Wonder Woman was pretty good. Havent updated in so long because I started a new job out here in Cali 🙏But Im gonna try updating more often now that Im settled. #wonderwoman 83/100
Have a female lead character? Have a canon confirmed lgbt character? Have that canon confirmed lgbt character be the lead female character? Not disappoint? Wonder Woman does a lot of things most Marvel movies don’t have the guts to do
I loved Wonder Woman but what fucking lgbt character? Lol. Beyond a reach.
The main fucking character, do your research before you try to debunk my claims, thanks.Â
I wish it was mentioned in the movie tho
Diana literally lives on an island inhabited solely by women, has never seen a man before she meets Steve, tells him she knows about sexual intercourse and that men are not necessary for pleasure, only for procreation – all that was left was for her to say “by the way, i sleep with girls too”
I get the point being made here, I really do, but softblvcknss is right. Regardless of how heavily it was implied, the film still didn’t overtly address it. It doesn’t count as representation if what’s actually presented onscreen still allows for plausible deniability. Not that I’m saying that was their intention, because I honestly don’t believe it was. But the fact remains that people like the person who commented above can still walk out of the theater fully convinced of Diana’s heterosexuality because nothing in the film directly disputes it. The same can be said of the Amazons as a whole, and Antiope in particular. No one (or at least no one with eyes and a pulse) will argue that Menalippe, Antiope’s lieutenant, was HEAVILY implied to be her lover. Her constant presence at her side, her implicit concern when Antiope was injured while sparring with Diana, and especially her reaction to Antiope’s death all not-so-subtly hint at the true nature of their relationship. But therein lies the problem: that’s all there were. Hints and implications. Nothing explicit. Don’t get me wrong, I’m extremely grateful for what WAS there. It made my tiny, gay-as-a-flannel-covered-rainbow-for-Robin-Wright heart very, very happy. But it’s not enough. Not in 2017. If I’m gonna give you credit for a canon queer character, that character had better be queer IN CANON. And where DC’s cinematic universe is concerned, that means explicitly queer ONSCREEN.
Especially since we all but see Steve’s dick.
(I think the discussion about when does subtext become text is interesting and I would just reblog without commentary but also are hippolyta, antiope and menalippe not sisters?)
