With the announcement that Snaggle Tooth...errr.. Flappy Jacks... errr.. Kirsten is back as MJ (GweMJ*cough*)... I truely fear for SM4 and the franchise as a whole.
Assuming, that Kirsten was actually "wooed" back as having an intricate role in SM4, and NOT simply coming back for the Cashcow Paycheck that is SM4 for her. And a BIG ASSUMPTION that is too.
But assuming it is true, that Kirsten has an intricate role in SM4, I fear. I fear because that means MORE all about "that girl". More at the expensive of Dr. Connors and the Connors Clan's development. Especially the development when it comes to Peter, as his adopted family he never truely had.
I fear that MJ's role in the film will once again give us a watered down villain and the villains Alter-ego. I fear it will once again, give us more emo Peter, or Saturday Night Peter (staying alive.. strutting his stuff), or pouty/crying face Peter.. over MJ and his/their relationship.
SHEEESH.. has Raimi even read one comic??? Just ONE???
I fear storyline will be sacrificed to satisfy the OVER inflated ego on one Kirsten (Snaggle Flappy) Dunst.
The ONLY storyline that MJ could add to significantly, that would not simply be another spin/reshash of the WB dramatics we have seen in SM1-SM3 with Peter/MJ is.... Dare I Dream... MJ's death (in place of Gwen's death in this perverse timeline Raimi has spun). And of course... NOT at the hands of a Goblin either.. so much for the "Goblin Legacy". (Pity)
But I can only IMAGINE the crying that would come on these boards IF the "precious" MJ were to die, instead of Gwen. So... I DOUBT SERIOUSLY that Raimi has the balls, nor the will.. to be "Dragged to Hell" by the fans if he DARES to follow such a storyline (pun intended).
So... get our your WB "hankies" my fans... Good Times are here AGAIN (*NOT*)... with the signing of our BELOVED Snaggle...errr.. Flappy... errrr... Kirsten... to the "hollow"edrole of GweMJ...errrr.. MJ.
And by the way Kirsten.. I will NOT hold my breath waiting on my Christmas Card from you this year.t:
In all honestly, no. There has been a serious gestapo feel to these boards for a while now. You can't even sneeze without mod approval.
Although I object to Dr. Octopus returning due to thematic reasons (as well as ruining Spider-Man 2's excellent closure to his character arc), under no circumstances should anyone EVER have "amnesia" in order to find a lazy route around plot obstacles. Spider-Man 3 did this..and it was ultimately, I think most would agree, the weakest developed plot line in the film.
What is speach? Like a fruit.
The board still has rules we have to abide by if we want to post here.
Posts like Slag's make me even happier if Dunst is coming back. Seeing Slag's anguish that is.
How can you be worried for the franchise if you've panned all the films thus far?

Ah Slag, I sincerely hope you're around for the duration of this. Need at least one of the old school around here.
Trust me, people will appreciate who we pick, because it'll be a big part of New York."
Panned all the films thus far????? *Seriously Dude... Learn to Read
I have always felt SM1 was the best of the bunch, even though I thought Doc Ock (in SM2) was the most visually thrilling villain ever on the big screen. And, I thought the fight scenes were outstanding in SM2.A comic nerd's wet dream if you will, and I include myself in that.
Now, for those confused easily, just cause there were aspects of ALL the films that clearly disappointed me, does NOT mean I panned all the films. Heck, I even enjoyed SM3.
Overall though, I am disappointed with SM3 the most, because I think it had some very high potential for true greatness, and simply settled for popcorn fare (albeit.. entertaining popcorn fare at times).
Hope that "clears it up" for ya![]()

Evan Rachel Wood is set to play Mary Jane Watson in the Broadway edition of Spider-Man. Hollyscoop first reported the news of the casting back in December.
But then scheduling conflicts got in the way for Evan, causing her to second guess her commitment to the Broadway show. But Moviefone has just confirmed that Evan is indeed on board as Mary Jane, and has pulled out of another movie to make things work. The website reports Wood has quit Zach Snyders Sucker Punch.
Evan also spoke with Sci Fi Wire about the upcoming Braoadway show, saying, "We're still looking for our Spider-Man, but it's going to be incredible. I just spoke with [director] Julie [Taymor] today, actually. It's going to be a crazy rock 'n' roll circus show. Julie's doing what she did with The Lion King to this: She's just taking it to a whole 'nother level."
Who could her co-star be?? They need a young important Hollywood actor who can sing and act. Theyd better not ask Zac Efron, because hes over musicals. But maybe Chace Crawford wouldnt mind doing a Broadway stint after hes done taking Zacs leftovers in the Footloose remake!
