approached all these absurdly powerful people and *none* of them had a solution for this; the literal wizards just shrugged and said "nah, can't do it", even though Marvel heroes get revived on a monthly basis
What should have happened, if it even got that far, was Dr. Doom goes "Wait, Richards can't fix a simple bullet wound? Hang on, let me check something with my crazy powerful magic bullshit... Oh, Mephisto's involved? I get to One up Richards AND Mephisto at the same time!? Parker, Your grandmother is about to become immortal. My payment is you rubbing it in that Lesser genius's face every time you see him."
hell one of the people goes to? literally has the super pwoer of "heal anything". And yet, despite that, he apparently can't heal brain damage OR a bullet wound. Congrats, asshole, you had like ONE JOB and you can't even do it right cause we need a reason to have the devil do it.
Yeah, they have the power, experience, and knowledge to face reality warpers, gods, ultra-powerful aliens with the concept of infinity in their literal hands, but a wounded old lady is where they hit a brick wall in terms of problem-solving?

It is amazing how many stories where someone becomes successful always come down to "AH YES BUT THAT ONE TIME WHEN I WAS 5 I COULDNT STAY UP PAST 7PM! ILL NEVER BE HAPPY BECAUSE OF THAT"
There should be a sequel to this where Spider-Man makes a deal with Mephisto to save Aunt May from dying from a bowel obstruction, because he was the one who gave her the bagel that did it and so her death would be on *his* hands.
I think the worst part is there was ALREADY a plot about Peter accepting aunt may's death before this and the takeaway was "at least I have MJ" Fucked up
@@jadturki1494 Steve Ditko patterned The Osborns (Norman and Harry ) A little of Peter Parker (in early Spider Man stories he was a bit of a selfish 🍆) and over at Charlton Comics Steve Ditko made the original Blue Beetle an Objectivist @$$hat
The main reason this storyline pisses me off so much, is because it is played off like Peter is being heroic by sacrificing his marriage to save Aunt May, when in reality, he just couldn't deal with the guilt of feeling responsible for Aunt May's death. That's why he was so obsessed with her having a "natural," death. So, the way I see it, Peter was willing to retcon his entire relationship with Mary Jane just so he wouldn't have to feel guilty about Aunt May's death. It's so infuriating, especially given that it wasn't actually Peter's fault to begin with. Plus, though I don't know much about comics, I'm pretty confident that Aunt May wouldn't have wanted Peter to sacrifice his marriage just to let her live another 5 years. This whole storyline is a tragedy
Honestly, isn't his whole thing being responsible? Taking responsibility for his actions? That can sometimes mean admitting guilt, having to live with it, and avoid making the same mistake, even if it hurts like hell. Coughunclebencough Bringing back his aunt by sacrificing his future life is the exact opposite of being responsible. He has a responsibility to move forward and work with the problems he faces, not straight up pretend they didnt happen.
Let's not also forget that right before all that happened, Peter met LITERAL GOD who told him accept it in Sensational Spider-man #40. Also Doom would've totally helped just to spite the fact that Richards couldn't save a single old womans life.
And because it's Doom, she'd become some form of superhuman in the doing. Just cause he can. Cybernetics, magic bullshit, or some form of super soldier enhancement, it doesn't matter. Aunt May would probably be in better shape than Peter if Doom did it.
@@Mr-Trox Hell, Aunt May might've become fucking immortal if Doom helped him. Not only to spite Reed but also Mephisto, since he has doom mother's soul
Wait the issue where he met God was before this? God One More Day sucks even more. Imagine getting a talk from GOD and still refusing to take the hint.

