Maybe this is silly but I DO have one major compliant with the Deadpool movies.
They’re so…heteronormative.
Listen, Deadpool is canonically Pansexual (or Bisexual I forget-) so like where’s the flavor?? The zest???
It only comes out in jokes in the movies and it really irks me.
Like, movie one is: rescue girlfriend. Movie two is: girlfriend dying thus ruining life, then messing with the timeline to save that girlfriend. Movie three is: wanting to save the world and matter/mean something…because of ex-girlfriend.
And like OBVIOUSLYYYYY Bi and Pan people can and are in relationships that are with people that are the opposite sex.
But like…this is Marvel and this is Disney we’re talking about. And it feels very much “we’re going to present this character so heteronormative that everyone remembers him as a straight man and then we can sell to more viewers (esp overseas)”
It just FEELS like they’re shoving a blatantly hetero narrative down our throats which they seem to like to do with ALL their superhero/Marvel movies.
