| Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane (Comic Book) | comment |
Mary Jane Watson is a popular, sweet-natured and well-liked teenage girl at Midtown High in Queens, who is part of the popular crowd, along with her best friends: head cheerleader (and queen bitch) Liz Allan, star athlete Flash Thompson, and wealthy Harry Osborn, who is clearly interested in Mary Jane in a romantic sense (feelings which Mary Jane is not entirely sure that she shares). Although 'MJ' is apparently happy-go-lucky and cheerful to everyone she encounters, it's all a lie, of course; underneath it all, Mary Jane is unhappy, lonely and insecure, feelings which she keeps bottled up in order to project her cheery facade.Over recent months, however, she has developed something of a crush on Spider-Man, a charismatic, quick-witted and confident Super Hero with whom she feels a connection, and after he saves her life when the train she is riding is attacked by a super-villain (and inadvertently lets slip a hint that he knows her), Mary Jane makes a resolution — she is going to ask Spider-Man to be her date to the Homecoming Dance. However, she soon finds that following up her crush leads her life in unexpected directions, many of which seem to lead back to her developing friendship with the kind but geeky and strangely behaving Peter Parker...Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane is, of course, the popular Marvel Comics story Spider-Man told from the point of view of Peter's Love Interest, Mary Jane. It explores Mary Jane's friendships with Flash, Liz and Harry (who are, of course, themselves key members of the Spider-Man cast of characters) and her developing friendships / romantic relationships with both Spider-Man and Peter Parker (whom, although it was strongly implied at times, was never directly revealed to be Spider-Man throughout the course of the book). Although primarily a Teen Drama aimed at teenage girls with little in the way of superhero exploits, it soon developed a following amongst a more diverse collection of fans owing to its clever and interesting writing (by Sean McKeever) and distinctive art (mainly by Takeshi Miyazawa).Under McKeever's pen, the book lasted for two four-issue mini-series (Mary Jane and Mary Jane: Homecoming, focusing on the build-up to the Homecoming Dance) and a twenty-issue run, which Miyazawa drew up until issue fifteen (where he was replaced for the last few issues by David Hahn). After McKeever left to work for DC Comics, Marvel started the series again at issue one with Terry Moore (Strangers in Paradise) writing and Craig Rousseau on pencils (it was originally supposed to be Adrian Alphona, but he quit comics).Yes, that joke's been made already, so has the other one. | |

Childhood Friend Romance | |
| Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane (Comic Book) / int_1c8e096e | comment |
Childhood Friend Romance: All over the place, it first starts with Flash and Liz dating, with Flash having a secret crush on Mary Jane. Then Mary Jane starts dating Harry. Then Flash and Liz break up and so do Mary Jane and Harry. After a while Flash falls out of love with MJ and then starts dating Liz again. And while it never actually happens, it's heavily implied that Mary Jane and Peter are going to end up as this. | |

Similarly, Liz is a bit of an Alpha Bitch but she genuinely does like MJ, and her mean treatment of Flash conceals genuine fondness for him. Furthermore, while she has a rather sharp tongue and abrasive personality she's not an outright bully and there's no real malice to her. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane (Comic Book) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: See Harsher in Hindsight above. Issue 8 is nearly identical to Untold Tales of Spider-Man #16. Felicia Hardy's introduction in issue 17 includes references to her identity as Black Cat. The cover of issue 18 has Firestar in place of Mary Jane's reflection, likely a reference to Angelica Jones resemblance to MJ in Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends. | |

Everyone Went to School Together: The basic premise of the series; in the original 616 continuity only Flash and Liz were Peter's high school classmates- he didn't meet MJ, Gwen and Harry until he went to college, and Felicia Hardy certainly never studied with any of them. | |

Character Development: MJ gradually becomes a bit more confident in herself and what she wants, Liz becomes less of an Alpha Bitch, Flash becomes less of a bully and Harry becomes more of an underhanded, scheming jerk (hey, character development isn't always nice). | |

