At which point does subtext stop being subtext?
>>155675463So does Johnny Storm operate on that Bugs Bunny logic of gayness or what?
>>155675864Less that and more people really want him to be a faggot both for diversity and to punish the character for being a fuck boy.
>>155675883Still it’s strange to see him put in these very sus moments. Yet they leave enough room to not explicitly “confirm” him being gay or bi. Yet with Iceman he was outed before he even knew he was in. Is it because Human Torch is a more popular character? Cause at this rate editorial can only play the long game for so long before they capitulate one way or another.
>>155675463When you stop being a COWARD!
>>155676299That’s Marvel as a whole nowadays.
>>155675463>At which point does subtext stop being subtext?Same can be said for Steve and Tony
>>155676385Or Quill and Rider.
>>155676385>Steve and TonyThey even had the gall to no homo it when showing them married in an alternate universe.
>>155676573
>>155676385>civil war took this from youEven if they made up later, it was never the same after that.
>>155678032Not familiar. Mind giving a quick rundown?
Are there any comic book characters left who are still straight?
>>155678825Batman, Superman, Spider-Man...Pretty much every character the average laymen is familiar with.
>>155675883>a male character is notoriously sexually promiscuous >they must be gay or at the very least Bisexual What do the Fans and Writers of Marvel Comics—The World's Greatest Comic Magazine— mean by this?
>>155678875Beats me.
>>155678875Gays are sluts, presumably.
>>155675522Marjorie Liu had something cooking.
Lyja is Johnny's only worthwhile love interest
>>155676299spbp
>>155678875That the line between a heterosexual horndog and a homosexual horndog is thinner than most folks think?
>>155679857So where's the cut between the two?
>>155675522That first panel is crazy.
>>155680671The creatives behind it knew what they were doing. And honestly it would've been interesting if it became official.
>>155680702I'm surprised she was allowed to admit that but I guess editorial didn't mind.
Why is marvel just gay porn now?
Johnny flirting with anyone/anything seems in character
>>155675463So, who thought giving Johnny a dolphin dick sucking stache was a good idea?
>>155680831>gay pornIf it was it would at least be selling double than it already does.
>>155680784I guess she wasn't bogged down by NDA's or something like that. Then again it must have slipped past editorial or they didn't care in that instance, like you say. I also think before Bendis had made Iceman gay. She also sprinkled in a few ideas about that as well before when she wrote for his character.
>>155676385>>155676573Apocalypse and Rictor also come to mind.
>>155680845>a dolphin dick sucking stacheThat's a new sentence.
>>155675522>after a life of murder, rape, and manipulation, Daken is redeemed as the token homo hapa rep of the Wolverine familyX-23 fags won, fucking Romulus wasn’t butchered this hard
>>155681260>homobisexual actually and ever since he's been "redeemed" we've mostly seen him with women
>>155678868Batman, Superman, and Spider-man were all victims of the dick.
>>155681997Still straight. Also, what comic book hero hasn't been assaulted at this rate?
>>155680841true
>>155680935Magneto and Xavier.

It remains subtext as long as Marvel corporate keeps saying "No, you can't make Johnny Storm gay."
