You know, Romeo and Juliet makes a lot more sense if you consider the suicides in the context of the rest of their lives.
Like, Juliet was being forced into a marriage she didn’t want. Romeo was living on the run. So it’s not just about “woe my lover is dead” it’s more “woe my lover is dead and my entire life situation sucks, and I have no way out”
So, I know a lot of people who were really disappointed that in infinity war there was no sherlock reference, namely the “no s***, sherlock” quip between RDJ & Benedict, but most people don’t actually realize that there was one, and it was so subtle and I loved it.
RDJ turns to Benedict after suggesting they meet thanos on titan, and he goes “Doctor, do you concur?”
Clickbait title, the “problematic” part is more a criticism of the fact it took an R-Rated movie to deliver us awesome girlfriends like Yukio and Negasonic, while many franchises more kid-friendly, like MCU, failed to have any LGBTQ representation.

I was getting ready to whirl the person who wrote this into the sun to punish them for talkin’ shit about these Cute Nuggets before I read your comment so thank you for calming my Angry Heart
And ye clickbait title aside it is indeed hella problematic that NONE of the other superhero movies out there that aren’t rated R have included the tiniest scrap of LGBTQIA representation
This says so much about how FANTASTIC Deadpool is and how far behind it the entire MCU is.
One of the suits at Disney has apparently said they’re “Open” (Translation: never going to) to doing more R rated Deadpool films “As long as they let audiences know what they’re in for”
Yes I can see how they’d have to warn audiences beforehand since they’re going to experience something radically different from the vast majority of Marvel movies beforehand
Diversity and Representation
Oh and some violence and swearing
Not like the Good Wholesome PG-13 rated Marvel movies that gave us scenes like Loki having his throat crushed and blood filling his eyes as he died a slow and painful death
Or Nebula being strung up and tortured
Or Rona the Accuser smashing a dudes head to paste with a giant fuckin hammer
Or had superheroes throwing around the words shit, bastard and asshole at least once a film
But no this will be a movie that’s only suitable for adults in Marvel’s eyes because it might have a a pansexual lead who doesn’t No Homo every interaction he has with another male character and has a canonically lesbian couple in its cast
Stuff that is far too adult for the movie universe that just had a film end with a universe wide act of genocide
The MCU: where characters we love can die in horrifying, painful ways, but we cannot DARE to show Valkyrie being openly bisexual on screen because that IS NOT FREINDLY FOR THE FAMILY
Literally the first film in the whole MCU kicked off with lapdancing stewardesses, followed on that with someone being abducted and threatened with torture by terrorists
But you know
As far as Marvel is concerned a woman holding her girlfriend’s hand and being openly lesbian can only happen in an R rated movie ._.
The Avengers are a team of Witches and Wizards fighting against the Dark Lord Thanos.
Tony is the mad Wizarding inventor who is a genius with a wand. Bruce is a part-time healer, full-time shape-shifting werewolf. Clint and Natasha are Unspeakables. Thor is a Quidditch beater. And Auror Steve has one hell of a shield charm.
(Oh, and Loki is a Death Eater, which no one is surprised about)
Just needed to add an imperio’d Bucky as the Winter Sorcerer and Peggy in Steve’s compass…
Oh! And Peter going to Hogwarts having Harry Potter like adventures. And Mad Eye Fury is Head of the Department of Mysteries…
And T’Challa, who is from the completely magical kingdom of Wakanda (and has an Animagus that is a black panther). And Scott, who has been incarcerated in Azkaban.
Oh, and I missed Quidditch Warrior Thor the first time (who usually prefers being a beater) so here he is with Wanda, who is a defected ex-Death Eater