talking about spidermans punch: in the comic where doc oc takes over spidermans body, it is revealed that spiderman has been pulling his punches all the time, and is actually a lot stronger than we have ever seen. dude could obliterate someone in a single punch, so him going hand to hand with a fully armored iron man is pretty possible
While this was written by J. Michael Straczsynski, the whole premise was written up by then-editor Joe Quesada (the artist of this book and one of the "Marvel greats"), who never liked the idea of Peter and Mary Jane married and sought to make Peter a down-on-his-luck loser again at the cost of decades of character development and any kind of logic. J. Michael for his part is actually a very good writer but has a few stinkers on his belt, with One More Day being at the top of his most infamous stories ever penned--a story that was mostly Quesada's idea.
Original idea was to have Peter go back to 1971. Peter would have helped Harry Osborn get into rehab for his drug addiction immediately, which would have allowed a number of rewrites. Mary Jane would have remained in a relationship with Harry, Gwen would not have been killed and ultimately Peter's marriage to Mary Jane would not have taken place.
@@marko-gj1uj Wouldn't that force the entire Marvel characters past history with Spider-Man be changed and retconned? Big events such as Secret Wars would be retconned just because they changed Spider-Man history prior to that. That would be an entire Marvel reboot just because of one character being send back in 71 and rewritten
@@lucianganea3034 Yes. It would LITERALLY unmake or change a ton of iconic stories and moments of Marvel’s history, especially Spidey’s, all cause some big wigs at Marvel have a stick up their ass about Peter being married and want shit to be just like when they themselves were teens. Joe Quesada was EiC at Marvel at the time and he went through a rough divorce, so it’s not surprising that this entire story was just an excuse for him to vent and retcon THE FUCK out of Spider-Man stuff he’s wanted to get rid of for years.
@@lucianganea3034 I mean, so does this. Best option to have a younger spiderman is just to have spiderman mentor a new spiderman. Yeah, it's unoriginal, that's because it's the only sane option. Plus it comes with the added benefit of increasing accessibility and as a result selling more copies.
"One More Day is a Spider-Man comic book that has the incredible distinction of being the worst Spider-Man thing ever officially produced." Well, someone hasn't read the comic where Spidey's radioactive spider-jizz gave Mary Jane terminal cancer. But yeah, One More Day fucking sucks.
Radioactive spunk is not worse than making a deal with Satan, pretending he lacks the power to destroy something you are actively throwing away and acting like Faust has a happy ending.
Ya know, honestly, I can think of an immediate way to make this story better: Have it be Mary Jane who gets shot. He's about to lose her, and then, the Devil shows up and offers him the ultimate sadistic choice: Save Mary Jane's life, at the cost of losing their relationship, and even his memory of it forever, or turn down the deal, keeping his memories, but losing her forever? Ya know, an actual moral dilemma, a hard moral choice, instead of Peter selling his marriage to save his aunt who's gonna be dead in a year anyway. And now, Peter choosing to give up their marriage could be read as a moment of actual self-sacrifice.
I dislike the message that this puts out though. It's completely against the idea "It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all". And it still runs into the problems Huggbees brought up, such as Peter being unable to accept basic facts of life. Yes technically it would make the comic "better" compared to before, but trying to polish some shit still leaves you with something that's shit. What they really should have done is let Peter accept that people he knows and cares about are going to die.
Honestly speaking? Most of this is something I can see Peter doing. The problem is that the story frames his final decision as a good thing rather than a bad thing. Just change so that the moral is that Spidey has to learn that being responsible means that you need to realize when you did all you could
This whole storyline exists specifically to reset the character development Peter had at this point in time because he was married and some idiots didn't like that
@@ArloMathis The truth is uglier than that. Quesada himself went through a pretty rough divorce prior to this whole thing and he was Chief Creative Executive of Marvel Comics at the time, meaning the ultimately called the shots on what would and what wouldn't be published. So he forced his hand into erasing Spider-man marriage from history since that's what he wanted to do to his own.
@@Fahel14 Oof. Though his hatred of Spider-Man being settled down and 'boring' probably gave him an in to do that as well. He's famously said that Peter is only interesting when he's a broke, stressed college student although I don't have an exact quote on me.
It's basic sitcom logic. Friends, the big bang theory, etc. When the "will they won't they" relationship comes together ratings go down. Make them break up? Ratings go up. It applies to comic sales as well
That's why Batman's relationships always end, it's why Daredevil and Elektra don't really get together. Relationships are interesting but the monotony of them being together doesn't sell books. Turmoil does.
You should've included in the intro "One More Day is even worse than that comic where Norman Osborn tells Peter Parker he plowed Gwen Stacey before he could" because at least that comic isn't canon.
@@devastatheseeker9967 Its canon in the main universe, There was a scene with Green Goblin being a creep torwards Spider-Gwen and he talked about "having a good time" with her
@@Fakan literally in the next panels, Peter gets angry and destroys Ironman's mask, he could've ended the fight from the first hit if not for his moral code
Yeah, the reason Peter's alive despite getting his shit kicked in by people up to the level of the Hulk is because he's actually several orders of magnitude above where he tells people he is. Peter pretends to be about the same level as Captain America. He's actually above Ben "1v1s the Hulk" Grimm.
I love how Peter doesn't want aunt may die not because he wants her to live but because of his own ego. He said himself that it's all good if she dies soon if its "natural", its literally just that his ego can't handle it
Mephisto was like the most reasonable person in this story. And he was a satanic asshole. At least his motivations made complete sense and he was basically picking on people who were being super shortsighted and selfish. lol
But at the same time, this is the only thing people ever remember him for and it’s dumb af. This guy is like a demon chess master but his rise to infamy was undoing a guy’s divorce like seriously…
@Casswury , if Marvel made May Day Parker, (Spider-Girl), a redhead in the main continuity then I have praised the 616 universe as the perfect continuity in comics, but not only does May Day Parker, (Spider-Girl), not exist at all in the main 616 continuity, but Marvel has been making the most shittiest SJW comics of all time to the point where manga is outselling comics for good.
@@RoronoaZoro-ur6hr let's be real comic books have been sucking since the 2000s, good stories here and there but the main superheroes never truly recovered from the 90s, specially Marvel and SPECIALLY Spider-man
Joe Quesada: "I want Peter to be single like in the old days but divorce is sinful" also Joe Quesada: "I'll have him make a deal with the devil that will end with him being single!" Joe Quesada again: "Anyone who criticizes me is a jealous racist!"(yes he has actually accused his critics of racism. Many times).
Also Joe Quesada: Here's Peter's new love interest. She's drawn to look like my daughter. She's named after my daughter. Yeah, I draw Peter to look like me in my 20s. The character who I view as my self-insert is fucking my daughter. This is all to make him more relatable! Cuban Trump. Joe Quesada wants to fuck or already has fucked his daughter.
I mean, Mephisto never specified they could never meet again nor just get married again, it was just that they would never remember anything from their marriage. They would've still loved each other right until that moment they got married, so there's literally nothing stopping him from doing that *and* saving Aunt May.
It's even more stupid when you remember that the afterlife is a confirmed thing in this universe. Hell, *multiple* afterlives, many of them being significantly better than Earth are a thing. Why would anyone who lived a good life and knew this give a shit about death beyond not being able to finish their Earthly business?
Also once God literally brought Ben Grimm back to life against his will. Seriously, the FF went to bring him back to life, he said no he was happy in heaven, but the One Above All (who looks like Jack Kirby) just said 'lol, no', and both brought him back to life and gave him back the annoying rock powers. The end. Given that's a thing just like... do that again? Heck at this point do that to undo OMD.
Yup. At least DC rebooted the whoel freakin' universe to undo Lois and Clark. And went back on that in EPIC fashion when the fans complained. Glowy alternate dimensions, obscure call-backs to decades old continuity, the works.
Also, a common misconception is that the little girl would have been Mayday Parker, but she died as a baby in the ASM comics. The Renew Your Vows comics shows that it was actually Annie May Parker, as May is dead there, OMD never happened, and upon meeting Mayday Parker MJ is reduced to tears, seeing the daughter that they lost. But for some reason, in that comic, Peter... isn't.
You know damn well that he’s wearing glasses cause he’s high as shit right now. He still manages to make the actual plot line sound 100x better. This is my fourth time watching this and it’s just as funny.
Tony respects Aunt May, a person he barely has any relation to or conversations with but does not respect her enough to give her any money to try and help her whats so ever. I feel functionally brain dead thinking about the logic in this book
This comic is dumb as hell on all levels except two. 1) Dr Strange, other than leaving Peter alone with the Time Hands, actually feels like he's trying to get the message through to Peter than May is going to god damn die, and that's how life works, and that he needs to accept that. Hell, even MJ has a spark of that during the last day. and 2) God damn, Mephisto, and the way he's drawn is so fucking delightful. That panel where the daughter ceases to be and is replaced with him with that big smug grin is just the fucking best. Mephisto being a piece of shit and Doctor Strange trying to be as blunt as possible are the only great parts of this trashfire arc.
To be fair, Aunt May may be old but apparently, what was skipped is the fact that the top geniuses can’t fix a bullet wound, it’s not Parker trying to ask them to revive her from death, they all apparently just said “Fuck your Aunt, Spoider Manlet, you owe me 17 dollars” If Peter Parker was asking them to basically bring Aunt May back to life then Doctor Strange would might have a point and not sound like he can’t fix a bullet wound (This is the marvel Universe, there is bound to be a magical heal spell or super tech)
@@salad72057 This is the problem with very connected Universes, a gun wound would take out Aunt May and her being very old would probably make it hard for the doctors to save her. However Spider-Man, even as a fugitive, would be able to reasonably get someone with super powers to help. Sure, they gave an explanation on why no one is helping, but that ends up making it worse as they all seem like assholes. I know Linkara is bit of a meme but he gives a solid solution to it by suggesting that Spider-Man was never able to reach Doctor Strange as he won’t be there. Since it’s a dying old lady, he wouldn’t have much time left.
@@Predator20357 This why I to this day advocate for quality control as a real literal job in marvel and dc, with the job basically being that a group of people, or hell, just ONE person, having to approve the decisions made to a comic if it has any type of crossover in it, with the person having to read over it, and if they see anything wrong they go "NOPE, remove this part, this is out of character for all these characters to do right now, plus Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Reed Richards, and Dr Doom could all fix this within 5 seconds, also, Dr Strange and Dr Doom recently got a massive upgrade where it was shown they could go to the world of the dead, and bring back anyone they want, which means even if she was dead, they could still bring her back, re-write this, and THEN comeback to me", granted, I've heard that my idea actually IS a job, but either they don't have enough power, or the person or people with said job need to be fired
It's literally my favorite Spider-Man incarnation EVER!!! It's exactly what I wanted from the MCU Spider-Man movies.

