Every time she says or does something I get the feeling she lived her entire life in a Truman show populated by robots until aunt may pulled her out of it
Her dialog here is written exactly how spider-man’s fight dialogue in that era is. She excuses herself from an interaction with an overly-specific and obviously-phony excuse. Next she makes a silly crack about the giant hole in the wall to avoid having to make a serious angsty response to how bad the situation is. Then she makes an obviously backhanded remark using a colorful metaphor within direct earshot in an attempt to provoke her opponent.
That said, I’m not entirely sure whether this is due to of MJ trying to be like Spider-Man, Spider-Man trying to be like MJ, or lack of range on the part of the writers.
This dialogue actually works perfectly if you read all characters in the same exaggerated male 1950’s continental accent.
Like wow. You’ve got a groovy way of making sense.
Omg you’re right. This changes everything with reading old comics lol
