UPDATED: make-up and Emo Parker! Catch a glimpse of Shailene Woodley in her Mary-Jane Watson hair for The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Pics, Tweets, and snippets of news and teases have been rolling in from the production of THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 and today is no different. Actress Shailene Woodley (THE DESCENDANTS) has been spotted on the New York set, rocking some long, red locks that look fitting enough for her character, Mary-Jane Watson, the longest-running love interest for Peter Parker/Spider-Man. Mary-Jane's appearance in the film could mean any number of things as the continuity of the newly rebooted series, directed by Marc Webb, has taken quite a few "Walking Dead" liberties in adapting the source material.
Woodley is an attractive young lady, no doubt, although many have savaged these pics already as her not being "hot enough." Based on the pics, it seems like she was caught walking to the set or just around town, and probably yet to visit the hair and make-up truck, so it's a little early to start going Rex Reed on the girl. I think she's an interesting choice and will reserve my judgment until she's been properly presented to us.
Take a gander:

I'm much more optimistic for this sequel. I didn't much care for the first one, but now that it's out of the way and with things so out of the ordinary in terms of story, I'm interested to see where they're going to go with this. The new Spidey suit is definitely a step in the right direction, in my opinion, so it's a start.
What do you guys think of Woodley as MJ?

UPDATE: Well, I think it's pretty clear that the lovely Shailene hadn't made it to make-up yet when the above shots were taken as these are much more becoming of the actress, who shot some scenes with Andrew Garfield today. Take a look and see if your mind is swayed. Personally, I think there's been some really harsh commentary with the above pics, but hey, that's the way the Internet goes.
I'm more concerned with Emo Peter Parker's pants than I am with Shailene's make-up...

"...Emo-Parker's Pants..."
Seriously, this is hardly even a phrase in use anymore. Regardless, they're pants. That's it.
Moreover, Garfield looks good in them. Get over it.
Woodley seems totally miscast as MJ. While she wasn't ideal, I think Dunst conveyed far more charm in the part.
Woodley is bland.
And this is gauging from just appearances...

Say What?
And to think people criticized Raimi's version for not being authentic enough and too cheesy.

Woof
Way to go!
She looks like Andrew Garfield's sister. Jezus fucking Kryst. Sloppy sloppy sloppy casting.

Hmmm
But to sum up, does she feel like an MJ from what we have seen so far.... truthfully, not really. :L

Tough crowd?
BTW, I want to acknowledge one thing. Besides being goody-goody, this comment is also somewhat hypocritical. Occasionally, I have excoriated Hollywood folks in these Strikebacks, and those targets have been real people with real feelings too. I would argue that those comments were somewhat fair to make, but. . . . . I don't know. I read the thread, and I felt bad for Ms. Woodley. Hopefully, she does stumble upon this discussion sometime.
Bleech
Hmmmm
she's usually gorgeous, what is this?
Even her makeup and Photoshop pic looks like they found the blandest wallflower in the Banana Republic stock photo pile. There are a lot of young, stunning redheaded actresses out there to choose from, and they chose this one? Well, given how bad Webb's first crack at the series was, this definitely means I'm skipping this installment in theaters...even if I get another free pass to see it.

I Didn't See The Amazing Spiderman Till Blu-Ray and...
Seriously? What the Fuck!
Not good..
More like Plain Jane. She looks like Channing Tatum
So what happened?
Holy Cow!
For instance Mary Elizabeth Winstead would have made for a great choice.