Isn't there one where...

I don't know if "One more day" is still the worst thing in Spider-man anymore. I mean, the writers of the comics have continued to keep Peter and Mary-Jane separate, and have cucked Peter by having her marry someone else, and have a kid with him. Meanwhile, Peter is still trying to get Mary-Jane back, and the rest of his life has completely fallen apart. I'm pretty sure that the writers of these comics hate Spider-man like they hate actual spiders, and are punishing him for it.
I clicked on this video for no other reason than the express purpose of sifting through the comments to find someone foolish enough to bring up the current run…And here you are. You may continue to seethe over Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 6, I think this run has done something very few have done in a long, long time and separated the wheat from the chaff and the more people like you, the redditors and chuds on Twitter continue to REEEE over it, the more funnier it gets. Zeb Wells reigns supreme
The "read this comic to find out what happened" is better used for things that happened before like "Hey I fought this guy before" "*Read Spiderman #34*"
As crap as the whole is, I do actually love Strange's speech: "I have lost many of those I loved ...And when I think back on them, I do not regret that I loved them, only that, in so many cases, I was not there to do what is perhaps the most important thing of all. I was not there to say goodbye". It, and the fact Peter went to Doom for help (Who would 100% help just to spite Richards *and* lord it over Peter), are the only silver linings in this mess.
You know who was behind this? Joe Quesada. And he's gone to bat to defend it multiple times, saying that Spider-Man should bea swinging single the way he was when Joe Quesada was a child and people who want Spider-Man to be an adult married man want him to die. One More Day is an example of editors having too much power because Joe Quesada was chief editor and told the writers what they had to do every step of the way and they had to just work with his terrible ideas.
Author probably was the kid in school that never done his homework and when the teacher asked "why disnt you finish your homework" he probably said"my aunt was dying".

