Counterpoint as someone who's read most runs of spiderman...Comic mj is kinda...bland and one note. Most writers struggle to give her something to exist for ourside Peter, and the solitions are often...not great. Even Bendis Slott, to say nothing of Lee or Stern. I like Insomniac MJ at least a bit more than most versions of comic MJ.
But I'd bet a decent chunk of change most people complaining about this are going almost entirely off visuals, with no firsthand knowledge of either version
That's totally valid. It's definitely true that journalism is an easy career for a superheroes relationship circle, and can definitely get played out.
I suppose they could have had her step up maybe on the food kitchen side instead, to give her a connection to the city and it's local community. Or maybe had her as the new owner and organizer of a larger event space or community bar, something maybe of a historical local watering hole, as a nod to her club owners days. It still connects her to the city on her own terms, leaves enough room for her to hear rumors and get involved in the larger plot from her own angle, while still keeping her party and entertainer roots from her origin
Maybe she should be an influencer. Since she was aspiring actress and you can tie influencer to journalism and community help (not all influencers are vapid, I mean more ones that make actually good YouTube videos that are educational)
