[Cine] Continúan los rumores sobre el cambio de etnia de Spider-Man en el Universo Cinemático Marvel

Mientras que el gran anuncio de la vuelta de Spider-Man a casa con ese acuerdo en el que Marvel Studios y Sony compartirán los derechos cinematográficos del trepamuros para que forme parte del Universo Cinemático Marvel y siga su camino en solitario de la mano de Sony, lo último que hemos leído ha dejado de contentar a mucha gente.

A los recientes rumores sobre la posibilidad de que el próximo Spider-Man no sea caucásico, sin entrar en si sería Peter Parker u otro personaje bajo la máscara, ahora sumamos algo más y varias declaraciones de Dan Slott apoyando ese posible cambio de etnia.

White actors are still going out for Spider-Man but their reps are telling me they think Sony is leaning "ethnic."

Actores blancos todavía van a intentar conseguir el papel de Spider-Man pero sus representantes me están diciendo que creen que Sony está apuntando a algo “étnico”.

Jee Sneider es redactor de Badass Digest y de momento nos tenemos que tomar esto como otro rumor más. Sin embargo, Dan Slott, actual guionista de “Amazing Spider-Man”, está completamente de acuerdo con ese cambio y no entiende por qué la gente no lo comparte.

Some of the comments, rigidity, rationalizations, and– in some cases– flat-out-anger by some that Spider-Man MUST "be white" scare me.

Marvel always works best when it's "the world outside your window". And sometimes that requires recalibration.

It's not about "for the sake of it". It's because "Why not?" Why CAN'T an African American, Asian American, or ANYBODY be Spider-Man?

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) February 21, 2015

I'm not saying he "shouldn't". I'm saying ANYBODY should. That's different. RT @Daniel_Averill @DanSlott why shouldn't he be white?

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) February 21, 2015

He was a product of his time. Times change. RT @** @DanSlott It's not "Spider-Man" must be white. Peter Parker IS and has always been white.

False argument. RT @*** @DanSlott Luke Cage would never be cast as white, and rightfully so. The outrage would be palpable.

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) February 21, 2015

Luke Cage's race is built into who he is and why he does what he does. There is nothing inherently "white" about Peter Parker.

Icons belong to EVERYBODY. Why making "NEW heroes of color" doesn't work: You can't just make an ICON. & "separate but equal" isn't America.

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) February 21, 2015

Everything is… until it isn't. RT @***** @DanSlott I don't believe Spiderman has to be white, but Peter Parker must be because he is.

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) February 21, 2015

.@tomturbine28 Tobey Maguire had blue eyes even though for 50+ years Peter Parker's eyes have been brown. How did we ever survive?

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) February 21, 2015

It boils down to this: A non-white child is playing with a Spidey action figure, would YOU go up to him & say: "You can't be Spider-Man."

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) February 21, 2015

"I hear you're telling people Spidey shouldn't be white." No. I'm saying EVERYBODY should get a shot at being Spidey irregardless of race.

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) February 21, 2015

Write down 10 words to describe Peter Parker. "White" shouldn't be in there. Or the first 100. Or thousand. If it is, you don't get him.

— Dan Slott (@DanSlott) February 22, 2015

Y así con varios mensajes más.

Dan Slott básicamente lo que dice es que una de las características principales de Peter Parker no es ser blanco y por ello aceptaría un cambio de etnia en el personaje. Sin embargo, no aceptaría un cambio en Luke Cage porque asegura que en este personaje la etnia es parte del mismo y en Peter Parker no. Curioso.
