Cap's Avengers 2 scene where he gives Bruce Banner dating advice for Black Widow (who MYSTERIOUSLY stopped being his love interest at some point off screen...) is also a very typical Hollywood gay guy scene, where the man who has transcended pussy madness gives a nugget of wisdom to the hapless guy.

We're not even at the point where a straight woman has filled that role, and Blade is the only non-white male movie superhero movie I can even think of aside from like Hancock and dreck comedy poo poo like Pluto Nash or Steel. Superhero blockbuster poo poo is so carefully planned for maximum revenue that we're just now getting actual women and black people in upcoming films. Gay or bi superhero film would still alienate a huge amount of terrible people that go to see those movies. I would love to see it happen but good loving luck in the forseable future Edit: loving filter some of us are actually gay >: (

To be fair, I think Jurgan meant "why not" to reading Cap as bi, not "why not" to him being presented as explicitly bi. Both are/would be good, but like you say the latter's not likely.

Cap comes off as hella gay in the movies. Sure, he presented as straight in the loving '40s, so what? Lots of people, especially in the public eye, did. Plus it's a good chance to keep working the Hercules gay as opposed to the femme gay. Gay men are MEN doing manly things together. Not some recreation of heteronormative relationships. To paraphrase the Hero talking to Jason, "What are you loving faggots doing here staying on this island loving women?!?! We should be out there exploring, gaining glory, and loving men like real men!" I'm (a loving moron) geek for classics like ya'll are geeks for comics so I don't expect people to geek out over the Argonautica (the most awkward and fanboyish phase of epic poetry) but come on. Cap is totally the American Heracles and we all know it.

Why should we make Cap a bi Hercules when Marvel already has one? I mean if people can make it work in the script and it makes conservatives like Walsh poo poo their pants fearing that they'll somehow be infected by the gay through association fine, but we don't need to make him Herc when Marvel already has one that's open to its own movieverse changes. Hell that can be his boyfriend, A bi Cap with a bi Herc. Double your homosexual heroes and conservative rage with one stroke - or several hopefully from people such as Matt.

Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:Matt Walsh is a soldier "You guys are all dumb children. Be back soon, gotta go stat a war against the forces of hell with the other deluded egomaniacs trapped in Bronze Age dogma." You know, I generally feel pretty good nowadays about most of the silly music I listened to as a teenager. Except Manowar. It's just so corny and naked in its praise for epic conflict and permanent victory that it makes me uncomfortable to even see the CDs on my shelf. Walsh, Vox Day and plenty of other alt-right figures pretty much sipped from that exaggerated fake non-philosophy and decided "Hey, that sounds like something to BUILD MY ENTIRE ADULT MINDSET AROUND".

Yeah, basically I just meant "I don't have strong opinions on the issue, but if other people read him as bi that's cool." His relationship with Peggy seemed sincere to me, which makes me think he had at least some heterosexual urges, but it could be he was still coming into his own identity.

Why are the good ones always gay? I don't know why every chick I know prefers Iron Man anyway, because he's a loving jerk. And so is Robert Downey Jr. But fine, fine. I'm all for greater diversity represented in lead roles.

DC also has a Hercules and he sure as poo poo isn't a nice man when it comes to the Amazons, like pretty much most of the Greek and mythical pantheon as far as Wonder Woman is concerned. I don't remember the Marvel one doing much outside of being a gigantic hairy ham. I cannot appreciate enough how much the right flips its pro-business anything script as soon as its free market doesn't enforce their ideology with big business money.

Seeing how upset some people are getting about the very concept of Captain America having a boyfriend, I think a lot of them are just assuming this is the standard "PC bullshit" that's coming out of nowhere. Not only do they miss the possible subtext in the movies themselves, they have no idea just how much gay fanfiction and fanart there is out there, and how eagerly it's consumed by a whole lot of people. One of the (admittedly, many) reasons why the Marvel movies have been such a success is because it appeals to the shipper demographic. It's not too highly visible, outside of some "did you know that some people are drawing your character kissing this other character?!" segments in late night talk shows, but it's a bigger group of people than one would expect. I just want to sit Crowder down in front of archiveofourown and watch him desperately try to reconcile it all. Not only do a lot of people, mostly women, on the internet think a big tough manly American icon might be gay, they've been doing it for years before the movies even came out. Speaking of Crowder, even though the vast majority of people using his dumb hashtag are mocking him through it, he's still so giddy about it trending that he doesn't care. gently caress that guy.
