 Quesada sees Peter 's making a " deal with the Devil " as a villain ( Mephisto ) taking advantage of someone at his weakest moment . This , he feels , is a better resolution than Peter and Mary Jane getting divorced , which would indicate " they gave up on their love , that their life in love together was so awful , so stressful , so unfulfilling that they had to raise a red flag and walk away from it . They quit on their marriage and even more tragic , ( they ) quit on each other . Instead , we had them make a deal with the devil . ' Cause that isn 't as bad . " Quesada went on to say , " Peter and MJ didn 't quit on their love , they sacrificed it to save a life , that to me is a pretty heroic story . "
