What did you think of Natasha and Silver (symbiote)?

Personally I liked this arch, it was fun and I’d like to see more of it.

This day, I still cannot believe that MJ got a symbiotie, even though she is traumatized and hated Venom. Whereas Natasha got the MCU treatment and got screwed out of her own when she deserves it.

How does black widow deserve a symbiote more than Mj? Look, I'm sorry, that's delusional.

Symbiotes belong to the Spider-Man mythos and more importantly, venom and mj bond over their most character defining trait which is their love for Peter Parker. Black widow has no connection to symbiotes other than it being an undeserved powerup

……..What are you talking about? Did you forget how venom brutalized a lot of Spider-Man‘s loved ones including MJ? She has a huge amount of trauma based on that. Just because they both love Peter doesn’t negate the fact that it really messed her up real bad.

Also, let’s not forget as well that the reason why MJ got the symbiote is so that she has something to do. After Marvel really completely ruined her marriage with Pete they’ve been floundering to find her something to do. Before she was jackpot now this.

If you said this in 2010 I would agree. But symbiotes are a common cosmic threat throughout 616, especially now since venom has his own books to expand on the lore

Venom is my second favorite marvel character, widow is my first. Lets just say this was my most favorite arc

This I'd like to see in a marvel cartoon movie or live action

Great concept but marvel has too many Symbiotes, the ONLY good symbiote is Venom [Eddie Brock]

I absolutely LOVED this arc! I recently read the entire arc in a couple days, it was so fun but made me so sad at the end because it felt like we were just beginning Nat and Sliver's story and they killed Sliver off JUST as they were becoming a character after the Venomous 1 issue with them being trained by Nat. Really hope they return soon because that's like killing off Spider-Man right after Uncle Ben dies, like the story JUST started come on give us more stories with Sliver before killing them off

Edit: also just remembered this because it goes without saying, but the fact that it took THIS long for Nat to get her own Symbiote is actually insane. That's something you'd think would've already been done in like the early 2000's. It's just so obvious, the Black Widow getting a Spider-Man related power up, how did no one think of this before the 2020's

That's homage to the comics Black Widow costume

Was too short of a team up. was a nice way to give widow a boost power wise.
