There's Something About Mary (Jane)
Right just gonna launch into this waving my fan machete. So Shailene Woodley is out of Amazing Spider-man 2, because apparently they (tptb) want to focus on Peter and Gwen. I'm just gonna straight up call bs. Surely the small role she filmed could have found room to be included, certainly alongside substantial roles for Electro, Rhino, Vulture, Norman Osbourne, Harry Osbourne... Like seriously would it kill the filmmakers to bring in another female character into a film with only two significant female characters? C'mon! What kind of message are they trying to send? I mean for one surely this just means that MJ's appearance in the third one is gonna be rammed right into proceedings? She goes from being a previously established figure to literally just being the replacement!?! Never mind removing potential Gwen and MJ bonding and not being merely romantic opponents. Then you come to Miss Woodley, now she's great and given her up coming abundantly full slate of work and her obvious talent she'll be fine if rumours of her complete replacement are true. But it's the worry that if, as some of the more cynical sides of the Internet are suggesting, it's because of deluded fanboys/execs claiming she's "not hot enough" then I weep for the future. Not only for those guys deranged idiocies and backwards way of thinking but for the people that have to live in a world where that's a legitimate reason for someone to be fired, in 2013!!!! Then I remember that we are those people and this is our world. I think we could all do with a hero right now, Peter Parker you out there? It's me Jamie...
