“Marvel is writing Mj poorly to make fans not like her anymore”: What Started From Tobey Maguire’s Love Life in Spider-Man is Getting Worse in Marvel Comics as Mj Turns into an Annoying Love Interest

Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man films successfully balanced the challenges faced by a teenager amidst losing a loved one and juggling the responsibilities of high school. Additionally, Peter has to keep his identity as Spider-Man hidden while also trying to impress Mj. The three films show the evolution of their relationship which fans found to be underwhelming.

Peter and Mj didn’t have the best arc in the films and the latter’s poor characterization didn’t help matters. The character’s presentation in mainline comics has deteriorated as fans find her increasingly annoying. Fans are lamenting the decline in quality of the current comic writers in not being able to elevate Mj and her dynamic with Peter.
Following Underwritten Mj in Sam Raimi’s Films, The Comics Continue The Disappointing Trend