The thing is, this scene happened earlier in a comic that was in the same run. The idea is that Strange is multitasking between two versions of Peter for plots that are relevant to both stories.
He actually seems to be reading a book that has the front cover of Atlas Shrugged and the back cover of 1984. I actually looked up the comic online to check and there's no connecting panel where he switched books or anything.
What I loved about 'nerd Peter' is they tried to portray him as out of shape when he's....not really that big at all, sounds like he has a decent and interesting job that pays well and for the most part does have his shit together if not just a bit awkward. The fact they tried to frame that as him being a loser tells me more about Quesada's idea of whom he deems as losers.
@@SuperCosmicMutantSquid Yeah I mean this was probably written in like 06, but he says hes working on Halo or a Halo-inspired game. Peter could be making damn good money depending on his position- even as a 'loser out of shape' that isnt the most positive hes doing well
Spider-Man’s original artist and co-writer Steve Ditko was a libertarian who admired Ayn Rand. Some of the early comics show a more selfish Peter because of this, and later stories have referenced it.
To explain why peter punched iron man, it's actually canon to the comics that peter NEVER goes all out against anyone. And he's actually one of the top marvel characters in physical strength. Not like Thor or Hulk, but he's definitely strong enough that if he didn't hold back he would put dents in iron man's suits with a single punch. This isn't just a hypothesis btw, it's shown in the comics that when he goes all out he can straight up rip most people apart. Even beefcakes like kingpin he beat to a bloody pulp without much effort.
Top in physical strength? I can think of like, 20 characters that are stronger than him. His whole deal is that he’s good in closed spaces, slap him in a desert and he can’t do shit
@@akiraeatsguitarpicks491 Name 20 characters that are provably physically stronger than Spiderman going all out (Excluding cheap shots like Chaos King and Hulk and Thor). I'm genuinely curious. Also, Spidey can fight in open spaces, dunno what you're talking about. In a desert the biggest downside to spidey would be the heat.
I would have had MJ just disappear in “Fly Over America” or Rural Alaska picking up papers with her new identity, have her say “The annulment is in the mail, it was real” considering the Kingpin was after the Parkers, have it handled by having MJ go into Witness Protection and Relocation.
Nothing really. The trade wasn’t really for Mephisto, it was for the writer and Marvel. This comic was just a confusing way to reset Spiderman back to the start since a lot of fans weren’t liking that Spiderman was having character development and got married.
I remember I was reading the comic about Spider-man becoming a high school teacher; I mixed it up with this one while I was halfway through it and got super confused on how Spider-man went from battling his old high school friend to moving into Stark Tower with Aunt May and Mary Jane. Glad to know that strange plot line was only a byproduct of my inability to read, I'm gonna go finish that comic now.
this is why the new trend of making uncle ben and aunt may closer to peters parents age really makes alot more sense; it makes the death of uncle ben alot more tragic as he had more years left in his life to live that were taken from him, and it also makes the prospect of aunt may being in danger more suspenseful as she has more years to live.
@Chandler Burse Actually this brings up a big question. Aunt implies that they're brother/sister to Peter's parents. Wouldn't that mean they're reasonable 45-65. Why are they 90?
I became a mutant because of my *weight* and the kids made fun of my because of my *weight* and my father left me behind to be arrested because of my *Weight* so I was to survive or perish because of my *Weight*
“Approximately 2% of my body mass is fat. Allow me to show you what 350 pounds of muscle is capable of.” -Kingpin from the 90’s Spider-Man animated series; voiced by Roscoe Lee Browne
Remember: this whole comic series was made to drive home the fact that Peter is literally not allowed to be happy or have children. That's literally one of the bullet points to making movies and comics for him.
“What would you do if the dearest person in your life” YEAH SORRY MARY JANE, THIS GRANDMA WITH A LONG FULFILLING LIFE BEHIND HER AND COLLECTIVE FOURTEEN MONTHS LEFT TO LIVE MATTERS MORE THAN OUR ETERNALLY SWORN LOVE
And not a single character in this fucking comic doesn't even consider to tell spider man that having a long happy life with the woman he loves is exactly what Aunt May would've wanted for peter... fuck if I were aunt may, I'd just tell Peter to pull the fucking plug and pocket Tony's 2 million cause I know he's not only in good hands but also rich.
It definitely would have been a far, far more powerful message for Peter to realize that 50 or so years with Mary Jane will be worth more than, at best, 10 years with Aunt May. It'll hurt to say goodbye, and it'll never quite stop hurting, but he has to move on. He knew this day was coming sometime soon, whether it was a bullet or cancer or a heart attack. It'd be a message that everyone can relate to-once you reach a certain age, everyone has had someone close to them die, and been forced to life on without them. Instead, we have Peter making pretty much the most selfish decision he could possibly make and gaining almost nothing for it-certainly nothing worth the price.
It's hilarious how comic book fans are like "Yeah, the story is awful but look at this art!" and there isn't a single panel that looks good and no one has an even vaguely human looking face in the entire thing
Joe Quesada the penciler is also the chief editor of Spider-Man. It was his decision to force this story on the title. The writer wanted Aunt May to die and motivate Peter to move on and evolve before getting Dr Strange to mind wipe the Earth to forget his secret identity
It still baffles me how the higher-ups at Marvel (including then Editor-in-Chief Jose Quesadilla) unironically thought the Spider-fans were going to lap up the new (old?) post-OMD status quo.
I have seen people trash Nick Spencer ever since the captain hydra thing, but the more I read his spiderman the more I realize that he is way better suited to write peter parker than Dan slot was. The only thing I liked from dan slot was spiderverse and superior spiderman. And both don't focus on peter parker, just the multiverse of spiderman, and the doc oct being Spider-Man.
@@59hawks Captain HYDRA was, even then, a huuuuge misconception. Spencer made an AU Cap but everyone read the bare minimum and went "THIS IS A DISCREDIT TO THE ORIGINAL CREATORS"
@@nprincen You do realize the man said that the person was basically the real captain America and treated him like he was until like the final parts of the comic with trying to make him sympathetic and all? They also never give the idea that this was fake cap until later as the comics talk about how everything they do to see if he’s mind controlled or something ended badly. At most you can say he used Weasel words which is “I never SAID it was the real cap” but he heavily implied it.
@@Predator20357 because Red Skull rewrote his backstory. He's done that before when he turned Falcon into a pimp and a drug dealer instead of a social worker
@@TupocalypseShakur That was done late on though, from how the Creator was saying as well as the comic that Steve WAS supposed to be a Nazi turned American Hero. Though if it was supposed to be all a ruse, then they did some very good convincing
Even more painful knowing the run he did before he got mostly pressured into helping with this has some of the absolute best romantic interactions between Peter and MJ ever
To be fair about the fake name and nobody else at the hospital recognizing Peter part, it makes sense that only a doctor would recognize him since I'd expect medical authorities to need to remember particular faces on a record. Most people wouldn't expect to see a celebrity superhero having trouble with hospital bills and Peter has historically had a fairly nondescript appearance. If Peter put on some glasses like Clark Kent, you'd be surprised how well that can actually work for a good while. Celebrities do it practically all the time, even Henry Cavill walked around Times Square with no one recognizing him. Everything else about the comic is absolute garbage, though.
What’s worse is that Aunt May dying isn’t a big deal in this because during the Clone Saga they meant for her to die peacefully and give it emotional weight. This was made as a editorial mandate to end Peter and Mj’s marriage because they felt like Peter was getting too old to appeal to young readers and wanted Spider-Man to stay young and hip
Doctor Doom would absolutely help Peter, just because everyone else said they couldn't, and just so he could bring it up every time his abilities are called into question. "Doom, you can't do this really difficult thing, you're not capable enough." "I saved Aunt May, and you couldn't." "... _Dude that was diff--"_ "SHHHH, competent adults are talking." "You're the only one that's talking." *_"Exactly."_* He would do it just because Richard said he couldn't. Just to out-do him. Say what you will, he might be spiteful, but at least he's consistently spiteful. Shit like this is rocketfuel for his superiority complex, he wants to feel like a teacher, and remind everyone they're his pupils. He's the kind of person that enslaves higher demons so he has assistants that rebuild the walls he breaks every time he enters a room, just so he can say "What, you don't have higher demons that repair what you break? What are you, _some kind of inferior peasant?"._ He would. He absolutely would.
Mephisto is the most relatable character in this whole thing.. And Aunt May ofc, sometimes I feel like just dying on my bed for the whole weekend as well..
6:18 Tony Stark is not bathing in red jello ! That is red red wine, ya know cause he's such an alcoholic. He literally soaks in alcohol. Also you don't like the Spider-Man Playstation game ? As a Spider-Man fan I think it did a lot of things right. Well .... (spoilers) ...at least they had the balls to kill off Aunt May.
You mention (I hope in a sarcastic manner) that the PS4 Spider-Man games were trash. Funnily enough, the first game had the balls to let Aunt May pass.
1. I somewhat expected Mephisto to marry Peter when he first brought up marriage. 2. Spider-Man 3 is a total masterpiece. 3. Flapjacks are totally worth sacrificing a future life.

