Bump if you're reading.
>>156259507May's drawn a little too hot here.
>>156259507>You didn't forget all that shitActually yeah, I completely did.
>>156259553Has JJ ever died? Not for real obviously but as a fake out? I remember a few heart attacks. I'm not trying to give marvel ideas but it feels like an obvious stunt.
>>156259532Makes no sense for him to introduce Rae to a crowd. Now if he's seen anywhere near her as Peter... people will put two and two together.
And that's it. If you liked these, support your LCS or whatever.
>>156259639Another issue, another reminder Felicia's a lesbian.
>>156259495This art is fukken weird. It's one thing for the girls to have same face, but they feel all same-expression too, but also GOOD LORD WHAT IS WRONG WITH GLITCH
>>156259516The one downside to OMD potentially being on the chopping block is knowing that Kelly would like nothing more than to crush supportive yellow alien puss, and that potentially not coming to fruition. He's been wearing it on his sleeve ever since he almost crushed red demoness puss
>>156259770It's bad.
>>156259507May is drawn ridiculously too young, without dialogs I would think she's Felicia
>>156259477JJJ is the new Tombstone?
>>156259725>lesbiananyone would fuck Emma
>>156259662So the whole "Black Cat is a mutant with the X-Men" news was bait as usual, and she's just undercover for Emma Frost.
>>156259525Kelly please no one cares about Damage Control. Just wait for Chip to put Nick Fury back in charge of the real SHIELD again
>>156259875Sure, but especially Felicia.
>>156259615Wasn't the whole premise of this dogshit run that Felicia is going straight? Straight as in not a criminal, they'd never let her be actually straight again.>>156259645>I didn't know you existedWhat? Were you under a rock when she and the other phoenix five damn near took over the planet?
>>156259482Ugh, you caught me again, OP!
>>156259859The thing about the original Aunt May is she was so obviously physically and mentally frail it was genuinely believable finding out Peter was Spider-Man would kill her. Nowadays, not so much.
>>156259798The way Kelly writes them, it seems like Peter's feelings for her are totally platonic. Raelith's only purpose is to make Peter really sad and angry when Hellgate kills her.
>>156259594Mary Jane is openly using her symbiote on the street. Peter in an age of drones and CCTV cameras, takes his mask off on roofs all the time. Raelith exercises with Peter on said roofs and nobody plans or even mentions it the risks by association. Half of the people in Peters life know, and this is a world of psychics and impersonators.We're not even Clark Kent with glasses levels of non-effort here. The secret identities stay secret because the writers say they do, not because the world they have has rules being respected.Besides, what the fuck is Peter even keeping the charade for anymore? He doesn't have a life outside the mask, the only vulnerable person who is family left is Aunt May. It's just more status quo for status quo shit.
>>156259495Rae is HOT.
>>156259532CUTE.
I had honestly forgotten that the wacky alien roommates existed
>>156260239We're tub deep in spaghetti plot here.Let alone if we try figure out how to reconcile the multiple world ending events that would have happened in-universe in like the one month? A week?
>>156259553When Ive said I want that old cunt to die I meant Aunt May not Gazette/Podcast Hitler
>>156259553Oh god not this weird incest baby again Kelly.
>>156260249It dont matter manYou know how dc is in "everything happened,all is canon" state rn ?Marvel is in state of "we have no idea if it is or its not canon give us a break or we will make Fantastic Four a polycule" state
>>156259997Some clever writer of the next gen trying to repair the long mid-life crisis of ASM's office might make Aunt May's benjamin button syndrome a product of the deal, but introduce some demonic drawbacks to really ram home the fact that you shouldn't leave the discretion of how you accomplish something to the freaking devil.
>>156260291Marvel is in a state of>oh fuck oh hell our EIC is replaced to Siberia, precious New York status quo is gone and Disney is not impressed with the officeContinuity is hard for them when they aren't on fire and being given the 'talk' by Wacker.
>>156259482What is that face in the fourth panel? I mean at least it’s trying to be cute I guess.
>upcoming Spider-man compendium is 60 dollarsNICEEEEE!!
>>156259482When did Winters became normal, instead of try hard "still 20 in my 30s" genki girl?
>>156259502Damn, if superhumans suck so much, maybe they should introduce some kind of... Act... to Register Superhumans?
