It's absolutely insane that they could have had Silver Sable, Black Cat, or Yuri be playable in the game but instead they went with MJ. You have three notable female characters who are competent fighters that people would be excited to play as yet they chose the one who is just a civilian and needed to have reality bend around her to make her OP by their own admission.

[@lunagrace2872]

But common sense is too much for the crazy devs to realize.

[@jjjmadness8306]

Hell, both Yuri and Black Cat are in the game. There was no excuse not to use them, especially if they wanted female characters to play as opposed to MJ.

[@PlushiePengu]

They aren’t important in the grand scheme of things in the story. Sable is dealing with shit symkaria. Black cat is dealing with her own shit. Yuri is a side character u get to team up with in the flame missions. She’s a anti hero and it isn’t a wraith game would you wanna okay as someone who isn’t even a main protagonist. Never was. Y’all complain about the dumbest things. Mj is actually a character that makes sense to play as. And it’s only 3 missions and they’re actually fun this time around.

[@aawells07]

They know full well they could've used those characters but they purposely didn't cause the fans complained the last time so they did out of spite. I can't stand them tbh. The wokes are purposely destroying everything we love. Basically everything they do fails but they do it anyway. They'd blow the world up if a studio put the national anthem or a prayer in a video game. They'd burn down a mall if that happened.

​@@VGGamessFrom what I have seen her gameplay parts are dog shit. You can run around and knock opponents out like Big Boss from MG games. Chase parts are more like a illusion and you can stop to drink a cup of tea. Some quick time events are a illusion too. You can do nothing and there is no fail state. Nothing happens. Her sections in the first game were dog shit too. So many unnecessary mechanics, assets and etc used just so they could feed you multiple hours of this god awful content that is just illusion of playing a game. It could have been used to polish the game or add meaningful content. You can remove all the gameplay with MJ and you will not lose anything. Probably even make game more enjoyable.

You know, could they have at least made MJ likable? Thats my biggest issue. Shes insufferable and they way they try to make her cool and op is just cringe. I honestly try to figure out what Pete saw in this MJ to begin with. How come Miles or Pete don’t have a one shot stun gadet or something like she has either? How come Venom didn’t just kill her? When he had to issues trying to kill Peter or Miles? How is she able to tank a tendril shot from Venom and only be winded? This game was made for checkbox people.

[@fobl1737]

My thoughts exactly, which is why MJ disgusted me from the first game. An average woman who is not built, agile, or talented in either combat or stealth charges into a mercenary base with zero plan. That is not bravery, strength, or independence. That is called stupid, reckless, and suicidal. I don't even understand why Spiderman bothers to tolerate her behavior instead of letting her die which is clearly her intention. I would say respect her decision and let her die.

Him saying “I don’t give a shit” is him basically saying “I don’t give a shit about customer feedback, we’re gonna double down and give more of what they didn’t want” gotta love modern video game devs having a huge ego and rather than giving fans what they ask for they decide to fight against the paying customer.

I’m not a huge Spider-Man fan or anything but doesn’t making MJ an overly capable character sort of detract from the character of Spider-Man? Isn’t one of the caveats of being a hero with a secret identity that if the villain finds out about Peter/Miles’ loved ones then being Spider-Man puts them in jeopardy? Seems to me that Spider-Man doesn’t have to consider the morally gray choice of bringing civilians into his life since they can beat up thugs and organized crime syndicates with a wave of their hand.

[@jbktpl1245]

Exactly, I'm not against playing as other characters in of itself but when the director admits MJ was shoehorned into stuff, taking time away from Peter, Miles and even freaking *Venom!* especially when they got Tony Todd to voice him. Yeah I have a problem...

[@superstd]

true , with civilian MJ as example it would seem most civilian (female i guess) are OP , that would trivialize the existence of spiderman and black spiderman , or heck every super hero , what use is a superhero if a normal female civilian is more powerful than them ? just have those girls be the police and no bad guy will dare to even leave their house , it will be feminist wet dream .😂 the dev of spiderman 2 is actually undermined the existence of spiderman ironically .

Escapism is dead. Earlier we used to turn to videogames,movies etc to escape everyday real life, our daily struggles, all the politics & noise around us. We used to play videogames to enter this magical fantasy world that was very different from our shitty world so we forgot about our world. But now, we can't escape it anymore. We pay $70 to companies not to escape reality, but to be lectured by them & get more politics & propaganda shoved down our throats as if we don't get enough as it is in real life. Dude I am THIS close to selling my PS5 & breaking all ties with Sony 🤏 This isn't the first time Sony has done this woke nonsense & this won't be the last time. TLOU2, Horizon Burning Shores, GOWR all their recent games are woke. I wont be surprised if this is their new modus operandi this generation(making all AAA PS exclusives woke af & propaganda heavy) For me a game can be a 10/10 in terms of graphics,performance,fidelity, gameplay etc & the studios/devs who created it can be highly talented but what I can't tolerate as a consumer is propaganda & lectures by a corporate especially when I'm the one paying them $70. It's better if I just moved to indie space & game on my PC. Not just Sony games but every AAA games these days have this woke nonsense. AAA games are just not worth it anymore. I am not from US or Europe. I'm from a part of the world where $70 is a lot of money. We wait 5 years for these big AAA games, spend so much money after saving for months & what do we get? We get lectures & we get boring repetitive movie type simulators where half the game is cutscenes & other half is a checklist of collecting useless items. And other AAA games not published by Sony are broken mess. You pay $70 to get bugs,glitches & apology from game devs that the AAA game is unplayable on day one. So why shouldn't I or anyone move to indie space? Indie games dont have woke BS & virtue signalling. They are much more cheaper than your average AAA game. They don't have microtransactions, battlepasses, liveservice BS. And above all they are creative original ideas. They are made by creative passionate individuals, not greedy soul less corporates who want to sell as many copies as possible & pander to casual gamers & woke crowd. They are not repetitive movie simulators using the same tried & tested formulas over & over again in all their games. Modern AAA games are so big budget that they don't innovate & take risks simply cuz a lot of money is invested into them & they can't afford to fail. Since they dont innovate & take risks, they are all stale & boring in essence. Indie & AA space is where "real gaming" is. The kind of gaming we all grew up with. The gaming that is about enjoyment, not pandering to sell most amounts of copies

Cutting out stuff like Venom, possibly carnage and more Black Suit spider-man for mj to one shot many trained soldiers seems like a very bad move. If they needed a female/different perspective they should have used black cat for stealth missions. She can fight and make more sense for her to do it. She can even team up with mj and you could have mj wear a black cat tech suit to give her an edge as well.

People were so happy that they got a GTA v that they ignored the issues.. kind of like Bethesda with Skyrim... When it released back on to the PS4 they start giving it updates to improve it. What I'm saying is if you're going to make a comparison compare the game when it first came out versus the updates.. because we all know if Spider-Man have multiple updates in the future it's going to be a completely different game...
