Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

No. People keep saying that, but it's wrong. One More Day has absolutely nothing to do with Mayday Parker, who was already born and exists in character limbo by the time it happened.
MJ gave birth to Mayday in the denouement of the Clone Saga. In the same hurricane of Reset Buttons that ended the Clone Saga as Aunt May and Norman Osborn's resurrections and Ben Reilly's death, MJ gave birth to the child that she'd been pregnant with during the arc and Norman Osborn immediately stole the baby. This has never been resolved. A What If? issue asked the question of what if Peter and MJ had managed to keep the baby, and during that issue, she grew up to be Mayday Parker, Spider-Girl. This spun off into the MC 2 alternate future.
Mayday has no connection to One More Day in any way, shape, or form. It is true that Mephisto boasted of robbing the pair of a child, but it was a child with MJ's deep red hair and no resemblance to Mayday, and MJ was not pregnant, Mephisto was merely talking about a future offspring they would one day have, and the way he talked about it was more "salt in the wound" than true intent.
When people say that One More Day robbed the universe of Mayday, they have no idea what they're talking about. It's a phenomenon I've seen countless times among much reviled storylines, where people ran out of things to be angry about but were still angry, so they began inventing new ones. There are many problems with One More Day, but causing Spider-Girl never to happen is not one of them. Spider-Girl will never happen because it was a hypothetical alternate universe from the moment of its conception, not because Joey Quesada sabotaged it.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Yeah, leave off Quesada for that specific point.
Instead hate Slott for making her an orphan.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersSo...pym is know beause he beat his wife once,scarlet because of "no more mutants"(and make out with his brother) and Spider is now know as the guy with the clone...or the guy who sold his marrige to the devil.....
Any more moment like this in the comics?
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"The time Daredevil burned down an orphanage while cackling maniacally. (Okay, I made that one up.)
I've got fanfics for Frozen, Spectacular Spider-Man, Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro the Dragon.Mayday Parker already happened. Norman Osborn kidnapped the baby and the writers promptly forgot she existed. Spider-Girl takes place in what was explicitly identified as an alternate universe from the moment it was created. It is not the future of the 616 timeline, nor has it ever been, nor will it ever be, regardless of what happened in One More Day and its ensuing timeskip.

HOW DARE YOU IMPLY THE THANOS-COPTER WAS ANYTHING SHORT OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE CONCEPT TO GRACE COMIC PAGES?!

Wait, so is 616 Mayday's little baby corpse in a dumpster somewhere, then? Or is she gonna come back years from now in an epic storyline where it turns out Norman somehow raised her as a supervillain?
...Holy crap, that's a way better idea than Silk.

I've got fanfics for Frozen, Spectacular Spider-Man, Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro the Dragon.Its never going to happen as long as the editors at marvel are pathologically afraid of aging Peter.
Even a slightly grown up daughter would mean that Peter MIGHT BE THIRTY YEARS OLD!!!!
And then everyone would die of old age instantly. Especially Franklin Richards.
Besides, the concept was basically already used with the Gwen slept with Norman story and her artificially aged up children.

That, yes.
It is probable that 616 Mayday will remain in Character Limbo, being raised and taken care of by other characters the plot forgot about, changing parents and guardians every time a long-forgotten character returns to the spotlight or another one drifts off the pages into temporary oblivion, until one day she returns to take her revenge on the fickle system of popularity powers and gratuitous murder of the D-listers that were brought out of Limbo just to die.

Forever liveblogging the AvengersNot complaining or anything, but I can't help but be amused by how this thread (dedicated to a franchise he isn't even a part of) seems to have more discussion of Spider-Man than the threads actually
about him
do.
