I got the impression Quesada pretty much wrote the whole thing, and JMS just provided dialog. He then quit. Off topic, but on post: JMS wanted Peter to be the father of Gwen's children but Marvel didn't want the 'character growth' so they had the deceased character 'grow' by bedding Norman!

You 'grow', Goblin! I'm not sure that wouldn't still have been a trainwreck. But somewhat back on topic, having a major, active superhero learn that a past relationship resulted in him fathering unexpected children would (potentially) be a nuanced storyline that addresses real-world issues of sexuality, paternity, parenthood, and even the idea of what it means to be a "family". That's surprisingly on-point for some of Spiderman's better arcs, not that I have much faith we would have ever gotten anything like that. Instead we got Goblin Babies, raising some serious consent questions (among other issues). And the Green Goblin O-face panel, which no one needed, ever Yeesh. That's sort of a parallel to what goes wrong with 90% of the non-heterosexual characters in comics. Sexuality is a serious topic; that doesn't mean it's unsuited to the comic medium, but it certainly is unsuited to industry executives who seem more willing to play coming-out stories as the Previews capsule teaser of the month than as a mature component of a well-written character. grendelbo, kav and D84 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coverless 9.8 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) I always thought Sue Richards having an affair with Namor, possibly resulting in pregnancy, would've been a good one.

It’s cool to know there’s more to it but I haven’t read anything from Infinite Frontier so I wouldn’t have known that. My overall point is since Robin (Tim Drake) is now bisexual, I just hope it’s done in a way where it appeals to those apart of the LGBTQ community and they have something that’s relatable and well written, all while being a good read for those who enjoy comic books.
