i didn't realize till i saw ned's muscle memory respond to peter's handshake but the movie says that a strong bond can disrupt the spell. it didn't work with MJ because peter's fear of rejection isolated him long enough for her to stop loving him. it's a self fulfilling prophecy

i can’t stop thinking about the details where mj is afraid of heights but she was oddly calm the first time peter swung her because it was actually jean. she only freaked out on the way back home

just made a heartbreaking realization. i don't think peter cried in this movie. his eyes got misty but he never sobbed or had tears really fall. he just kinda closed himself inward and went catatonic instead of releasing… can he please have a good cry he deserves it.
you know what’s crazy is that Ned and MJ probably don’t even properly remember why they’re best friends in the first place when their personalities are complete opposites. Peter was the one that connected them together
