In Spider-Man: Brand New Day, why did they have a woman force Peter to strip down to his skivvies and get in a hot tub? Why did they have her then make reference to perverse online cartoons featuring him and Mysterio, who was played by the guy from Brokeback Mountain? Why did they put him in his skivvies again outside in an alley, and then have him wear women’s clothes? All humiliation rituals. Hollywood does this over and over again, to tear down anything good, to emasculate, to pervert, to destroy. It is never necessary to the plot at hand, unless the whole plot shouldn’t have been written to begin with. There were elements of this in Endgame, in the final battle, when Captain Marvel stood over Spider-Man, spoke to him in a creepy voice, and the feminist crew came to his rescue. And with Spider-man being regularly treated as the eternal child, it’s easier to sell it to an unthinking audience. You’d never get away with that with Captain America.
I’ve done some watching of old game shows with celebrities in recent years, and then looked into the lives of some of those celebrities. Not only was the divorce rate among them astounding, the number of homosexuals was surprising. And that’s going back into the fifties. We’ve been conditioned over decades without even realizing it.
