http://now.msn.com/gay-spider-man-considered-by-andrew-garfield-actor?ocid=ansnowex

 

"Spider-Man" star Andrew Garfield has a controversial suggestion about how to update the classic character: make Spidey gay. The actor told Entertainment Weekly he's had lengthy "philosophical" discussions with film producers about switching the gender of Peter Parker's girlfriend Mary Jane, aka M.J. (played by Garfield's real-life girlfriend Emma Stone). "What if M.J. is a dude?" Garfield mused. "Why can't we discover that Peter is exploring his sexuality?  It's hardly even groundbreaking!" Garfield even knows who he wants to play his onscreen boyfriend: "The Wire" star  Michael B. Jordan." Hes so charismatic and talented," Garfield gushed. Sounds like someone's got a crush."

 

All I got to say is :|

First thing first, Emma Stone plays Gwen Stacey not Mary Jane.

So that's all I have to say about that.

I didn't even watch the new Spider-Man movie and I know that Emma Stone played Gwen Stacy, not Mary Jane.

Also, apparently Andrew Garfield is an idiot.

Whoever wrote that did a piss poor job getting their facts. MJ should show up in the next one though. Andrew Garfield is so so wrong. I would not be comfortable watching Spiderman "explore his sexuality".

First off, let me say that I don't even have a problem with gay superheroes. I'm not even necessary against the idea of Spider-Man discovering that he's gay. But the obvious question is why? Sure, they CAN make M.J. a dude and have Spider-Man be gay. But what would be the point? What would be the reason? How would that add to the story or make the story more compelling or better help to explore Spider-Man's character? Would there literally be any reason for doing that at all, aside from generating cheap publicity?

No, it's a huge issue when a well-established character is turned gay. If they want a gay superhero, then they can create a whole new character...not Spider-Man.

I have nothing against gays, or gay characters (when written well)

But I'm annoyed when ever X tries to make or interpret Y character as gay when they are not(especially with cases like Peter Parker when they clearly are not!)

It the Frodo & Sam debacle all over again.

I don't care about that too much. Comic book continuity is generally pretty f***ed a lot of the time anyway, and comic book companies routinely start over with new and different versions of older characters. And then movies change things up even more by getting rid of characters, adding characters, drastically changing characters, or even mashing multiple characters together into one character. The fact that it's a big change doesn't concern me, that's par for the course. I'm just saying that IF they're going to make such changes, it should probably be for an actual reason. And here I'm sort of failing to see the reason for making Spider-Man gay. Sure, I guess they CAN do it, but why would they?

Now, seriously, other than pointing out the obvious Mary Jane/Gwen Stacy mistake, it would take one heck of a man to follow Emma Stone. She's to us men what Ryan Gosling is to women or something.

It's just a case of another celebrity talking just to hear his voice.  It's like Mr. Geezer said--they COULD make him gay, but some valid reason would be nice if they did decide to go down that route, which I seriously doubt that they will.

Would you say a movie about Elton John where he is straight Christian male with a love interest would be considered acceptable? I certainly wouldn't think so.

I'm moreso targeting the "I won't ever buy spiderman anything again" line. I don't want Spiderman to be gay either because thats not his character, but swearing off everything spiderman because of one film is stupid.

It's stupid. Gay superheroes are fine and Spiderman could be gay in an alternate comic or something, but you just can't change an established character like that when doing something that's supposed to be the "real thing". It would be like making Batman have superpowers or Superman have a crush on Lex.

It would be an interesting take on Spiderman, and I believe some superheroes have been given the gay treatment over the years throughout comic book history so to say he shouldn't be gay because he wasn't gay before is sort of ridiculous.

In fact, all male superheroes should be gay, especially Batman. I mean, come on, he hangs out with a guy in spandex named Robin. I'm going to get flamed for this. :P

Yeah. There's no point getting all crazy over it. It's just some eccentric actor giving his opinion. It's not like the studio is considering it.

Why dont we just make Spiderman an asian transvestite, and MJ a Black Man? We could appeal to the LGBT group, and minorities. Hurray for diversity :roll: Cant we just leave spiderman alone? He's a dude, M.J. is a girl.

Seriously I have nothing against gay people. Hell, it'd be cool if there was a GOOD homosexual superhero. However, this is just stupid. It's nothing but an annoying attempt to push equal treatment of gay people. Don't be messin' with superheroes in such a way. Fanboys would be pissed off to no end.
