michaelcosby@pumpkinchowcorg I actually read Reign for the first time yesterday and thought of a way MJ's death could've been handled better while tying it to Peter's dementia. MJ died of cancer but it had nothing to do with what she was doing with Peter. Just ol' regular, terrible cancer. Peter, in his old age, has misremembered this and blames himself until the revelation comes later in the comic that his original guilt lies solely in not being with MJ in her final moments. I've got a whole post of "fixes" for Reign that I'll put on Reddit eventually.
michaelcosby@pumpkinchowcorg Not sure how I'd change MJ's death for a movie adaptation, though. Maybe throw infertility guilt in there and keep MJ getting cancer in a realistic/not ridiculous way has but axe the whole Peter misremembering due to dementia since he'd be in his 40s here.