>>156260317They really cant just have a zoom call and say : Hulk beats everyone to death about month AFTER Angels wipe the slate clean with everyone who dealt with Mephisto,dont do x y or z for that amount of timeIs it really that hard to spend 2 weeks at the end of the year to plan next years events ?
>>156260215>It's just more status quo for status quo shit.Rigidly enforcing the status quo is the only thing that matters. Change is poison. Change is death.
>>156260367You know what loves stagnation ?Worms,now look at OMD Clique and imagine them without armsAwfully worm like
>>156260372The puppets WILL dance the exact same dance over and over again forever.
>>156259507I mean, I remember... but does it even fuckin matter? What, do they still have BBQ every week or something?
>>156259521...should I recognize this people...?
>>156260366Comics in Big 2 right now are planned about half a year in advance, this is pretty shit considering one of the advantages of the ongoing medium in the past is the ability to quickly course correct as compared to film, television, books etc, but that's modern corporate for you.What should have been obvious is low-stakes easing off the pedal on the event spam during the change-over transition, so Avengers gets to hit even harder with a bang for Wackers entrance. Right now we are looking at a spud-guns grace trying to sort out the mess.
>>156259884you sound surprised
>>156259648maybe she was talking about Dazzler, you idiot
>>156260576NTA but all we have is b8 covers with plots and premises more interesting than whatever gets written.See that's been a tactic since the silver age, but at least those covers half the time were just shitposts.
>no blatant Felicia mind-control by Emma abusing her powers againOne job.
So the plot is Emma wants Felicia to do mutie blackface to steal some random macguffin from Scott, despite having reconciled over and within X-Men United's poorly explained psychic mindmeldGuessing the X-Office and Spider-Office didn't talk to each other about this
>>156260961No office talks to each-other.The EIC is asleep on the best of days, now we're effectively in the wilderness without one.
>>156259650I like how they set up a bond between Emma and Felicia over having a rocky relationship with an ex.
>>156260367"History is the study of change. Change is life. When things become static, it means they're dead."
>>156260396Peter’s former boss from his short-lived job at Rand Corporation and her son, the dying wannabe superhero with the ugly costume and shield.
>>156261149Who in the Kelly run will actually be around a run from now?
>>156259539>>156259548>>156259553I guess JJJ is now going back to reporting on anti-Spider-Man stuff but still being friends with Peter
>>156259770Most of these Italians fucking suck. They try too hard to be anime but aren't actually good or competent artists.
>>156261194There is no Peter, so it might as well be an antagonist for hire now.Issue is now it's more for clickbait than a maddened projection of insecurity and cynicism, even JJJ is lesser now.
>>156259482Di Meo is always an odd artist i think this might be his first non-X-Men-related work at Marvel
>>156259477>Literally 0 development over 1000 issuesWhy is Marvel so shitty?
>>156259525>Russian EmbassyNew York only has a russian Consulate Kelly, that's just sloppy.
>>156259499>>156259506I was expecting him to leave his alien gf at home again so it's nice to see that not be the case. They really should start using her more and in other titles outside of ASM.
>>156261265No it would be one thing if this was Peanuts or something episodic, which seems to be what the Clone Saga onwards ethos of the office has been since the 90's.The problem is that the series and character made his bones not doing that, developments did happen and they did matter. Mayday dying and the Aunt May fakeout was a real severing event, Peter went from a man to a mascot. You don't get actual stories unless outside the main ongoing.
>>156261314>They really should start using her more and in other titles outside of ASMAssuming she doesn't get killed to try eke some drama from Hellgate who has just been spinning for the entire run since his arrival, she won't be mentioned or brought up again.Why would she or the alien cast? They barely got the fleshing out job needed by Kelly, why would other people flesh them out when they could just take the tried and true or give their own OC's a go?Remove Raeliths body and realize there is nothing there anon beyond typical warrior culture eating icecream gap-moe stuff.
>>156260961The fundamental premise of this book is based on the fact that the author doesn't know anything about Black Cat, of course there's not gonna be any consistency with other books
>>156259627This is a more interesting use of Emma powers than her just immediately going into diamond form
>>156259482>>156259484damn this shit is uglyI read the first page and I'm already boredbe back in a few years
>>156259884And the people making threads complaining about it knew it was BS as well. So anons were either baited by solicits, baited by other anons, or were acting outraged knowing it wasn't real anyway.
