#and 'first gay marvel character!' and it's kevin feige in a fuckin' ballcap during the timeskip saying his husband (gasp!) got snapped

hey yall so the article screenshotted in the og post is from 2016 (last edited 2017) and it's actually talking about the first deadpool movie. (article link)

below is a full screenshot of the title + author and the caption, which makes it clear that the author isn't necessarily claiming deadpool is straight, he's just extremely disappointed that deadpool in the first movie seemed too straight.

his gripe was that the director confirmed movie!deadpool is pansexual but it was marketed as a bigger deal than it turned out to be in the movie, so as a gay man himself, the author was disappointed. pansexual people are attracted to any/all genders so ofc wade's romance with vanessa doesn't make wade any less queer (honestly imo the author's opinion does come off bipanphobic), but the author mostly just seemed let down that any jokes that might've hinted toward his pansexuality didn't come clear enough to feel affirming to him as a queer viewer, esp after all the hullabaloo surrounding deadpool's queerness.

that being said:

i think the author of that article would be pleased to watch deadpool 3 and see that reynolds is at least trying with the odyssey scene and the exorbitant amount of touching and invading-personal-space poolverine does in the movie to back up all the blatantly queer deadpool 3 marketing, and relying on that power of the imagination from the fans to connect the rest of those dots. at the end of the day, it's still more in disney's hands than it is in ryan reynolds's 😔 but it is way harder to call deadpool straight after watching deadpool 3 than it is to watch deadpool 1 and i think that's what matters here.

fascinated by people claiming that deadpool is straight meanwhile here's how they marketed Deadpool 3:
