>>110988640Stan Lee tried to make her a better character for Peter than MJ. He said so himself. The problem with him doing that, he found, was that every time she tried to make her more interesting, he unconsciously made her like MJ.
Classic MJ was a party girl and adrenaline junkie from the 1960’s to 70’s. She was fun to write, according to Stan, and she came alive in a way Stan couldn’t capture since.
Problem is, that MJ doesn’t exist anymore. Zendeya, Dunst, Ultimate Spider-Man MJ and so foward? Not even close to the same MJ. For fucks sake, PS4 MJ is basically Diet Lois Lane.
That’s why I prefer Black Cat these days. She’s got the fire and excitement that seems to be lost with a lot of these new Love Interests.
