gwen stacy vs mary jane - BONGDATV

As per the original storyline of Spider-Man Gwen Stacy is the first serious love of Peter Parker (Betty Brant is the first relationship of him which never worked). Then why did Marvel/Columbia Pictures choose Mary Jane over her for the 2002 Spider-Man.

The difference between Mary Jane and Gwen Stacy lies in their characterizations, relationships with Spider-Man, and overall impact on his story. Gwen represents stability and a more traditional love interest, while Mary Jane brings excitement and passion to Spider-Man's life.

While Gwen Stacy and Peter Parker were similar to one another, Mary Jane is a different story entirely. She and Peter are two very different people with different interests. However, despite their differences, Peter and MJ complement each other perfectly.

While Peter was serious and introspective, Mary Jane was rock 'n' roll personified. She acted like life was a nonstop party, and she wanted Peter along for the ride. While the two had some dates, Peter's eyes were for Gwen Stacy. When Peter and Gwen became an official couple, Mary Jane stuck around as a supporting character.
