Mary Jane began as not just the girl next door, but also the hot girl dated by the hot, football player guy, who is a jerk, but whom all the girls wanted to be with anyway. She became her own person in the first movie, seeking a dramatic acting job. In the sequel, she became the successful actress, overcoming her past, and the girl who admits that she's in love with the person who was the geek, and who became more than she knew he could be or was, more than what he himself knew he could be. When she stands in Peter's door at the send of S 2, she tells him, "I've always been standing in your door." This is a great admission. She loved him for who he was when he was a geek, when he was nobody.
In S 3, the stakes get huge. She and Peter are about to get married, and unlike the other two movies, she doesn't learn how great he can be or love him in spite of his humble condition, she learns just how low he can go. Here is where the real test of her love occurs. Can she love him when he has become the jerk in high school she dated but decided against?
