Worst agenda driven MCU movie before Captain Marvel trash.

Spidermans friend: SouthEast Asia
Spidermans wannabe girlfriend: black
Spidermans uncle: Is neither alive nor mentioned.
Spidermans mysterious friend: Hispanic
Even the guy coming from the bathroom: Chinese

On the other side: Bad guy: old white man

And yep, The Washington monument: done by slaves (yes, thats a important fact within a "superhero" movie).

Peter himself is all neither leader of the group nor is he not dominated by woman/girls for the whole movie (beside indeed when he played Superdog for Iron Man).

This isnt a Spiderman movie. Its a perfect example of "Get woke, go broke"

The main actor who plays the hero is white. The co-star who plays the villain is white. The supporting actors are mixed in a movie that takes place in a city that is demonstrably mixed. You are cherry-picking to fit your stupid narrative.

Spiderman is white. There way no way to make him black. And yes, the bad buy is indeed white. BTW Noone at the school which Peter know was white!

You mentioned one Southeast Asian.
You mentioned one black person.
You mentioned one Hispanic person.
You mentioned some random guy from the bathroom is Chinese.

Yet you admit there are two white people (three counting Aunt May).

You are cherry-picking to fit your stupid narrative.

The aunt is a white female. The uncle (which is the major point in Spidermans development) isnt even mentioned! There are exactly 2 white lead roles in this movie. One for the box office (Iron Man) and one is the bad guy!

You must be incredible stupid to betray yourself on that topic. This is a agenda movie as much as a agenda movie could be done. That included the fact, that this isnt even a Spiderman movie. Its "Iron Mans pet doenst have the smallest motivation to become a superhero" movie.

Spidey is white. Aunt May is white. Vulture is white. Tony Stark is also white but its not relative as he is not a resident of Queens. If there's an agenda then what is it? To say that Queens is diverse? Queens literally IS diverse.

[–] Quint (935) 5 years ago

Aunt MAy has no husband!!! He was simply removed. Thats like removing Bruce Waynes parents! There is so much hate for white and especially white men in this movie.

And yes, the bad guy is a old white man. Thats what I already stated. And if Black Panther would have been already a thing back then this wouldnt be "IronMans pet" movie, but instead "Black Panthers pet" movie. The mentor was there only for box office reason, cause Marvel themselves knew that this pet movie wont be interesting for anyone.

And diverse means that it includes every skin color and nation. And not exclude the major race of that area! Thats racism and thats what you are supporting here.

I'm confused on your inclusion of the uncle not being mentioned in your list... What agenda on earth could you misconstrue that as driving?

You seem to be stuck in a different time it seems.. You gotta change with time otherwise you end up posting such meaningless posts

Today's Queens and the neighbourhood are about as diverse as they can get which is being reflected in the movie. Also the movie going audience has diversified and knowing your audience is one of the main rules for any form of media.

One could argue that the comics back in those days were agenda driven and made all the major characters white. But that would again be stupid because those were different times too when the comics originated

People just need to chill out
