And so I actually really wanted Amy Pascal from Sony to be my girlfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tomei claimed the massive transformation in the nature of the character could be understated, saying, \u201cI was like, \u2018No one even has to know, Amy. I\u2019ll just be in a scene and you\u2019ll be over there. And I\u2019ll just be like \u2018Hey!\u2019 It\u2019ll just be a subtle thing.\u201d But she concluded by admitting that no one at Sony or Marvel \u201cwent for it at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While a few people on social media cheered the idea of Peter Parker\u2019s aunt becoming a lesbian, Tomei\u2019s suggestion received plenty of negative pushback from fans.<\/p>\n<p>Conservative rapper and pundit Eric July <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EricDJuly\/status\/1475596291866611722?s=20\">commented<\/a> on Twitter, \u201cHollywood brainlet, Marisa Tomei wanted MCU \u2018Aunt May\u2019 to be lesbian, because \u2018Ben was gone anyways.\u2019 These people have no idea who these characters are. Stop giving Marvel the benefit of the doubt just because they nostalgia-baited you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And as <a href=\"https:\/\/boundingintocomics.com\/2021\/12\/27\/marisa-tomei-reveals-she-wanted-to-make-aunt-may-a-homosexual-in-spider-man-franchise\/\">Bounding Into Comics<\/a> first reported, novelist, comic book creator, and YouTuber Jon Del Arroz had a particularly scathing reaction. \u201cWell, everybody was just cheering that the \u2018Spider-Man: No Way Home\u2019 movie was safe. They weren\u2019t going to put any [social justice warrior] stuff in it and that makes it great. Let\u2019s applaud,\u201d he said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/0WEu6ooa-no\">video response<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He went on:<\/p>\n<p><em>Of all characters to do that, to have a traditional character like Aunt May being pushed in that direction is really just a slap in the face to everybody. A trying to rewrite Spider-Man history just to stick a middle finger at you, the fan.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>That\u2019s what these people do every single time. They have no respect for any of the creations before. They have no respect for the way any of these characters were. And they just want to subvert and destroy everything they touch. Every single time.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>To Del Arroz\u2019s point, recent years have seen both Marvel the studio and the comic book publisher alter characters as they were originally created to transform them into LGBT representatives. Last year, for instance, the comic company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gaytimes.co.uk\/culture\/marvel-confirms-guardians-of-the-galaxys-star-lord-is-bisexual\/\">announced<\/a> that Guardians of the Galaxy\u2019s Peter Quill (aka Star-Lord) is bisexual. Both the studio and the publisher made the same <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/film\/taika-waititi-wants-to-explore-valkyries-queerness-in-thor-love-and-thunder-2608863\">transformation<\/a> with Thor\u2019s Valkyrie. And in October, the studio unveiled its first gay superhero with \u201cEternals\u201d Phastos. The movie went on to become the second box office bomb in Marvel\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<p>The latest Spider-Man, in contrast, made no changes to appeal to wokeness. The movie went on to break box office records, scoring the second highest-grossing debut in U.S. history.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
