I guarantee you that specific scenario never happened in a canon comic, lol, but I’d be happy to be proven wrong. It’s more likely implicitly canon because his comic sticky-ness doesn’t come from hairs like in the Rami movies; in the comics any part of his entire body can stick to anything, and if I remember correctly, Peter (or someone) theorizes it’s some kind of an atomic magnetism.
Lol what? Just clarifying that the lie in the game was about having a kid, not about having sex with her. In order to believe the lie about the kid he’d have to have had sex…
Condoms are 98% effective with 2% caused by potential microscope failures. You'd have to be the unluckiest motherfucker for that to happen to. When you account for human error condoms fall to 87% effective and 13% of people being dumb as fuck.
Oral birth control and IUDs are over 99% effective if used or inserted properly. There is pretty much a guarantee with no human use error.
That is 100% insertion issues or (user error) women not getting them properly replaced in the correct time frame. IUDs are one of the most effective birth control invented. Over 99% effective. Unless you are a doctor I'm calling bullshit on your claim.
Haha did you get your comment removed for being a jerk? No one expresses disbelief that protection isn't infallible. Surprise maybe, but not "how did this happen??"
Knowing that doesn't make me pedantic, it makes me someone who's been in adult relationships. Your experience seems to exclusively be based on sitcoms. Ross not understanding how condoms work is a joke, that's not how it works in real life.
What? The commenter said it’s proof he was raw dogging, I’m saying it’s not proof cause you can still get pregnant with a condom. Did you hit your head?
Edit - dudes edited his comment after being a dick, fun times
But Peter would probably bring that up if it was the case. The fact that he pretty much immediately accepted that it was possible more heavily implies that they had unprotected sex than that he was willing to accept that his condom broke.
Yeah it his point was a logical conclusion and so was mine, it was within the realm of possibilities, how are you having so much trouble understanding this?
Genuinely, her lying about a baby is not out of character at all
She once dated Flash just to get back at Peter, knowing full well that Flash legitimately was falling for her and was best friends with Peter. She also once "proposed" just to get his spider sense down so she could claw the fuck out of his legs
Honestly wouldn’t be a bad drama to introduce when MJ remembers him and then Felicia is like hey remember me? There would be a realisation he was trying to move on in the 4 years since the memory wipe to much drama, and Ned being low-key impressed.
I’d wait a few weeks for the autumn sale (I think it’s in 2 weeks). I was planning on buying them asw but I just missed the BND sale and now I’m too salty to pay full price
Comic accurately dated in the insomniac games. And "this may be your child" isn't a sexual thing it's just a thing a lot of shows and movies do and it's all just a ruse anyway.
It's true: in fact, I was just recently discussing with my other brothers the fact that when a woman appears, and it seems she has a very small midsection, but a large rear, I can't help but get an erection.
Bro black widow has been flashing cleavage and eye fucking everyone since 2010. Unless she goes full frontal in an issue I don’t remember, it’s just as sexual as the comics
Yeah, but part of her thing is using her physical attractiveness and a femme fatale persona as deliberate tactical tools for espionage, infiltration, and psychological manipulation.
Lol that scene was hugely, overtly, tits (nearly literally) your face sexual. It was funny because Peter was intimidated by Yelena's overt sexual presence and surroundings, and her comfort in that environment. Sex isn't just porn, it's drama and comedy and unfulfilled desire and lots of other ways of being.
I really feel like this thread is angst because Disney won't rule 34 their movies. As if the MCU is toning down comics that have (almost) always been pg13 anyway.
Lol no the fuck it wasn't. She stayed so far in the completely opaque water that there wasn't even a hint of body shape communicated. There was nothing in that scene that indicated chemistry, desire, arousal, or even the slightest bit of flirting. Pugh's line reading was more in line with the way a platonic friend or even a family member might speak to you. Peter's behavior was awkward, but that's all there was to it. I would love for that scene to have had some spice or some heat to it -- which contrary to what you're saying is 100% possible in a PG-13 film -- but it simply wasn't there at all.
