I’m Me. First, Last and Always: Genderfluidity in Film 🌈
Boy making a letterbox list for genderfluid representation is more depressing than I thought. I've got 8 films, 3 of which are short films, one is technically a miniseries (Good Omens), one is a live musical (and not the exact version where the character is the most genderfluid but I’ll take what I can get from Letterbox), and the other 5 are all Marvel films that have Loki in them.
So, please help:
Title quote is from Loki in the Marvel Comic Loki: Agent of Asgard #14.
For years and years in the Marvel comics Loki has been canonically pansexual and genderfluid and that representation is the only reason I managed to finally figure out my own gender. Genderfluid is something not a lot of people understand and some have never heard of, even within the LGBT+ community. And even with the community there are those who think it isn't a real identity, or that we should choose a label and stick with it.
But I'm not static. And I cannot become static. You may see me call myself a girl one day and a boy the next. Whoever I am; I'm me. First, last, and always.
Why a film is on this list:
If the film has a genderfluid character in it. Even if the character is only confirmed as genderfluid by the director/writer/actor though wasn't really shown as genderfluid in the film, it will still count. Marvel films are on here for Loki, despite the films not showing his canon genderfluidity from the comics.
If a director/writer/actor is genderfluid, even if there are no genderfluid characters in the film and even if the character the genderfluid actor is playing isn't genderfluid.
If the character isn't canonically genderfluid, but there is a very strong interpretation/subtext that they could be.
If I don’t end up adding the film you suggest it’s probably because it’s not on letterbox.
Also I am talking specifically about genderfluid characters. So sorry but trans/non-binary/agender/genderqueer characters aren’t going to count on this list.
I’d also love people’s thoughts on putting A Heist with Markiplier and Who Killed Markiplier on here? To me Darkiplier is genderfluid, but I don’t know how popular of a headcannon that is, so let me know what you think.
TLDR; Give me some films that fit this criteria in the replies please! I’ll take animated shorts, short films and miniseries and stage shows as well as feature films because honestly while it would be cool for it just to be films, I’d like the list to be as long as possible. Also documentaries are a-okay as well.
