* BrokenBase: There are many debates over the quality of the work within, though mostly they tend to come down to whether the story is better or ''worse'' than ''One More Day'', i.e if its second-worst or the worst. For what it's worth, the latter story tends to come out on top as the worse of the two, but a large part of that may be because this story was supposed to be the AuthorsSavingThrow rather than what caused the need for one.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: While "The Wedding" (ASM Annual #21) is a classic, it has a reputation for being a little rushed (because it was) and ghost written by EIC Creator/JimShooter over writer David Michelinie's objections (whose original plan was for it to be a little longer to tie-in all the continuity gaps to make it flow better) and for not being as emotionally uplifting as it should be. But after seeing Quesada's vandalisation of the issue with his even more incoherent story and even lamer artwork (which the original art spliced into his story merely highlights), many agree that it's a masterpiece by comparison.

* SalvagedStory: It seems like Quesada attempted to give a "saving throw" to OMD and finally answer all the fans' unanswered questions about the story. Results definitely weren't satisfactory mostly because he wrote a bad story that defiled a bunch of better ones (including the ASM Annual #21 that had the couple getting married, whose rewrite in OMIT came off as incredibly petty and mean spirited).

Audience Alienating Premise requires objective proof that the work failed to do well and attract an audience for it to qualify.


* AudienceAlienatingPremise: So MJ gives us the Aesop that marriage is just a piece of paper and that you shouldn't have kids outside of wedlock. How Marvel did not see this as offensive to BOTH people who believe in marriage as some kind of sacred institution AND people who have kids outside of marriage or were from such a family is beyond anyone! More importantly why did Peter let this slide given that Ben and May Parker were a childless couple who were devoted to each other before they took in Peter.

* {{Narm}}: The grand reason why Peter Parker missed his wedding according to Quesada in OMIT, well it turns out that some random guy managed to strike Spider-Man with a brick (with his Spider-Sense hitting him late), leading to a series of pratfalls that ends with Peter knocked out with the guy stacking up on him and sleeping through several days while Mary Jane got stood at the altar. Yeah, the grand Mephisto twist-of-fate by which history diverged is a power nerfing (on the [[ComicBook/IdentityCrisis Deathstroke v. Justice League]] scale), incoherent, utterly snide lame joke.

* ValuesDissonance: Because marriage isn't for love, it's for children, and having children outside of marriage is BAD. Never mind that more people these days are choosing to have children out of wedlock.

* AngstWhatAngst: Quesada's editorial claim that "Everything happened except the marriage" part only to show in OMIT that MJ got stood up at the altar with Peter's family and friends and only for them to follow on and go back to a long relationship doesn't make any sense to anyone who read the Annual. Aunt May eased Peter's jitters by insisting that he man up and claim the Parker gumption, Flash Thompson gave him a major pep talk to marry her, and more importantly Mary Jane would have been thoroughly humiliated by that experience (as would anyone). It's unbelievable that Peter wouldn't face fallout for that action, from Aunt May (who has wanted all her life for Peter to settle down and especially with MJ), and likewise for Mary Jane to go back and settle in a live-in relationship is hard to accept as well.

As bad as OMD is, there it was Mephisto screwing them over.