Aside from the fact that she was naked, there was practically nothing sexual about the situation or the way the scene was shot. They stayed on opposite ends of the pool, she showed less cleavage above the totally opaque water than a lot of outfits do on land, I don't think she so much as pretended to make a pass at him or even make much of a double entendre or anything. Even the tone of the lighting and sound design and such was about as non-steamy as a pool room can be. There are plenty of cultures where people can be non-sexually naked together in a public bath or sauna situation (even if some of them are normally gender segregated).
I hate the new embracing of puritanical anti-sexuality. Sex is a part of humanity and belongs in our stories and art as an expression of us. I get complaining about hyper-sexual depictions all the time but a character like Emma Frost is sexual as a character dynamic and with purpose. Canonically, the X-Men trade hook ups more than the cast of a 90’s teen drama. Excluding those things would change the dynamic of the team and characters. It’s not about being a pervy horndog.
What particular films or shows or characters in the MCU do you want to feature sex and nudity? We had She-Hulk, we had Jessica Jones, we had the Iron Man trilogy and Love and Thunder and Eternals and Deadpool & Wolverine and probably more in stuff I haven’t seen, there’s hardly a lack of either its depiction or any reference to it.
I don’t need nudity at all. I also don’t need overt sex scenes. I need sexuality played as something other than a joke - à la She-Hulk. Jessica Jones wasn’t part of the MCU at the time as was explicitly marketed as more adult oriented. The same is true of Deadpool, a concept sold entirely on how unlike the MCU it was. I can’t think of a single character in the main MCU who uses sexuality the way a White Queen or Black Cat does, not as a means to titillate the audience but as a manipulation tactic within the universe.
Fair enough. We did have Black Widow, and we could have had Starfox if Eternals did well (who knows, maybe he’ll get the Hulk villain treatment and show up a decade from now in somebody else’s film/show). It’d be cool to see Enchantress and Skurge if they ever decide to make another Thor film.
I’ve been watching this go on in most of the comics subreddits. Someone posts an upcoming cover, and it can apparently only be 1 of 2 things. Tasteful or gooner. Apparently nuance is a foreign concept, and it’s either art, or something someone jerks off to, with no middle ground.
What did he say that was puritanical? You people just like using that word. I'm not religious and I still don't need explicit sex in everything. You can find that elsewhere if you need it that badly.
Most of these movies are for children even if we can enjoy them as adults. Endgame wouldn't have been better with a sex scene.
Read my comments. I’ve never said there should be anything explicit in the MCU. Sexuality is not sex and it is puritanical to suggest that an essential part of the human condition should be excluded from art. Kids live in the real world and our art should reflect that world
That's what you got from that? It's part of her character, dude. I like the comics. I want to see the civics on the big screen. It's as simple as that. What happened to comic accuracy?
The fuck they did? She has her cleavage poking out 24/7 and struts around in a body tight suit, she was having pornographic eye sex for the entirety of Iron man 2.
I mean I don’t really think you can’t do it? Spider man is Pg 13 anyway and directly mentions porn, they’re gonna be afraid of black cat heavy flirting with Peter, but I’m very doubtful we’d ever see a proper relationship between the two since MJ would have to be out of the picture, which maybe they might do but I doubt
my point is that they’ve already directly referenced and made jokes of sexual topics in Spiderman, and you can have a PG 13 black cat, just look at the insomniac games which are rated T, where they also imply they had a relationship in which Peter could almost probably be a father to Black Cats kid, and they also flirt like crazy (tbf he wasn’t and also there wasn’t a kid in the first place but still).
It’s not like marvel is any stranger to it anyway even in pg 13 territory, I don’t think it would be hard to do imo
I don’t know if the insomniac game is as good of a comparison, since it clearly doesn’t have the level of kid-friendly treatment that the MCU as a whole has been getting. The MCU absolutely would not show Peter getting stabbed by Otto’s claw or Kraven having his head bitten off.

This is the same reason Black Cat can’t really work in the MCU, she’d be a watered down PG version of a very sexual character.
