"I hate Raimis Mary Jane so much"
I think it’s impossible to create a less likable female lead. Let’s forget that she fucks Harry, Peter, some astronaut guy, Peter, Harry and Peter again, her simple existence makes the movies worse, because of the forced melodrama. Oh MJ, MJ, oh no she is in danger again, for the 10th damn time. Every finale is about rescuing your love interest, because clearly the villains don’t do enough bad things to justify fighting them therefore.
Sawatsu finds out the hard way that on Resetera, hating Sam Raimi's Mary Jane means that you hate all real-life women. Because Mary Jane equals women, I guess. He also goes on to praise Spiderman Homecoming and Insomniac's handling of MJ, but all that stuff is incidental when you've just slandered 50% of the world's population.
