Stan Lee memorably once said that the “greatest thing about Spider-Man is that anyone could be under the costume.” He also stressed that Marvel’s stories “have room for everyone, regardless of their race, gender or color of their skin… The only things we don’t have room for are hatred, intolerance, and\u00a0bigotry.\u201d This is all to say that Spider-Man is one of the “wokest” of all pop culture heroes, which is perhaps why some comments from Marvel’s latest Spidey star have caused such backlash.<\/p>\n

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man<\/a><\/strong> <\/em>voice actor Hudson Thames \u2014 who is stepping into the shoes of Tom Holland for this MCU-adjacent animated series \u2014 managed to singlehandedly change the tide of goodwill towards the new show with one far too candid sentence. In an interview<\/a>, Thames threatened to flush his reputation down the river when he admitted that he once feared the series would be “annoying and woke” due to its diverse cast of characters. <\/p>\n

When asked if he was excited to be part of a fresh take on Spider-Man, which paired Peter with the likes of Nico Minoru (an Asian-American out lesbian), Lonnie Lincoln (an African-American teen who deals with everyday racism in the show), and Norman Osborn (here portrayed as Black, voiced by Colman Domingo), Thames had something shocking to say. <\/p>\n

“I thought it was awesome. I mean, my biggest fear was that it was gonna be annoying and woke, and it wasn’t, and I was like, ‘Yes, this is great, it’s so well written,’ like it feels real,” the 30-year-old actor said. “I’m the oldest of five boys, so I feel like I kind of know what’s happening in their lives and in high school, and it felt like it was doing that justice.”<\/p>\n

Needless to say, Spider-Man fans haven’t been this furious since Gwen Stacy died. Given that Thames’ concerns over how “woke” his show would clash with virtually everything the wallcrawler has stood for 60 years, the fandom is now treating him with all the vitriol of J. Jonah Jameson on a bad day.<\/p>\n

Stan Lee literally said "\u201cBigotry and racism are among the deadliest social ills plaguing the world today." and Hudson Thames is out here saying he was worried about Spider-Man being too "woke"… What dipshit https:\/\/t.co\/6d3qxDFxDM<\/a><\/p>\n
