Sounds like a great beginning for a supervillain origin story.
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.
This is tragically beautiful.
Did you copy paste this from somewhere?
I think that's just Ursula's Lemmy account
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.
That worked quite well, haha 😄
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.
It's funny, the finished product had me until the "when the aliens bestowed powers" bit. I thought "ok this fucking screams AI dungeon".
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.
It would be interesting having another villain who hates Peter Parker and Spider-Man, but doesn't realize they're the same person.
I feel like that was early Eddie Brock.
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.

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