It's not the slightest change to me. It's taking away the name and the character's structure to me. Make her black, spanish, indian, asian, it doesn't matter to me in the grand scheme of things, but taking away the structure and name makes trying to make it the character at all pointless to me. I think some would argue, though I'd kinda disagree, that they haven't got a proper adaption of MJ in all 5 movies. Let's make Spider-Man into Patrick Paulson, make him into a bully ladies man before he gets bit by the spider. I don't see the point in even using the character spiderman then.
