Completely agree with Stan Lee on this. Characters should stay who they are, try and change that and you are just ruining a character. If wou want characters with different sexualities or ethnicities or whatever just create new ones, don't ruin the ones that already exist.

Well, here is some food for though. Most of the superhero characters went through changes and reboots and storylines that are drastically different from each other. After and way before they started making movies and TV shows out the comics. So why stop now? 

I don't see how expanding Spider-man's sexuality is a big deal. If anything, he is that kind of a guy. "Hey guys! I kissed a boy and I liked it!". 

Didn't say I agree with any past changes/reboots or whatever. In fact, I disagree with all of them.

They still happen though. This isn't a bigger deal than any other of the other changes they have made so far in my opinion. Besides, lots of people like the changes and some think they are necessary even.

 

Personally, I think seeing a character with that kind of international appeal, like spider-man, promoting openess and untraditional values to kids everywhere is a great thing. If done right of course. Make it a casual thing that happens during the movie and move on. What's the harm?
