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.

Yeah, people are taking it way too seriously.  He's not even expressly saying he wants Spidey to be gay.  He's just saying it could be an interesting concept.  For some reason people think everything a celebrity said is some carefully orchestrated statement.  Likely this was just a silly conversation he was having.  I'm sure we've all had funny hypothetical convos with our friends about fictional things.

If they make a different version of the character that would be fine. I don't know why you would do that for one of the established Spider Man characters.

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.Nibroc420

well they did make Ultimate Spiderman a black teen

[QUOTE="MrGeezer"]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?percech
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.

This. I choose to not watch movies that do this crap for no reason but cheap publicity or misguided PR. Make a good superhero movie where the hero is gay, but you didn't have mess with an icon and I'll go watch it without problem. Do this stupid crap and i'm gone. I would be just as mad if they made Northstar straight or Storm a white woman. I guess at the end of the day the only reason it's a deal to me is that they thought it was a big deal enough to mess with it in the first place, and that usually means it's because some group somewhere cried hard enough.

....I had to check to make sure this wasn't an article from th onion. This obviously isn't going to happen ,but if it did I imagine it would alienate a lot of fans of the comics and movies. Its not even the fact that they would change the character into a homosexual that would cause a backlash. It would be such a drastic character change to the character that I don't think fans of the character would be okay with it.

Spiderman always was a bit gay anyway. What I'm trying to say is... he wasn't a manly fella.

They created a black spiderman to appeal to minorities, so it makes sense to create a spiderman that unites us sexually as well.

I don't have a problem making any character any sexual preference. I do have a problem with going against canon. And I don't think Spidey likes the sausage.

I don't see the big deal. They change up comic book stuff all the time. There was a black spiderman. Oracle can walk in the new 52. Superman was in the USSR in Superman: Red Son.

Making this happen in the sequel to Amazing Spiderman would be stupid, but having it be in a new continuity I would be fine with.

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.tagyhag
Funny thing: Lex Luthor was originally a mad scientist type character. It wasn't until the 80s that he became the businessman we know him as today.

Reminds me of how certain folks went mad when Daniel Craig made mention of a Black Bond after Obama became president. Really people, chill out.

I mean comic books are always reimagining characters, so from that perspective I don't see a problem. But we don't really need another Spiderman movie, they should do movies about cooler superheroes...

This reminds me of a very weird Youtube video I watched years ago. Spiderman was lying on his back, tied up. He had this this raging big boner pointing towards his stomach and it was very tight against the spidersuit. Then there was that black Spiderman stimulating Spiderman's penis by using an electric toothbrush... I'm fairly sure this video has been removed since then though...

I can see it now; Hollywood bringing back another iteration of Batman, Spiderman, Wolverine, and more, but this time with a side of sweaty man on man sex scenes with the main protagonists. 

You go, Andrew.

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".wolverine4262

Seriously. Who the fvck wants to watch a superhero movie about a superhero exploring their sexuality. This doesn't even have anything to do with being for or against gay rights or anything like that. It's just a stupid fvcking idea, that would make a terrible movie. Such a movie would also be a flawless example of gay culture being haphazardly jammed into a film, just to push the acceptance agenda, with no regard for the integrity or identity of the film itself. You want a gay superhero? Go make up a new superhero. Don't say you weren't warned though, when the movie is shit because the character focus is more about him being gay than about him being a superhero.

They should do it. It's not a bad thing to change the source material to make it more original. It probably wouldn't help it at the box office though since there's likely homophobic people that would boycott it.

This. Make spiderman gay, I don't care. But if you're going to do that, at least have a legitimate reason for it beyond creating controversy.

I have nothing against gay people or gay super heroes, In fact im all for gay equality and all that jazz, but dont shoe-horn it into everything. Peter Parker is heterosexual. Leave him heterosexual. There are gay super heroes out there, just make a movie about them. That's like saying "Yo, we should make Superman black, to study his character!" Yeah, thats could be cool for one of those "what if?" scenario comics (Like the one where Superman landed in communist Russia rather than the US, that was pretty cool), but don't make such drastic changes in a movie, cause the majority of people watching the movies aren't the hardcore comic crowd which has read all the comics. Its the casual comic fans, who have heard of superman but probably never touched a superman comic before.

Yeah of course, it has nothing to do with the fact that it'd be shitting on a half a century long legacy, it's all about homophobic people who would boycott it.
