Re: Petes with Gwen?
It wasn't just the fact that Pete and MJ split that bothered people--it was the fact that it was a blatant editorial mandate on Joey Q's part, the fact that they made a deal with the devil of the Marvel universe, and that a large chunk of Spider-Man continuity had been retconned in the process. And the criticisms of BND aren't exclusive to Peter playing Faust--the characterization of Peter in the subsequent issues, as well as the poor quality of the stories themselves have all been targets.
As I've said NUMEROUS times, even if the marriage was restored, I probably wouldn't pick up the series because the quality has been mediocre at best. You seem to be under the impression that our only problem is Joey Q's erasing of the marriage, but IMO that's just the tip of the iceberg.
And I still don't think the BND comparisions are valid, considering that Pete has already broken up with MJ twice in the title and dated another girl the second time. That, and the two were never married, continuity wasn't erased/altered, it wasn't the result of a hamfisted editorial mandate, etc, etc, etc...
