Stan Lee: Spider-man is not allowed to be bisexual, Andrew Garfield tried to make him bi so I had his movies cancelled and forbid any future spider-men from being written as bi or gay.
Tom Holland: Cool. Here is a list of male coworkers and characters I personally want to fuck.
Why y’all gotta lie about shit so much
Sony was responsible for all that, as shown in the e-mail leaks, and it’s pretty boilerplate shit about a character they wanna get protectionist about, and includes conditions like him not being depicted drinking alcohol or smoking cigarettes. Cause guess what? Gay characters don’t sell overseas and a gay Spider-Man would get a film banned in places like China.
Stan Lee ain’t said diddly about it in that regard and he hasn’t controlled Spider-Man’s depiction for LITERAL DECADES. He just gives what’s essentially polite suggestions or how HE envisioned Spider-Man.
Also Andrew Garfield’s interpretation is entirely a personal one. It’s not something endorsed by Sony, or the writers and the Amazing Spider-Man films didn’t have any sequels after 2 cause….Well. It flopped.
And honestly? I saw it. Amazing Spider-Man 2 was BAAAAAAAAAD. It was a bad movie, which was sort of a shame cause Andrew Garfield had a neat spin on him and played Peter Parker very well in my opinion.
Marvel is much the same way as Sony, in that they gotta get their films into China and more conservative markets that would either outright ban, censor or wouldn’t go for a film with a gay character in it.
Why the fuck you gotta lie? Why the fuck you lyin about a 91 fuckin year old man? What’s wrong with you people? How the fuck does this have almost 20k notes? All y’all make me sick. Fuck you.
