I'm black and I hate when they turn random characters black just to be "inclusive". Just make new black characters That said. This is not Mary Jay. It's a new character, like pretty much all of them in the movie. It's a different universe, so it's cool. But when they make new characters then people go, "why did they make this new character? Where is so and so from the comics." Of course what homecoming did was worse as it made new characters and called them comic book characters. Not always. If it's a good character then people will except it. If it's Just a racialzed character then they probably would have that reaction But personally, I don't care if Mary Jay is in it or not. I honestly think she's a dumb bitch (especially Gwyneth Paltrows version). A fresh new character/love interest is welcome Her name is Mary Jane. And she was never played by Gwenyth Paltrow My bad I meant Kristen Dunst I was think of Gwyneth for whatever reason <cite>Haldol posted [p:882927598] in Why is it ...

But they never did anything like, say, turning the guy in the rhino costume into the guy in the rhino robot. Some of the Ultimate decisions are as bad as giving Bruce Wayne a baseball bat and turning him into the guy from Walking Tall. Also, being a fan is not the same as being a fanboy.
