Marvel's Trouble with "Status Quo"?

[JKtheMac]

If that's the case then there shouldn't be continuity, that would solve everything.

We can have classic heroes with the classic status quo and amazing writers. They could write whatever they want and end it on their own terms and once they do another writer can write their version with the same classic status quo.

Well that is kind of what we have. Writers can indeed write what they want within a quite broad latitude, and in general the very next writer will tend to do their own thing with variable and often cursory nods to previous continuity. I don’t see why that’s a problem. It has been the same for decades.

It is notable however how few examples the OP uses before reaching for the Spider-Man marriage. The last thing we need is another thread about that.
