Spider-man BND (thoughts and theories)
*SPOILERS* . .
. Okay, so I saw Spider-man the day after opening day and I've been sitting with it for a bit now. I figured since I'm gonna go see it again, I'll throw my first thoughts and theories into the mix to see if anything changed. This wont be all my thoughts.
My thoughts on Jean Grey: I think that she was amazing and for me this is a refreshing take on Jean. In all the movies before, Jean is mostly just the love interest in a love corner *it's not a triangle canonically* and to see Jean without Wolverine or Cyclops being involved is awesome imo. I'm annoyed with people on the internet for saying that Jean is unlikable and unsupportable because of all the murder and bad things she does when (by MCU standards) the only thing really despicable that she did was the MJ pretending to remember Peter thing. People liked Loki just fine even though he killed 100s of 1000s of people in Avengers (2012) and to say that MJ is worse for doing a lot less (minus the MJ thing) is a really hypocritical take. Overall this is just the first step in a bigger story for Jean and I'm very excited to see where it goes. My thoughts on Mj and Ned: Honestly it went exactly how I thought it was going to go even though I was rooting for the ladder. TBH I'm glad they didn't remember him (maybe), it makes for a more interesting story. I think them getting caught in Jeans field may have actually helped open something in their heads to make it easier for them to remember (hence why Mj was crying and why Ned was able to do the handshake) I'm also glad for the more realistic take on Mj and Peter. Of course she wouldn't remember him and considering she already has a boyfriend, it's very realistic that she would reject him. Also I like how this has pissed a lot of boys off. The amount of butt hurt incels who are angry at Peter for not being angry at Mj for rejecting him and being a mature person will never not crack me up. I've touched on the Ned reveal at the end of the movie, and I'm very excited to see where that goes.
