    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 ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,202 ✭✭✭partyguinness


    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.

    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.

    You think Iron Man/Tony Stark is a Democrat?

    Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) was quoted at being LGBTQ(+whatevertherestis) so there you go Sir Troll.

    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.

    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:

    This is an actual panel from a recent Marvel comic (it's sfw, just suggestive):

    I genuinely thought it was a gay porn parody when I saw it first. Suuuuper gay.
