I'll believe that this entails more than Beauty and the Beast 2017/Power Rangers/Star Trek Beyond/ID Resurgence scraps of queer representation when I see it, unfortunately.
Power Rangers was far more substantial than Beauty and the Beast... it;s fine to say it didn't go far enough but to throw it in with that is kinda unfair
oh, I didn't see it, I thought it was just one line implying that one of the female rangers has/had a girlfriend
No, you're right, it's not substantial at all and she's never identified as queer onscreen.
I mean it was a line... but as part of a pretty solid character building scene and you know was a main character and it was very much in fitting with a teenager just starting to figure out her sexuality.
A far more relateable and effective thing than a dance in the background.
Talk is cheap. Make a lead hero be lgbt and don't bend for China or other shitty backwards countries. Also, make it a core part of the film so you really hammer home inclusivity and diversity.
plssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
guardians of the galaxy 4 annihilation conquest is a billion dollar movie
She's identified as a teenager working through her sexuality in the midst of the most significant character building scene in the film... it's relateable. Is it perfect? No... but it's not the queer baiting nonsense that Beauty and the Beast was
It's an effective moment.
China is something studios will work with to get movies released there. China hates LGBT. Women are OK. Women were more of a USA thing.
There is a damn good joke in that line, but I am the only one that would get it
I dont remember hearing that, but there are so many rumors and tibits floating around i could've easily missed it.
Welp since they acquired FOX they have so much material to take from. Lol.
I don't see a movie coming soon because USA and China though.

Introducing Discrete Man, the sexually-ambiguous superhero with the incredible power to appease both those wanting representation and the demands of worldwide box office takings!
Watch as he does daring acts of bravery such as:
- Looking at another man for a few moments in a meaningless shot that can easily be removed!
- Using innuendos that make it unclear whether he was in love with men or whether he was just "very good friends" with them!
- Manipulating the plot so his sexuality is never actually plot-relevant!
- Magically shrinking on his film's very own poster!
...but not all is well for Discrete Man as the evil villain 'Societ-A' aims to remove his altogether vague and undefined 'different' identity! Can he stop Societ-A's schemes, bring the unclear themes of the plot to a conclusion and savehis lover his best friend in the process? Book your tickets now to find out!

This is great news, hopefully it isn't just implied like LeFou in Beauty and the Beast. Both Marvel and of course the Live Action remakes are handled by Disney and it is one of my major complaints is that they are saying characters are gay but then don't show it on screen. Also if I remember correctly same thing happened with Valkyrie in Ragnarok.
