Shazam 2 was a mediocre movie, but made even more so by the totally unnecessary gay character coming out storyline. It was so clumsy and poorly done, and didn't advance the story at all. C'mon. this is a dumb superhero movie for kids. what is the point?

I get it, OP. I hate it when movies have unnecessary heterosexual relationships. Yuck.

I know! It’s so unnecessary to show the norm. How crazy!

Lol expecting norm in a super hero movie.

Hello tgey are flying in the sky but the crazy thing to you is a character is gay. Lol.

P.s. Bert and Ernie are gay

No sh¡t they’re gay. But kudos to Sesame Street for not needing to make their coming out a big to-do. That’s the point.

Did I miss some gay quinceanera … lol

You know what’s funny about this argument is that there’s also an uproar when movies quietly place gay characters in movies. There’s no winning with some people.

Example of such an uproar?

Patrick and sponge bob are gay too.

And Bert and Ernie

And Thelma

It’s not new to us who see.

No, Patrick and Spongebob are not gay lovers. They may be gay, but they are best friends first. Friendship is magic! If anything Spongebob is asexual and Patrick is gay.

Why do bigots immediately want to know what’s going on inside everybody’s bed. They’re gay live with it.

IIRC a handful of years back, Sesame Street said that Bert and Ernie are children, that they are not in a relationship, and that they are best friends. (also, they are puppets.) It's funny that we can't imagine such a close male friendship without assuming that they are gay.

Yeah, there’s nothing wrong with being straight, but if it’s not necessary to the plot, why do they have to shove straight couples in our faces? I don’t need to know what you do in the bedroom.

Right? All these superhero movies have some romantic subplot. Why is that necessary? It doesn't advance the story at all. Often, it's clumsy and poorly done. So unnecessary.

Nice. Do you also watch cartoon porn? You must if you're imagining characters created to be children as gay if they are same sex and friends.

That character was fat inclusive and they had the main as a disabled inclusive kid they also has the diverse family with one Asian parent and one Hispanic parent who adopted Asian Latino black and white kids. They made the movie as inclusive as could be to the point it was eye rolling.

Sounds like a You Problem. Shrug.

Sounds like it's an everyone problem lmao currently a flop and a 51 percent at rotten tomatos.

Their characters are modeled after Saltzman's and his partner, Arnold "Arnie" Glassman a gay couple.

We went to see it this weekend and literally rolled our eyes when they introduced the mandatory gay character during the first few minutes of the movie.
