    To he fair regarding the facts, MJ is supposed to be far more attractive than a “normal” woman and way out of Peter’s league. She fixes his fashion and gets him to ditch the glasses.

      Idk, after a quick google I think this portrayal of MJ is faithful. Perhaps that’s just me/my tastes. She’s well above average. I think you’d be hard pressed to find anyone that could honestly say that she’s average/below average.

      Within the confines of comic books and adjacent media, perhaps she’s not as attractive as originally intended due to the hypersexualization of people in this genre. That’s more of a comment on the social conditions that lead to this trope rather than if she’s fuckable or not though

      There like 56 versions of MJ and some have wildly different character traits, visual features, and relationships with Peter, to claim that MJ is “supposed to be” anything just betrays ignorance of the franchise

        The fact that you dismiss that there is a baseline MJ on which all subsequent MJs are based on to at least some extent but generally have the character wholly intact betrays your ignorance of not only the franchise but of the comic book industry in general.
