How come there are no LGBT super heroes in the Avengers movies ?

badabing106

All the super heroes in these movies are far left liberals. All the story lines are drenched in liberalism which focus on diversity, equality and saving the environment. Why no LGBT then? It doesn't make sense

They can reimagine captain marvel as a woman to empower women

Why can't they do the same for a gay character?

How do you know that many of the characters aren't LGBT and that they're just getting on with their lives ?

1. Super heroes are not real
2. Who cares who they decide to shag
3. They are not real
4. The super hero's sexuality is not generally the main theme
5. They are not real.
6. Their sexuality may not be the main aspect of their life.
7. Stop thinking with your dick.

Because the outfits aren't fabulous.

Far left liberal is an oxymoron for one.

Disney the giant corporation care about one thing and that's money and making more than everyone else.

What grotesque country must you hail from to consider a profit hungry war monger like Hillary Clinton to be someone that the 'far left' would vote for?

Saving the environment isn't 'liberalism' it's simple self preservation otherwise known as intelligence.

Being gay isn't liberal it's a state of being.

Can Irish people please just stop watching fox and cnn and dragging themselves into this ridiculous yankee nomenclature and simplistic dramatised division of political ideals.

By today's standards old-school Captain America is practically a leftwing radical

Sabre0001

Valkyrie (Thor: Ragnarok & Avengers: Endgame) is bisexual and the actress who plays her (Tessa Thompson) and Brie Larson (Captain Marvel) have been sharing fan art of their two characters together. It's already been teased that Marvel will reveal one of its heroes is gay: https://www.elitedaily.com/p/marvel-will-reveal-one-of-its-heroes-is-gay-in-phase-4-fans-already-have-their-guesses-17861396 .

And then there is Eternals, which could see Hercules become Marvel Cinematic Universe‘s first openly gay character.

DC comics say Wonder Woman is bisexual, although one of the writers says she is gay.


And here's a whole list of openly gay superhero's

Among the Avengers, Endgame is gay.

Captain America is low-key gay with his boyfriend Bucky Barnes.

I can't remember which comic it was, but when framing his actual socio-political beliefs Steve Rogers would be a Republican. Small Government, low taxation, right to bear arms etc. As a person though, he's supposed to represent the 'ideal' version of America, free rights, freedom of religion, no racism/sexism etc

The modern political landscape, especially in the US, can't understand that Democrat =/= Liberal and Republican =/= right wing.

I'm still laughing at the OP's idea that Hilary Clinton is a liberal :pac:

Have you seen his character arc in the last few movies?

He transformed from a war profiteer, materialistic, only interested in him self into a humanitarian and environmental activist


Anti war /anti military complex. Pro gun control

Free green energy for everyone

And,He sacrifice s himself to save humanity and the Liberal order. That's pretty liberal

Never said that

If the makers of Avengers had to put an ending credits in "endgame", showing all the superheroes going to the polling booth, all of them would of voted for hillary Clinton. Captain America would have abstained

It must be really exhausting to go through life with so much impotent resentment all the time.

Mainly, because I'd imagine all these Super Heroes were created in a time where LGBTQ+ (or whatever the abbreviation is) wasn't really a thing.

Sure, there were gay people etc, but it wasn't wrote about, or displayed on tv etc. Like Superman was created in 1938. Batman in 1939.

If the movie makers want to stick to the creators original vision for these characters, their hands are somewhat tied.

Because there is no reference to it anywhere. In fact, there is a story of there being the first gay character in Avengers, in the last movie. He wasn't a super hero though

But they can empower women by changing captain marvel from a muscle bound man into a woman to empower women

Why can't they do that with a gay character?

Probably marketing and investment returns. It's Hollywood after all. Half the population are women, so a much bigger market than gay folks and gay women are more likely to dig it too.

riclad

Most super hero movies are aimed at a family audience ,if a film gets a
18 rating it will cut its potential audience a lot,
hollywood likes money.
Once you have sex in a movie it potential audience is reduced .
A movie can have alot of violence and some bad language
and still be rated t for teen .
Also hollywood is making films for asia and china .
So they tend to have sex in the background if its mentioned at all .
IF you want to see films with complex characters and romance
with lgbt characters there lots of indie films on movie channels
and tv and netflix , streaming services .

I bet Marcellus Wallace wishes there was no gay superheroes.

Erm, you do realise literally every comic book character has been rebooted in some way over the last 80 years? Would be pretty dull to accept one version of any hero to be the be all and end all. We'd never have gotten the Dark Knight or event Burton era of Batman if we were to stick to that sort of vision. Plus X-Men literally came about as part of the civil rights movement and developed with each social movement.

mistersifter

Have this problem sorted OP.

I've just finished writing a risqué screenplay in which Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Wonderwoman (Gal Gadot) succumb to the long-standing sexual tension between them and embark on a steamy relationship that'd make Christian Grey look like a bloody altar boy. Absolutely nothing is left to the imagination.

Hoping to get it funded soon.

All in the interests of fair representation obviously.

bonzos

Can "Ireland" stop pushing the LGBT+- agenda down our throats via Rte and other media, 99% respect and acknowledge the gay community and its not an issue. Leo needs to relax a bit, it becoming embarrassing.
