>>94329255She acted nothing like Mary Jane Watson. But of course you'd only know that if you bothered to read a Spider-Man comic.
>Mary Jane WatsonA young girl who grew up in an abusive household; spent her younger days partying her troubles away and later settled down with Peter and became a world-famous super model
>Michelle JonesA young girl who acts vulgar and feels the need to break the awkward tension she causes by telling jokes that usually aren't considered funny
For all the common sense in the world, the writers could have just called her "Michelle Jones" and have been done with it. Peter's been with hundreds of different chicks throughout the years in comics, so making a terrible OC wouldn't have exactly been out of place for a Spider-Man story. But of course they had to go and "tease" the possibility that she could be the MCU's Mary Jane as they felt that it would somehow generate hype for racebending a well-known character, but they also stuck with "Michelle" just in case critics and fans alike were more likely to call them fucking retards, so the backpeddling would be easier to do.
Hell, the girl who played Liz actually qualifies being a potentially better candidate as Mary Jane Watson than Dunst after the first Raimi movie. Unlike Zarniya or whatever that cunt's name is, she's a talented actress that whose potential was stunted by a ham-fisted script.
Her being a different race has no bearing on the story at all. In fact; it's generally been proven that it's more or less the same result if they make someone black or white from the rare examples we've gotten over the years:
>Kingpin from the Daredevil TV show and Movie10/10 actors that understand Wilson Fisk's demenor and drive most of the story with their stellar acting
>Catwoman from both her self-titled movie and The Dark Knight RisesFucking trash actresses who tried copying Michelle Phifer's loose derivative while offering nothing unique about their personalities
Kindly eat shit and die