>>156260225Peter’s cum dumpster
>>156261330Yeah I don't expect her to really last that long in any case. Peter has the worst string of love interests since OMD and that's because nobody puts in the work to make any of them work. The ladies come and go and another takes their place. But I imagine that's how Marvel wants it.
>>156261359As shitposters above.So shitposters below.
>>156261435It's a terrible catch-22 scenario, and a predictable outcome those who were bumrushing OMD didn't care to think about.>audience are predisposed to be annoyed by new LI because they are supplanting a popular one with twenty IRL history, one that didn't end arguably or with clear catharsis, so every new LI is coming in with baggage ALA Carlie>any IC that can overcome this predisposition, put in the work, win over the audience, is suddenly hitting the wall where the relationship can't actually progress meaningfully with any milestones beyond perhaps moving in>new author comes in, doesn't have any qualms, needs or ring on finger preventing them from shoveling out dead weight to make way for their LI>audience is quickly trained to not give any new LC any emotional investment, as they are shown over and over that it doesn't matter>we are now at the point you just leave the previous love interest on read, and the new one doesn't even say this is a relationship beyond sexAnd so the rom-com that was the secret sauce of ASM becomes a toxic sludge.You have to look to alternative universes and runs for healthy and good Spider-Man relationships now, it's fine if it's not MJ, it just can't be 616. 616 is fucking cooked.
How can ASM be so childish and demented, it's honestly impressive.
>>156261524It's a story about youth, not responsibility anon.
>>156259507>that terrible Spider-ManAnd we're back to the deadest cow trite old bitty routine for May.Maybe this is all a meta-commentary about how the characters are just becoming amnesiac parodies of themselves over time?
>>156261314No they shouldn't Rae sucks.
>>156261513If you dont treat a character like MJ as an essential part of Peters life and story, the way aunt may is treated, you get what we have. Raelith is as meaningless as shay, if I was writing ASM tomorrow I would skin them both alive.
>>156259648>>156259650>>156259658There are two major problems with this plan:1. Why exactly can't the Alaskan X-Men just hand it over? It's not like they don't trust Emma, hell many of the Alaskan X-Men are working with her in X-Men United. And if she has already stated her intentions with the CPU to them, then they must have a reasonable explanation to why they're not handing it over.2. Two of the Alaskan X-Men have telepathic immunity and one of them is one of the most powerful psychics on the planet, and Emma's cloakings are most likely going to be telepathic. So how the actual hell is this plan going to work without Quentin accidentally walking in and going "What the fuck is Black Cat doing in the Factory"?
>>156261693They are caught between wanting MJ written off as a Betty hasbeen ALA Brevoort BND mandate, the usual suspects who want Peter an evergreen single bachelor for the next thousand issues, and the rest of the audience and IP which has already accepted MJ is the one.I'm just bemused, had they kept them together they could explore Peter single or with other people in all kinds of different ongoings and series, but they had to bring 616 to its knees.
>>156259507What a caring son.
>>156259565Daily dose of BBC brings out women’s youth.
>>156261191Ricardo, the black man banging Aunt May
>>156261655>Rae sucksI wish.
>>156259951>Wasn't the whole premise of this dogshit run that Felicia is going straight?The premise was to knock down a few villains because they were making too much noise and security in NYC was escalating which cut into her main job of being a thief She did none of that
>>156259594With Aunt May under Cormac’s guard, there’s no reason for Peter to keep his identity a secret.
Over the last years, Amazing Spider-Man has revolved around Dementia, Stockholm Syndrome, Dementia, Cancer, Cellular Degeneration, Dementia, Oedipus and Electra Complexes. Are the people at spider-office alright? Is this youth?
I want to put my penis inside Norah Winters' vagina
I miss PepeThis new guy is trying to do that western/anime fusion and he's not that good at it
>>156259506You know, we've been free of the "marvel civilian" stereotype in comics for almost 10 years. And now it's back with a vengeance.
>>156261135But puppets aren't alive. Their history is artificial and ephemeral, and only exists to serve their singular purpose: to dance on strings for your amusement. You can accept that the puppets will keep dancing the same dance forever, or you can walk away from the puppet show, but you cannot and will not stop the puppets from dancing.
