Peter Parker voice actor Hudson Thomas says his biggest fear about #YourFriendlyNeighborhoodSpiderMan was that it was going to be 'annoying and woke'

"And it wasn't ... It's so well written"

They should recast, though over at Sony they also should have recast Miles. They gotta start vetting these Spider-Men better. We've got a Miles that has a beef with *checks notes*... Rosa Parks (for some bizarre reason), and now a Peter that's got a red hat to go with his red mask.

Wait, the voice actor have fear of the show being woke while having a black man as a showrunner?

Surprise he got the role in the first place.

Not only that, the entire main cast (except for Peter and Aunt May) is a POC. It’s the definition of woke.

It’s unfortunate for one dumb actor to ruin a project with good intentions, but alas I won’t be watching.

geekboyeric.bsky.social•30 days ago

Like I said, your choice. But having seen the whole show, this series makes it a point to make sure almost the entire cast (sans Peter and May) is a POC. This show is actually super woke. There are very few high profile series with black showrunners, boycotting this will mostly just hurt him. 🤷‍♂️

Sucks he hired a low-key racist to be his lead then.

geekboyeric.bsky.social•30 days ago

Yeah it does. But I doubt he put all that on his resume.

They really should have given Hudson Thames like some better PR training

geekboyeric.bsky.social•30 days ago

Yeah. Look, if they replace him with another Tom Holland sound alike it’s fine by me. But I hate to see the show runner’s efforts to tell diverse storytelling in a big IP squashed because the guy they hired sucks.

I'd personally wanna get someone like Ben Diskin to provide Peter's Voice

sonicblueranger.bsky.social•29 days ago

Honestly Ben deserves another chance. The show he was on wasn’t great but he has such a good voice for Peter.

...Wait, when did he voice Peter?!

sonicblueranger.bsky.social•29 days ago

Ok I go mixed up. I thought he voiced him in the 2017 cartoon but that was Robbie Daymond. He did voice him in a Lego cartoon though.

The last thing we should be doing is a boycott. At the same time, Brad and Hudson should be held accountable for those moronic quotes. Not media training talent is a choice...

thenightlibrary.bsky.social•29 days ago

Sure, but how do you do that aside from skipping the show?

The company won't care unless there's some kind of impact.

geekboyeric.bsky.social•30 days ago

Agreed.
