Phastos And Ben - Tumblr Posts

No bcs i started crying during the phastos and fam scene while watching eternals for the first time. It made me so happy to see queer poc rep, and especially TRUE queer rep, not whatever it is they botched with loki.

Marvel fans who genuinely want lgbtq representation:

“we want gay rep!”

Marvel:

“here’s phastos. Also, he has a husband and an adorable son. We’re also going to have him give you the first gay kiss on the big screen in the mcu. “

Marvel fans who genuinely want lgbtq representation: “YES!!”

Marvel fans that just want to sexualize homosexuality:

“No, we wanted that with WHITE people. Also they need to be a lot younger. We have a few characters you can select from…”

marvel incels and critics:

“we literally didn’t want any of that…. Like at all.”

I was rewatching eternals (as you do), and i started to get teary-eyed during the phastos and his fam scene. In theaters i was full on sobbing, like tears running down my face. I think this says a lot about how little queer rep there is in mainstream media.
