Every time she says or does something I get the feeling she lived her entire life in a Truman show populated by robots until aunt may pulled her out of it
This dialogue actually works perfectly if you read all characters in the same exaggerated male 1950’s continental accent.
Her dialog here is written exactly how spider-man’s fight dialog in that era is. She excuses herself from an interaction with an overly-specific and obviously-phony excuse. Next she makes a silly crack about the giant hole in the wall to avoid having to make a serious angsty response to how bad the situation is. Then she makes an obviously backhanded remark using a colorful metaphor within direct earshot in an attempt to provoke her opponent.
That said, I’m not entirely sure whether this is due to of MJ trying to be like Spider-Man, Spider-Man trying to be like MJ, or lack of range on the part of the writers.
Yeah. It’s interesting how Spidey banter-like her speech is.

I recall that Spider-Man’s banter does pre-date MJ’s introduction, if not by much.
I think that. After a bunch of failed Spider-Man girlfriends, they wanted someone who more clearly fits with Spider-Man’s life, and wanted her to make a strong impact for fans - so she’s a bit over-written.
Omg you’re right. This changes everything with reading old comics lol
