First time I’ve ever asked anyone to reblog something.
Reblog the hell out of this.
WOAH
shit son
holy… that’s a punch to the gut.
friendly neighborhood, indeed.

Guys- y’all know Andrew Garfield has been talking about how Peter Parker should be bisexual? He really did mean it, very much so, by all accounts. And he was keen for his love interest to be Michael B Jordan, and…Michael B Jordan auditioned for Harry.
assjdhdjfdsl;fg;l….
Guys. My OTP nearly became canon– I’d never have imagined that in a million years. Bloody hell.
And, much more importantly, there could have been a interracial bisexual romance in a mainstream superhero film, I have no idea how much influence Andrew Garfield actually holds over the Spider-Man franchise but he wanted that. Just imagine how big and how amazing, AMAZING, that would have been. Damn.
“And then, in 2010, Marvel Comics presented a Spider-Man (the ‘Ultimate’ version) who was 13 years old and brown. To see Spider-Man pulling his mask over a tiny brown chin – to see a boy with short curly hair sticking to the ceiling of his bedroom— well, something happened. Dagim has been Spider-Man for two Halloweens in a row. He takes a bath with his Spider-Man and a toy killer whale. He has Spider-Man toothpaste and a Spider-Man toothbrush. If Spider-Man offered medical coverage, I think he would want that, too.
………….
I thought for a while that my son would never be interested in my comics. I was afraid they would just represent another club he couldn’t join: all those big-jawed white guys with their hair parted to the side. But thanks to Spider-Man, my son imagines himself jumping on giant robots and saving the city. I hear him doing that behind the door of his room.”

Sometimes, you know people. You can just see what’s coming.
Does anyone remember that superhero franchise a few years back when a woman’s hopes, dreams and career were portrayed as JUST AS IMPORTANT as her relationships with the male characters
BECAUSE I DO AND IT WAS GLORIOUS
This also applies to Smallville and “Lois and Clark.”
But it will never stop annoying me that people hate on MJ so much in these movies when she clearly had her own ambitions and goals for her life outside of Peter. But she didn’t punch stuff. So guess she’s useless or something.
Aw yeah, I remember that franchise where a women’s choices and ambitions were RESPECTED and ENCOURAGED, as opposed to just sidelined to make way for the male character’s story. Seriously, this trilogy was EFFING GOLD.
I LOVE EVERYONE IN THIS THREAD
Also!
-Ursula having a crush on Peter, but not being in the least jealous of MJ and in fact actively encouraging him to call her
-Gwen interacting with Eddie in a way a Nice Guy like him would totally interpret as flirting, and yet it’s made perfectly clear that nothing Eddie does to ‘win’ her is remotely her fault, that he’s a creep and she’s totally innocent in the matter
-Aunt May being just as important to Peter as Uncle Ben is/was (she’s arguably the moral center of the movies, I reckon.)
-May and MJ being friends
-Gwen not taking any shit from Peter once she finds out he’s using her, and her sympathies lying firmly with MJ
(I know the Spider-trilogy isn’t perfect – I’m not sure it passes the Bechdel test, come to think of it- but it was still REALLLLLY GOOOOOOOD with what it did do.)
