'As a hardcore LGBTQ+ MCU fan, seeing them kiss on the big screen really meant a lot, and I couldn't stop crying.'

After local sensors in the Gulf countries requested certain edits be made, Disney refused. Speaking to, Haaz — who is gay and of Lebanese descent — said he was emotional at Disney's response to the ban."They stood their ground and said, 'Nope, we are not going to compromise the integrity of our film.' It made these Arab countries look so ignorant and pathetic."He continued,"I have no respect for those governments.

This is so pathetic. You would cry over a gay kiss in a comic movie? Did you miss all the gay characters in mass entertainment for literally the last 25 years? Can we stop pretending that it became ok to be gay 1 year ago?

Movie is bombing at the box office

Him being gay literally didn't change anything

And Where the characters interesting and was the story compelling that’s all that really matters

I cry when people pander to me just for a little money too.

yes all LGB ALPHABET people should not be treat differently then any other mentally handicapped person.

You’d think half the world was queer the way these companies try to pander to them

Oh ffs man. Give a me a break. lmao What the fuck is your obsession with 'affirming' gender identities. How, among every other issue plaguing this world, has THIS become the biggest one people need addressed? There's not enough people fucking the kinds of people you want to fuck.

CAPITAN DICKBUTT!!!!!!

And if all you ask from a movie is representation then that's all you get. The movie could still also be good. You're like cats that dance for the shiny object of inclusion, instead of judging a movie on its substance.

OMG a quote from my tweet thank u buzzfeed bestie!!!!!

I’m sure because the world just revolves around that community and everything that they want and as soon as someone says anything about them they were immediately canceled. So sick of the world catering to certain people, that never leads to anything good.

Adam and Eve…. Noah and his wife and their three sons and wives started all this! You need sperm and eggs never forget that! Not spam and eggs

To those calling this pandering, this was the writer and director's idea and they seem very genuine about this. The director is even fighting back against the movie getting censored in China like previous movies which Disney probably wouldn't do if this was just a money thing.

and I couldn't stop crying Seriously? Get a grip

Who cares. Ppl are what they are. Why is it news?!

Always gay gay gay. When are they going to hire based on talent and not because they are gay or from a “diverse” background ?

It’s a mistake

I thought that was the dudes older son up until they kissed 😂😬

But the actor is straight? Wasn’t this a no no months ago when they wanted only gay actors to play gay characters? But cause it’s marvel is beautiful and ‘I can’t stop crying’ which is it?

lmao in pakistan they removed all kissing scenes and the sex scene from the movie

well done for having a comic book accurate character Marvel? Idk haven't seen it but as someone who is Bi I em.... don't care really xD I just wanna see people smacking the crap out of each other lol

I think it’s time superhero movies are put to rest. This next marvel phase is going to be a disaster and DC just sucks.

Man, I wish I was LGBTQ+ so I could make everything about me.

Dude…………Deadpool is pansexual

Aight. But what of the messy story?

Many many more? Do you know if the whole world would be gay, they won't have kids... and thats it, No future, its not a sustainable long term mindset, being gay is disruptive and unnatural. I would only be comfortable with less that 1percent humans being gay. Just like 🤡.

I remember when heros weren't weaponized to further woke destruction

It was a solid movie all around. I don’t understand the negative reviews.

Ewwwww!!!

You know being gay isnt personality trait right? Not matter movie sucks important is its there gay person oh my hollyweird 😅

🤡

People really need to stop needing this. There are tons lgbt characters in fiction. Not every franchise needs them.

Sad that that’s literally how they are trying to market these movies. Word of advise diversity can’t carry a movie.

So why is it that gays like to pretend that bisexuals don't exist?

Disney doesn't give two shits about the LGTB+ community. They don't greenlight films or tv projects from said community letting them tell the stories they want to tell. But they'll throw in a gay kiss in a movie to generate buzz like this to make it seem like they do, they don't

Sorry I’m not with that gay stuff

How many first lgbtq heroes has marvel have already

If you’re crying over this then your life must be great. I envy you

brainwashing at max speed

All I know is this movie was good the ones that’s butt hurt about it is just complaining cause it had gays on there, they have nothing to not that deep it was a pretty descent movie.I can understand their are some seems that is a little questionable🤔🤷🏾‍♀️

I wonder how they'll get cut out in foreign markets

Why not just come up with fresh new gay characters? I think it would make more sense and be able to flesh out the characters rather than shoehorn them in to existing ips

Nobody cares

Crying? Dramatic much?

Man I thought the gays would be done finding stuff to whine about now they can get married...biggest cry babies on planet earth

And then they’ll forget about him because Marvel is owned by Di$ney, who is a known panderer who, from what I’ve heard, will not only treat LGBTQ+ workers poorly, but will also cancel shows if any LGBTQ+ themes in them as to follow a far-right agenda that only Trump would approve

Yeah, it only took them 12 fucking years. Please.

Just watched the movie. Pretty shitty We got the eternarls, super old beings presumed to be aliens to later find out that they are actually super advance robot-like beigns that don't age with super powers. But they act like high-schoolers with all their teenage love drama

So brave

Wow. So cool

wait Northstar isn't in this thing at all

It was funny it was cute it was adventurous. The story gets kind of wacky at times but it’s about people from space so what are we saying really. I literally didn’t even notice the kiss The representation felt appropriate and not pandery. Dudebros are fragile tho.

People so say it’s bad are repressed homosexuals. I will not elaborate.

Boycotting this trash film

50 years from now Marvel will release the first LGBTQ+ character

Not only did they show Phastos in a healthy, complete, relationship, but the he was smart, capable and a badass. The way he soloed one of the main antagonists at the end was:

It doesnt mean shit of they take it out to appease bigots in other countries...the lengths yall go to bend the knee to the mouse is astounding.

I came here for the comments. I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed. As soon as I scrolled down…

No wonder it has bad reviews. The homophobics on both sides have shifted their attacks from direct to beating around the Bush.
