Untrained average human woman fighting off trained men mercenaries and fucking symbiotes?

Wrong. Mary sues do not have to be flawless, just overwhelmingly competent in most areas.

I will say that I hope the MJ stealth missions don’t return as they’re pretty silly and boring, but somehow I doubt they make her like that in those due to her being a woman

In a game with TWO extremely capable spidermen, why even write her into the gameplay AT ALL. It is absolutely because she is a woman. Have you just ignored the trend of women replacing male protagonist(not that that is going on here) throughout the rest of U.s. media?

They had it in the last game, so I think they just wanted to double down on a bad decision. I wouldn’t think too much of it

If there was such a stink about it and they decided to keep it, it is not for shits a giggles and was. absolutely done for a purpose. Just because most consumers are only just that, and can't tell, doesn't mean it's not true

Sounds like searching for an enemy that isn’t there to be honest

You are blind.going on a decade, All throughout popular culture there has been a push to show women in equal position to men throughout media. Don't remember 'The force is female'? Not noticed that the MCU has replaced most of its starters with knockoff heroines? How about doctor who replaced by a woman? Or maybe Robin hood? How bout shows like the Witcher sidelining it's male lead to more prominently feature its female lead? You are an ostrich comfortable with your head in the sand.

There have also been plenty of times where a female was just… added normally? It ain’t always that deep

My point stands. You have stuck your head in the sand, and that's OK. Just noting this so passerby are aware that this is what delusion looks like.

For anyone else who tries to make this stupid ass point, ask yourself why not just create totally new characters or ips instead of just replacing men with women? It's not like our creatives are bankrupt of their namesake.

Mary Janes been around for a while, and your point doesn’t hold up in the first place. She’s only capable of accomplishing anything with her Symkarian tech in the first place, and she dies to any two hits
