Peter only liked MJ for her looks


Really shallow message

That started with pretty girls becoming actresses. I think Hollywood should start using average looking or ugly girls exclusively to send the "right" message.

You must've missed, but they did. How else would Zendaya be a "star"

It kind of puzzles me how she became prominent, I often wondered whether there are people out there thinking she is hot in some way.

Yes, there are millions of impressionable NPCs who just hear something, think it's popular opinion and are willing to agree to fit in. That's the mentality of almost all children and so many adults never grow out of it.

According to this post, she's the "most important actress of our times" lol: https://moviechat.org/nm3918035/Zendaya/5f69fa7355fcba4769863f7d/She-is-the-future-and-the-most-important-actress-of-our-times

I have read some articles like that before.

Maybe she is kind of experiment to see how much media can manipulate average people.

Personally I think the young teenage Girl who lives next to him in Spider-Man 2 and 3 is more attractive than Kirsten Dunst's Mary Jane.

You think that's bad? In the original comics, Harry starts taking LSD and was dating Mary Jane at the time. Then later in a restaurant, Mary Jane loudly declares to Harry in front of Peter and Gwen Stacey that she was never his girl and breaks up with him in the most cruel way possible. This leads Harry to overdosing on LSD. Funnily enough the reason Green Goblin/Norman Osborn originally went after Gwen and killed her was because he blamed Peter and Gwen for what happened to his son Harry. But he kidnapped the wrong woman. It was Mary Jane's fault he overdosed on LSD. Makes it kind of ironic.

Maybe so, however.....

If you took 100 male teenagers, teenagers that were heterosexual - and you asked them "Why do you like that girl?"

99 would say "Because she's pretty".

Or there might be some comments about her figure.

This is all straight teenage boys think about and talk about. Well this, and picking up the latter - sports and music.

In fact, I think it takes even adult men to get to around the age of 40 to appreciate the other attributes of a woman.
