After ''[[One More Day]]'', any retcon in the [[Spider-Man]] continuity other than the main ones (summed up in a two-page spread following that saga) was left unexplained, much to the fans' chagrin; Quesada's response to most fan questions came in the form of a [[Shrug of God]] or assertion that [[A Wizard Did It]].▼

▲Fast forward to summer 2010, where Quesada finally gave fans some answers throughout four issues of ASM, entitled ''One Moment In Time''.
Obviously, the announcement of answers - as well as a [[Ship Tease|chance to see Petey and MJ getting back together]] - coming was [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|met with rejoicing...]] [[Your Princess Is in Another Castle|initially]].
▲<!-- %%By the end of the first issue of the [[StealthPun OMIT]] story arc, the overall feeling of the storyline was, basically, [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor "You wanted answers?]] [[OhCrap Here ya go."]]. -->
<!-- %%It seems that Quesada was really annoyed by the (rather justifiable, anyway) numerous demands of explanation (Peter even says at one point, [[AuthorAvatar "can't we just go back to being cold and distant to each other?"]]) and, in the end, the result came off as one final "now I hope you shippers have had enough, 'cause I'm sick of your crap - [[ShipSinking enjoy the story of Peter and MJ's final kiss!]] [[FlippingTheBird *cue middle finger*]]", and, as such, it [[YourMileageMayVary arguably]] managed to be ''[[BeyondTheImpossible even more frustrating than One More Day itself]]''. -->▼
Unfortunately, the story mostly chose to resolve the problems with [[One More Day]] by simply retconning them away, leaving a sizeable number of fans [[Internet Backlash|less-than-satisfied.]]▼

{{tropelist|page=[[Fun with Acronyms|OMIT]]}}
* [[Author Tract]]: As Mary Jane's quotes demonstrates, OMIT illustrates Quesada's stance on why he felt marriage was a necessary aspect of the Spider-man mythos.
* [[Derailing Love Interests]]: Mary Jane, see the page quote.
* [[Ironic Echo]]: "He's always running off as Spidey when you least expect it". The look on Mary-Jane's face just ''screams'' [[Dude, Not Funny|"NOT FUNNY"]].
* [[Mythology Gag]]: {{spoiler|Spider seeing a criminal he didn't catch before coming back to hurt those dear to him}}. Now, we know [[Joe Quesada]] [[Author Appeal|wanted stories set during Spidey's High School era to appear in recent issues]], but this is ridiculous.
* [[Retcon]]: The Story actually retcons how the [[Deal
* [[Retraux]]: The past is drawn as similarly as possible to the original ''"The Wedding!"'' storyline. Given Quesada's OMD art got lazily re-used, this comes off as a nice change. Of course, it's weird when past-bride-to-be MJ [[Anachronism Stew|gets her cell phone]].
** And when Spidey references the "But I did just stay at a Holiday Inn" joke from the present-day's ad campaign... in a time set years before that campaign started.
