Big Mean Jerk posted:They’re PG-13 mass-market crowd pleasers that are also heavily marketed to kids and families, so I’ve never understood the complaint that MCU films are “neutered” or sexless. What exactly do you expect? It’s extremely weird to constantly be asked to fawn over bulging sweaty muscles and to be shown the literal hottest people in human history over and over, and also to have all the characters (Steve, Widow, Banner, Peter) constantly talking about love and relationships and stuff and then to never go anywhere with it, to say nothing of America’s cultural obsession with hyper violence while maintaining that sexual intimacy of any kind is still a major taboo. This fear of sex is also the reason we can’t just have Gay Capt. Marvel, because the only way to have that would be to sexualize the platonic relationship we were given in her movie in no uncertain terms. It’s not wrong to want a strong lesbian hero. We didn’t even need sex, we just needed intimacy, a sunset smooch, holding hands at the park, lots of little touches to show that these ladies, uh, TOUCH each other, without having to show them in bed. It really came to a head for me with WandaVision, because they were able to actually find a way to skip the question of sex entirely while still giving Wanda a family, truly the most insane hoops imaginable to avoid having to represent Wanda and Vision as lovers.

Edit: Ok, imagine a robot that can remotely hack and take over any electronic device with a microchip. Then imagine we live in a magic fantasy universe where people have invented electronic devices that sexually pleasure them... then take those two ideas and see if there is any overlap between them.

Doctor Nutt posted:If it weren't for the violence and language, they'd all be G-rated; their characters are so chaste and sexless. The first Thor also has NatPo and Kat Dennings drooling over shirtless Hemsworth. However modern Marvel films are made by the Military-Industrial complex for children, femcels, and hyperestrogenic men so sex would only frighten and turn off their fanbase and undermine the intended propaganda.

Bleck posted:"things need to show sex so that it's more adult" is like the most childish thing lmao Exactly. I have no problem with relative sexlessness in the MCU when on the other end of the spectrum you have poo poo like GoT with it's pointless gratuity that makes it as awkward to watch as stumbling into a sad Dungeons and Dragons nerd's spank bank folder. The fact that people in the Marvel universe have children is evidence enough that sex exists there.

X-Men (2000) had plenty of sexual tension between Wolverine and Jean Grey, with the clear attendant threat of cuckolding Cyclops, while also using the sexual uncertainties of puberty as part of the reason Rogue runs away from Xavier's school which kicks off the entire third act. Spiderman (2002) has the upside-down kiss in the rain between Spiderman and MJ which became a widespread cultural meme for a while. Daredevil (2003) has an actual PG-13 sex scene between Daredevil and Electra. The first Iron Man (2008) has Tony actively seducing and sleeping with a journalist, living as a playboy, and romantic tension with Pepper. I already mentioned Thor (2011) indulging in Hemsworth's physique. Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) similarly has romantic and sexual tension between Steve and Peggy. The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) is primarily driven by the Peter-Gwen relationship, especially the desire to supplant her father as her primary male relationship. But as the 2000s and 2010s went on, Marvel (and thus the Disney corporation, and thus the organized web of corporate power plus the military industrial complex plus the security state which we can just call the Empire) deliberately reduced the amount of sexuality and romance in their films. Why? What are they trying to communicate? What type of person are they trying to build? Consider also that Pepper is around 44 to 46 in Infinity War and denies being pregnant when asked. There's plenty of reason to believe that a phenomenally wealthy older person would choose to have a surrogate for their child, so sex is only distantly involved in that. Instead, we see the export of literal reproductive labor onto a faceless and dispossessed person. The ultimate Disney-person, homo disney, doesn't have sex even to create children. They recruit a poor woman (or birthing person, womb-haver, womboid) to do it for them. ANOTHER SCORCHER fucked around with this message at 19:59 on May 8, 2021 |
