I have a few questions, as I'm not too familiar with Spidey's story and I haven't seen the most recent one.

When was the transition from Gwen Stacy to Mary Jane, in the comics? And also, how does the most recent one compare to the previous ones, as well as the MCU movies?

early 70s I believe after the famous ending to Gwen Stacy...Peter is single for awhile, but MJ bonds with him.

The Amazing Spider-Man was a much better film than the Rami Trilogy, IMO, because it substituted camp for a little more grit, without going over board. People say Spider-Man isn't dark, but if you have ever read the books, there is some really dark moments. I was a fan of Tobey's Spidey until I watched Andrew Garfield. The guy nails it and is more believable hero.

As compared to the MCU movies-hard to say, TAS gave a distinct NYC feel, and other than The Avengers, no MCU movies give off that feel. I'd rank it above Cap and Thor, honestly.

Ron's right. It was around '75 I think.
