"I envy those who have not yet discovered the wonderful books of Patrick O'Brian. They have a whole new world to discover. This is no mere sea story. It is history as it must have felt."Imagine if I'd just accidentally replicated Peter Hitchens' blurb on the back!
I was thinking of watching The North Water. It's on iPlayer atm. I watched The Terror recently and thought it was great.I've seen four films/tv series set on ships and I get confused as to what happens in each one (except master and commander which I've watched about ten times)...
Master and Commander
To The Ends of the Earth
The North Water
The Terror
I can't remember now if there's any sodomy in the first Master and Commander book. I'm pretty sure there's a reference to it... One of the crew is undermined in the eyes of others for being suspected of it, or something.

I'd never seen him before but lolHe looks like a Batman villain himself.
In the book there is a bit where Jack is musing to himself on the subject - I forget how it arises, probably a crew member is under suspicion - and he basically concludes that it's not for him but as long as a chap does his duty he sees no particular harm in it... don't ask, don't tell near enough, very enlightened for the times when it was set I thought... perhaps unrealistically so, I dunno.I can't remember now if there's any sodomy in the first Master and Commander book.

+1 along with lego batmanAlso as suggested earlier, Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse. Also Spiderman 2 directed by Sam Raimi (non MCU but one of the best comic book movies).
