I didn't find funnt the comment about Peter. Aunt May would surely give a beating to both if she has heard them.

Playful joke to cheer up BC spoilers:

who was sad that MJ was 'perfect' for peter and also this does good on a possible foreshadow for the timeless tease

It was a joke. And after all spoilers:

they were only at the hospital and had to regain the Hood’s hood in the first place because Peter had been beaten up and they were taking care of him.

It might be a joke, but it make it sounds as if Peter had not virtues on his own.

What did you want MJ to say to her? spoilers:

"Yeah, he's awesome and wonderful and amazing and spectacular and he's also mine, you lost, HA HA"?!? MJ was cheering her up. Because MJ is indeed perfect!

Same here, especially given they had a lot more in common than it would seem at first glance. MJ being the "original bad girl" pitted against a (seemingly) "perfect" love interest for a "good boy" like Peter, and then that dynamic being replicated with Felicia as "the bad girl" and MJ as the "perfect good girl," was an interesting juxtaposition. In retrospect, I'd also interpret it as a (slight) rebuke of the people in both the Spider-Fandom and among the professionals working at Marvel who dismissed if not denigrated Mary Jane and Felicia Hardy as love interests for Peter Parker because they weren't traditionally "good girls." And yes, I will admit that Villa and Gomez both did excellent art with MJ in the Black Cat suit.

Glamorous MJ is glamorous .

Count Nefaria as a movie buff was something I wasn't expecting.

I don't see how Mary Jane was the bad girl.
She was just an independent, liberal, friendly, outgoing, progressive, free-spirited, fun-loving, hip party girl
She met Peter right after he started college.
Therefore, she was only around 17 or 18 years old.
She may just have been immature.


Technically, Mary Jane wasn't bad.
She wasn't committing crimes like Felicia was.


One of the reasons why I liked Mary Jane as Peter's love interest was that she was good but but a bit flawed.
She wasn't cookie cutter love interest that was perfect and tried to be like a saint.
She was also different in significant ways from Peter that complemented Peter.

That was why I put "bad girl" in quotation marks. I was more referring to the attitude by some in the Spider-Fandom and among those working for Marvel in a professional capacity that her "flaws," such as they were, made her undesirable as a long-term love interest for Peter.

[LordUltimus]

In essence, Gwen was the Betty, Mary Jane was the Veronica, and Felicia was the Cheryl Blossom.

Hmm, that's a good one.

Oh....I see what you mean now. I agree with you. Thank you for explaining.
