Irritable Muse is irritated. (Spider-Man: Homecoming related)

So, can anyone explain to me why every single freaking time the part of my character gets assigned to an actress to play me in a film, there's a shitstorm over it?

First there was me, then that Shailene chick who didn't make it into the final cut of her movie, and now this?

Frankly, I think people ought to calm the heck down and give this one a chance. We've only heard a statement about the new MJ's outward appearance and zilch on her actual character and the actress' performance. I think you and I both want to keep our minds open about this, Mun. The solid judgments can wait.

I think you're gonna be amazing no matter what.

[Harry's not exactly an unbiased source, though, but his mun understands the frustration. MJ keeps getting crapped on and it's almost looking more and more like Harry's not gonna be around again. No love for her faves.]

[spider_kisser]

Thanks a bunch, Harry. But you probably ought to be telling that to the new MJ whenever she comes around here. Heheh.

[goblinjr]

I'd rather be telling you.

[spider_kisser]

Really? Uh, how come?

[goblinjr]

'Cause... for as amazing as the new MJ might be, she can't beat what's already perfect. [It's 150% corny, but he absolutely means it.]

[spider_kisser]

That's...*giggles* wow, that's such a high compliment. Not one I'm used to receiving, but I guess I should've expected the unexpected from you, Harry!

[goblinjr]

The world's full of idiots, y'know. Anybody with a lick of sense'd be falling at your feet, Mary Jane.

[spider_kisser]

*chuckles* Y'know, I'm almost inclined to believe you.

[goblinjr]

You should! I'm a very reputable source! Especially on this subject, thank you.

[Considering he's one of those guys that's still falling at MJ's feet. He knows better than to step between her and Peter these days, but that doesn't mean he can't remind her that he still thinks she's a beautiful person.]

[spider_kisser]

I know you are, Harry! Thank YOU.

[goblinjr]

Hey, no need to thank me for the truth, beautiful.

[spider_kisser]

Well, my Mun says I'm perfect too. But only because I've got so many flaws messin' me up. Hehehehe.

[goblinjr]

Eh, that's what mine says about me, too. Makes us "relateable" or something.

[spider_kisser]

I know, right? Same deal with me!

[goblinjr]

Guess that makes four of us who think you're perfect, then. Our muns, Pete, and me. [He smiles, loosely crossing his arms over his chest.] Now we just gotta change your mind.

['Cause it's no mystery that MJ's hard on herself, and he understands why now that he's been able to step back and look at his life. Years of emotional and verbal abuse have a way of warping your self-esteem.]

[spider_kisser]

Oh shut up, you! *giggles*

[smileyscars]

The role of you isn't to be played by Jared Leto, is it?

...........

No?

Then I'd say you're good!

[spider_kisser]

No, 'cause guys typically aren't cast to play major female roles in a production. We aren't living in Shakespeare's times anymore.

[smileyscars]

Kind of wish we were, though. Most Bards of today's world are poor substitutes. They lack that....let's call it "spark of madness."

[spider_kisser]

Sorry, not quite sure what you're talking about. If you're trying to draw any comparisons, then it's not very flattering.
