Apples and Oranges


Apples and oranges. That's something I like to say to people when they start comparing two things that have no right to be compared. "Apples and oranges, dude. Apples and oranges."

And if there were three words I could say to Marc Guggenheim, it would be, "apples and oranges."

What could he have said that would make me respond in this way?

"Here's my attitude, if anyone is upset about the marriage going away, then they must all be pro gay marriage," he continued. Because if you're pro gay marriage, you understand the distinction between a marriage and a civil union -- that a civil union is not equal to a marriage. We downgraded Mary Jane and Peter to a civil union. If that bothers you, then you're pro gay marriage."

I don't think Guggenheim could have come more out of left field if he had tried. Is this a slam against gay marriage? Is this supposed to scare homophobic comic dorks?

You can read the whole article over at Comicon, but for now count me confused.

Is this what Marvel is resorting to?
