Bring forth the wall of text:

Sci-Fi seems to appeal to Peter and Lloyd far more than philosophy. They had attempted to make a philosophy battle before and found it too boring. Since they pretty much always decide based on what interests them (unless it's extremely popular like Goku vs Superman), the chances of there being more philosophy battles appears very small.

Spider-Man was only given a no (by Peter, who you've shown has been overruled in the past) because they'd not seen suggestions they liked. The second Peter found one he thought was good, he told everyone. He never said it was because he didn't have interest in the character/topic itself.

More of a side note to an extent:

As for the Oprah vs Ellen/Goku vs Superman argument, that's become far too overused. Firstly, Peter is only one of those who decides, so his opinion isn't the final verdict, merely a part of it. Second, Peter never gave an outright no to Oprah vs Ellen, just that he'd rather her face a man (if I'm remembering correctly, or it could have been another point), and with Goku vs Superman the battle was almost too big to ignore. Lastly, those 2 are virtually the only examples brought up. That wouldn't be so bad if it weren't that there have been lots of other times he (or another crew member, those exist too) said no and it's stayed that way. It's not necessarily a good argument to say "2 times out of x (when x is probably 100+) this has happened and therefore will happen once more". It's too small a percentage to be as used as much as it is.
