Will MJ even get a lot of screen time?

I hope she doesn't. there are TOO many other important characters to delve into!

 

but she's one of the main stars of the film and story already, she's got to get her due screen time.

 

Peter:"This story is all about a girl.That girl: Mary Jane Watson"

She's dominated the last two movies with that theme.No reason to think why Raimi's changing his formula now.

 

exactly right

 

Sex appeal?? With Eric Foreman, Opie's kid, and Tobey??

 

The main problem is that the more characters who have screen time the less time the movie has to show Spidey web slinging and fighting bad guys.

 

LMMFAO

 

Gwen Is Better To Look At.

 

she's probably got a big ego so she'll be in it quite a bit, plus it would conflict about the whole "any story worth telling is about a girl" angle.

 

Ha ha ha - I think Topher Grace is dead sexy, but I still found that funny.

I hope MJ gets a lot of screentime. She had a much better role in the second film - they actually gave her, y'know, spine and personality. She wasn't falling all over herself to get Peter's affection like she was in the first. She had a firm position: "No see play? No get lay!"

 

I don't know why, but I get the feeling this story's going to feel different with so many Blondes... Nothing against Blondes, but they tend to offer a different look and style to films and whatnot.

As far as the original question goes, I kinda hope MJ has less screentime as well. Not even going the "I'm tired of her" route, I just think she'd serve better in the cut with a simpler role. She's finally getting her dreams started. There's not enough time for Peter (which means less screen time), Peter finds time for Gwen (ooh...), Mary's jealous (a few shots of "Upset Mary" will be enough).

Nice sig, AnimeJune. I also wish that Rami would go this route with the humor instead of his slapstick routines. The broomcloset thing was funny in SM2 and so was the "he stole that guys pizza" thing. But the lines between Spider-Man and his foes are part of what make "Spider-Man" as a character and a great read. Though I realize, slapstick works better in movies sometimes.

 

Chris Tucker? FUNNY? Ironically - that whole idea is funnier than that comic!

 

Meh, Tucker’s alright.

As for this thread’s topic:
MJ most probably will have a significant role in SM3…again. Although I do hope her and Pete’s relationship deal isn’t as big as in SM2 and is cut down to make space for other stuff. Of course his and Harry’s relationship is bound to be explored and I personally want to see a decent role for Gwen too and hope she won’t be the one Peter cheats on MJ with. I really don’t want to see him in the redhead’s shoes.
Pity Sam gave so much significance to Spider-Man’s love story. It’s not the only thing Peter can be worked up about. For one I wanted to see him explore his orphan life and try to find out more about his parents.
