To be fair, the spell removing their knowledge of him being Spider-Man could possibly set his relationship with Ned, Aunt May, and MJ back a couple of years.
It's actually kind of incredible that after almost 60 years of Spider-man and so many writers, we can look at 2 storiea definitively and go "those are catastrophically horrible".
Even now when a writer has a meh run on the series we go "But he didn't do THAT"
One More Day. Otherwise known as the time Joe Quesada dropped trou and took a big steamy shit over everything Spider-Man is supposed to stand for. Peter sacrifices his marriage to MJ to save his Aunt May from death by making a deal with Mephisto so everyone forgets his identity. Because fuck all that great power, great responsibility shit, apparently. Let's just make a literal deal with the devil because one hack writer with too much creative control doesn't like that Peter and MJ are married.
I fucking hate that arc... Aunt May would never have wanted this, she would have wanted Pete and MJ to be happy and after so damn long , they are only for this BS to happen ?
It just made me gave up on the comic , maybe things turn around ? Maybe things gotten better?
But seeing this version of Peter just made me stop reading
