"Avengers: Endgame" directors Joe and Anthony Russo hinted that a gay Marvel character will be identified in a future installment in the movie franchise.

...

He portrayed a group therapy attendee who detailed an emotional date he had with another man, his first since the disappearances that occurred at the end of "Avengers: Infinity War."

After verifying the character's sexual orientation, Joe added that "there've been insinuations about other characters' sexuality."

"There is a gay character coming up in one of their films," Joe said, adding that he expects Marvel will make an announcement on the subject, according to Entertainment Weekly.

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige shed light on the topic last year, the outlet noted. Two roles, "both ones you've seen and ones you haven't seen," would be identified as gay, he said at the time.

Valkyrie.

Calling it now

I'm super okay with this.

Well, Valkyrie was bisexual in at least one comic I remember.

I'd say her and Captain Marvel will be the SJW Scissors ladies.

I don't really care if that's just one part of their character. Its when a gay character has no other human traits EXCEPT for gayness that it becomes stupid. No gay person I've ever met has been one dimensional like that.

I don't care what people want to do on their own time, but I have zero interest in seeing gay super heros. To the point where I'll skip watching it if they get blatant about it. I'm not going to pay to see a couple of guys kissing or more. bleh.

My wife has a cousin who works for Dreamworks. He is gay. Was talking with him at a family event and he mentioned that the number of people working in the arts/entertainment industry who aren't straight is pretty big. For whatever reason the LGBTRSVP crowd is just drawn to the arts & entertainment industry like flies to shit.

Anyway, point is that while the LGTPBBQ crowd in real life represents a fairly small percent of the total population (this article says recent data suggests it's less than 2 percent of the population) they are a disproportionately large population and voice in Hollywood. Naturally, they are going to think their representation in Hollywood is proportional to that in the nation as a whole and therefore they will think the nation as a whole will proportionally share their desire to see LGQTPSREPORT characters in stories and movies. Wrong.

Reminds me of a man on the street segment a decade or three ago where the journalist was interviewing blacks in black neighborhoods asking them what percent of the total U.S. population they thought was black. While the actual demographics were like 12 percent of the nation was black, those they interviewed thought it was like 75+ percent.

Perception is reality. And Hollywood is a pretty gay place so it makes sense they want to have lots of gay characters in stories and movies.

even my 11/13yo kids are sick of it. The most recent episode of TWD had a passionate kiss between two female characters, my son says "why does Hollywood have to gay up everything? I'm done with TWD."

I was done with TWD a few seasons ago. That show has dragged on for too long now and just keeps rehashing the same plot over and over.

Once Rick and company gain control some new bad guy or other threat comes along, fucks shit up and sends them back on the road.

They did it already in the comics with Northstar 25 years ago.

Nobody really minds when female characters are lesbian. It’s only when dicks are involved that people sit up and take notice. It’s the “wrong” gay.

Just look how many on this forum went to the theater to see Captain Marvel after all the SJW bullshit the star of the movie spouted.

"Vote with your wallet"

Many here did just that.

The endgame movie had obviously queer people, the feminist figure super hero, and I won't spoil the best part of anti-racist virtue signaling at the end.

So pretty much a typical Disney film.

I'm past that. I didn't even go see the last few in the theater. I'm going to either wait until I can see them free, or skip them at this point. I can't support people who go against what I believe. I'm tired of dealing w/ the whole SJW thing.

Supposedly not. She and War Machine were a thing in the comics, and the whole 5yr gap they are rumored to have gotten close. The holographic conference call was written to show some emotion/concern between them. Brief, but it is there.

Besides, she would be too obvious from the speculation from her movie and the comments of Brie. Someone not obvious and has seemed not gay through it all.

Still going with Fury.

Northstar from Alpha Flight is gay. Alpha Flight 106 was the comic.

It was released in March 1992.

Last week.

See it at my worksite every day. Luckily, the yoga pants babes make up for it.

If memory serves, in both Deadpool movies the punk X-man chick was gay. Her lover was a sexy Japanese babe with an electric whip or something.

Yep, and quite openly.

Representation is really important,” Joe Russo told Deadline.

“It was important to us as we did four of these [Avengers] films, we wanted a gay character somewhere in them.

We felt it was important that one of us play him, to ensure the integrity and show it is so important to the filmmakers that one of us is representing that.

I don't give a rat's ass what they do. They can make them all gay/transgendered with purple fucking hair and I wouldn't care since I don't plan on partaking of anymore of their worthless crap. Like Disney and Star Wars, they can find a new audience for that garbage, I'm out.