>>156259507Bro the audacity of portraying/drawing aunt may youngrr than she actually is then reminding us she's technically old boomer jjj's mom too
>>156259553I liked this. Seeing Norah again, and Peter actually letting Rae go with him was nice.
What would happen if they erased the last 20 years of "continuity".
woke and lame
>>156259531Homophobic spider-man stopping men from kissing
>>156259725Yes, everyone will fuck Frost, but this is more about a lady in diamond.
>>156259505>A tragedy there doesn't have to mean unrest hereThat not how it works in modern times.
>>156259594Since when does Peter have a life in his modern comics? He doesn't meet the friends writers forget/don't know they exist, he immediately loses any job not even halfway through a run, writers steal his characters for other heroes, spider writers kill any normal people they can, or turn them into superpowered people. Who cares?Spider-man without the soap opera elements is boring
>>156262315They put in "soap opera" elements with Flash and MJ during Death Spiral, it was terrible and did nothing but piss people off. >>156259539Peter Isn't a character anymore, he's just a mouth piece. A character this popular in a progressive corporation like Disney with writers this dense isn't allowed to be a character that exists in an actual story.
>>156259490>home to over nine thousand residentsGeez Louise. Next time on '25 year old internet humor'.Between this and 'instinct that is ultra fast' or whatever the retarded line from last issue was I guess there's a lot of DBZ pandering going on in the Spidey offices.
>>156259516Kek, this is just Wells 2.0, but this time Peter trying to rescue a woman from another man is being presented as something positive.
>>156259553Does JJJ know Peter is Spider-Man? If so when did this happen? I haven't kept up with AMS in a few hundred issues because everything I saw looked retarded.
>>156262739Yes he knows.Remember they were step brothers
>>156262739Peter confronted him in a podcast and then unmasked, I think it was on Zdarsky's Spectacular. It's been largely a non-factor since as no one wants to write it.
>>156262524There is good soap and shit soap. Seeing Peter achieve something irl should be just as fun as his punching bad dudes.Seeing Pete meet the rare supporting cast, being called a loser and then fucking off to suit up is not fun.
>>156259553Itsy Bitsy is actually a fun relatively new villain addition
>>156261199I think Mirka Andolfo is the only one that comes to mind that looks pretty pseudo-anime but ultimately did alright, but I might also be saying that because she didn't hold out on the boobage in Sweet Paprika
>>156262777Shit, Zdarsky wrote that too? I really have to look into this guy later. I'm not really big on the behind the scenes or even too much into author names; I just suck down my slop each week and smile, so I'm getting blindsided by how this is like, the only guy that's allowed to move the plot forward in a lot of regards (somehow even getting the closest to ending OMD despite ostensibly not caring about it)
>>156261335Cat getting dogwalked was the highlight here. A lot of the issue was dumb, but that works.
>>156263739>Shit, Zdarsky wrote that too?Yeah, Jonah is his favourite Spider-Man character; he even did an annual for Life story entirely about Jonah
And and you suckers really thought felica was about to become a mutant lol. Black Cat fans are so naive.
>>156259884>So the whole "Black Cat is a mutant with the X-Men" news was bait as usual, and she's just undercover for Emma Frost.Hey anon rumor has it Uncle Ben is being brought back. But seriously you people are so such fools of course Black Cat becoming a mutant was bait. Now excuse me but I rather read this book instead.
>>156261907>What a caring son.Yeah quiter frankely he is keep that peter parker far away from may I say.

>>156264936>>156259625Well that'll teach me to post before reading the next page
>>156259490Continuity?! In my Marvel comics? BRING BACK BENDIS ALREADY! I'm having none of this.
>>156265044It is kinda funny that, at least at what I'm reading, only ASM has really made it feel like this was a huge eventAnd of course Infernal and DNX are nowhere to be seen or mentioned
>>156259553If only deadpool didn't stop Peter from killing her
>>156260225Yellow butt cheeks
>>156261693The issue is Peter and MJ's relationship has been utterly dragged through the mud and it comes off as a toxic obsession on Peter's side. It's weird. Like Peter needs her to completely function like normal or that his head is out of sorts. Like it's to where to i don't give a damn about her anymore and this needs a reset ala dc to make sense of things.
>>156259557Letters page focused of 999. Still no feed back for 1000? lol
>>156265261Lowe doesn't have enough tokens and he doesn't feel like renewing his A.I. subscription.
