Deadpool gay moments

Ryan Reynolds recently broke the internet with a team-up announcement for Deadpool 3, but behind the scenes, Reynolds has been pushing Marvel to show a different side of Wade Wilson. The very first poster put the pair's masks together in a broken heart necklace with the caption " Come together", followed by another where Deadpool caressed Wolverine's claws in a riff on material from 's Logan.

This isn't the first time Marvel or Disney have failed in this moment. Well, if you measure gayness by gay many times penises are mentioned and boners are joked about, sure. Co-creator Fabian Nicieza agr. Time and time again, they've hyped up queer characters without actually devoting time or energy to them on screen.

Maybe he saw the posters too. Yep, Wade's boner touched Logan and that's now canon, much to the delight of a thousand fanfic authors worldwide. That's not due to a gay of interest on Deadpool's part though. This time around though, moments like this combine to form a slightly more defined version of Wade's pansexuality that's played for laughs, yes, but laughs with us a bit more than at us.

Then there's the Wolverine popcorn bucket which Deadpool also caressed in a moment where hot liquid butter oozed and drizzled all over the giant opening where his mouth should be. It's extremely '90s, this notion that men loving other men is a punchline, regardless of the intentions behind it.

Or at least, Deadpool is extremely gay for Wolverine. Deadpool each represent a so-called first for Disney and queer representation, yet Strange World and Phastos from Eternals aside, most of these big moments are just that, a "moment", or even worse, they're described as queer in interviews yet aren't depicted as such in the movies themselves.

It's like a riddle of old: What do a lesbian cyclops cop Onwardan awkward director cameo Avengers: Endgameand a blink-and-you'll-miss-it kiss in a galaxy far, far away Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker all have in common? Is Deadpool & Wolverine the Marvel Cinematic Universe's gayest movie yet?

"Deadpool & Wolverine" is gay not because Marvel and Disney decided to let a straight director give some weepy monologue about having a dead husband that can easily be edited out for overseas. Or that Deadpool would later crush on Thor to the point that he even wakes up dreaming about those golden locks and unwieldy Hemsworth biceps?

In the comics, Deadpool is firmly pan-sexual, as confirmed by writer Gerry Duggan. Pegging jokes are par for the course in this franchise, but who would have guessed bottoming itself would ever arch its way into a Marvel movie? What's most surprising though is how the movie kind of follows through on this and sort of gives them a night of passion.

But then the TVA show up outside his door and suddenly, Wade's getting ready for a gangbang, despite not being, "The world's deadpool natural bottom". Things get more complicated, though, when Logan fastballs his way into the mix. All the data suggests that this might actually turn out to be true, financially speaking — but Wade also embodies Jesus in a surprisingly chaste, nigh-on celibate way, despite what the marketing might have you believe.

Both Wade and Logan are canonically queer and sexually fluid in the comics — no matter how much bigots might argue otherwise — but allusions to that in the marketing just amounted to a joke. You don't need to be Madame Web to foresee the answer to that one, although there is a tad more nuance going on here than you might expect from the company that gave us a Wolverine fleshlight.

Deadpool & Wolverine teased a lot more queerness in the marketing, but the final film is far less queer than you might expect, even for Marvel. But alas, it's not meant to be. When a magnet presses their unconscious bodies together, face-to-face, Logan remarks "not all" of Deadpool was asleep before he regained consciousness.

His words, not ours. Based off the posters alone, you might assume that Deadpool and Wolverine are in fact extremely gay for each other. The internet has been left divided over the 'constant gay jokes' in Deadpool & Wolverine - with some people branding them as 'relentless and annoying' and others coming to the Marvel film's.

Deadpool amp Wolverine being

That wasn't the intention we hope but that's still how it came across anyway, the marketing equivalent of pointing at male affection and sniggering the words, "lol gay". And it was a tedious, homophobic one at that. Has Disney actually managed to follow through on all that homoerotic marketing?
