There's some good art or whatever, but I've just never liked the idea of Mary Jane as this over-the-top sexpot babe. It just doesn't fit with Peter Parker's identity or personality or with the "Spider-Man" universe.

If you read the (wonderful) Silver Age comics from the 1960s and 1970s, Mary Jane is easily the ditziest and most superficial of Peter's love interests. She's known for doing nothing but spouting hipster slang (calling everyone "Dad" etc.) and not caring about anything serious. She's the deliberate counterpoint to Gwen Stacy (who's idealized all out of proportion, because she's doomed, and the Spider-Man story has always had tragedic tones).

I understand that they tried to give Mary Jane more depth, later, but I still think it's all wrong. Peter Parker shouldn't be happily married to some supermodel type who sits around the apartment in lingerie all the time. I just don't think it makes for a good story.

That guys Plastic looking Spidey suit is disturbing. But that is some spectacular MJ cosplay
