I'm trying to wrap my head around what exactly happened here?

The woman on the left is one of the writers for the game, and she has a very similar facial structure to MJ in the Spider-Man 2 game. I'm trying to understand what happened here? Did they use the face model of Stephanie Jones then mold the facial structure to be similar to the writer, or is it just a coincidence?
Furthermore, how do we literally have no idea why female characters come out uglier than the supposed face model when the male characters look fine? We have theories, but nobody in the industry has even spoken about it, even anonymously.
There are no coincidences.
Oy vey, that's
anti-semiticmisogynistic.Even the chick on the left is more physically attractive. The MJ looks like the retarded version of that actress from American Horror Story to include simultaneously looking 60 and 30 at the same time.

I think the one on the right is better. She's like in-between the writer and the face model. It's a self-insert fantasy for her.
Not sure what's worse, this, or MJ being made.blaxk in the MCU.
Someone at the time said “well she wasn’t meant to be that Mary Jane”. They clearly knew what they were doing
I really miss when video games were made by White and Asian turbo-nerds.
Easy answer for this. The writing art and design teams have a lot of women in them nowadays.
Women like men - so they make the men very attractive. They are catty and jealous, however, so they don't want to put in attractive women because those attractive women make them insecure. So this is why modern games have bland uninteresting looking women but the men still look awesome.
I will never understand why pay more for a face model only to butcher it, wasting time and money, and the end result it looks nothing like the model it was based on. In this case it looks more like the writer or whatever the fuck so why waste everyone's time with advertising with a paid model? Also fuck their excuses when you have properly made models like those from the resident evil franchise and death stranding. Whatever happen to the female characters coming out ugly as hell is deliberate like aloy from that horizon game.
Because the entire industry is a clusterfuck of nepotism and someone wanted to give their friend some extra cash.
I thought this MJ was a shitpost the first time someone posted it. Second time too. I can't believe it's real. It's so ugly, even by modern standards.
someone's work girlfriend gives really good head
Well they claim to be a woman at least
This is the obvious answer. As a writer she can't insert herself more than dialogue.
Bonus diversity points for the rainb-O in the Insomniac logo on the shirt. On that point, are we sure that is a woman? It seems like a very strong jawline.
Apparently they also made Blackcat gay in the new game? So it fits with their modus operandi to basically add globohomo to every aspect of their game.
Of course they fucking did. Stupid assholes. Having another possibile love interest other than "Very Plain" up there would be out of the question.
That's the first thing that came to mind. They usually take the pretty ones and gay them up to further demoralise the public... it's essentially a giant ESG message that reads, "Pretty women aren't interested in straight males, bigot!!!!"
Birth control pills contain andrgynes that have a masculinizing effect on women who take them since they were teens.
Mary Jane or Mary Sue?
Manny Jaw.
Weird face, she looks like a Goldeneye character.
Nope. Not inclusive enough. The "broader audience" will not rest until every red-head has been made black.
Why did they change her eye colour?
these ugly fucks usually have a cutesy/pretty cartoon profile or avatar pic. ie.. like The Feminist Frequency.
Cheeseburgers.
Lots of cheeseburgers.
Now an actual face-to-face comparison with both of them looking straight at the camera.
The right one looks like a Wayan brothers doing white face, by the way. And the left one you instantly dislike, because you know she's an opinionated arse.
4/10 man jaw women is new standard for female characters in gaming
Don't know why anyone would ever want to play MJ. She's the most unlikable character in all of spider-man. She gets off on psychological torturing Peter and we're supposed to take her side.
Back in my day, in the comics, she was there to look hot, fuck Peter, and occasionally be damsel in distress.
Proud to self insert herself
I remember people saying the same about Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft, and then later we get the boxed shaped plain Lara in the recent film and trilogy of games
That reminds me of how important context is. You can walk into a room of people watching a film and say "Kirsten Dunst is fucking sexy" as long as the film that's playing is Spiderman not Interview with the Vampire
