Can any /co/mrades explain who the fuck is Paul and why he triggers Spiderfags so much?
>>222309778>Peter and MJ exist>MJ gets stranded in an alternate dimension with this Paul guy>Peter finally saved MJ after a few years>she's now fucking Paul>Paul now exists just to keep Peter and MJ apart
peter is a super cuck to paul i'm not a comic reader but i saw a panel and it was the most egregious thing ever it had paul and mj making dinner in their kitchen and peter was just there in suit at the window
>>222309778Cool better can just get with Gwen and every female villain now
>>222309778Writer's self insert, complete with man bun. Editorial is never going to let peter and MJ get back together. Paul is a symptom of desperately trying to make MJ her own character. Paul built her super-power jackpot machine, but no one really liked that, then she wound up as the NEW-Venom, and no one has really liked that, and the next big spider-event in the comics is the Queen in Black where Eddie will come back and get the venom suit after he spent a year or two as the carnage host
>Spider-Man and Mary Jane Watson are married in the comics, and a very popular pairing.>Marvel decides being married ages Spider-Man too much and has Peter sell his marriage to the devil to save Aunt May.>Peter spends years cycling through boring new love interests while fans beg Marvel to get him and MJ back together.>Marvel appears to listen and has Peter and MJ begin working towards a reconciliation.>At the last second, MJ is yeeted off to another dimension.>When Peter rescues her, he finds out years have passed from her perspective and she fell in love with a guy named Paul.>Paul follows MJ back to her universe, leading to years of Peter simping for MJ while she stays with Paul.>Paul is generally written as a nice guy who respects Peter, but fans develop a seething hatred for him.>After years of ragebaiting fans by doing stuff like making it appear Paul and MJ had kids (they just took in two orphans for a while), Marvel decides to lean into the Paul hatred.>The comics become about how everyone and everything hate Paul, to the point they introduced Venom’s bratty teenage son whose sole purpose is to tell Paul how much he sucks.>Recently, MJ broke up with Paul, he got killed by a supervillain, nobody attended his funeral, and Peter said Paul was never his friend and he couldn’t care less about his death.>Fans have been dancing on Paul’s grave ever since.So the prospect of Paul now being in the MCU and cucking Peter again is sending them into a bit of a tailspin.
>>222309778That's an engagement bait post. The movie's credits don't mention a "Paul."
>>222309778What subtitles? In the credits, he was "The Boyfriend".
>>222310236>to the point they introduced Venom’s bratty teenage son whose sole purpose is to tell Paul how much he sucks.Dylan Brock had been around before that. He was an important part of the big gay dracula from pace story line, and he took the venom symbiote when eddie became the new king in black.
>>222309935They should have made her ricochet she found the original jacket spider man used when he was the character
>>222309778Peter and MJ finally get back together, but then some ambiguously brown guy that kidnaps MJ and brings her to his dimension where he killed an the other guys and holds her hostage for years until she develops Stockholm syndrome and screws him and they have two adopted kids together, then she comes back to the regular world (for Peter only five seconds have passed but she's been gone five years) She then yells at Peter and tells him she doesn't care about his feelings because it's her life and she's moved on and is in love with Paul now. They then spend the next six years of IRL comics dating while Peter beta orbits her and has to tell Paul he thinks he's really cool and likes his recipe for couscous (yes, this happens) Paul then makes Mary Jane a robot suit that gives her luck based powers (what even does that mean) and she becomes a superhero named Jackpot because when she met Peter she said Face it Tiger, You just hit the jackpot because I'm the mind of the modern nepo baby hack that makes sense and is good writing
>>222310654It was even more annoying since they spent several months teasing who the new venom was going to be, saying it was going to be one of four characters (Robbie Robertson, Madam Masque, luke cage, and someone else), only to have the big reveal that it was none-of-the-above.
>knowing this much about capeshit comicsEnd your miserable existences.
>>222310504>>222310563Subtitled screenings in various countries identify him as Paul, but it seems to be just an extrapolation from the existence of the character in the comics, rather than any official confirmation from Marvel, and at least some of these screenings reportedly named him "Nate".
>>222310879Awww is the little baby mad that other people actually still read?
I swear comics weren't this retarded as a kid
>>222310984I think they were. I remember reading a comic in the late 80s where some younger x-men characters were chased through some nightmare world by a yellow reddit mod with mechanical legs. Shit was always weird.
>>222310984Sure they were. And there is still decent stuff being published out there. The new Ultimates just ended, and its a solid 2 year run that takes place in (another) ultimate universe created by evil reed richards where he tried to neutralize or co-opt as many capes as he could to create his perfect world. Howard and Tony Stark manage to trap the maker in a pocket universe hyperbolic time-chamber and Tony spends 2 years trying to reunite people with their powers in an attempt to build a team that can help dismantle the maker's new world order, and prepare to fight him when he comes back. The Ultimate Spiderman books (not Miles), feature a peter parker who gets his powers much later in life, after he is married with MJ and has two kids, and it was the best selling marvel book in ages.
>>222310236>nice guy who respects peterExcept he straight up planned and got MJ stranded on purpose
>>222311129>a yellow reddit mod with mechanical legsSounds like Mojo. The guy who runs a planet where the entire economy is based on reality television programming broadcast to the universe. Same place that the X-Babies came from.
