At some point Tom Brevoort should just shut up.
Right now, as Bounding Into Comics has been documenting, Brevoort, current Executive Editor at Marvel, seems to be working to execute his own sales when it comes the main Spider-Man comics versus Ultimate Spider-Man mark 2 (probably volume 85 the way Marvel renumbers everything whenever a new creator takes over) and the continuing war by the Spider-Writers on the Spider-Marriage. As fans see the marriage returned to that version of Peter Parker, they’re starting to use that as proof they should get back together in 616.
That will never happen with the current writers.
Oh, they’ll tease you with it now and then in the hopes of suckering you in, but as Brevoort has been saying on his Substack, they have no intention of restoring the marriage. We know that. He will gladly use dumb excuses why, but he won’t do it. The Spider-Writers have been trying to undo that since the 1990s and they’re thrilled Joe Quesada found a way to retroactively remove it from continuity no matter how stupid and how damaging it was to Peter’s reputation, and they love that Mary Jane’s character could also be ruined. So now Brevoort is pulling a Zac “I don’t know my job is making fantasy worlds” Snyder and continuing to defend their decision in a way that actually makes their changes worse received instead of better.

BW Vs Bleeding Fool> Superheroes STILL Don’t Need A Break
Why do we keep having this conversation. Come to think of it, why do we keep rehashing most of these conversations lately? Maybe because we focus on the wrong problem.
Admittedly I’m a huge superhero fan. I grew up at a time when being a superhero fan was rewarded with content. From new stuff to reruns of original stuff back when black and white wasn’t a deterrent (I still blame Ted Turner’s obsession with colorizing old movies), there was a lot of superhero shows, while movies with superheroes continued to pop up. It was a great time to love superheroes. Also admittedly we don’t necessarily live in those times.
We do have more superhero stuff coming out, but a lot of it is being poorly received, and I do acknowledge why. Heck, the article I’m about to go up against from geek media site Bleeding Fool and writer A.H. Lloyd also acknowledges why at point…and then takes the scorched earth approach to the superhero genre, with the title “After 35 Marvel Movies & Six Batmans, The World Needs A Break“, except his solution is a break from the entire genre. I can’t help but disagree even when I agree with him. I wasn’t even going to make this a Vs article originally but It eventually felt like it fits the series, so here we go. Read the article so you know I’m not taking things out of context (or can yell at me if I am) and let’s dive into this discussion. Again.
