THE GAY AVENGERS: ENDGAME CHARACTER IS A HALF-BAKED ATTEMPT AT DIVERSY

But as Avengers: Endgame reflectns ntue to e out, there is headle after headle about Marvel's first openly gay character. After some light vtigatn, turns out that the first openly gay character is a glorified meo by director Joe Rso.

The First Openly Gay Character qutn is a support group wh Capta Ameri after The Snap. Then Capta Ameri tells him that 's brave to keep gog on dat ~wh other men~ and then the scene is be clear, I'm not tryg to say that Joe Rso's portrayal of a grievg gay man was rrect or offensive, though 's non that all gay men are fans of the Yanke, not the Mets.

Wh that beg said, cludg a gay person a peripheral role isn't an acplishment as much as s payg attentn to every day life.

AVENGERS: ENDGAME’S GAY MOMENT IS A NICE GTURE THAT JT FEELS EXHSTG

Givg a sile character the moniker of "gay" isn't blazg a trail for LGBT cln as much as s hopg s dience is ignorant enough to nflate the monplace wh somethg fact that an average gay man a Marvel movie mak news as newsworthy shouldn't be surprisg. It's the same approach Disney took by makg LeFou gay Bety and the Beast and sayg he was gog to have a "gay moment" when realy he jt very yly longed for Gaston.

"We've done four of the films and was credibly important to to have a gay character reprented somewhere one of the four movi. " But te reprentatn isn't a BINGO rd wh an empty slot that says "throw a gay here!

WH AVENGERS: ENDGAME, GAY PEOPLE FALLY EXIST THE MCU

" If anythg, stashg a gay man the narrative so that Capta Ameri n pat him on the head and tell him how brave he is only rerc the ia that LGBT people should feel lucky to be clud at ntent is imported om youTube. I would have preferred that the Rso Brothers, Disney, and the Marvel Universe ntued on their journey of creatg a good universe wh a pellg superhero narrative and left the wanton attempt of cludg a gay character on the cuttg room floor. But when you make a pot to create a gay character, have him do the absolute least, and then have ld as a step forward for reprentatn, that's a b of a another world, I like to image that Thanos is alive and that he ed his Snap abili a more nstctive way.

If you're gog to go out of your way to make a character gay, give them a storyle worth payg attentn to.

Sendly, yep, you heard that right, this guy who lov the Mets (very masc) is gay, and what’s more, he’s the first openly gay character a Marvel superhero movie. Capta Ameri, An Ally, tells the gay guy that thgs are hard, but he’s dog good work gettg himself out there, and then the scene ends. Time to celebrate, uh, gay Mets guy!

'AVENGERS: ENDGAME' HAS THE MCU'S FIRST NONILLY GAY CHARACTER

Joe, one of the two Rso brothers who directed Endgame, plays the gay character himself.

“It was important to as we did four of the films, we wanted a gay character somewhere them, ” Joe said. Star Trek Beyond ma John Cho’s Sulu gay wh a man-hug that you probably wouldn’t have noticed if weren’t for the disurse that spng up around .

Bety and the Beast gave LeFou that famo “exclively gay moment” that amounted to a short dance wh a henchman. ) Includg a scene wh a gay character as mor as this don’t rectify that realy, jt mak the overwhelmg samens of the rt of the enterprise more stark. This isn’t to say that I don’t appreciate seeg gay characters appear on screen, or that I want studs to stop pictg them.

AVENGERS: ENDGAME'S OPENLY GAY CHARACTER WAS "JT MEANT TO BE A MATTER OF FACT"

Consirg how tied a movie’s succs is to the ternatnal box office — and how some untry’s ernments feel about homosexualy (see Bohemian Rhapsody’s Cha ed) — is,  an abstract, unemotnal way, imprsive that the Rso brothers got such a direct mentn of homosexualy to Avengers: Endgame. — to be lookg to st a gay Asian lead. Anyway, ngrats to the gay Mets guy on his date.
