It’s Not Enough She’s Marvel’s First Leading Female Superhero, Now SJWs Want Captain Marvel to Be Gay

Captain Marvel may be the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s biggest female star, but simply commanding her own movie and having no faults or weaknesses to speak of isn’t enough for the social justice warriors; Captain Marvel must also openly embrace the LGBT lifestyle.

Comic book and nerd culture site, CBR.com, has published an extensive dive into the subject on its website, suggesting that “revealing Captain Marvel as gay would be a winning move for Disney, and an important step forward for the MCU.”

The piece argues that the MCU should embrace “progressive storytelling” more fully after “Avengers: Endgame,” the conclusion to the “Infinity War” saga, and the end of the first generation of Marvel superhero films — and by “progressive storytelling,” it’s apparent they mean targeting specific quotas rather than genuine inclusiveness. Since Marvel already has successful minority superhero franchises (“Black Panther”) and a moderately successful female-led franchise (“Captain Marvel”), it’s simply time to check the next box.

“The Brie Larson-helmed film has opened the door for the studio to make an even bigger statement by presenting the new face of the MCU as a straight-up LGBT character,” CBR opines. “Why can’t the strongest Avenger out there, the one who’s leading the new era of Marvel movies, be gay?”

“The general audience has embraced the hero’s progressive style and what she stands for, inspiring girls and women globally,” they continue. “By making her queer, the studio would jump to the forefront of gay rights everywhere. By presenting Carol Danvers as a feminist, a strong woman, and a hero with an unbreakable will who just so happens to be an LGBT representative would be a remarkable way to help shape the MCU’s future.” (Read more from “It’s Not Enough She’s Marvel’s First Leading Female Superhero, Now SJWs Want Captain Marvel to Be Gay” HERE)
