So pissed off what if wasted potential
Honestly, sometimes I just scroll through fan art and get so inspired by the sheer creativity of the Spider-Verse community! There's so much talk about 'wasted potential' in existing storylines, and I totally get it. For me, seeing Zendaya's MJ, a character we deeply care about, reimagined as a powerful Spider-Woman variant like this 'Multiverse OC' from Earth-615, just sparks so much joy and curiosity. It makes you wonder, 'What if?' This specific fan art, picturing Michelle Tines (or MT, as I've seen her called in some fan theories) as 'Spiderwoman,' completely blew me away. The concept of her having abilities like 'invulnerable skin,' 'insect mind control,' 'invisibility,' and 'phasing' isn't just cool; it opens up a whole new realm of storytelling. Imagine MJ, not just as Peter's love interest, but as a formidable heroine, using 'Xray Rightvine' for tracking and fighting villains on her own terms. It’s a vision of strength and self-reliance that many fans, myself included, secretly wish we could see on screen. The idea of a 'what if' scenario where MJ gets bitten by an 'xgene enhanced' spider, similar to what's suggested in the artwork, feels so organic within the multiverse. We've seen so many versions of Spider-people, but a Zendaya-led Spider-Woman, integrating her unique charm and wit with these incredible powers, just seems like such a missed opportunity in the main canon. It's not about replacing Peter Parker, but about expanding the universe and giving a beloved character a chance to shine in her own right. Thinking about these alternative universes, like 'Earth 615' mentioned in the art, really highlights the endless possibilities. Why do we, as fans, gravitate so much towards these 'potential wasted' ideas? I think it's because we're invested in the characters and want to see them grow beyond their established roles. When you see concept art or fan-made comics that give characters like MJ a superhero identity, it feels like a natural evolution that could enrich the entire Spider-Verse narrative. It allows us to explore deeper themes of agency, power, and what it truly means to be a hero, regardless of who you are or your existing connections. So, for anyone else who feels that flicker of 'wasted potential' when thinking about characters in their favorite franchises, this kind of fan art is a fantastic outlet. It lets us collectively dream up the stories we want to see. Personally, I'd love to see more fan interpretations of how characters could gain powers like 'pulse stun' or other unique abilities, transforming them into unexpected heroes. It’s a testament to how deeply we connect with these stories, wanting to see every possible dimension of their development.
