Mary Jane Watson “MJ”

Ask yourself this: if another actress had been cast as MCU MJ, would Homecoming suddenly have written her like the comics? Would Far From Home or No Way Home have fundamentally changed? Probably not. Those movies would have followed the same story beats because the characterization comes from the script, not the actress.

That's why I don't understand why so many people act like Zendaya is the reason MCU MJ isn't comic accurate. She doesn't write the character. She doesn't decide her personality, backstory, or role in the story.

i have a theory surrounding MCU!MJ. most likely isn’t true, genuinely just wrote this down because i thought it was interesting to think about. most likely someone else probably already thought of this but i’m barely on here, and no one’s gonna read this or care anyway so why not.

before i continue, trigger warning: mentions of verbal and emotional abuse.

spoiler warning as well for MCU spider-man, obviously.

I think after she says “I don’t love you”, I think she is just giving herself some time to breathe. She is still very wise and observant , but now her maturity is telling her to be pragmatic. And I don’t think it’s the end. Instead it’s paving the way for a fresh start.

And when she reads the letter instead of holding it all in, and pretending that she doesn’t care, she expresses her feelings to Peter and is completely honest with him, something that she has been unable to do with her current boyfriend. And she notices when Peter doesn’t get mad or resentful. He still helps her get home, so she helps him, by encouraging him to talk to Ned. Even though he screwed up, I think she can tell that he is hurting.

So instead of things coming to an end, I think she is leaving the door open, because she sees that Peter is inherently a good person. Because life is complicated and sometimes people make mistakes, but that doesn’t mean you should punish them for it.

I totally agree and it’s crazy some people don’t understand the importance of choice . It’s unrealistic for a woman to jump into the arms of a “stranger” (which he is without her memories). She reacts rationally and honestly to the discovery that her memories were erased, and even calls him out for not telling her sooner. Peter feels familiar to her but that’s as far is it goes. The time jump also helped establish her as a young adult that is building her own path in life. It’s super refreshing seeing her with her own agency outside of Peter.

I do believe Jean’s powers gave her back her memoirs, which is why she is crying. All it took was the handshake to make Ned remember after Jeans powers affected him.

People may wonder why MJ didn’t rush back into his arms but it all comes back her needing to fall in love with the man instead of the boy she once knew, which I think is beautiful and doesn’t take away her decision.

Emma is really a Spider-Man book called MJ loves Spider-Man! I’m really excited about this and have always bought Emma’s books after reading her amazing Spider-Man fanfiction called Perpendicular.
