All of a sudden Marvelous does not want to be the replacement for this other person. Of all of the fic, this line is the most telling I think. That Joe has someone else here and that Marv doesn't want to be a replacement. He wants Joe to take him on his own terms, not because Joe is transferring his emotions to someone else.
It forces Joe to come to the realization that Marv is his own person, not Sid, and that things will be different. It's also Marv's way of helping him, in Marv's own way.
