Is it possible sometimes the fan outrage is reasonable and should result in editorial corrections? I feel like 100% of the fan outrage about Magneto and the twins is justified. It's like Gwen having the babies with Norman Osborn, *nobody* liked that storyline, it betrayed their fondest memories of Gwen.

All fan outraged is justified to the fan in question, sure.

But it’s a very rare thing that any fan outrage leads to us changing direction in the way you’re talking about, not in the short-term anyway.

We tell stories. We have confidence in the skills of our creators and editors in being able to craft those stories such that people like them. And we’re not a Democracy, not a choose-your-own-adventure experience.

And yeah, that means that we’re sometimes going to do stories that some people aren’t going to like, but that’s true of every storyteller in every medium. Can’t let that paralyze you, can’t let it hold you back.
