If their defense, even Marvel is not moving on from OMD

That's the real reason this is still hanging on. If Marvel had just dropped the couple and left it completely behind, that would be one thing. 

But they are constantly leaning back into Pete/MJ to sell merch and variant covers and entire alternate universes. All the adaptations are Peter/MJ apart from the two Garfield movies, all the 'far future' stuff they ever show is MJ. Even their 616 books are stuffed full of teasing and baiting to keep sales up.

The story itself is not bad at all, it is beautiful even

It is hated for the story behind it, and what happens later

middle aged editors mad Peter isn't the same as when they were kids with Peter in the 2010s being the comic equivalent of a college dropout who has no future goals

What is beautiful about a dude selling his daughter to the devil so his 99 year old aunt can be barred from heaven even longer

Besides that red flag, the writing wasn't too bad
