- Why is it racist to want MJ to be a white redhead? You know like she is
|
I'm not even white but I don't need other minority characters that are supposed to be different in the original source material
Don't pander to me, just stay true to the source. What would the outrage be if they made a Blade movie and Blade was a white dude?

might made more sense to have mj a white redhead but make a new latina character who steals spiderman's eye I would have been perfectly fine with an original character love interest of any race. Just... Don't change established ones.

Oh look, it's this topic again

Yeah... I feel like the red hair is more important than the skin color.
But as has been said, this "MJ" is named Michelle, not Mary Jane, so meh. Well, even if she was officially Mary Jane, I don't care enough to get riled up about it, but still I like characters to be the characters they are supposed to be. Regardless of looks, her personality was WAY off from Mary Jane.

From the depths, the thing they called Worm King did rise.
Nirn itself did scream in the Mages' and Necromancers' war. |

Not racist at all. I'm black and I hate when they turn random characters black just to be "inclusive". Just make new black characters
That said. This is not Mary Jay. It's a new character, like pretty much all of them in the movie. It's a different universe, so it's cool. |

She can dye her hair red like the other actresses if it so important tbh. I don't feel it is, but it is possible.

Just make new black characters But when they make new characters then people go, "why did they make this new character? Where is so and so from the comics." Of course what homecoming did was worse as it made new characters and called them comic book characters.

I don't understand why people get upset over things like this, but never bat an eye when it comes to movies like The Great Wall, or Gods of Egypt
Like, who gives a s***. Isn't the MCU a completely different universe than the comics anyway? |

They never said she was Mary Jay Watson. Just MJ. Because you aren't a fan of Spider-Man. I'm pretty tired of people without vested interests trying to dictate what is or isn't acceptable in things like the Marvel universe. Some people need to keep their mouths shut.

Spider-Man is literally my favorite superhero, and has been since I was a little kid And even I agree with his post No one gives a s*** if they change the color of someone's skin in a movie that's set in a completely different universe anyway |

If we can switch up Adrian Tombs' backstory as the Vulture and reinterpret a couple other members of the will be Sinister Six, we can certainly reinterpret MJ. And this character's name isn't even the same. Like how is this even applicable?

It's her backwards personality. I'm holding out hope that they do a 180 and have a modeling agency discover her in HS, but trying to discredit the opinions of the people most familiar with the source material by calling them comic nerds makes you look absolutely stupid.

It really doesn't make me look stupid No, it does. Wanting your favorite series to stay somewhat true to the source material isn't racist and it isn't weird that it matters to the fans. I distinctly remember you throwing a b**** fit over Scarlett Jo in Ghost In The Shell, so this is especially humorous for me.

Deadpool_18 posted...Samurontai posted...It really doesn't make me look stupid Well now that it's convenient for you to take that stance, of course you're going to claim the opposite. It's not stupid. At all. I loved the movie, but Flash's casting is a mistake and Zendaya doesn't display any traits of the iconic MJ. A simple name switch would have gone a long, long way.

Don't be dense. I'm not. The argument of "It's not the same name" while having the exact initials of the intended character is simply irrelevant. I loved the movie, but you guys acting like it was without its flaws are just laughable. Tom Holland was perfect in every way, but the supporting cast needs work.

Zendaya doesn't display any traits of the iconic MJ I disagree. I can certainly see shades of some of Mary Jane's more glib moments in Zendaya's MJ. I want to see their banter in the next movie once she's less of a supporting cast member and more center stage. And that's assuming they don't throw us a curveball and introduce Gwen.

Okay Aunt May didn't have enough to do here, but they've fixed that. Even the Prowler got it some really good moments, and he's just an easter egg.

It's not present in her characterization thus far. She also doesn't have Aunt Anna acting as her harbinger, and needling Aunt May and Peter about taking her daughter out on a blind date. Beyond their conversation dynamic, I don't ever see Michelle moving any closer to Mary Jane from the comics.

Who needed work? Flash, particularly. Flash isn't a rival. He's a bully. They got a few things right, but he needed to be meaner. Samurontai posted... It's just such a dumb thing to get upset about Your first mistake was assuming I was outraged by it. I'm not. I'm hopeful. I just know it could have been a lot better had they either introduced Zendaya as her own, new, independent character rather than tacking on the iconic initials that greatly imply fairly important details in the universe.

Deadpool_18 posted...hollow_shrine posted...Who needed work? Fingers crossed, bruh. Even if they develop her further into someone that simply motivates Peter between right and wrong and makes his choices clearer, I'll take her as MJ. If she even utters the words "Go get em, Tiger." I'll take her. I just NEED some resemblances, lol.

The MCU isn't the main 616 universe it's the 19999 universe. It's supposed to be different.