@@chanmandeath2993 if you beat the devil in his own game which you can only win at the cost of becoming like him, then you are an fool because you played a game your opponent can never lose at, only gain less reward, *by playing the game you already lost*
I kept thinking that any fucking second they were with mephisto aunt May will show up. She would somehow teach Peter a final lesson and tell him that it's okay and he needs to live his life, have his daughter and be his own person. But no that would just make too much sense.
That was Doctor Octopus’s doing when he was inhabiting Peter’s body. Basically even though Peter as Spider Man is strong, he also holds back. There was a What If storyline where it was MJ that got the bullet instead of Aunt May, and Spider Man said to Wilson Fisk, “All right, no more Mr.Nice Guy” and he *Beats the HELL out of* The Kingpin, even Matt Murdoch and Frank Castle would have said “Stop it Spider Man you’re killing him”
"We all die, Peter." "No, not like this!" "That's not it, Peter. I mean... We've all died before. Multiple times. Aunt May will be back in 6 months to a year even if you let her die. It's fine."

The dumbest part is that half the people that Peter asked for help absolutely could have saved aunt may. Dr. Strange prances around coma wards healing coma patients and curing brain damage all the time, The Fantastic Four have a literal time machine , The list goes on and on. But for plot reasons everybody just decided they didn't want to.
Well, because plot; if he had a reasonable way to save Aunt May without making a deal with Mephisto, the entire premise of the series would be stupid. Which btw, is precisely why the entire premise of the series was stupid. Well, at least it's one of the reasons.
Doctor Doom would've done it specifically to dunk on Reed Richards.
on later comics Iron man has technology that can cure freaking blindness in a second (not to mention his reactor heart) so he too could have absolutely saved aunt May, but he didn't because he is Iron Man and he always has to be the biggest douchebag on every story he is in

