No writer is going to actively come out and say he is not gay. That would be a nightmare for Marvel. They will just do the current thing of not actually doing anything with the idea.

That is basically it yeah. Or you have the same issue like in the 80s were editorial is like "nope", but it will be years before we hear anything about that.

Squizzle posted:

That part of the contract specifically allows Spider-Man to be gay if Marvel has portrayed him as such, which, for comparison, the "grew up in Queens" and "raised by Aunt May and Uncle Ben" parts don't allow. The leaked contract provisions indicate a particular concern about keeping the critical influences of his upbringing and early experiences faithful to the established mythos. Sexual orientation is a p. significant aspect of forming one's identity, especially for a character with so much teenage romantic melodrama.

A queer Spider-Man would be swell, but the "Peter Parker: a straight dude" provision is entirely consonant with the rest of that leaked section of contract.

Eh you can have the melodrama either way, none of it's really that tied to orientation.

Yeah it could work for X and mags but it would not work for how cap and Bucky are usually depicted.

It's weird looking at them as 90% of the punchlines are the word gay. Like not even anything about. Being gay just the word itself.
