I thought it was a nice way of drawing a parallel with Mary Jane  without the pain of her being a radically different characterisation of the actual character. I just wish they'd done something similar with Ned, who could not be further from his comic book namesake. Yes indeed. I read a little about this as well, and found it disappointing. Is this in the context of the MCU, the previous films up to this point (I remember you mentioning not being a fan of the X-Men films for being too similar to one another and for the focus on tall, handsome Wolverine) or just the characters and the premise?I feel quite attached to the X-Men having devoured most of the mutant titles in the Eighties. They have a lot of potential, but at this point I'm not overly optimistic about the MCU tapping into this (also, my attachment is likely to magnify any sense of disappointment). Yes. You and everyone else, I'm sure. Whatever the content or quality, it's going to make a lot of money very quickly.</blockquote>
