I think when it comes to debates like these, they should take a note from the directors of the first 3 X-Men movies in regards to Charles Xavier coming back to life after the incident with Jean Grey.
Comic book fans really want to strip Magneto of his backstory as a Holocaust survivor because his age makes it "unbelievable." They're saying stuff about how even the youngest of survivors are currently in their nineties. (And we know Magneto was at least a teenager while in Auschwitz.)
Dude.... A purple alien with a scrotum chin wiped out half of all life in the galaxy using a magic glove, and five years later, the good guys undid it using time travel. A 100 year old Jew using superpowers to fight the government should not be the end of believability here.
Marvel's attempt to make homoerotic scenes not gay is SO FUNNY to me.
Marvel will have two characters having passionate gay sex but will have someone mumble out "your my best friend" and then say "Pal", and "Buddy" excessively throughout, like that cancels the homosexual tension out of the scene.
Like, I'm sitting here going, "was that not like?? The gayest thing I've ever seen??" and Marvel will look me dead in the eyes, in the most monotone serious voice and say, "what was gay about it?"
I was watching X-Men 97 and my mom walked in on Season 2, Episode 3.
Charles and Magento have just gotten tricked by Sinister, having faked distressed calls pleading for the other to save them only to arrive with both parties perfectly fine. An avalanche comes crashing down moments later and sends them hurtling down the mountain.
At THIS point, my mom walks in.
Magneto comes rushing towards Charles to carry him out from the pile of snow, only for them to find Charles' legs are working again and their mutations are blocked out. Now awaking on an island far to tropical from what they'd expected, they quickly have to run as Pterodactyls come chasing them down. Picking Magneto off the ground and dropping him into the water. Charles screams out for him, before diving straight into this raging river and going after him in order to save him.
My mom watches this, looks at me almost accusingly and asks me: "Why are they not gay lovers?"
Quit my job as an editor for a streamer ages ago but I'm to afraid to take "editor for ______" out of my Twitter bio till they get a new editor cause it feels to much like being the first guy to change your PFP after matching with a group, or changing my Facebook status to "it's complicated" after a particularly unpleasant conversation
Absolutely despise people who just shit on things cause they're main stream.
Shut the fuck up and watch the damn wizard show, while you're angry tweeting over how stupid it is, you just missed this wizard guy coming out as gay then doing the sickest guitar riff fuckin ever