in Peter's defense, asking Doom was SUPER worth trying. He would _absolutely_ save the ailing elderly aunt of one of his nemeses just so he could lord it over him every time after that. Hell he'd do it purely because Richards said he can't. He'd hook Aunt May up with like, life-prolonging cyborg enhancements that would keep her going long after the sun goes supernova.
Aunt May, destroyer of worlds!
His ego alone makes it worth trying.
“Haha, Reed Richards couldn’t even save a little old lady- but I can.”
Now he has to live with his aunt for his entire life
Marvel give me this What-If
You know damn well Mephisto or Doctor Strange trolled SpiderMan as Doctor Doom would save Aunt May and also make her into a super hero just to one up Reed Richards
The thing is Doctor Doom has absolutely dropped everything to save the life of his sworn enemies loved ones, because it feeds his sense of superiority, since his whole thing is that he genuinely believes that he's morally right in everything he does, so asking Doctor Doom makes total sense especially if Reed said he couldn't help since one upping Reed is like crack to him.
But yeah this comic arc was and still is trash.
I would also think it's because at that very moment, Spider-Man was coming to him at a request for his expertise. Even though they have fought in the past, they can still have mutual respect for eachother in a professional setting. Besides, Dr. Doom is weirdly neutral at times, and has consulted with heroes before on a variety of matters, like that time he hired Luke Cage to break a bunch of malfunctioning robots.

Aunt May had a good run, pull the plug.
Picture the scene: J. Michael Straczynski needs to write a Spider-Man comic and fast. The deadline is tomorrow, and he has absolutely no ideas. Suddenly, a blood-red hand reaches out of the laptop screen, and a voice hisses:
"Perhaps I can help you, Joseph...for a price."
"Mephisto!" Straczynski cries. "My God! What do you want from me?"
"I want to make a deal. I can give you a comic book for tomorrow - a book that will be remembered for all time." He laughs a little as he says it, but Straczynski is so relieved, he misses Mephisto's devilish chuckle.
"So what do you want in return?" Straczynski asks, eyes brimming with tears. "My soul?"
"Oh, no, no - nothing so trivial. What I want is _the happiness of all your readers!"_
The clock chimes - it's five to twelve. The deadline is minutes away. Straczynski lifts a trembling hand to shake Mephisto's, and whispers: "It's a deal."

There should be a sequel to this where Spider-Man makes a deal with Mephisto to save Aunt May from dying from a bowel obstruction, because he was the one who gave her the bagel that did it and so her death would be on *his* hands.

Would aunt May shit out her intestines in Peter's hands?

The main reason this storyline pisses me off so much, is because it is played off like Peter is being heroic by sacrificing his marriage to save Aunt May, when in reality, he just couldn't deal with the guilt of feeling responsible for Aunt May's death. That's why he was so obsessed with her having a "natural," death. So, the way I see it, Peter was willing to retcon his entire relationship with Mary Jane just so he wouldn't have to feel guilty about Aunt May's death.
It's so infuriating, especially given that it wasn't actually Peter's fault to begin with. Plus, though I don't know much about comics, I'm pretty confident that Aunt May wouldn't have wanted Peter to sacrifice his marriage just to let her live another 5 years.

Coughunclebencough
Bringing back his aunt by sacrificing his future life is the exact opposite of being responsible. He has a responsibility to move forward and work with the problems he faces, not straight up pretend they didnt happen.
Let's not also forget that right before all that happened, Peter met LITERAL GOD who told him accept it in Sensational Spider-man #40. Also Doom would've totally helped just to spite the fact that Richards couldn't save a single old womans life.
And because it's Doom, she'd become some form of superhuman in the doing. Just cause he can. Cybernetics, magic bullshit, or some form of super soldier enhancement, it doesn't matter.
Aunt May would probably be in better shape than Peter if Doom did it.

And He made Peter Rich by creating a large company. But of course when Peter got his body back, he lost that company.
While this was written by J. Michael Straczsynski, the whole premise was written up by then-editor Joe Quesada (the artist of this book and one of the "Marvel greats"), who never liked the idea of Peter and Mary Jane married and sought to make Peter a down-on-his-luck loser again at the cost of decades of character development and any kind of logic.
J. Michael for his part is actually a very good writer but has a few stinkers on his belt, with One More Day being at the top of his most infamous stories ever penned--a story that was mostly Quesada's idea.
Original idea was to have Peter go back to 1971. Peter would have helped Harry Osborn get into rehab for his drug addiction immediately, which would have allowed a number of rewrites. Mary Jane would have remained in a relationship with Harry, Gwen would not have been killed and ultimately Peter's marriage to Mary Jane would not have taken place.

Ya know, honestly, I can think of an immediate way to make this story better: Have it be Mary Jane who gets shot. He's about to lose her, and then, the Devil shows up and offers him the ultimate sadistic choice: Save Mary Jane's life, at the cost of losing their relationship, and even his memory of it forever, or turn down the deal, keeping his memories, but losing her forever? Ya know, an actual moral dilemma, a hard moral choice, instead of Peter selling his marriage to save his aunt who's gonna be dead in a year anyway. And now, Peter choosing to give up their marriage could be read as a moment of actual self-sacrifice.
You literally just fixed this comic wtf
I dislike the message that this puts out though. It's completely against the idea "It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all". And it still runs into the problems Huggbees brought up, such as Peter being unable to accept basic facts of life. Yes technically it would make the comic "better" compared to before, but trying to polish some shit still leaves you with something that's shit.
What they really should have done is let Peter accept that people he knows and cares about are going to die.
Honestly speaking? Most of this is something I can see Peter doing. The problem is that the story frames his final decision as a good thing rather than a bad thing. Just change so that the moral is that Spidey has to learn that being responsible means that you need to realize when you did all you could
This whole storyline exists specifically to reset the character development Peter had at this point in time because he was married and some idiots didn't like that
Ironically Mr. Quesada is one of them.
@@ArloMathis The truth is uglier than that. Quesada himself went through a pretty rough divorce prior to this whole thing and he was Chief Creative Executive of Marvel Comics at the time, meaning the ultimately called the shots on what would and what wouldn't be published.

