Edit: Wooooooooooo top of the page. Um

Yeah I think the movie will probably be pretty good. Lets wait and see.

I...I don't...have the words....fhfssfdhkhskd

 

[Not]

GTFO with your political banter, this is a movie ffs.

Go eat a sandwich.

What kind of sandwich was it?

Oh, I don't agree with that.

Spoiler

"Politics" is everything.

 

[Obliterator]

This girl is really pretty, to say the least.

I wasn't familiar with her before reading this but yeah, she's beautiful. Should make a good MJ though I'm not familiar with her acting skills at all

 

[Mesoian]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUND IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTT!!!!

 

[Einchy]

Guys next you'll be blowing a gasket because neither Bruce Wayne or Clark Kent have jet-black hair in any of their movies

People would be annoyed if they made either Batman or Superman blonde. MJ being a redhead is the main visual characteristic she has always had.

 

[Salty Rice]

Maybe we are lucky and they switch it also up that Mary Jane is the one that snaps her neck while Gwen Stacy is the big love.

it doesn't matter. It won't matter. (not that her dying her hair red at some point is out of the realm of possibility)

 

[Nokagi]

Well she can't be no worse than Kirsten Dunst. Least I don't think so... right? I mean she can't be, can she? Guys?

 

[Dusk Soldier]

Eh, I'm sure she'll do great. Her hair matters so little for her character. The weirdest part is that they seem to be skipping Gwen and jumping straight to MJ? But like... I don't care. If I wanted the same spiderman story over and over, I'd never read any reboots.

He dated Mary Jane first.

uhhhhhhh

ummmmmmm

hmmm

um

hoooo

well

 

[Angel_DvA]

WHOOOOT!

Guys, just let Peter love MJ, alright? It's all good


I dunno man. It might crush Peter's self esteem.

She can sing too ? hope she can act, I didn't know who she was before entering this thread, some thoughts about her acting ?

Nice reflexes!

 

[broncobuster]

Yep, that's her, you nailed it.

I double checked. You're a liar. You're totally that guy.

 

[BronsonLee]

I hereby demand that I be cast as Spider-Man.

 

[Alpha Centauri]

Who gives a shit about red hair honestly

Imagine if they had cast a natural redhead for once (shivers)

All 12 of them? The most famous redhead (Christina Hendricks) isn't even a natural redhead.

Maybe that's when she dyes her hair!

 

[Jonbo298]

Cool as hell but people on the internet are going to get fucking racist about this. I can see it now.

Don't worry. Journalists Bloggers are getting the clicks ready.

[Exploratory]

You just photoshopped her hair right?

 

[Order]

Maybe we are lucky and they switch it also up that Mary Jane is the one that snaps her neck while Gwen Stacy is the big love.

...really?

IF REDHEADS AND WHITE PEOPLE WITH BLACK HAIR ARE SO RARE WHY ARE THERE SO MANY OF THEM IN COMICS

CHECKMATE

Why would that be lucky? You can't even judge her performance yet.

How is that even possible? Wouldn't they be saying her name during the movie? Or is she just a small part in the film?

So we don't know her name the whole movie? lol

You can be Eddie Brock.

I do wonder what's worse of the fandom:

An actor/actress that looks like the source material completely, but gets the character wrong. (Raimi's Gwen Stacy was an utter waste for such an important character in Spider-Man lore, for example.)
An actor/actress that doesn't look like the source material, but nails the character. (

This in not precluding getting both right. This is wondering which is worse on a personal.

It's interesting, because we have a long history of characters that don't have the look or the temperament of their comic counterparts, that people have largely been fine with. As an example, either Flash, television or film. Neither is Barry Allen really, in look or character.

 

[BronsonLee]

They're just gonna call her by her nickname, Pot

 

[broncobuster]

Two ways I see it, she's a girl Peter has a crush on and he doesn't ask her name til the end, when we learn her name. Or she goes by Jane Blake most of the film.

 

[Not]

Maybe we are lucky and they switch it also up that Mary Jane is the one that snaps her neck while Gwen Stacy is the big love.

That moment when Gwen Stacy is Kenyan

 

[Sibersk Esto]

How is that even possible? Wouldn't they be saying her name during the movie? Or is she just a small part in the film?

Nameless side charcter throughout the bulk of the movie while Aunt May is trying to set-up Peter and Mary Jane.

She is revealed to be Mary Jane at the end (just my thoughts).

 

[Alpha Centauri]

I spit out my water.

LMAO

 

[Yeezus H. Christ]

My guess is Pete is too shy to ask her name or some shit during the film and she looks fairly average appearance-wise for most of it.

Until the homecoming dance where she steps out with red hair and looking like a supermodel, and she introduces herself as MJ.

I'm also having a hunch that Pete spends most of the film crushing on LIz Allan, who rejects most of his advances, and at the Homecoming dance he has no one to go with, but MJ shows up and is his partner.

 

[Parallax]

So we don't know her name the whole movie? lol

Maybe it's a situation where we only see her from afar as Pete takes long lovelorn looks at her from time to time.

 

[CloudyTuba]

I understand the whole age thing
But Sony already screwed up MJ by dying her hair blonde and calling her Gwen Stacey.

(Seriously if Sony continued the spider-man franchise I was really hoping that they would just hire Emma Stone back to he MJ as well)

Huh?

 

[Einchy]

The post credit scene is her removing her wig and you find out she actually has a full set of red hair.

 

[Obliterator]

Ah yeah that would work. I guess I was just assuming her role would be a bigger part of the film. But maybe she's more of a side character in it.

How would that have worked? They call her by a nickname until the end of the movie? Kinda like Levitt in TDKR.

 

[Ahasverus]

Wait I just discovered Peter did meet MJ before Gwen but didn't start to date until her death. Welp. In my defense, I was reading forgotten 30 years old comics from my uncle's basement so the chronology had to be off.

 

[BronsonLee]

You can be Eddie Brock.

My vocabulary is...venomous

 

[Nesotenso]

The Flash casting in this movie is the most perplexing one.

haha, one can only hope.

Or maybe she dyes her hair brown as to not stand out

If that's true that's the dumbest decision I could possibly imagine.

And you find out in the post credits of Homecoming 2 that "Mary Jane" is a codename for

That's awful.

Being MJ isn't really difficult, you just need to be sexy, red hair and love interest for the hero... I don't think they'll go into the clones stuff and shit for the movies so here we go.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

The Flash casting in this movie is the most perplexing one.

I wouldn't say it's that perplexing. Bullies come in all shapes and sizes. We've seen the jock Flash twice already. It's another way of mixing things up.
