Apparently she isn't called Mary Jane at all which is weird. Other than that I don't care. Apparently the character is charming. She can always get red hair in the sequels. It's not like she ever looked like a natural red head.

Darmik posted...Sage JJ posted...Honestly who cares if he has a black love interest? Personally I just dont understand the need for Hollywood and Marvel to keep changing well established characters. A lot about it is hard. In this case one of the most established things about Spidey is that the love of his life is MJ. It doesn't matter what Peter or MJ we see. This is the constant in every adaptation of Spider-Man. If she wasn't MJ people would be waiting for MJ in a sequel. Because that's who Peter ends up with. Doesn't matter if it's 616, Ultimate, the movies, the cartoons or any other zany interpretation of Spider-Man. Again this isn't anything new. Adaptations pretty much always keep established and familiar things while also changing up some stuff to make it fresh or more suitable for the current market. Hell this is exactly the concept the Ultimate Spider-Man comic line was based on and this movie seems to take a lot from that. --- Kind Regards, Darmik ... Copied to Clipboard!

This is precisely the right way to introduce diversity into an existing franchise, imo. This will be the second time that the films have rebooted in the last decade, so why not keep it fresh? We don't need the same love interest every time. We had a vanilla MJ in the 2002 - 2007 series. It was smart to substitute "Gwen" for MJ in the 2012 reboot. It's smart to sub in "Michelle" in Homecoming.
It would be one thing if they just changed her race or hair color for no reason and kept everything else about her exactly the same. But that's not what they're doing. Maybe they'll throw in a stupid "MJ" wink to the audience at the end, but Michelle sounds like a fundamentally new character. Nothing to be mad about, imo. --- BKSheikah owned me so thoroughly in the 2017 guru contest, I'd swear he used the Lens of Truth to pick his bracket. (thengamer.com/guru) ... Copied to Clipboard!

This isn't the only source. Numerous people who have literally seen the movie have confirmed this is revealed at the end of the movie. Also literally says it here: However, towards the very end of the film, the Decathlon team need a new team leader and the teacher picks Michelle. At which point she tells them 'friends call me MJ.' Which article did you read? EDIT: Unless you're referring to her not being "Mary Jane." It's all semantics. She's THE "MJ" in this Cinematic Universe, so her role is pretty obvious.

@ClockworkHare posted...I don't see what the buzz is about. She's hot looking and not even that dark... Then you're confused. I don't personally care about who plays Mary Jane either way. I always found her to be a dull character and believe Peter Parker should finally be written to hook up with someone else, like Gwen or Black Cat. Since I don't give a crap about MJ as a character in the first place, the race of the actress who plays her is also irrelevant to me. But the reining rumor is that critics bothered by Zendaya Coleman playing Mary Jane are pissy because she's not exactly like the iconic Caucasian redhead in the comics. People hung up on that detail gripe whenever an iconic character gets casted by someone with much darker skin. Zendaya's skin is so light, the critics shouldn't be triggered as much over her being part black. But being triggered is what they do. --- Bite me like one of your French rolls. http://www.imageupload.co.uk/images/2017/06/05/flcnpawn.png http://www.imageupload.co.uk/images/2017/06/05/84543589.gif ...
