See the character in the comic books, isnt a pansexual.
Why should the movie version be differnt? just because? it breaks character.
Doing something like this would hurt sales of the movie to much.
I dont mind there being pansexuals in movies, just as long as its not a character with a long rich history (from books/comics/tv/movies ect where he isnt).
Make a differnt super hero movie instead, one where the hero happends to already be pansexual in the comic books. |
How do we know that? We know he has feelings for certain women, but that's all. There are people who (at least claim to) discover that they're attracted to the same sex (or maybe even the opposite sex) much later in their lives.
It's not like we know that he's black and in the movie he's white.
Anyway, I think it'd be awesome as a storyline, if done right, though I don't see that ever happening. He's too popular, especially with kids, and unfortunately it'd hurt the brand.

We know that because in 40 years of comic books, Peter Parker has been attracted to many different women (Gwen Stacy, Betty Bryant, Mary Jane, Carlie Cooper, Felicia Hardy, etc) and no men. We are privy to Spider-man's inner thoughts, so he wouldn't be hiding it. Telepaths and even Doctor Octupus have taken over his mind, and none of them picked up on any homosexual urges.
Now Spider-man has never said "ewwwww boys are gross and I definitely don't like sucking penis", because that would be unnecessary and homophobic. But we can say with about 99.99999999% certainty that he is not gay. If you think there is any realistic possibility he is gay, you need to read some comics or get your head checked.
And no, it would not be a good storyline. A superhero dealing with his sexuality could be a good storyline. A character with no history of sexual attraction to males suddenly waking up gay would be a nonsensical storyline. Yes, people come to terms with being gay later in life, but I've known gay people, and I've known gay people that had been closeted, and I've never heard of any of them just all of the sudden going "well... I usually like vagina, but I'm kind of in the mood for a penis today." Generally its "I always felt something for guys but I wasn't honest with what it was". It would make literally no sense. Not to mention it would shoehorn in a conflict that didn't exist before. And if you say it wouldn't or shouldn't be a conflict, then it would be pointless.

First of all, if you want to have a mature conversation with anyone, you should avoid insults. As you can see, I'm not responding in kind.
Second "we can say with about99.99999999% certainty that he is not gay". No we cannot. It's not that simple and percentages really mean nothing if not backed by evidence. In this case, you'd need a scene in the comics (that is cannon, not a parallel universe) where he's really old and he talks to someone like Jean Grey (who is actively reading hsi mind) and tells her he never had any feelings for men. Also, bear in mind, I said he could be bisexual/pansexual, not gay.
You seem to have a very limited understanding of sexuality and that's fine. You may wanna educate yourself or keep your current thoughts, but I can tell you that just because you've known gay people, it doesn't mean you know everything there is to know. With limited knowledge, you are bound to make generalizations. Also, I was not referring to closeted cases; neither was I talking about Parker wanting to have sex with a man. Sexuality is not only about sex.
The story could be something as simple as Peter in his teens spending time with a new friend and developing feelings for him. He can have feelings for a man and a woman and show us how he's questioning his sexuality. This is not unheard of for people in their teens. Even if he does end up realizing that he's bi/pansexual, it doesn't mean that he must have had a relationship with a guy later on.
