Beating. Head. Against. Wall.
Lisa Loeb, the pop singer who will voice the character of Mary Jane Watson in MTV's upcoming computer-animated Spider-Man series, told SCI FI Wire that her MJ will be a little more grown up than the character in last year's hit film. "I did see the movie after we'd already done a number of episodes," Loeb said in an interview. "I feel like the new version of MJ in the animated series is more edgy. She's more independent."
Loeb added, "She's more secure. ... She's like on an even par with the guys. She's still feminine, but she's one of the guys. She's not like the girl character, which I think is good. That resonates more with me and, I think, with a lot of women."
I desperately want to sit these people down with the first few years of Spider-Man comics and not let them get up until they've actually read the characters they're supposed to portray.
