Mary Jane Watson-Parker falls prey to the lure of . . . SMOKING! Not that smoking is good for you, of course, but they ramped up the high melodrama with this subplot for a year and tried to tie it into some half-baked psychological evaluation of Mary Jane as being self-destructive. I think they thought it was the equivalent of the famous "alcoholic Tony Stark" story-line, but trust me--it wasn't.

I STILL have those issues. I was only 12 or 11 I think and even then I could tell it was a really lame subplot. Those post-marriage pre-Clone Saga stories were really pushing it when it came to trying to wring some narrative value out of Mary Jane. I mean seriously, they dug out Katzenberg, a character who hadn’t appeared in the pages of ASM since the 70s, just to give MJ some kind of ‘revelation’ as a poor substitute for character development.
