IS THOR GAY MARVEL ICS? THOR: LOVE AND THUNR TRAILER HTS AT
When Natalie Portman says that somethg is “so gay,” I want to believe her. So when Portman swore durg a Q&A at the London premiere of her latt film, Thor: Love and Thunr, that Marvel’s newt offerg is “so gay,” my tert was immediately piqued—and while I hadn’t seen a Marvel film sce 2018’s Black Panther, I had to know whether Thor 4 would be an entry to the queer cematic non à la Moonlight, Carol, and the Nile Kidman AMC ad.So off to the ceplex I went, tstg Natalie Portman spe mors that Thor: Love and Thunr might not be as gay as she claimed. Thor: Love and Thunr was directed by Taika Wai, whose queer, pirate HBO Max show, Our Flag Means Death, certaly cross the thrhold of “so gay.” Bisexual actor Tsa Thompson went on rerd at San Diego Comic-Con sayg that she wanted to fd her character Valkyrie, the female Kg of Asgards, a queen the next film.
Below is a list of the gay moments, subtext, and energy that I uld fd Thor: Love and Thunr, ranked by their level of gayns. Be warned: Spoilers abound.NOT GAY (AND SORT OF RUDE)Chris Pratt’s Star-Lord is pretty heavily featured the first 15 mut of the film. Eventually, Thor acquic and lls Axl by his chosen name…but ’s left a weird taste some LGBTQ+ fans’ mouths.SIMPLY NOT GAYThere’s a short montage of Thor, played by Chris Hemsworth, and his many lovers…all of whom are women.
Decidly not gay.Matt Damon and Melissa McCarthy both appear a performg troupe Asgard, actg out the legend of Thor. While the sheer amount of surprise celebry reveals the film is somewhat gay (who don’t love a Ruveal!), the mockery of stage actg is not gay at all.SLIGHTLY GAYThe film opens wh a preface that featur the god Dnys (Simon Rsell Beale)—shirtls a field of gigglg flowers and wearg a sparkly goln crown and statement necklace, braggg about how many followers he has. Defely a b gay!K mistakenly lls Jane Foster “Jane Fonda.” The votn of Miss Fonda, ’80s aerobics and 9 to 5 queen, is fely slightly gay!The first needle drop of the film is, que randomly, Enya’s “Only Time.” This feels weirdly appropriate given the recent rurgence of wchy former pop stars who now live stl pletely off the grid.
VALKYRIE'S ARC 'THOR: LOVE AND THUNR' IS PROBABLY THE GAYT MARVEL WILL EVER GET
Aga, not explicly gay any way, but I fely ught queer vib.Thor’s cloth accintally get stripped om him, leavg him standg a room full of gods the nu. A zucchi—which is a hop, skip, and a jump away om the eggplant emoji.GAYThor, Jane, and Valkyrie more or ls exclively travel by ridg screamg yaks who n on a supercharged rabow. While rabows are nonilly gay (see: the Pri Flag, “Somewhere Over the”), this is sort of the lowt possible bar you uld pass for havg queer ntent.