>>156265103The X-Men don't care about humsns or their government.The X-Men book spinning out of this is about the The X-Men (let's face, it just Storm) fighting all the space aliens and super villains while the Avengers and F4 are licking their wounds.It's pretty smart, The X-Men need a heroic rehab, Storm needs so more pelts for her wall if she's going to take that jump into the leading lady of Marvel
>>156265261Comics are produced almost 6 months in advance of their release. A writer or editor might add a topical reference before they go to print but typically they're working months ahead.
>>156265224Getting over MJ seems to be the biggest hurdle peter, and these writers, have ever faced. They really like using it.
>>156262524The Flash/MJ shit was the worst form of soap opera shit because both writers and audience knew it was going nowhere, and it was coming at the worst possible time for them both.Flash was Peters best man and has long moved on, MJ is a schizo mess blaming her behaivour on trauma we never see because the writers are tiptoeing around how terribly she's been handled and don't want to hold them responsible by proxy by giving her any accountability.Just a bad situation. Peter should leave NY and MJ needs to die so the original can appear from a portal and we say this one was hydro all this time.
>>156264048I mean the Archieverse gets one thing right as compared Marvel Comics and that's keeping its characters consistent, that's what makes it fun throwing them in crazy situations and crossovers.
>>156265569They are never going to despite every writer there is blatant denial of where they are, and your read #1000's QA and it's clear why. It's just an office of bitter Gwenfags.
>>156265881I happen to be a long time Gwenfag. And I tell you right now given how much they have ruined Mary Jane I rather they get rid of her and bring back Gwen and have her and Peter be with each other screw Mary Jane.
>>156266025Assuming you're not the one Gwenschizo, you don't want any love interest under their pen.This is the most anti-romantic group of writers to ever be in the bullpen, you read Chip, Lowe etc and realize they cannot fucking write this critical part of ASM. They did it to MJ, they would do it to Gwen.What a realistic Gwenfag would want is a new elseworld or ongoing where Peter and Gwen are together outside the usual suspects bullshit. Of course then Gwen would need an actual personality.
>>156266064>What a realistic Gwenfag would want is a new elseworld or ongoing where Peter and Gwen are together outside the usual suspects bullshit. Of course then Gwen would need an actual personality.That's why we have marvel arts I have several elseworld/Fanfictions takes on which I would love to see get them published by them.Take one: Gwen does not die and peter manages to save her from the Green Goblin. Thus what follows is the lives the could have had with each other had she lived.Take Two: this version has a twist The Green Goblin abductes Mary Jane and Gwen since he finds out Mary Jane is in love with Peter so he throws both of them off the briidge to their deaths. They both seemingly die but Gwen awkens some time later in her grave from her "death". As it turns she really is a mutant she then starts to have flashbacks of memories of which she was not aware of it turns out her death has triggered those memories to surface/ the saga of mutant Gwen then follows.
>>156266372>Gwen does not die and peter manages to save her from the Green Goblin. She would have broken up with him. She hated spider-man and was actively creating a false version of Peter in her mind.
>>156266534First step of any gwenfag is actively ignoring how she was written when alive.
>>156263739Zdarsky's Spectacular actually had a shit ton of great developments for Peter in a really short run, which makes it frustrating as hell that all of them have just been swept away or ignored since.Jonah discovering Peter's identity and becoming his allyConfirming Teresa as his sister and her being around a lot for a while thereActually trying to do something interesting with May by teasing her having cancer and Peter trying to show up for her.It's honestly for the best that Zdarsky has no interest in taking over ASM since editorial would fuck him at every opportunity, but he's one of the only writers at Marvel who actually still seems to want to try to do anything good with the line.>>156262777Spencer leaned into it pretty hard during his run on ASM, before his run got hijacked and they ignored all of it. And everything since then has been misery porn bullshit so yeah, nobody bothers writing the few good things in Pete's life.
>>156266534>She would have broken up with him. She hated spider-man and was actively creating a false version of Peter in her mind.I take it you have never read the what if story had she lived have you? maybe you should it shows what happens once Gwen does find out Peter is in fact Spider-Man in short you are full of bull. they could have had a happy life with each other had peter come clean with Gwen about the truth. Thus the reasoon why I want elseworld take o what would happen had she lived, I want to extend that narrative and show what happens next.As for the second take in whict Gwen turns out be a mutant this is deliberate since i want twist take of a story
>>156266746Zdarsky's Spectacular run had the same editor as Amazing, Nick Lowe.
