I’m still amazed that it’s been literally ten years since the story where Spider-Man made a deal with the devil that dramatically altered not only his life but that of the entire Marvel universe and that was just   like    never followed up on   ever      like how do you do that

Iron Man has had multiple stories in a row meant to fix the ones that came before and completely derailed his character, Carol Danvers had a story back when she was barely a B-lister that attempted to undo the damage from the Marcus storyline, Captain America is currently in the process of trying to repair the PR disaster that was Secret Empire, and the X-Men have been subject to so many retcons it’s basically historical revisionism at this point, but Spider-Man, Marvel’s single most profitable and successful franchise of all time, still hasn’t even tried to touch One More Day, the most unanimously-accepted low point in his history, and he and MJ are still broken up because they sold their marriage to the devil

I’d like at least one writer to acknowledge (if they haven’t already) just how weird it is that Mephisto wanted their MARRIAGE. Like…that’s not a thing devil figures normally ask for.

There was a Deadpool comic where he offhandedly mentioned to a confused post-OMD Spider-Man “At least I didn’t need to make a deal with the devil to get a decent supporting cast.”
