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...

they really filled our childish heads with wild ideas about what was considered ugly.

[-] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 69 points 5 months ago

She was supposed to be ugly?

[-] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 65 points 5 months ago

Not really ugly, but less desirable than MJ.

[-] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Which is still completely accurate.

[-] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 41 points 5 months ago

depends on your tastes

NAW SON

[-] scrion@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

Hm, I don't see that.

[-] Anyolduser@lemmynsfw.com 27 points 5 months ago

Yeah, but like ... movie ugly. Like Ogbert, the nerd that nobody realizes is handsome until he takes off his glasses.

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 12 points 5 months ago

“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.”

[-] pelletbucket@lemm.ee 24 points 5 months ago

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

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

I personally prefer human faces, but to each their own!

[-] bizarroland@fedia.io 8 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

IDK about ugly. At least plain looking.

[-] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 34 points 5 months ago

"Braided ponytails? Ick!"

[-] pelletbucket@lemm.ee 23 points 5 months ago

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

[-] ianhclark510@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 5 months ago

Damn you oddly muscular Tobey Maguire

[-] pelletbucket@lemm.ee 4 points 5 months ago

lol I was thinking more about the Abercrombie posters but yeah

[-] kemsat@lemmy.world 33 points 5 months ago

I feel like they did that to Kathryn Hahn, who I thought was a total cutie, but they always cast her as “the friend.”

[-] pelletbucket@lemm.ee 32 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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

[-] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 66 points 5 months ago

Sounds like a great beginning for a supervillain origin story.

[-] Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 69 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] prof@infosec.pub 16 points 5 months ago

This is tragically beautiful.

Did you copy paste this from somewhere?

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 38 points 5 months ago

I think that's just Ursula's Lemmy account

[-] Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] prof@infosec.pub 4 points 5 months ago

That worked quite well, haha 😄

[-] Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] Jax@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago

It's funny, the finished product had me until the "when the aliens bestowed powers" bit. I thought "ok this fucking screams AI dungeon".

[-] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

It would be interesting having another villain who hates Peter Parker and Spider-Man, but doesn't realize they're the same person.

[-] Sculptor9157@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago

I feel like that was early Eddie Brock.

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 5 points 5 months ago

Like Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog?

[-] DrWeevilJammer@lemmy.ml 7 points 5 months ago

Unfortunately, the hammer was Joss Whedon's attitude toward women all along

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago

Super Trooper’s Ursula was the best Ursula.

[-] androogee@midwest.social 14 points 5 months ago

Ursula K Le Guin #1 Ursula

Disney villain Ursula #2 Ursula

Not even close after that

[-] graymess@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

I nominate Leslie Mann from George of the Jungle for #3 Ursula.

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. 😂

[-] gdog05@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

The inflatable doll or the actual woman?

[-] Lawnman23@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Why not both?

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 2 points 5 months ago

Damn, she was good looking.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 14 points 5 months ago

Legend has it she is still waiting

[-] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

This hurts me and burns

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 12 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] Jakdracula@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Exactly.
