So James Gunn directed some great Guardians of the Galaxy movies, but Belko Ecperiement must have pushed some corporate buttons. Better fire him and hire a director who doesn't make fun of the pedophilia industry, you know like Bryan Singer - Weinstein can produce.
My thoughts about gay Iceman, no not the Val Kilmer Tom Cruise love interest from Top Gun, Marvel's Iceman, Bobby Drake.
Writer who claims Portland B M Bendis (oh that's why he doesn't go by his first two initials), before leaving by Marvel to write some awful Superman stories for D.C., brought back the original 60's X-Men with travel travel, so he could just write these page-filling snippy dialogue clunks with two Cyclops's and whatnot, oh and a young Jean Grey. Instead of things happening, we could have characters repeatedly use the expression "(...is something I'd never thought I'd ever say...)"
So B.M. Bendis, the man behind a definite tangential aspect of SpiderMansplaining, decides to have the young Iceman tell old Iceman how he's gay. Adult Iceman, who other writers consistently have basically slaying the punanny, says no dude not gay like that. Oh and young Jean Grey tells young Bobby that he's gay because she read his gay thoughts and outs him, which was big news at the time.
Marvel just recently had to fix Bendis' mess by saying okay now BOTH Iceman (Icemen?) have gotta be the gay then, and adult Bobby Drake wasn't serious when he was for years in love with Polaris Lorna Dane Zaladane Darkstar Firestar Jean Grey even oh and his Asian love Jim Lee created in the 90's oh and didn't he have a thing with Rogue too..?
Years ago, Neil Gaiman wrote a Warren Worthington, "the Angel", as someone who was in love with who he thought was "John" Grey before s/he died like Jean always does eventually. This was in line with his character, who never really loved Psylocke or Candi, and makes sense retroactively to just go ahead and say he's gay. But Bendis instead had Warren Worthington fucxin wit Wolverine's daughter clone "X-23", Laura from the new Logan movie.
There were 5 original X-Men.
Iceman was never the gay one.
If Cyclops said he's now gonna go gay after losing Jean/Jean's clone/Emma/etc, that might work with the history. But he'd only be into some redheaded dude. Call me old-fashioned but I'm not ready for gay Cyclops with a blonde.
Hank McCoy, the Beast, had come out in the Grant Morrison run 15 years ago, only as a social experiment, while remaining in love with news reporter Trish Tilby. So gay Beast can be done well.
Here I have included a list of the gayest X-men. You will not find Iceman anywhere. Bottom maybe.
10. Wolverine (everyone knows, Wolvie)
9. Rictor (now actually gay as per Peter David's X-Factor run!)
8. Shatterstar (see above, although creator Rob Liefeld says he's not into it)
7. Maybe this new bearded Colossus after Kitty spurned him (he's an "artist")
6. Cannonball and Sunspot could only be gay with each other, while fathering kids elsewhere.
5. North Star (had big gay wedding event)
4. Magneto, as played by Sir Ian McKellan
3. Professor X, as played by real life Ian McKellan BFF Patrick Stewart
2. Cypher and Warlock become one, Douglock SelfFriend. It don't get no gayer than that except..
1. Gambit. You already know.
Not Iceman dadgum it!
And now Supergirl just cast a trans actor to play one of the most classic DC Legion of Super-Heroes, Dream Girl! Only now it's "Dreamer."
Everyone knows the trans Legionaire should have been Arm Fall-Off Boy! 100% real character!
