I think it’s time for a gay-midget-Latino spiderman.

[cripplecreek]

Whoa black spidey

bam ba lam

Let’s just make all of our superheroes black, gay, and transgendered and get it over with.

Some echoed the infuriatingly ignorant responses that framed Morales’s creation four years ago as an effort of the Obama press corps, asked why Marvel wouldn’t make Morales a “dyslexic homosexual too,” and stated, “Spidey’s dead to me.”

At least Marvel left out transgender...

Who cares? Let the audience decide. Of course if the film flops, they can always pull the “racism card” and get an academy award for being so brave.

So he'll lie in his bed at night cursing Dog.

For folks who bitch so much about “white privilege”, they don’t waste any time coming up with their own stuff, they just look at what whites do, bitch about it, then copy it, then bitch some more when their franchise of the same idea, flops.

[Yashcheritsiy]

Jonté Washington?

[null and void]

A black female(?) spiderman.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Hey, it’s Stan Lee...so what would one expect?

[skeeter]

I hear Hollywood is remaking ‘Shaft’ casting Toby McQuire in the lead role.

[UCANSEE2]

Next up, the remake of SHAFT with Liam Neeson in the starring role.

[LostInBayport]

I can see it now:

"Hands up! Don't shoot!"

[a fool in paradise]

That's so 80s.

[Sgt_Schultze]

Uh oh. Sharpton called for this years ago - watch

[BitWielder1]

If race doesn't matter, why does it matter so much?

[razorback-bert]

Spiderperson should be an Asian lesbian.

I thought DC only had taken a nosedive into the abyss with their stuck on stupid leadership.

Must be a sony thing since sony controls spiderman.

The fundamental problem with going the Miles Morales route is that the backstory still requires Peter Parker.

So, given that this new attempt at Spiderman will tie in with the Marvel movies (starting with Captain America: Civil War) how does that all work in a way that isn’t seriously convoluted and utterly confusing? Do the Garfield or McGuire movies act as some sort of ‘vague history’ to the new effort? Does Parker appear only to get quickly killed so the role can be taken over? Do they start with a completely new Spiderman that ignores both Parker and Morales?

Or do they stick to the Peter Parker character and do what is being done with the Johnny Storm/Human Torch character in Fantastic Four and make him Black or Hispanic?
