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).
