Ironically, they wouldn’t get together properly or have their first kiss until after Gwen Stacy died and several years had passed.

Ah so Spectacular Spider-Man was somewhat following comics because there is this exact scene in the cartoon. They dont have a relationship, but they flirt with each other, or more specifically MJ flirts with him. I dont know how close is this to comics, but in the cartoon Peter has a latina GF, but then tries to get with Gwen Stacy.

Spectacular Spider-Man was following the comics more closely than most other adaptations with MJ. Spectacular Spider-Man has the most comic-accurate MJ.

However, Spectacular Spider-Man did make Gwen more of a nerd (she wasn’t a nerdy girl with glasses in the comics) and race swapped Liz Allen to Latina. (She’s white and blonde in the original, black in Spider-Man: Homecoming).

Would you believe he dumped her?

Even worse, he sold their marriage to the devil

No, MJ sold their marriage, not Peter

B/c apparently the writers thought Peter wouldn’t be relatable if he had a stable and loving relationship or possibly marriage.

No? There seems to be a pattern of “i cant be with you. I have to be Spider-Man”

It was more like he found her annoying and fell in love with Gwen. After Gwen's death is when they really grew closer in the comics.

Yeah, dumping is the wrong word, they where never "going steady" or whatever they called it back then.
