Part of me still thinks Joe's barking up the wrong tree with 'Peter has to be single so he can have a soap opera dating life.'
Well, especially seeing as he's likely going to spend a lot of it hanging upside down outside MJ's house when he ought to be out clubbing, or fighting crime.
All this is so over-complicated; couldn't someone who's set out to destroy everything Peter holds dear have some luck for a change? People have been trying to do this every now and again for the last forty years, after all. So what would be wrong with Doctor Octopus, say, blowing up Aunt May's house while Peter and MJ were over for dinner? A man of Peter's talents would have no problem with faking his
own death in those circumstances, and while, okay, he might be a bit traumatised afterwards, hasn't he always been that way, ever the Uncle Ben incident? I think as long as it wasn't actually his fault, he'd heal, in time.
Especially if he moved to Miami or somewhere, and embraced a kind of Charlie Sheen/Frasier partying lifestyle. His enemies, who are perhaps the most interesting thing about him, would, of course, only be a few steps behind.
This might sound a bit harsh, but keeping MJ alive seems like a major mistake, if Peter's ever going to become the kind of guy that Joe Q could, in principle, play poker with, or invite over for a couple of beers during the football season. Without there being a risk of him bursting into tears every time there's an injury.
