  • Description from Wikipedia
    Spider-Man is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer-editor Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko, he first appeared in the anthology comic book Amazing Fantasy #15 (July 31st 1962) in the Silver Age of Comic Books. He has been featured in comic books, television shows, films, video games, novels, and plays.
    Spider-Man's secret identity is Peter Benjamin Parker. Initially, Peter was depicted as a teenage high-school student and an orphan raised by his Aunt May and Uncle Ben in New York City after his parents Richard and Mary Parker died in a plane crash. Lee and Ditko had the character deal with the struggles of adolescence and financial issues and gave him many supporting characters, such as Flash Thompson, J. Jonah Jameson, and Harry Osborn; romantic interests Gwen Stacy, Mary Jane Watson, and the Black Cat; and enemies such as the Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, and Venom. In his origin story, Spider-Man gets his superhuman spider-powers and abilities after being bitten by a radioactive spider. These powers include superhuman strength, agility, reflexes, stamina, durability, coordination, and balance; clinging to surfaces and ceilings like a spider; and detecting danger with his precognition ability called "spider-sense". He builds wrist-mounted "web-shooter" devices that shoot artificial spider-webs of his own design, which he uses both for fighting and for web-swinging across the city. Peter Parker originally used his powers for his own personal gain, but after his Uncle Ben was killed by a thief that Peter could not stop, he began to use his powers to fight crime by becoming Spider-Man.

      It perfectly encapsulates the two’s difference if you couldn’t tell already.
      Peter is the one who tried to keep order and be better and make others better he’s gotten hit so many times it’s an act of god he manages to get back up.
      And Paul? There’s he hasn’t got anything on Peter sure he created that thing for MJ but he doesn’t know shit on the things Peter has been through it’s like saying an average US civilian had the same childhood as the Average child of Sparta the simple answer is there’s no way on Earth you can compare the two and I’m utterly confused as to how MJ compares Paul the Peter Parker.

      I absolutely hate conflict that feels unnecessary, stuff like love triangles, misunderstandings, and characters who’s entire existence is just so the main character and love interest can't be together. Every time I see these tropes, it always fails because of lazy writing or every character ends up worse afterwards.

    This issue just proves that Wells Hates Peter Parker and is going out of his way to make his life miserable even if it doesn't make any sense in his own damn book! MJ and Paul have no chemistry and their whole relationship comes off as Stockholm Syndrome, but Peter comes off as the bad guy simple because Wells want it to happen but forgot to set it up properly so really all he's doing is ruining his own credibility and making everyone hate MJ.

      And some people actually call Peter an "incel" for being angry at Paul and "Jackpot MJ", it's not being an incel, if anything.. it was all done without Spidey's consent, literally being pushed through a portal, confronting annoying hero allies, coming back too late to discover she cheated on him with Paul and had kids with him, and dares to even say that it's all her choice and bla bla bla even though Paul started the whole mess.

    Mary Jane used to worry about Peter/Spider-Man and listen to his concerns and opinions because he is undeniably one of the smartest characters in marvel, and easily one of the smartest she knows. Mary Jane flat out not caring about how Peter feels then trying to act like it’s not her fault when she KNEW he loved her and would come to save her?
    We need a comic of Peter just cutting Mary Jane out of his life. But I doubt the writers would make her try to reflect on why.

    In my opinion, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. did a better "Longtime love interest to a main character gets with another character while separated from the main character they still have feelings for" plotline. When Simmons and Will got trapped in a pocket dimension (I think) together, she survived with and eventually fell in love with him but he ended up dying.
    For context: Much like multiple versions of Peter & MJ, the scientist duo Fitz/Simmons had been close friends & colleagues for years. When Fitz realized he loved her but she didn't feel the same (yet), he couldn't work with her anymore and almost left the team. They reconicled after a while, but it was tough for Fitz to swallow the feelings he still had.
    It hurt him to be around her but not truly be with her. Nonetheless, he stayed because they were both very important members of their team and he didn't want to lose the closest friend he'd ever had (I've been there, very relatable). Over time, Simmons started to have a change of heart but was slow to act on it because she was similarly afraid.
    Then, when it looked like they might have a chance at a romance, something always seemed to keep them apart. After years of her not reicprocating his feelings and then finally warming up to it, after Fitz risked his life to get her back to Earth, learning about the whole Will relationship was the biggest emotional nut punch. It was like he'd lost her all over again.
    Only this time, it was worse because she was right in front of him. The most infuriating part was, Fitz couldn't even hate Will. Not only was he the reason Simmons lived long enough to make it back home. He was a sincerely good person (as Fitz found out after researching him) who "did everything right". Fitz couldn't disrespect a dead man's memory.
    Simmons counters, "And you flew through a hole in the universe for me", unable to deny that she reciprocates Fitz's love, and they kiss for the first time (if I recall correctly). But Fitz feels so defeated and knows Simmons still holds Will in her heart. He comes to believe the two of them are "cursed", that the universe is against them and it's better for everyone if they just stop fighting it. This went on for some years, and Fitz tragically died during a story arc in an alternate future.
    After the team gets him back through some time travel shenanigans (I'm pretty sure it was the same Fitz), Simmons gradually let Will go, having learned after Fitz's shortlived absence that she loved him more. Toward the series' finale, they officially became a couple despite having an episode of being locked in some kind of mind trap where they each faced their worst fears & insecurities. It was the ultimate test of their relationship where they saw into each other's minds.
    This included learning intimate details about one another, some of which were uncomfortable. After some struggles with trust, rekindled doubts about their romance, and arguing over what to do, their mutual love allowed them to conquer their prison and escape. They were pretty consistently good after that and had a child together in the last season. Overall, while their arc was convoluted and dragged out, I think it was miles better than Marvel's handling of Spider-Man, MJ, and Paul.

      Him being a skrull could result in MJ just being mind-controlled. And not being a promiscous TWA......
      Him being the final villain that actually destroyed the reality and is just torturing Spider-man in a fake one because Spider-Man still has Uni-force and can't truly die would make it a great ending to 616 Spidey with a possible reboot.

THAT would get people to care. Everything is just a Mephisto driven illusion that tries to gaslight Peter and MJ into not liking each other, and THEN have them figure it out and they overcome it together. There you go. That's how you fix Spider-Man. Now we have to detour to yet ANOTHER universe where they are married with kids just to actually care. MC2, Renew Your Vows, Life Story, and the new Ultimate Spider-Man series understood Peter and MJ more than the main continuity. It's just sad.