It's basic sitcom logic. Friends, the big bang theory, etc. When the "will they won't they" relationship comes together ratings go down. Make them break up? Ratings go up. It applies to comic sales as well
That's why Batman's relationships always end, it's why Daredevil and Elektra don't really get together. Relationships are interesting but the monotony of them being together doesn't sell books. Turmoil does.

I mean, Mephisto never specified they could never meet again nor just get married again, it was just that they would never remember anything from their marriage. They would've still loved each other right until that moment they got married, so there's literally nothing stopping him from doing that *and* saving Aunt May.
Except that writers keep on making them miserable. Mary Jane is a villain now too.
@@YujiUedaFan because Marvel writers punch a picture of Peter Parker every time they get angry.
It's even more stupid when you remember that the afterlife is a confirmed thing in this universe. Hell, *multiple* afterlives, many of them being significantly better than Earth are a thing. Why would anyone who lived a good life and knew this give a shit about death beyond not being able to finish their Earthly business?
FR, it's not even like the afterlife some people believe in IRL, spiderman could probably just go visit his aunt whenever
Does this spiderman know about it ?
@@thesuperdoge2476 The guy is buddies with freaking Thor. He has a literal god and the Sorceror Supreme around to tell him not to worry.
Peter literally met God, too: the One Above All.
Also once God literally brought Ben Grimm back to life against his will. Seriously, the FF went to bring him back to life, he said no he was happy in heaven, but the One Above All (who looks like Jack Kirby) just said 'lol, no', and both brought him back to life and gave him back the annoying rock powers. The end. Given that's a thing just like... do that again? Heck at this point do that to undo OMD.
This was literally just an excuse to break up Peter and MJ because someone felt their relationship was getting stale...
Yup. At least DC rebooted the whoel freakin' universe to undo Lois and Clark. And went back on that in EPIC fashion when the fans complained. Glowy alternate dimensions, obscure call-backs to decades old continuity, the works.
Also, a common misconception is that the little girl would have been Mayday Parker, but she died as a baby in the ASM comics. The Renew Your Vows comics shows that it was actually Annie May Parker, as May is dead there, OMD never happened, and upon meeting Mayday Parker MJ is reduced to tears, seeing the daughter that they lost.
But for some reason, in that comic, Peter... isn't.
You know damn well that he’s wearing glasses cause he’s high as shit right now. He still manages to make the actual plot line sound 100x better. This is my fourth time watching this and it’s just as funny.
Nah, Huggbees has a light sensitivity or something, he always wears sunglasses for medical reasons. He mentioned it once.
Tony respects Aunt May, a person he barely has any relation to or conversations with but does not respect her enough to give her any money to try and help her whats so ever.

@@xvelvet3247 those words sound too fancy for me, I really hope you’re agreeing with me ig
This comic is dumb as hell on all levels except two. 1) Dr Strange, other than leaving Peter alone with the Time Hands, actually feels like he's trying to get the message through to Peter than May is going to god damn die, and that's how life works, and that he needs to accept that. Hell, even MJ has a spark of that during the last day. and 2) God damn, Mephisto, and the way he's drawn is so fucking delightful. That panel where the daughter ceases to be and is replaced with him with that big smug grin is just the fucking best. Mephisto being a piece of shit and Doctor Strange trying to be as blunt as possible are the only great parts of this trashfire arc.
To be fair, Aunt May may be old but apparently, what was skipped is the fact that the top geniuses can’t fix a bullet wound, it’s not Parker trying to ask them to revive her from death, they all apparently just said “Fuck your Aunt, Spoider Manlet, you owe me 17 dollars”
If Peter Parker was asking them to basically bring Aunt May back to life then Doctor Strange would might have a point and not sound like he can’t fix a bullet wound (This is the marvel Universe, there is bound to be a magical heal spell or super tech)
@@Predator20357 But... She's braindead. Even if they fix it, she's just gonna be a veggiebale. So why botha?
@@Predator20357 yeah there's so much shit that can easily heal a gunshot wound but they just refuse to do anything in the story
@@salad72057 This is the problem with very connected Universes, a gun wound would take out Aunt May and her being very old would probably make it hard for the doctors to save her. However Spider-Man, even as a fugitive, would be able to reasonably get someone with super powers to help. Sure, they gave an explanation on why no one is helping, but that ends up making it worse as they all seem like assholes.
I know Linkara is bit of a meme but he gives a solid solution to it by suggesting that Spider-Man was never able to reach Doctor Strange as he won’t be there. Since it’s a dying old lady, he wouldn’t have much time left.
@@Predator20357 This why I to this day advocate for quality control as a real literal job in marvel and dc, with the job basically being that a group of people, or hell, just ONE person, having to approve the decisions made to a comic if it has any type of crossover in it, with the person having to read over it, and if they see anything wrong they go "NOPE, remove this part, this is out of character for all these characters to do right now, plus Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Reed Richards, and Dr Doom could all fix this within 5 seconds, also, Dr Strange and Dr Doom recently got a massive upgrade where it was shown they could go to the world of the dead, and bring back anyone they want, which means even if she was dead, they could still bring her back, re-write this, and THEN comeback to me", granted, I've heard that my idea actually IS a job, but either they don't have enough power, or the person or people with said job need to be fired

I mean, the writers of the comics have continued to keep Peter and Mary-Jane separate, and have cucked Peter by having her marry someone else, and have a kid with him. Meanwhile, Peter is still trying to get Mary-Jane back, and the rest of his life has completely fallen apart.

