Like many of you know, Sideshow Toys have recently released a Mary-Jane Watson statue, And many fans are in a uproar! This is not because fans believe that Mary-Jane (MJ) is worthy enough of being made in to a bust (No Pun Intended), its the way that sideshow decided to portray her as. In the statue, MJ is bending down and holding the Spiderman costume above a small wash tub, Now this isn't the part that gets fans, in fact the artist, who's art work inspired the statue has stated, she has found the Spiderman costume in the wash. The part that gets fans, is how what they put her in. With the position that she is in, and the type of shirt she is wearing, there is a considerable amount of cleavage showing. Also, The type of jeans she is wearing, and the pose she is in, makes quite the sag, showing the fact that she is wearing a pink thong. This is quite a scantily clad MJ! In the comics, she is a model and a actress, but at
Home she is still the wholesome character she was introduced as! She was always busty, and hot but she was wholesome!
Mary-Jane is a very strong character, she does not let anybody tell her what to do! She was a role modle, and this in one of the many statues that help diminish that! Mary Jane might be good looking, but that is not a good reason to make her a sex symbol, like some many ""Toy"" makers decide to make her as!
Original Art Compared to Statue
It is really sad how Toy Makers portray her as
Overall, I am very disappointed with this interpretation of MJ! And previous incarnations (see above)! it completely retcons her "Role ModleNiss" (My Blog, My Words) and makes her a sex symbol! Grrrr.
Recently I have found that I find more enjoyment in typing blog posts, about various topics more enjoyable than what the site is meant for, posting my Lego creations. So because of this I am going to rework the site, as my main focus will be blogging (commentating as I will say, but still post my creations now and then. Also with the rework, I plan to post more of photographs (as I am a photographer) and maybe post photo tips. Any way wish me luck.
A "press" release about the new site will be released soon.
2 more days. Just 2 more, and school is out. And the summer will come. 2 more days. I'm sure you remember, the last day of school, the final goodbyes, Spouse to be fun! For me? No. You see my teacher works in mysterious ways, And in the last three months of school, if any body forgets anything, we get a final. One day three people forgot something. 20 questions, no big deal. But as many more people, screwed up, the more questions. The first three: 20 questions, the second two, 5 questions. But from then one, its five per person....And were at sixty. Damn. And these are hard tests, as some of you know, I am in seminar (Normal>Gate>Seminar, Not to brag) And we are learning some advanced things. And it will take us roughly three days. Today was the first. Damn.
Anyway, off that rant, I recently, felt the urge to start a web-comic, and built a few sets.... and thought of a little plot.... I think I might start a series of one shots, that still have continuity, and maybe a few story arch's, or the other way around. Ill work on it a lot more over the weekend, well while I'm not studying.
