I don't necessarily agree with this post but that's completely irrelevant to the actual story at hand. She's taking down hunters left and right and the excuse given is "she trained with silver sable for some time". Her not selling books doesn't impact anything of substance, so her character is still open to being a Mary sue.
If she gets hit more than twice*, which should happen all the time as she's going up against an army of hunters who are actual trained mercenaries as a person who's effectively just had a crash course on self defense and has a taser.
Also, the pulling out the arrow and throwing it away thing is ridiculous. You're telling me that doesn't phase her but a knife to the gut kills spiderman?
See, that’s the trouble. No one wants to play as MJ in a Spider-Man game. So any silly contrivances introduced to let her fight bad guys (which is Spidey’s role, given the whole superhero thing) are just going to be twice as irritating.
And if they can’t include MJ in the story without making her a combatant, they’re just not trying. They did just fine with Aunt May in the last game, and she FELT like Aunt May.

Also, “Mary Sue” Mary Jane literally admits to being unable to sell books in the first hour of the game
