Star-Lord Comes Out As Bisexual -

Another Marvel Comics character has come out as queer – this time it is Guardians Of The Galaxy’s Peter Quill aka Star-Lord who reveals he is bisexual.

Actor Chris Pratt, who has faced the rap in recent months for his association with a notorious anti-LGBTQI church, portrays Star-Lord in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is not clear whether the news that Star-Lord is bisexual, will have any impact on the story arc when Pratt returns to play the character in the forthcoming MCU film Thor: Love And Thunderin 2022.

Star-Lord’s coming out as bisexual happened in the new one-off issue, I Shall Make You A Star-Lord by British writer Al Ewing, artist Juann Cabal, colourist Federico Blee and letterer Cory Petit. Ewing had in 2014 also confirmed that Loki was bisexual and gender fluid. “Loki is bi and I’ll be touching on that. He’ll shift between genders occasionally as well,” Ewing had said in a Tumblr post then.

I Shall Make You A Star-Lord reveals that Peter did not die in a fatal explosion in a previous issue and was actually trapped in a parallel universe on the planet Morinus for 140 years.

On the planet, he first declines and then starts a polyamorous relationship with a humanoid couple Morunus and Aradia. Peter’s initial reluctance had to do with the fact that he had left behind his girlfriend Gamora. Twelve years into his stay on Morinus, Star-Lord finds the charms of his companions hard to resist. The coming out happens effortlessly as he shares an intimate romantic moment with Morunus and Aradia in a bath in an ancient temple. At the end of the issue, as his enemies discover him on Morinus, Star-Lord makes his way back to his home after a tearful farewell with Aradia as Morunus fights off and distracts the Gods of New Olympus who are after Peter.

While fans were thrilled about this new development, they wondered if Pratt would play the character as bisexual.

“Starlord discovering he is bisexual is pretty cool. More bisexual representation is always nice and honestly makes sense since he grew up in space. Would love to see it touched on in the Guardians of the Galaxy 3 movie” wrote a social media user.

For the record Pratt has denied accusations that his church (he attends the Zoe Church, that is associated with the Hillsong church that he used to earlier attend) was against the LGBTQI community. “It has recently been suggested that I belong to a church which ‘hates a certain group of people’ and is ‘infamously anti-LGBTQ.’ Nothing could be further from the truth. I go to a church that opens its doors to absolutely everyone,” Pratt had said in an Instagram post, adding that he had seen his church support people “regardless of sexual orientation, race or gender.”

Marvel has had queer characters before – Loki is bisexual and gender fluid, Kronan warrior Korg has come out as gay, Wakandan super warrior Okoye is lesbian, one of the Captain Marvel versions is played by a lesbian character and Deadpool is pansexual.

Marvel films have been criticised for lack of LGBTQI representation but has had token, blink-and-you-miss-it moments in recent times. However, some forthcoming Marvel films promise to do more. Marvel’s first gay character will be in the forthcoming The Eternals, with gay superhero Phastos played by actor Bryan Tyree Henry sharing an onscreen kiss with his husband, played by Haaz Sleiman. This year in January, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige had said that the MCU will soon have a transgender character. Then the Dr Strange sequel Multiverse Of Madness (2022) will have actor Xochitl Gomez in the role of lesbian teenage superhero America Chavez.

They should celebrate Star Lord's newfound bisexuality by having him get fucked up the ass by a CGI leather daddy or two in a graphic and sweaty twenty minute scene in the next movie. And every child in America should be forced to watch because it is so important and so brave and so beautiful.

Oh boy cant wait to see Starlord getting RAMMED by Drax on the big screen ^^ !
(Exiting times indeed)....

This doesn't mean he is bisexual lmao. Plus he outright says he has a girl waiting for him at home.

Wait, he did it himself? So dimensional merge IS real...

While it works as "oh so inclusive" pandering, my money is on this being just a way for the writer to try and piss off Pratt and get a reaction out of him to use in further virtue signaling.

My hope is that Pratt simply never even mentions this, nothing will infuriate them more.

It would be even funnier if Pratt just fucked off from the franchise. Good luck getting a replacement that people will accept.

Give it a few years and that's where the culture will be at unironically.

Starlord gets trapped in another dimension for 140 years and is groomed by a couple of genderspecial aliens and that's the kind of lesson they want to teach? That eventually everyone turns gay?

I remember reading some sci fi books about aliens that change sex as they age or go through reproductive cycle. I can see that being a avenue for all this inclusion like oh hey remember that hot alien who were chasing welp its a man now, in about 5 years it will be a woman again etc.

 

[annoyingfuck]

They have to fucking corrupt everything, don't they?

Frogs, no one had too much of an idea about what aliens are back then, so why not base them on frogs, little green men after all.

I feel like there's a good chance he won't. With Marvel comics/media, there's either a pretty big separation between what happens in the movies vs the comics, or the comics are influenced by the movies, usually to make the titles more appealing to the movie goers who would otherwise be uninterested in picking up comics.
