Earth-616 and The Amazing Spider-Man<\/a> are forever tainted by how egregious the \u201cOne More Day\u201d storyline is. Today, a lot of readers have lost faith in Spider-Man\u2019s ongoing series<\/a>, despite some runs since being interesting and meaningful, as the status quo it delivered has been prevalent for the last 18 years.<\/p>\n

Paper-shredding Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson-Parker\u2019s marriage<\/a>, The Amazing Spider-Man has never been the same. However, more than a decade later, a story beat was delivered that foretold a way that the status quo of \u201cOne More Day\u201d and \u201cBrand New Day\u201d could be reversed or fought, and this may now be the sole path to redemption for The Amazing Spider-Man and the web of lore that has spun out from it.<\/p>\n

Spider-Man (or His Kid) Must Beat the Devil, Literally<\/p>\n

Nick Spencer\u2019s Amazing Spider-Man run<\/a>\u2014The Amazing Spider-Man #74 (2018), specifically\u2014explicitly prophesies that Mephisto\u2019s defeat would come via Peter and MJ\u2019s daughter, Mayday, who becomes Spider-Girl. This remains one of the more fascinating story beats to be proposed in this era, particularly as it teases a war waged by Mephisto that is won only by somehow having Mayday there.<\/p>\n

Of course, a lot would need to transpire in the present era for this to be remotely possible, such as Peter and MJ\u2019s daughter reaching them via some sort of multiverse shenanigans, and no future solicitations seem to suggest that anything like it will occur by The Amazing Spider-Man #1000<\/a>. If Marvel ever wants to renew The Amazing Spider-Man and debut an agreeable status quo, though, this would be how it achieves that.<\/p>\n

One More Day Has Irreparably Ruined Spider-Man<\/p>\n

Sadly, even if Marvel did fulfill Mephisto\u2019s feared prophecy, it\u2019d probably be met with more disdain. Retconning this event so soon after it had struck would\u2019ve been a quick balm for readers, and it\u2019s fascinating that it hasn\u2019t been resolved or reversed in almost two decades, for instance, but surely Marvel could\u2019ve corrected it sooner, and preferably once The Amazing Spider-Man\u2019s readership<\/a> became vocally furious.<\/p>\n

Now, no editorial or creative team should ever be beholden to the opinions and plights that readers have at the cost of the status quo or storytelling potential. That said, it\u2019s plain to see how poor The Amazing Spider-Man\u2019s prestige as an ongoing comic book series has been since \u201cOne More Day\u201d and \u201cBrand New Day.\u201d<\/p>\n
