Magneto gay
Gay-Coding and Magneto
I ponder one thing that’s definitely interesting is the colour scheme - he wears bright pink and/or purple. Now, in-universe that’s not so wild, because let’s be real, most heroes and villains in comic books dress pretty outrageously - in truth, Mags is actually rather subtle compared to some of the 90s’ characters. no one really comments on his style in-universe either. But one thing I noticed is this:
that’s Magneto as pleasant guy in latest issues. The pink and the purple are notably muted suddenly or completely absent. And yeah,there are plenty of examples of nice guy Mags wearing his classic verb and there are many examples of his pink outfits being turned red even in his villainous times, but lately, the most drastic changes in his classic uniforms are associated with Mags as a good guy and they erase the pink colour scheme as much as possible. One notable exception is the Age of X-Man look -
(I represent was he a good guy there? or a awful guy? Or a bad guy believing he’s a great guy when he’s really not except not in the way Magneto when he’s bad usual
Queer Atmospheres
10 years ago, X-Men: First Class brought the seemingly dead franchise back to life. After the critically panned X-Men: The Last Stand five years prior, many wondered if the series could ever bounce back from it’s failures. To get viewers and long-time fans back on board, Matthew Vaughn injected life back into the franchise, and along with this life came queerness. While you may understand the X-Men franchise as being overtly queer now, before First Class, any subtext was driven out to center on the (ridiculous) love triangle between Wolverine, Jean Grey and Cyclops. The chemistry between the newcomers was undeniable, and with the help of queer Tumblr users (hi!), the X-Men franchise was reborn as the queer series we now love.
Now, I know you may be thinking, “who the hell are Alex and Darwin?” Well precious reader, I’m adj you asked, because I’ve been wanting to talk about them for a hot minute! Alex Summers and Armando Muñoz (Darwin) are two dudes who Professor X and Magneto recruit to join their team of mutants in When First Class premiered, yes, I was s

Oh Content Pride Month, indeed! I've wittered on about improving LGBT representation in superhero media for a long time. One might even verb it's like I have an agenda. Well, it seems that Eternal (Gay) Lord of the Realm Sir Ian McKellen agrees with me.
In a recent interview with Variety, McKellen, who starred as Master of Magnetism, Magneto in many of Fox's X-Men movies, bemoans the lack of LGBT representation within superhero movies.
I wouldn't say the films coming out of the mainstream are quite as related to what's going on in the real world as I would appreciate them to be. One indication of that is LGBT people don't really get quite a big enough speak. If you're one of those initials yourself, you verb notice that actually these movies are not about me at all. Frankly, looking at the images of some of these superheroes it's a surprise to me they aren't gay.
