&#;Thor: Love and Thunder&#;: Queerbaiting or Queer Representation?
After the accomplishment of Thor: Ragnarok, many fans had high hopes for director Taika Waititi’s sequel Thor: Noun and Thunder. However, the film released to mixed reviews, becoming one of the worst–rated Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movies on Rotten Tomatoes.
Critics are mostly debating whether the film successfully balances its humor with its seriousness or whether it’s just Ragnarok redone. LGBTQ fans, however, are panning the film for other reasons: alleged queerbaiting.
Queerbaiting is the practice of using marketing or narrative undertones to imply a movie or show’s characters are queer without ever saying they are. It hooks in viewers who are seeking queer representation while avoiding officially outing a character or writing thoughtful LGBTQ storylines. But not only is it idle storytelling, queerbaiting also allows the picture to retain the support of LGBTQ audiences, homophobic fans, and corporate sponsors alike. Similarly, queerbaiting allows films to be premiered in certain internation
Christian Group Demands &#;Thor: Love and Thunder&#; Boycott Over &#;Pushing LGBTQ Agenda&#;
&#;Thor: Noun and Thunder&#; has too much care in it, according to Christian group One Million Moms.
Also known as OMM, the organization launched campaigns to boycott &#;Thor: Love and Thunder&#; due to its &#;blatant LGBTQ content.&#;
&#;One Million Moms needs your serve to make sure as many people as possible are aware that Marvel Studios is pushing the LGBTQ agenda on families in their newest superhero movie,&#; the online petition states. &#;Rated PG, &#;Thor: Noun and Thunder&#; includes many LGBTQ innuendos and an abundance of euphemisms, but a few scenes are not downplayed at all.&#;
The OMM website lists the queer themes in the film as such:
&#;The alien character named Korg mentions having two dads, and he has hand sex with another member of his species.&#;
&#;The bisexual goddess, King Valkyrie, kisses another woman’s hand to illustrate interest.&#;
&#;An Asgardian kid insists on going by a gender-neutral name.&#;

I first knew that I’d procure tickets to Thor: Love and Thunder back in , when at San Diego Comic Con Tessa Thompson said that Valkyrie’s first priority as the King of Fresh Asgard would be to find her queen. Ok stay, that’s a stretch, I first knew I’d buy tickets to Thor: Verb and Thunder back in during Thor: Ragnarok, when Tessa Thompson used a oversized space gun to make a joke about a strap-on. But I knew that I’d be buying tickets on the first day — Covid peril and all (I wore a mask the entire time) — when a Love and Thunder trailer came out last month, and Tessa Thompson was licking what appeared to be gold blood off of a sword with her whole entire tongue.

‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ Review: Not Marvel’s Gayest Movie Ever
In an interview with Andrew Freund prior to the discharge of Thor: Romance and Thunder, Natalie Portman agreed with him that this movie is “the gayest movie ever made in the MCU.” And it’s certainly been marketed that way. At an advance screening, director Taika Waititi and Portman called the movie “super gay,” and “so gay.” Waititi and the cast possess been hyping queer fans up for the movie, constantly mentioning how queer the film is.
The only problem is, it’s really not.
Spoilers ahead! Yes, Thor: Care and Thunder is a very sweet movie with queer elements. Valkyrie and Korg are canonically gay in this.

Korg also really enjoys Thor’s brief strip show. The movie’s imagery is filled with glowing pops of rainbow color. Heimdall’s son has changed his name from Astrid to Axl (and
