Yeah, I feel like the show actually had a pretty good take on MJ and her relationship with Peter, but they barely spent any time focusing on it. They advertised her and Felicia Day playing her but I think she's only had 15-minutes of screentime across this entire season.
I almost kind of want the show to get renewed for one more season just so they can do more with her.
I feel like they should've really started building up the relationship from her debut in episode/special 2 instead of having Peter go off on an Ironheart team-up. Not that I disliked the team-up, but from a plot perspective Riri and the AIM stuff really didn't matter as much when they're trying to build MJ up as Peter's love interest. Or, like, Moon Knight who hadn't even shown up or been mentioned in the prior two seasons.
I'm not even sure if she's going to meet Spider-Man in the finale.
Just for anyone curious, the Marvel's Spider-Man finale has a pretty good showing for MJ and MJ's relationship with Peter .
It'll probably make you wish they had done more with her earlier instead of saving it for what seems to effectively be the series finale, but better late than never .
Probably gonna be awhile before we see MJ in an animated series again.
