ugh the moment in the first sam raimi spider-man movie when harry is criticizing mary jane for not wearing back because his father likes black, and she’s like, “maybe he’ll be impressed no matter what”–that must’ve been so hard for someone with low self confidence i’m so proud of her
I love Harry but a good boyfriend he was not, and she was right to ditch him
Just a reminder that in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy, Mary Jane Watson is a lonely girl who seems happy on the outside but suffers abuse at home that shapes her perception of herself for years to come, as each and every let down seems like a direct result of her own failure as a woman and a person, We see her fight for what she wants, stand up for herself, grow empathetic and forgiving and generous with her heart, be flawed and selfish and angry and human, chase after her dreams, and continue to fight every day through the mundane cycle of life because by the end she finally knows she deserves to be happy. And that is a hell of a character arc. And I’m still grateful we got it.
FILMS WATCHED IN 2017
Spider-Man 3 (2007) dir. Sam Raimi. Whatever comes our way, whatever battle we have raging inside us, we always have a choice. My friend Harry taught me that. He chose to be the best of himself.
Women of Marvel ➝ Gwen Stacy
She’s been obviously quite eclipsed by her other counterparts, but I really do adore Raimi!Gwen. She’s just so damn nice and bubbly.
Oh FUCK I never realised that! That’s awesome! Nice one!
I am 100% utterly here for connections between Harry and his mother (whatever name she’s going under)
