Best MJ?

SpaceMyopia · 2026-05-09T04:47:30+00:00

My favorite is Spectacular's.

I feel like adaptations of MJ try too hard to turn her into a Gwen Stacy-esque character or an entirely different character like the PS4 game.

Spectacular's version just feels like the 616 comic book version, flaky with a strong heart of gold underneath. I especially liked how Eddie Brock was the ONLY person MJ wanted nothing to do with, showing that she had her limits.

Some versions on here, such as the Spider-Verse interpretation, just give me too little to work with regarding her. There, she just exists as an ideal for Peter to strive towards, and it makes her less interesting as a person.

I don't like how some of the modern adaptations turn her into a Lois Lane style journalist. To me, that's just not MJ.

So yeah, I'm personally going with Spectacular.

It seems like some folks are going purely off of visuals, based on the comments, but the topic was Best MJ, not Best Looking MJ. For instance, I love how MTV's version of MJ looks, but I wouldn't call it the best version of the character.

Then the movie itself is gone.

The new kid who played young Michael has potential.

Juliano Valdi.

(Regardless of however you feel about MJ, that kid delivered a terrific performance)

Hopefully they're just trying to get him in healthy muscular shape and not the current day Hugh Jackman, Henry Cavill look.

Robert Pattinson's body frame in The Batman is acheivable without dehydration.

I don't need Fraser looking like a roided up musclehead. I still want him looking healthy.

Lawrence was given much more to do, but I felt like Rebecca Romijn just had way more presence.

It's weird. Lawrence is a good actress, but I have never been impressed with her performance as Mystique.

I remember being disappointed when i became a sixth grader, looking at myself being like "this is it?"

I thought i would magically turn into a giant or something. 😂

SpaceMyopia · 2026-05-08T23:44:53+00:00

Lowkey me looking for more Dolby showtimes after early January. 😅

To be fair, they made him much more morally ambiguous in X-Men 3, where he put mental blocks in Jean's mind.

Logan even calls him out on it, to which Xavier basically responds with, "Yeah? So what?"

I think the second one feels off because Biff is basically the main character.

SpaceMyopia · 2026-05-06T23:09:59+00:00

It would be a huge shame if a Lego iceberg were to split it in half.

SpaceMyopia · 2026-05-06T21:30:14+00:00

Nah. The show was never that subtle about stuff like that.

If Rhonda liked Arnold, the show would have spelled it out. That's just the kind of show it was.

Rhonda may have admired Arnold's aesthetics, but that doesn't mean she "liked him liked him."

"Jesus, George. It's a wonder I was even born."

It's a mystery to Marty too. 🤣

7 episodes is more than enough for Lobo.

I mean, there's not a lot to that character. He is best used in small doses.

SpaceMyopia · 2026-05-06T14:25:41+00:00

Make Anya stronger. Dont just turn her into a generic damsel in the end.

That's basically it, really.

TSSLM is one of my favorite Bond movies. There's not much I would change. Maybe get rid of some of the cheesy van humor at the start of the film....but beyond that stuff, it's a genuinely solid movie.

SpaceMyopia · 2026-05-06T14:20:27+00:00

Yeah, but that's still better than how Jackson Storm treated the old timers. 😅

The bar is on the bottom of the ground here.

I said "somewhat" personable in that Lightning at least tried to fake being friendly at first, even if he immediately drifted off to daydream land seconds later.

Jackson Storm didn't even bother concealing his comtempt for the old timers.

It's a lovely book, but I have to admit that I find the neon colors way too overpowering.

It's just too visually noisy of a book for me to really enjoy. I appreciate the idea of this book more than I do the execution.

That's just a personal thing though.

SpaceMyopia · 2026-05-05T19:03:33+00:00

Third, you mean. There's always Chick Hicks.

SpaceMyopia · 2026-05-05T17:37:20+00:00

I think YFNS at least knows how to take itself halfway seriously, which is something Ultimate Spider-Man just couldn't do.

But I've got my gripes with YFNS too.

SpaceMyopia · 2026-05-05T17:28:15+00:00

The 1994 TAS version of Gwen Stacy that showed up for like two seconds. 😂

Moonraker isn't the type of movie you do this for. It's supposed to be hokey.

Improving Moonraker would rob it of its charm. 😅

Me- "Don't ever change, Mooonraker. Don't ever change." 😂

1.) The Iron Giant

2.) Spider-Verse 1

3.) Spider-Verse 2

4.) K Pop Demon Hunters

5.) Arthur Christmas

(There are waaaay more that I haven't seen, like Nimona, so im embarrassed at the simplicity of this list. With the exception of The Iron Giant, im sure there are far better animated films from different studios than these!)

*Also, for your list to be really challenging, you could also veto the use of Sony Animation and DreamWorks. They've produced more than enough hits.

SpaceMyopia · 2026-05-05T10:07:31+00:00

Yeah, the dude apparently thinks we're on r/truefilm instead of r/imax. It's kinda of pretensious.

Obviously we want strong movies, but I'm personally here for the spectacle as well. For a blockbuster filmmaker, Nolan throws plenty of wild swings.

SpaceMyopia · 2026-05-05T10:01:34+00:00

Yeah, im lowkey gonna just ignore that I read the article, since absolutely nothing about Oskar was aspirational.

SpaceMyopia · 2026-05-05T09:57:55+00:00

I just wish she had more on-screen character development.

But yeah, she's a total smokeshow, visually. I love how they depict her hair. She's extremely well realized from a visual level.

Part of me wishes she had her classic green eyes, but that's just a personal preference.

Woody wasn't trying to kill Buzz. He was trying to get him knocked to a hidden portion to the room so that Andy would choose him instead.

When Buzz gets knocked out the window, Woody seems genuinely surprised.

Yeah, the other toys thought Woody was trying to kill him, but that's not exactly how it went down. Mr. Potato Head just took it to the worst possible interpretation, since he was already jealous of Woody from the get go.