I was not there to say goodbye". It, and the fact Peter went to Doom for help (Who would 100% help just to spite Richards *and* lord it over Peter), are the only silver linings in this mess.

Fun fact: to really emphasize how big of a loser nerd-Peter was, he was shown reading Atlas Shrugged
He actually seems to be reading a book that has the front cover of Atlas Shrugged and the back cover of 1984. I actually looked up the comic online to check and there's no connecting panel where he switched books or anything.
What I loved about 'nerd Peter' is they tried to portray him as out of shape when he's....not really that big at all, sounds like he has a decent and interesting job that pays well and for the most part does have his shit together if not just a bit awkward.
The fact they tried to frame that as him being a loser tells me more about Quesada's idea of whom he deems as losers.

Spider-Man’s original artist and co-writer Steve Ditko was a libertarian who admired Ayn Rand. Some of the early comics show a more selfish Peter because of this, and later stories have referenced it.
To explain why peter punched iron man, it's actually canon to the comics that peter NEVER goes all out against anyone. And he's actually one of the top marvel characters in physical strength. Not like Thor or Hulk, but he's definitely strong enough that if he didn't hold back he would put dents in iron man's suits with a single punch. This isn't just a hypothesis btw, it's shown in the comics that when he goes all out he can straight up rip most people apart. Even beefcakes like kingpin he beat to a bloody pulp without much effort.
In Spider-Man 2 when Doc Ock tried to crush his skull we heard literally metallic noises, he's hella endureable
Top in physical strength? I can think of like, 20 characters that are stronger than him. His whole deal is that he’s good in closed spaces, slap him in a desert and he can’t do shit

this is why the new trend of making uncle ben and aunt may closer to peters parents age really makes alot more sense; it makes the death of uncle ben alot more tragic as he had more years left in his life to live that were taken from him, and it also makes the prospect of aunt may being in danger more suspenseful as she has more years to live.

“What would you do if the dearest person in your life” YEAH SORRY MARY JANE, THIS GRANDMA WITH A LONG FULFILLING LIFE BEHIND HER AND COLLECTIVE FOURTEEN MONTHS LEFT TO LIVE MATTERS MORE THAN OUR ETERNALLY SWORN LOVE

Just so long as there are no can-flippers in it. I hate those guys.
he's said before that at this point how it's made is the only thing that gets views on his channel and this is the content he actually wants to make
It definitely would have been a far, far more powerful message for Peter to realize that 50 or so years with Mary Jane will be worth more than, at best, 10 years with Aunt May. It'll hurt to say goodbye, and it'll never quite stop hurting, but he has to move on. He knew this day was coming sometime soon, whether it was a bullet or cancer or a heart attack. It'd be a message that everyone can relate to-once you reach a certain age, everyone has had someone close to them die, and been forced to life on without them. Instead, we have Peter making pretty much the most selfish decision he could possibly make and gaining almost nothing for it-certainly nothing worth the price.
It's hilarious how comic book fans are like "Yeah, the story is awful but look at this art!" and there isn't a single panel that looks good and no one has an even vaguely human looking face in the entire thing

Joe Quesada the penciler is also the chief editor of Spider-Man. It was his decision to force this story on the title. The writer wanted Aunt May to die and motivate Peter to move on and evolve before getting Dr Strange to mind wipe the Earth to forget his secret identity
It still baffles me how the higher-ups at Marvel (including then Editor-in-Chief Jose Quesadilla) unironically thought the Spider-fans were going to lap up the new (old?) post-OMD status quo.

Who hasn’t though
It's wild that spiderman no way home basically ran with this idea and it turns out to be one of the best spiderman films made.
That’s because Spider Man No Way Home had better writers (rumor has it that Joe Quesada wrote OMD and slapped J.Michael Strazinsky’s name on it)
To be fair about the fake name and nobody else at the hospital recognizing Peter part, it makes sense that only a doctor would recognize him since I'd expect medical authorities to need to remember particular faces on a record. Most people wouldn't expect to see a celebrity superhero having trouble with hospital bills and Peter has historically had a fairly nondescript appearance.
If Peter put on some glasses like Clark Kent, you'd be surprised how well that can actually work for a good while. Celebrities do it practically all the time, even Henry Cavill walked around Times Square with no one recognizing him.
Everything else about the comic is absolute garbage, though.
*looks up at huggbees* hmm
oh, yeah. when he stood outside the theatre for the superman viewing an no one recognized him
Indeed, Danny Devito is in fact a national treasure and is a blessing from god
What’s worse is that Aunt May dying isn’t a big deal in this because during the Clone Saga they meant for her to die peacefully and give it emotional weight. This was made as a editorial mandate to end Peter and Mj’s marriage because they felt like Peter was getting too old to appeal to young readers and wanted Spider-Man to stay young and hip
Doctor Doom would absolutely help Peter, just because everyone else said they couldn't, and just so he could bring it up every time his abilities are called into question.
"Doom, you can't do this really difficult thing, you're not capable enough."
"I saved Aunt May, and you couldn't."