Love Dodecahedron | |
| Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane (Comic Book) / int_4523420b | comment |
Love Dodecahedron: Take a seat; Mary Jane starts off in a relationship with Harry Osborn. At the same time, Flash Thompson, the boyfriend of Liz Allan, Mary Jane's best friend, also has a not-so-secret crush on Mary Jane. Mary Jane also happens to have a crush on Spider-Man, who himself may or may not have a thing for the super heroine Firestar. Overwhelmed by all of this nonsense, Mary Jane swears off boys, only to later develop a crush on Peter Parker. The moment she's ready to confess it turns out she's too late because he's now in relationship with Gwen Stacy. Dejected, Mary Jane kinda-sorta gets back together with Harry Osborn who kinda-sorta may also have feelings for Felicia Hardy. In the end, both Peter and Mary Jane end up single, and everyone can see the inevitable happening, but it ironically never does. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold | |
| Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane (Comic Book) / int_4781adbb | comment |
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While Flash Thompson is the high-school bully to Peter Parker that he is in every continuity, in this one we see a lot more of his perspective on things and thus witness more humanising moments from him. Notably, however, the "Heart of Gold" part is never allowed to excuse the "Jerk" part, as those around him tend to be quick to criticise him whenever they see him bullying Peter Parker. Similarly, Liz is a bit of an Alpha Bitch but she genuinely does like MJ, and her mean treatment of Flash conceals genuine fondness for him. Furthermore, while she has a rather sharp tongue and abrasive personality she's not an outright bully and there's no real malice to her. | |

Parental Issues | |
| Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane (Comic Book) / int_60b03a94 | comment |
Parental Issues: There is... something going on between MJ and her mother, which may contribute heavily towards MJ's issues throughout the series. It's never really elaborated on, and we never actually meet the woman, but MJ does not appear to harbour warm feelings towards her and the one time her home life comes up in a conversation with a school counsellor MJ mumbles out some vague, flustered comments about her before quietly asking to change the subject, clearly uncomfortable with discussing it. | |

Meaningful Echo: In the first issue, after accidentally revealing he knows where Mary Jane lives, Spider-Man stutters out a flustered Blatant Lie ("It's one of my special powers!") before quickly scurrying away in embarrassment after an awkward pause. At the end of the "Homecoming" arc, after walking her home from the diner, Peter Parker scurries away in a similarly flustered and embarrassed fashion after a similarly awkward pause. Almost as if they were the same person... | |

| Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane (Comic Book) / int_72ce3f54 | comment |
Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: The premise is about Mary Jane and her childhood friends Liz, Flash and Harry as they attend Midtown and deal with the frequent problems they face, while Mary Jane herself deals with her crush with Spider-Man while developing a closer friendship with Peter Parker. This is all wildly different from the original comics. Dialogue seems to indicate that Mary Jane has a strenuous relationship with her mother instead of her father. Flashbacks reveal that Mary Jane dated Ned Leeds in the past. | |

Dramatic Irony | |
| Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane (Comic Book) / int_ab5eea65 | comment |
Dramatic Irony: It's never outright stated, but there would be few in the audience who don't know that Peter Parker and Spider-Man are different identities of the one and same person, which adds copious amounts of this to the romantic entanglements Mary Jane gets into regarding them. | |

| Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane (Comic Book) / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: Since the series focuses on Mary Jane, many of the classic characters (such as Aunt May, J. Jonah Jameson, several villains) are either de-emphasized or absent altogether. | |

| Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane (Comic Book) / int_bc74ef27 | comment |
Berserk Button: Pretty much the one time we see Spider-Man lose his temper, it's when a supervillain he's been chasing notices and recognizes Mary Jane, who is present at their battle for an unrelated reason, and approaches her in astonishment as she (not recognizing him) backs away in fear. | |

Dude, Not Funny! | |
| Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane (Comic Book) / int_cdd835ce | comment |
Dude, Not Funny!: In-universed. In a flashback panel in one issue, Flash sees Peter quietly slinking through the school corridors, obviously upset about something, and makes a snide taunt towards him. One of his friends, appalled, has this reaction... and then realises that Flash hasn't heard the news about what happened to Peter's Uncle Ben the previous night. In general, other characters tend to be quick to call out Flash's bullying of Peter as mean and unfair. | |

Younger and Hipper: While putting Mary Jane Watson, Harry Osborn, and Gwen Stacy in high school with Peter isn't a new idea, the Ultimate Spider-Man book and the former two in the first Sam Raimi Spider-Man film having beaten this comic to it, it is the first time Felicia Hardy is also in high school with them. This is notable because Ultimate kept her an adult when she appeared. | |
