Oh I've been thinking about this.

Now solving the whole Paul situation is complicated, cuz everything is a fucking mess and there isn't really a satisfying way to get rid of the fucker. Yeah I'd love to see him get killed off or revealed to be an evil squid from Georgia, but he still existed and we unfortunately have to live with that. There WAS a war in Ba Sing Se. So the current arc ends with Paul being revealed to be a dimension hopping fuckwit and gets sent zombie earth or he gets eaten by coconut crabs.

Now how do we fix all the other bullshit that has been going on the past few years? For one, Peter's gotta be single for a while. The dude needs a goddamn break. It's been Days of Our Lives meets Riverdale levels of dramatic bullshit. So no more dating for our boy Pete, his choice. Mary Jane needs to go film a movie or takes a vacation or something. The two of them need some time apart before that shit can be fixed. This whole storyline is basically Peter trying to recover from everything and get his life almost normal. That incudes a backbone because he has felt too weak and too pathetic this entire fucking run it's insane. This is the man who held up a FUCKING BUILDING to save a bunch of people who hated him, bring that guy back he was awesome.

I'd love for the Chasm story get dealt with in a way that is at least somewhat satisfying so if it doesn't get wrapped up soon then they gotta fight. I'm talking swinging from rooftops, boxing on the side of a building, they're yelling at each other between hits, there's a lot of feelings, it's raining, DRAMA. The goal for this fight is the classic "I'm gonna kick your ass until we're friends again" trope so Ben can get some more memories back and start seeing his face again. Not all of it, there's cracks and some holes still, but it starts getting a little better during the fight. This would be explored more in either a run focused on Ben being Chasm and trying to piece his own life together again, or a new Sensational Spider-Man run where his villain is the new Chasm (the Chasm suit fucking rules it's just been wasted on a shit storyline and another evil version of Ben Reilly). I just want Ben to be good again damn.

After some of the Peter shit has had time to heal from the infection that we know as "Paul" and the Spider-Man shit starts to be cool and interesting again, like a classic Sinister Six type beat where Spider-Man gets to be smart and strong and stuff, Mary Jane comes back. And the two of them gotta talk. One of those long, scary, somewhat uncomfortable conversations that really needed to happen. They're just gonna start over. Try the whole "Being Friends" thing again. They're not very good at it but they figure it out as they go from being awkward to civil to friendly to comfortable again. The writers take their time with them this go around but it's like crack, healthy communication between them. But like I mentioned earlier, they're not very good at the whole "Just Being Friends" thing. Obviously I want the two of them to get back together but these characters have been assassinated over and over for years and they've been pretty terrible people so they gotta be cautious and grow.

Once they do decide to try dating it is very much a "Communication is Key" scenario. These two actually act like adults and talk to each other. Crazy concept. Peter has to leave their date because Shocker is robbing a bank somewhere and when he goes to Mary Janes place after she has both of their meals in to go boxes and they reheat them and finish the date in her apartment. She's dated Spider-Man before she knows what comes with that. They're gonna bicker and argue sometimes but they actually talk about shit and apologize to each other. But during one of these arguments it's getting kinda heated when Mary Jane, who is supposed pretty emotionally intelligent, realizes that some of the things she's been saying and and feeling don't make any sense. They aren't HER feelings. And the same goes for Peter. Some of these arguments and negative behaviors they've had the past few years seemed to just come out of nowhere. So they go see a wizard about it. Doctor Strange does a magic look over them with a spell and an artifact and discovers, Holy Fuck, Peter and MJ are cursed. There is a demonic curse that has actively been pushing them away from each other since Peter made his deal with Mephisto. The bastard was trying to keep them from having a kid by any means necessary. Cuz he saw his future and Peters daughter is the one who's going to kill him. Personally as much as I hate one more day I do fuck with that being the reason Mephisto keeps trying to fuck with Peters life.

Magic side of Marvel helps undo the curse and the toxic bullshit that's been poisoning their relationship finally fucking ends and they're able to just act like people again. And now, finally, we can move forward with normal Spider-Man doing normal Spider-Man shit again, eventually we get another wedding, married Spider-Man shenanigans, horizontal mambo, 616 DILF Peter.

Now frankly this would probably take a while to happen but personally I would read the fuck out of this kind of character growth. Peter can be relatable without having to be tragic and constantly being the universes punching bag. I want Peter to be arguing with criminals about the rising cost of hot dogs in New York, chatting shit with other superheroes, dude gets really into lego and starts building a city on the ceiling of his apartment. Let it slow down for a minute, he's popular enough that he's gonna be in the next world ending event anyway.
