That's cool but first we need something more than just white and black heroes. There's a world of people and the only thing in the future seems to be Shang-chi.

Asked by the Times if he would be okay with Peter Parker/Spider-Man being gay, Holland said, Yeah, of course.

I cant talk about the future of the character because honestly I dont know and its out of my hands, Holland continued.

Is not quite the same as "I want Spider-Man to be gay", it's more "sure, I'd play a gay Spider-Man if the higher ups decided that's what they wanted"

Whereas Andrew Garfield pitched his fantasy of gay Peter Parker dating a new character played by Michael B Jordan

TBH they did this in the comics and it is even more annoying.

IIRC There are like 4 or 5 different Spider people running around, also like 3 Wolverines?

Can anyone who doesn't read comics name Captain America's love interest? What about Thor's? Hulk? Most anyone here can name one or more love interests of Peter Parker. And there's a reason for that.

We think we like Spider-Man because he jumps, swings from webs, and cracks jokes. But if we're honest with ourselves, it is a love story at heart. Whether he's pursuing Mary Jane Watson or Gwen Stacy, Spider-Man is a story about a geek who becomes somebody and gets the girl. It's basically Twilight for boys. (And with slightly better writing.)

Making him gay isn't as arbitrary a change as it would be for most superheroes. Captain America makes out with Falcon? It's business as usual only Cap's taken his friendship to the next level. Spider-Man suddenly likes dudes? The whole story has changed because the story heretofore has been built around his love for a girl.

I'm all for progress, but I'm not about treating stories as political tools whose only significance is being a vehicle for a greater cause. If a straight character is made gay, that's fine. But don't seek out a specific character to be the bastion of progress when you know you're changing what makes them who they are. If you need to reveal a character is gay, don't make it the guy who's had six girlfriends and two marriages. Make it the guy with the bland or non-existent love interest. People watch movies for characters, not important life lessons.

Progress needs to flow with a story, not get in the way of it.

To be fair, they've changed Spider-Man so much in the MCU at this point that I wouldn't even be surprised if it turned out him and Flash had the hots for each other.

You make it sound like it's not Skys's whole personality to be fucking weird about fictional women, especially in comic book movies or Japanese games.

TC:

Actual Article:

Wow tc. Way to overreact.
There is a difference between being asked by a reporter okay if the MCU hypothetically made the change and personally asking for that change.

But ya know. Whatever gets the clicks.

And then the excuse will be "It's what Stan would have wanted" as they repeat the lie that he created the X-Men as commentary on civil rights.
