if I had a nickel for every time a Marvel character named Peter had a girlfriend that didn’t remember their relationship decided to let go and move on without each other, I’d have two nickels.
Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice right?
The absolute vindication and relief that MJ Watson did not beg for Peter to include her in the spell I wish everyone who wanted that to happen a very “you’re not allowed to like MJ anymore”
“Seek ur so mean it’s romantic people are allowed to want them together!”
Codependency is not cute actually sorry that I don’t have the emotional intelligence of a fourteen year old I think MJ should have more in her life than her high school boyfriend she’s dated for all of four months
Can we please talk about how underrated the last part of the opera scene is in ffh?? Like Peter stopping to look back at mj before he has to leave, and mj turning around and seeing him right before he leaves, and immediately following him?? like just no hesitation either she immediately stands up and leaves. Idk what it is just something about it gets me every time but I never see anyone talk about it
You're right and you should say it!!!! It's one of the reasons (the other being sheer laziness) that I only ever use Brad as a throw away character bc that girl does not like him???? Lmao like love tri where???? She's NOT INTO HIM.
Forever and always she loves Peter I'll ditch you at the opera even tho I just said I'd share glasses w you Parker 😭😭😭😭
Like her running straight after him??? She's knows something is up!!! She's goint to find out!!!! Ill cry!!!!
And also like the whole FFH w jealous Peter???? Popping his head up on the coach and the glare at Brad please I am living for it!!!!
PETER W OUT THE MASK AT SCHOOL IM COMMITTING A CRIME IM SO SERIOUS!!!!!! LIKE I KNOW MJ IS THERE AS WELL I NEED IT RIGHT NOW im SCREECHING. gym scene WHEN CONTRACTS WHEN
Am I the only one who thinks that Peter and Ned wouldn't be as close after Ned and MJ get their memories back? I still think they would be best friends but they just wouldn't be as close of best friends as they were before?
I think about this a lot. The thing about Peter’s choice at the end is depending on how it’s fixed and how long it’s been, I am more of the mind that in Reality, MJ might be the one who is less likely to accept Peter back in her life.
Like we all know Peter and MJ are endgame because of the Mythos and History but in Actual Reality? Actually Looking at Canon without shipping goggles?
Peter and MJ dated for a grand total of four months. Max.
Why tf would she be so freely and easily willing to accept the boy who broke her heart and his promise back into her life years later? When she’s forgotten him for longer than she ever dated him? For longer than she even knew him?
We don’t actually know how long Peter and Ned were friends or the effect of the memory spell on their Life and Experiences. I can easily imagine Ned being upset and hurt that Peter didn’t just break his promise but broke apart years of memories.
I’m optimistic, maybe stupidly so, for how they all will come back together again. But I’m hesitant to say it’s only Ned that wouldn’t be as close.
Not when Peter and MJ didn’t have much of a relationship to begin with.
I think should is a strong word. There’s a lot of reasons why I can easily imagine Ned and MJ would forgive Peter, just as I can imagine plenty of reasons why they wouldn’t.
Should implies there’s a right or wrong answer here and I personally just think it’s a lot more complicated than that. @promiseofthepremise and I talk about that nuance + complication in a treacherous gain a LOT but I think personally, that’s something I’d love to see more of in fandom. Enough with the instant forgiveness, let them think about it. Let them wonder. Let them be upset! It’s not that they can’t or wouldn’t forgive him but there’s a Lot There and I think it undermines Ned and MJ’s agency for fandom to do the same.
