Marvel Studios EP Victoria Alonso: "The world is ready" for a gay superhero
- Thread starter ZeoVGM
- Start date
I for one can't wait for the big screen adaptation of Jean Grey outing Iceman.
With that said, I'm not going to pat them on the back just yet, it's taken them 10+ damn years to get a female led movie out ffs

Then clarify your statement because you talk about forced diversity then mention Sam and Natasha flirting.
Forced diversity would be to make Falcon gay when his mannerisms and behavior up until this point is anything but.
Would love to hear more of your thoughts on "gay mannerisms and behavior"
I can't wait for said characterizations to be implemented in a way that keeps it marketable for the Chinese Box Office so as to meet the criteria necessary to be allowed to partake in that Cinema market. Due to that reality I will keep my expectations low. But regardless their hearts are in the right place and I hope they give it a good effort.
If they decided to make Falcon gay but he flirted with Natasha, that doesn't go against his mannerisms and behavior. Fun fact: gay people can flirt with people of the opposite sex because flirting isn't always about being sexually attracted to somebody.
I have a hard time seeing them put Daken on the big screen, let alone this.
Okay.
That is not what I suggested or implied.
Hmm... that's an interesting take. I won't jump down your throat but I'm curious to know how someone's daily behavior or mannerisms is automatically linked with who they are sexually attracted to? Are you assuming that one has to be flamboyant to get the point across? Because, in my humble gay opinion - that surely isn't the case.
Additionally, rumor has it that there exist people who are attracted to men and women at the same time.

The world already has gay superheroes. Maybe stop the queerbaiting and removing scenes that show characters as LGBT. Just a thought.
Wow. Well this isn't forced diversify, so have fun being wrong as fuck.

Really? Wow, you learn something new every day!
I'll leave though. Good advice.
Lol if you say so honey.
It was originally going to be made more explicit in the movie in a scene with a woman leaving her bedroom, and then Marvel vetoed it to play in China.
But you were originally meant to know that the other Valkyrie who is highlighted in the flashback, the blonde one, was her lover.
Have you heard of bisexuals before?
Or the middle east or a lot of Eastern European countries or South Americans etc. There's still a LOT of homophobia in the world.
There will be a special cut where they hire Jing Tian to be Hulking.
The China hurdle is going to be a huge issue, but if Disney doesn't care about that, then lets go. Its time.
Yeah. There will inevitably be some number of countries that don't show Eternals. (Not that that should stop Marvel, in a perfect world) I just wonder if that means they will ban the whole series.

Thats what i thought cause if that dude was talking about that valkyries and hela scene that ain't nothing.
edit: and they're banned now.

Personally I really dislike forced heteronormativity. Damn straights always weaseling their way into my superhero movies.
I'm trying to figure out who Quinto can play in the MCU
I'd love to see Amadeus Cho as the next hulk as well.

I think that it's actually explicitly illegal for films to be shown in China with gay content without being censored, but I might be misremembering. Since China is the biggest market outside the US -- and often bigger -- where most films make a lot of their money, the fact that China is so homophobic has been one big stumbling block for these huge franchises in particular.
See also the terrible additional scenes set in China for Iron Man 3 for proof of how much Marvel focuses on that market.
I somehow didn't realize, due to lack of an avatar, that the person arguing against forcing diversity was the same person who thought Valkyrie's bisexuality was as established as it needed to be in Ragnarok. Jesus.

Whenever I see a straight couple kiss in a movie, I stand up and yell, "STOP FORCING THIS ON ME."
Looking at all those comments about TLOU Ellie's sexuality I am not so sure if the world is ready for a gay superhero.
It would be great if Marvel pushes for it anyway but it's hard to believe that they would willingly chose to loose money because of it.
On the other hand, if it is "only" one person on a team of heroes, people might be more open and accept it. If I were the actor I would quit social media though... just in case.

I'm trying not to limit my thoughts to characters who are already gay in the comics. There are plenty of straight characters they could do that with and it would make sense.
They did a very early setup for Amadeus in Age of Ultron but it will be quite some time until we see him barring any sort of time jump in the universe.
Sounds like they were ready all this time and were waiting for the world to catch up...
Hope they do it tho.

I dunno, you're all talking about the weird, sad folk but, culturally, there's more of a precedent for different ethnicities and women being our stereotypes of heroic and strong. Gay people? Not so much. I honestly think that to an extent the wider audience would reason more with a lesbian superhero because they have an unfair stereotype as being overtly masculine. Likewise, gay men ordinarily have their masculinity diminished or stripped away in the media.
I dunno. I'm sure Marvel will do a good job.
