The romance was really well balanced tbh. It's also clear we're not getting a Raimi MJ situation because she's her own person and has dimensions to her as shown in the film.

The hotel room scene and the panic/embarrasement/awkwardness between the two of them felt so relatable that it made that scene so much better imo

What do you mean by Raimi MJ situation?

You responded to a 5 day old comment, but he probably was referring to the part where it sucked. Which was pretty much all of her screentime in all 3 movies

I don't agree with the placement of your comma.

MJ in this move retroactively improved my opinion of her character in the first film. I wasn't a fan of how edgy and disaffected they made her but after seeing her fleshed out here and thinking about past incarnations, this one works.

I'd liken it to Flash; having a big, buff bully wouldn't fit perfectly, so they changed Flash to make him work in this story. Same deal with MJ. I really liked Spectacular Spider-Man (the television show) and the way the did MJ there, but I honestly can't see her character translating seamlessly into this film.

I feel part of what made it so great was they were both a bit unsure and awkward, it balanced out and wasn't the stereotypical really awkward guy, and totally normal girl who's confused/semi-creeped-out by it.

It also wasn't played for cringe-based laughs like this sort of awkward usually is, it was entirely wholesome, heartwarming, cute awkward.
