You son of a bitch
all of the Spidey movies messed up adapting the comics in their own way, this might do the same. and fundamentalists? lol
Casting one of the hottest women alive as Mary Jane? No, everyone's gonna be really pissed
it's almost like its an actual group of kids you might find in a high school in queens

They're making his classmates look like the population of the city he lives in. This really isn't that complicated.
Yeah that would be a cool movie, this is a Spider Man movie though?
All the girl next door photos and that dancing video and that one gif are doing things to me OKAY
Dude, you want me to list all the things you're implying with every vague statement?
Get specific.

The fuck does that even mean
Oh cool, my heart is breaking all over again thinking about that show.Liz was great in Spectacular Spider-Man.
Shes not bllack so theyll kick and scream especially if her hair isnt red but itll survive and the movie might turn out great given marvels track record. Personally shed look better without the red hair, unless being ginger was intgral to maryjane who gives a shit?

a spiderman movie for the children and teenagers growing up in this era. not for you.
It's difficult to tell until we have an idea of what Disney wants MJ to be, she can be useful for Peter or totally uninteresting/useless as many women characters in those type of movies, too early to tell but I don't really care about the character itself that much, never been a fan of her personality.
Spidermans nyc isnt diverse? Because its the same universe as the netflix shows and those have a very diverse cast.
Ill pretend to ignore your implications on the count of you being daft.

Stan lee's MJ was everyone's side hoe. As long as they don't enter that zone I'm good.

Is MJ even Peter's girl in the comics anymore? I remember that One More Day mumbo jumbo completely broke them up.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
I've been creeping on Twitter since Mary-Jane is trending, and the response is overwhelmingly positive. Marvel and DC will be taking casting advice from Black Twitter from now on. All your favorite love interests are dark skinned. Catch the fever.
are you kidding me?

The MCU is different enough from the tradional comics that this doesn't bother me....except for the hair. MJ needs red hair and Zendaya having a red streak won't count.
Your username is starting look super appropriate. LOL

So THIS is why RDJ is in the movie
Finally, he can satiate his urges to hit it with Zendaya
I'm guessing her name is Michelle Jane or whatever.

What if she doesn't though? What happens then?
I'll help reiterate.
Casting white people instead of Asians in Shyamalan's The Last Airbender (2010) is comparable to casting a mixed woman instead of a white woman in Marvel's Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017).
Because right now there are a metric fuck fuckity fuckton of Asian leads in American movies, but practically no white female love interests. It's a real shame. I can see where he's coming from.

I'll probably be miffed for like the first 5 minutes she's on screen, then forget about it.

Black Widow is what get people really mad.
Neat. Obviously "Michelle" was just a cover. It was either Mary Jane or Felicia Hardy. Felicia Hardy would have been interesting too. I hope they'll still explore the character. Anyway, I wonder how they'll get around Zendaya not being a natural redhead. I guess she'll just color it and that will be a "thing" in-universe.
Interestingly enough her role supposedly isn't that prominent in the first movie, but will get more so as the series develops. I wonder if she'll be the main love interest in Homecoming or if that role will fall to Liz Allan like in Spectacular, or someone else.

Thanks for answering!
In agreement. The truth is these are characters in an adaptation, and as such, are subject to the whims of the film/TV creators.
As another example, Scarlet Witch in the MCU has little connection to her comic counterpart. She's a whole new character with a familiar name. What I find surprising is many are fine with that, assuming they are purists in that regard.
Any lines out there? Some adaptation has already crossed it, many to great accolades.
I wish MJ was a red head and I'm perplexed about the casting of Flash, but living through the great Heath Ledger Joker Wars of 2006 gave me more perspective on the issue. That said, I get those who may have issues with it for various reasons. One poster early on expressed that as a redhead, they keenly felt the loss of a redheaded character. I can get that.
Do you feel all of the characters in previous Spider-Man adaptation were correct mirrors of their comic counterparts?
It is neither the comic nor a documentary. It is an adaptation.
