>>109008683The original run is Capeshit.
Just in the Romita era, the characters where written in a way that signalled that they all had lives outside Peter.
Like in the equivalent to this scene
>>109005444 >>109005460 Gwen & MJ come together as a duo to cheer Peter up and when they couldn't, left to hangout alongside Harry.
It just gave the impression that these where a bunch of friends in a way that fleshed out the world.
The same goes to the Daily Bugle cast and I think is why Peter has such a memorable sidecast.
Blue is great in a lot of ways but it doesn't really feel like they like each other, even with that bit from MJ at the end.
