I think it’s accurate to the age PP is supposed to be in these. Looking back at my late teens and early 20s it’s definitely hard not to kick myself realizing I got so blinded by girls who wanted nothing to do with me that I couldn’t see the beautiful girls that were right in front of me. Anyway…
^i’m in this comment and I don’t like it^
they really filled our childish heads with wild ideas about what was considered ugly.
She was supposed to be ugly?
Not really ugly, but less desirable than MJ.
Which is still completely accurate.
depends on your tastes
NAW SON
Hm, I don’t see that.
Yeah, but like … movie ugly. Like Ogbert, the nerd that nobody realizes is handsome until he takes off his glasses.
“This is why I hated my first two weeks at the Royal Tampa Academy of tricks. No one knew who was the sluttiest. But I showed them.”
I was 13 at the time, and that was very much the impression that I got from the film at the time. remember it’s hollywood, anything without iPhone face is considered ugly
I personally prefer human faces, but to each their own!
I always got the vibe that they were portraying her as a fallback girl, which nobody wants to be. She wasn’t his first choice.
IDK about ugly. At least plain looking.
I feel like they did that to Kathryn Hahn, who I thought was a total cutie, but they always cast her as “the friend.”
remember at the beginning of Princess Diaries when we were supposed to believe that Anne Hathaway was ugly because her hair was curly and she didn’t pluck her eyebrows and she had glasses
“Braided ponytails? Ick!”
on top of that, they filled my brain with the fact that I would never be attractive as a man because I would never shave my chest and have a six pack. these hollywood folks sure had a lot of unresolved issues
Damn you oddly muscular Tobey Maguire
lol I was thinking more about the Abercrombie posters but yeah
Sounds like a great beginning for a supervillain origin story.
My love for you never wavered, Peter Parker. I’ve always loved you, and I always will. But your indifference turned me into something else, something darker. Jealousy and rage consumed me, transforming me into a monster. When the aliens bestowed powers beyond imagination upon me, I knew my purpose: to destroy everyone you care about, so that your world collapses around you. Only then will you see me, feel my pain, and realize that all your love should have been mine.
This is tragically beautiful.
Did you copy paste this from somewhere?
I think that’s just Ursula’s Lemmy account
Wrote a draft that I didn’t like and was gonna delete it when I got the idea to have ChatGPT improve it. This was the result.
That worked quite well, haha 😄
Here’s the prompt. ( It’s a quick draft from a none native English speaker. Please don’t laugh 😭) : I am writing an evil origin story for ursula from spiderman 2. Improve: My love for you didn’t falter. I always loved you peter parker, and I will always will. You made me into what I am today, a monster of pure jealousy and rage. When the aliens gave me powers beyond belief. I know i had to kill everyone you love, so I could harness their emotions and feel that love that should have been mine.
It’s funny, the finished product had me until the “when the aliens bestowed powers” bit. I thought “ok this fucking screams AI dungeon”.
I like it! Just to expand the possibilities, I’ll go a different direction:
Years ago, I was a shy naive girl that just wanted you attention, and maybe, your love. I didn’t get either. I served you hope, promise, and cookies. You returned a plate of apathy and dismissal. This is what you do, Peter. I also realized I wasn’t the first you did this to. I was just the latest in a long line of people that loved you, that you pushed away and destroyed. Despite the ideas of heroics and selflessness you wrap yourself in, you are quite the opposite. Your teenage selfishness killed your Uncle Ben. Just a few years later, a man took you under his wing like his own son and because of you, he became a villain the Green Goblin and you killed him too. Another poor man that showed you love, Dr. Otto Octavius, became the villain Doctor Octopus because of you. You couldn’t stop at destroying father figures. As young adult you had to betray your best friend and Harry Osborne became evil.
I suppose I should thank you. You taught me who you were, and I learned my purpose. I need to stop you from creating more villains in your wake. The world can’t take the evil you create. Your arrogance and hubris must stop. This sacred duty falls to me to destroy you.
Peter, I suppose I should introduce myself, even though we’ve certainly met before. You knew me before as Ursula. However now I am Oblivion. It is my fervent hope that you will finally join me in becoming nothingness.
It would be interesting having another villain who hates Peter Parker and Spider-Man, but doesn’t realize they’re the same person.
I feel like that was early Eddie Brock.
Unrequited love as a villain origin story would prime a thousand incels to be that villain. And that “tragedy” at the start of their lives would validate their Joker identity too.
Like Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog?
Unfortunately, the hammer was Joss Whedon’s attitude toward women all along
Super Trooper’s Ursula was the best Ursula.
Ursula K Le Guin #1 Ursula
Disney villain Ursula #2 Ursula
Not even close after that
I nominate Leslie Mann from George of the Jungle for #3 Ursula.
How about Saint Ursula and the 11,000 British Virgins?
Some women were given as property to some men, but before those men could claim them as property some other men murdered the women because they wouldn’t have sex.
And then the Catholic Church was like yes, we must hold this woman up as an example because women are more valuable to us as rotting meat than as non-virgins, this is sane and normal.
Uhhh… Is that about the gist?
Because I don’t think this story is gonna make the list. 😂
The inflatable doll or the actual woman?
Why not both?
Damn, she was good looking.
Legend has it she is still waiting
This hurts me and burns
I always disliked and was confused by her character because she and her dad deserved so much better than Peter Parker. If she’d met and hooked up with the Son of the Mask, two broken characters could have helped each other heal and eventually become friends. Instead she and Greener Gobliner got kicked around either emotionally or physically.
That series’ Peter Parker and MJ were whiny little shits who totally deserved each other’s misery.
Exactly.