>>156266775So then she leaves Peter to join the X-Men.
>>156266775"Jenny Blake" Isabella simply glossed over the problems Gwen should have had with Peter, it was a poorly written issue.
>>156266832uhhh no the story is a bit more complicated then that. No spoilers mind you but I will tell you this much the story takes quite a few twists towards the end with Emma Frost entering the foray
>>156262238>Jonah would still be at the Bugle>Peter would be allowed to work there>Peter's friends would not have powers and Flash would still have his legs>Ben Reilly would still be dead>Kaine would still be his 90s self
>>156266826Yeah? Did I say differently?Editorial doesn't really give a fuck about the side books and will let writers get away with doing actually interesting shit in them. ASM is the book they care about and they will not allow anything to alter the "Peter is built to have his mouth shit in by god" status quo in that one.
>>156259539>Superheroes are a menace!Five seconds later>AIIIEEEE SAVE ME SUPERHEROES FROM BEING PLACED IN THE DUNGEONS
>>156267011In short, actually closer to the BND vision of 70's forever than the guys who blew up everything trying to get there.
>>156267092It's always been the worst most nonsensical part of Marvel Citizens.What is the answer to Superpowered individuals? Punish those trying to do good with them and within the limits of the law, and give a free rein to those wanting to exploit them? Or just give trillions to the Sentinel program again?
>>156261655The only chick I care about Peter hooking up with at this point is the autist from the Rand job. Or Sable.
>>156267192I'd like Sable to take Peter and get him the fuck away from New York which has over time cut off every reason to stay.
>>156267192>>156267232I'm actually surprised Kelly hasn't thrown out a random plot thread with Sable showing up and telling Peter about Ock in Europe because of AIM connections so he wants to look into that as well
>>156267251Kelly needs to start resolving the spaghetti thrown on the wall, not smashing plates more.It occurs to me that Ben would have been really handy to use, keep Peter in space where Kelly clearly wants him to be and Ben can handle the Cormac/Death Spiral shit. He can also be the unbiased vehicle for calling MJ out on all her shit because Peter is too much of a carpet nowadays to set boundaries.
>>156267047>Editorial doesn't really give a fuck about the side books and will let writers get away with doing actually interesting shit in themLowe has this same attitude about all the spider-books. There's no difference between Amazing and Spectacular or whatever Spider-book Slott's working on that month. Look at the Spencer run that was also edited by Lowe. It's the individual writers' preferences to write these particular stories this way.
>>156267909What does Lowe actually do besides annoy in the letters and carry water for the bad ideas of the writers, so long as they aren't going after the office one sacred icon to Baphomet?

>>156267994I keep seeing typos and even the wrong hair color of characters.
>>156266848>simply glossed over the problems Gwen should have had with PeterNo, dude. You just wanna be right like every fucking dork.
I started with the movies and 90s cartoon. I also read the JMS comics as a kid. I don't get the attachment to MJ.
>>156268182Who do you prefer?For me I would be happy if Peter was with other people so long as it's not 616. That's the universe it was a done thing. All the worst stories since Clones have been about trying to avoid it.And even the OMD troglodytes have now had to make her the 'end game' that will never come, and that becomes more ridiculous because they make it more of a toxic relationship between now and then. Right now Peter and MJ don't deserve anyone, they are not good people for relationships, they would die unhappy and alone.
>>156259506Carol mentioned!
>>156268182You read JMS and didn't get at least some aspect to it? Also you saying this, ignoring all other previous threads that have posted pages from the 70's-90's shows you're baiting.
>>156268182she was fun in a world of cardboard cutouts for Peter to smash through
>>156267287MJ is damaged goods and 4 years older. Peter has no franchise love interest left and realeth feels like a consolation prize.
>>156269408Raelith is the end-product of BND love interests being glorified bond girls.Not even pretending this relationship is more than couch cuddles and sex. Granted it looks and quacks like a duck, but even Kelly has thrown the towel in on it. Shay literally leaves Peter left on read, which speaks volumes on how romance was left written in Wells.Such a critical part of ASM has just for years been written so very very very badly.
>>156269402When was the last time we saw this characterization of MJ?This was the thing that actually made her popular.
