Posted on PT first but I though this board would enjoy it too...


quote:

“As if to put the nail in the coffin of speculation, Bucky and Cap paused for a moment in the middle of snowy Siberia to reminisce about their days chasing skirts in pre-War Brooklyn,” Ms. Robinson wrote Sunday. “It’s a sweet, human bonding moment but one that also bristles with heterosexual virility. If Disney isn’t inclined to give audiences a gay superhero, couldn’t they have at least left us the dream of Bucky and Cap? … Doesn’t ‘Captain America: Civil War’ go out of its way to “define” Bucky and Steve’s relationship when Cap smooches Sharon Carter (Emily VanCamp) while Bucky looks on approvingly? Where’s the room for interpretation in that moment?”

Disney is putting all the gay stuff in Star Wars. Marvel is for the non gays.

It's like the dam has broken completely on this country going to shite. It started slowly and then all of sudden bam! The bottom had just fallen out.

If they were speculating that Cap and Bucky were anymore than a bromance to begin with, they were trying too damn hard.

I don't have a problem with the emergence of a gay/lesbian superhero at some point but it needs to be organic and not force fed. This shite is stupid and sadly Vanity Fair isn't the only place I've seen in.

A lesbian superhero would work. Hell Batwoman's recent comic was very well received and she was a lesbian.

An openly gay superhero hasn't worked in comics and I doubt it would work in a movie or tv show.

Waiting on draconian sanctions to come in and tell everyone in this thread that they are a close minded gay basher

As in all Marvel comics, the homosexuality was implied.

I think there are more pressing issues causing this 'country to go to shite' than some dumb think piece article on a superhero movie.
