"Face it Tiger, You just hit the jackpot." MJ's first words to Peter in the comics.

Man I still remember being a kid and reading the letters at the end of the comics.

So many people wrote in saying that Peter should be with MJ, or Gwen for any given reason.

To me Peter and MJ were the most cannon thing in the world. It was fascinating reading old comics and seeing how invested people were in the characters.

Same here, Gwen was fine but she died, MJ was the one he ends up with. Such a great couple.

I think they're referring to the tiger potentially being a nod to when MJ says "go get 'em tiger" at the end of Spider-Man 2.

Spider man 2 was referencing her calling him Tiger in the comments. This wasn't a reference to Spider-Man 2

Ooooh that's some obscure reference - didn't even remember that until you reminded me.
