Captain America’s ‘heterosexual virility’ lamented by Vanity Fair [Just Kill Me Now...]
Washington Times ^ | 05/09/2016 | Douglas Ernst

Vanity Fair has weighed in on the blockbuster movie “Captain America: Civil War” to lament the hero’s “heterosexual virility.”

Marvel Studios and Disney’s latest installment wowed audiences in North America to the tune of $181 million last weekend, but Vanity Fair writer Joanna Robinson left the theater disappointed. Her reason: Chris Evans’ character, super soldier Captain America, got nostalgic for his “skirt-chasing” days with best friend “Bucky” Barnes.

Robinson said directors Joe and Anthony Russo should not have said fans may “interpret the relationship [with Bucky] however they want to interpret it” since the character explicitly makes clear his attraction to women.

“As if to put the nail in the coffin of speculation, Bucky and Cap paused for a moment in the middle of snowy Siberia to reminisce about their days chasing skirts in pre-War Brooklyn,” Ms. Robinson wrote Sunday. “It’s a sweet, human bonding moment but one that also bristles with heterosexual virility. If Disney isn’t inclined to give audiences a gay superhero, couldn’t they have at least left us the dream of Bucky and Cap? … Doesn’t ‘Captain America: Civil War’ go out of its way to “define” Bucky and Steve’s relationship when Cap smooches Sharon Carter (Emily VanCamp) while Bucky looks on approvingly? Where’s the room for interpretation in that moment?”

I’m guessing at LEAST 6 cats. . .

Nah, probably four. When she gets over that it's feline fricassee with plum sauce.

Here’s my take:

She can’t stand the idea that attractive, virile males go after hot, sexy women.

It makes her feel better to think that those men really like other men, and aren’t repulsed by, or rejecting, her.

Same reason ugly women have homo male friends. They can tell everyone “Oh, I don’t have to worry about Francis trying to get into my pants, he’s gay.” The truth is she doesn’t have to worry about any guy trying to get into her pants.

Well, ok,

With her girlfriend and a couple of gay blade girly men. What a charming microcosm of everything that’s wrong with our culture!

Meaningless fake outrage to get more people interested in Disney’s bland comic book movies.

There’s plenty of them, they even create alternate universe gay superhero pairs in comic books. I don’t know why some people aren’t happy with those. I mean DC and Marvel both have alternate universe versions of Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Colossus, etc., that are homosexual. I don’t know why those are not broadcasted as some entertainment specialist when they whine so much about it.

...somehow it is our duty to be treated like trash.

It is our duty to understand who our rulers are. The pervs, trannies, etc., are just useful pawns, but they aren't the rulers.

They should be very afraid, because their usefulness to the rulers is the only thing that keeps them from the wall.

I can't believe anyone would watch this movie and THAT is what they would be focused on.

BTW this was the best of the Marvel movies so far. It's the first one that nailed the Spiderman character.

Really, a movie where men are men? Hate to break this to this dullards, but homosexuals are about 1% of the population. they are so grossly over represented in film and TV that if Blacks were over represented by the same margins, you wouldn’t be able to find an actor or actress of any other color in most shows.

Well, my three all-time favorite Marvel heroes are (in order) Captain America, Black Widow and Black Panther, so you can just imagine how ecstatic I was with it...! ;)

there’s Batman and Robin. . .

Liberals prefer Buttman and his boy Swallow.
