“Until editorial mandate, do you part…”
In this episode, we are going to be doing something very different. In a typical episode of Amazing Spider-Talk we would find a topic and feature a light discussion between Dan and Mark, but that’s not what we are going to be doing here.
No, this time, we will be doing a debate about a topic that has been the center of debate since 1987: the Spider-Marriage between Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson. We covered the story of their relationship and marriage in some detail last season and in our “Wedding Special” episode from Valentine’s Day 2017, joined by our wives to discuss the event, so we wanted to do something different.
Joining us for this debate, we wanted a Marriage-Truther to push back against our decidedly lukewarm takes about the Spider-Marriage in the form of a debate. We didn’t want to invite on a dime-a-dozen troll from social media to get into a loud argument with us, but someone who could articulately argue for the marriage and how it is essential to the story of Spider-Man. So, we decided that the best person to do so is our friend, who you may remember from our Race in Spider-Man episode, none other than the co-host of the “Questions: We Don’t Have Answers” podcast, Donovan Morgan Grant!
