Presumably everybody on my f-list knows that I enjoyed the Spider-Man reboot a lot more than most other people? That I preferred it to "Avengers Assemble"? Right? - Well, thankfully that's kinda irrelevant to this. This announcement is still awesome whether you care about the rebooted Spider-Man film series or not...

To fill you in, because the internet is full of douchebags, there was a stupid negative reaction the casting of Shailene Woodley (from "The Descendants") as Spider-Man's later love interest Mary-Jane (played by Kirsten Dunst in Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy) because apparently "she's not pretty enough". *groan!* (Surely a bigger problem is the jailbait issue? She's 8 years younger than Andrew Garfield! I suppose she's only 3 years younger than Emma Stone and, in any case, apparently she's actually 21 now and Andrew Garfield is playing a character who is supposed to be a lot younger than he is. Anyway, it doesn't matter.)

So apparently they've decided they don't need MJ to show up in the second Spider-Man movie after all. (I guess Emma Stone's character isn't being killed off just yet.) And Shailene Woodley says she'll be busy on other projects when the third movie comes around (which I like to think is, at least in part, a big 'eff you' to the online douchebaggery).

So now Andrew Garfield has the solution! Why not make MJ a male character? He initially said it as a joke, but then Garfield considered it more seriously. I think it sounds like an awesome idea!

Unsurprisingly, due to more internet douchebaggery, this entertainment news vid has over 1500 dislikes. Is Andrew Garfield bisexual himself? I mean, it's one thing to suggest that a character you are playing could be bisexual, but to say "and he's going to kiss.... THAT guy over there! Because I respect him so much. Please?" Sounds to me like somebody's got a crush! :)

Apparently Andrew Garfield thinks Spider-Man's next love interest should be played by
Michael B. Jordan from "Chronicle".
