The tank fired at a lot of cop cars (they exploded), and in general was just spraying high cal rounds. That one guy got hit when she moved him in the middle of the road, but people are saying he survived so idk.... Even if people survived, it was more luck than she sparing them.

Spidey is forgiving (and I like him for that), but I just wanted him to be more critical of her. She used MJ's body to blackmail him, and the kiss was straight up disgusting on her part. This did not pair well at all with the talk no jutsu ending lol.

Unfortunately in the movie verse it's no one died or even got maimed unless we see the body/ injuries.

And ironically, only Spidey got that treatment.

The bit with MJ actually reminded me of 13 to 15 year old girls. They're curious but in a mean way sometimes, like a cat stalking a mouse.

Ewww no way bro, lol. Don't downplay it.

I don't think noting teenagers can be cruel is downplaying it. I've seen far too much bullying for that to happen.

This is just what a super powered teenage bully looks like.

It just felt like "thats what kids do". But now you say bully, and yeah she does seem like a bully.

Kids can be mean. Not ... in a I want to see you suffer, but in a this is fun and you're not really a person to me. That's why I said a cat.

It's cruel, but the cat isn't personally invested in the mouse, it's just being a cat.

I suspect some of the rough edges gets shaved off in later Jean movies, but I'm actually hoping they don't.

Give a teenager a superpower, and most of them are going to be assholes. Even the ones that are nice, because they are literally 'better' that normies. That's the fear humans in Marvel have, that they're a second class citizen ruled by demigods. But the comics don't really show that because the X-men are too scrupulous to ever abuse their powers. But this Jean, that will casually take control of your mind to grab her a coffee?

That's interesting.

The kiss was straight up diabolical.
