She was Peter's love interest, the "it" girl he wanted but couldn't have. Her role was to show Peter's inadequacy and inferiority that he spends the rest of his life trying to resolve.

GG had about as much motivation and development as the Lizard, but somehow the Lizard is held up to be some iconic villain? Why the double standard? And the crappy GG suit isn't any worse than the crappy CGI Lizard.

The fact that you downplay the change from outcast nerd to hipster is about all the evidence needed we'll never see eye to eye on this. Like I said before, you subscribe to a revamped Peter that Marvel changed for a new audience, and that's tragic. He's no longer the underdog loser nerd who rises above expectations and shows kids what they can be. The lessons to treat power with respect and responsibility are gone. Even Captain America included that as a central character and plot point. But Amazing Spider-man is just some cool kid who got his new iPhone 5 and lookit what he can do with it! I see how that appeals to today's youth.

I repeat it because you continue to not acknowledge how important those elements are to the character and how their omission or change in the Amazing movie is much more significant than changes to MJ or GG. Of course, you don't feel that way because your Spider-man is a modern bastardization that downplays the significance of those elements.
My spider-man? stop being so pretentious, i`ve read each and every amazing issues and more issues you could ever dream of. You don`t care about MJ, and shrug her off as a secondary character while announcing J fucking Jameson needs an award? ok.

The Lizard had a plan, i`m not going to explain it though, i`m sure you can remember what it was.

Ugh, you know what? fuck this, i`m going to take DS`s advice.
