We Need To Communicate About James Gunn - Quill’s Scribbles

This could prove to be the most controversial Scribble I’ve ever written on this blog, and the sad thing is it really shouldn’t be, in my opinion.

First off, a couple of disclaimers because I know some people are going to accuse me of ‘bias’. I’ve never been very fond of James Gunn as a filmmaker, it’s true. I mind the first Guardians Of The Galaxy movie was okay at best and I absolutely hated the sequel, but I confess that’s less to undertake with any characteristic flaws in the films themselves and more to execute with the evidence that I just don’t like Gunn’s style of humour. Oh don’t procure me wrong. There are still legitimate problems, which I’ll go into later when they grow relevant, but I’m big enough to admit that my dislike for his brand of comedy and storytelling is merely due to my own subjective tastes (the similar is true of Taika Waititi and Thor: Ragnarok).

Okay. So. Let’s talk about James Gunn.

As I’m sure most of you know, in July 2018, an alt-right conspiracy theorist called Mike Cernovich unearthed tweets made by Gunn between 2008 and 2012 where he made offensive jokes and remarks about sensitive topics such a

Kamen Rider Zero-One has an explicitly genderqueer Rider, so it isn’t like Kamen Rider hasn’t already acknowledged that there are people out there besides direct men and women who watch and enjoy the exhibit and would devotion to see themselves represented. Hell, although Naki’s the first canon LGBT character, their actor, Satsuki Nakayama, is the third LGBT cast member I can think of, after the actress who played Yu Kamimura, the Doughnut Shop Hungry managed (a trans-girl, who transitioned after filming wrapped), and the player who played Onari (non-binary, like Nakayama). Expanded social models would not be new to Kamen Rider at all.

As these stories journeyed from paper to the silver screen, creative minds like James Gunn have shaped their evolution. Over time, the comic publication realm, once a stronghold of straight male and female leads, opened its doors to a more diverse spectrum of characters. Now, Supergirl, one of the most relatable heroines, finds herself at the center of speculation surrounding her sexuality.

Never understood why people don't have a problem with this mentality. Insisting that someone must be homosexual because they don't conform to cliche hetrosexual standards should be highly disgusting.

This just results in all characters being coded as heterosexual, which is worse. Characters have always been coded as queer since contemporary media began, mostly because they weren't allowed to be clearly described as being queer. In the past it tended to be more villains, mostly due to the Hayes Code and the lingering tropes it left behind, and you still notice it with a lot of Disney villains. But nearly all of them have been adopted as a sort of amusing representation by the LGBTQ community since until recently there was no voice. You don't really spot as much coding today because even children's cartoons include openly queer characters (Steven Universe, She-Ra, Adventure Time) without even having to address that they're different, normalizing them. Now coding is mostly banter the audience because someone running the show is afraid to make it clear for some reason or another
