* AdaptationalVillainy: In the comics, Harry's decision to become the new Green Goblin after his father's death was partly because of being psychologically unstable after being a drug addict for some time.

To be fair, his "hallucinations" about the Green Gobin's likely had a role in this.

In the films, MJ couldn't confide in any of her high school friends or then-boyfriend about her dysfunctional family, and while she and Peter were friendly with each other, she didn't really start opening up to him until towards the end of senior year, making her much more emotionally isolated during this time. Also, Ultimate MJ's mother kicked her father out while she was still in high school, which didn't happen in the movies until much later.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance:
** She's the very first character introduced in the trilogy (Peter was narrating). In the comics, MJ was famously TheGhost, then TheFaceless prior to her introduction.
** She's also Peter's first introduced love interest in the films and his first girlfriend in general, whereas in the comics, Peter had been with Betty Brant, Liz Allan, and Gwen Stacy by the time he and MJ finally got together.
* AdaptationalWimp: Another thing that got lost by turning her into a CompositeCharacter. Not only is MJ rarely kidnapped in the comics, but when she is, she's a DamselOutOfDistress more often than not, sometimes even ending with a RescueReversal. However, she gets kidnapped so many times in these films that, for people not familiar with her comic book counterpart, she's a poster girl of the DamselInDistress trope. Only in ''Spider-Man 3'' does she more resemble her comic book counterpart when it comes to how she handles her captivity.[[note]]Ironically, she was more of an ActionSurvivor / HeroicBystander in the original script for ''Spider-Man 1'', as MJ helps Spider-Man in the final battle by jamming one of Goblin's bombs into his glider. Raimi had also promised Dunst she wouldn't have to be the damsel in the third film, and made her a DamselOutOfDistress to compensate for the ExecutiveMeddling.[[/note]]
** MJ's Ultimate Marvel counterpart also lived with her father longer, but her ordeal was at least mitigated by her having a reliable social circle, particularly Peter.

When did this happen? Context is important, especially since both Peter and MJ were bad at communicating their feelings in that film.
