I feel doing that would be forced, I agree with Kaijuguy, she's already progressive as it is. If they can legit write a compelling relationship for Elsa and some other character, great but if not don't try to force it for progressive brownie points.
Agreeing with Kaijuguy here. In all honesty, when I go see an animated film (which is few and far between these days), I want to be taken away to another world (ex. Kung Fu Panda, Big Hero 6, the upcoming Kubo and the Two Strings) and leave the room feeling better than I did when I walked in. Making Elsa a lesbian, while not necessarily a bad thing, would kinda throw me out of the movie. It's a Disney movie, not a pride rally.
This is the most dumbest thing I have read this week and I have read some truely dumb things this week. It's just as bad as the morons who want Finn and Poe to be a couple. Making a character gay just for the sake of it is an insult to the gay community because its not being done to respect them, it's being done just to get their money.
Well Dorothy and Little Red Riding Hood ended up being a Lesbian Couple in 'Once Upon a Time' but not sure if Disney would go as far as to have Elsa do a Lesbian kiss like they did here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ox3SEvR4nk
I thought people wanted Finn and Poe to be a couple because they had genuine chemistry and complimented each other as characters?
This will never happen. The movie would tank, and probably kill the franchise. Frozen has basically been a license to print money for Disney. They're not going to throw that away.
Or his shuttle bay door opens both ways. Besides if they're going to make a major Star Wars character gay, one of the three newbies is as good a bet as any since there isn't legions of backstory to be contradicted.
I'm glad there's actual conversations about LGBT and whitewashing in the movies on here. They're conversations that need to be had. A straight couple can get married after a few days at most and it's hailed as a terrific romance. A gay couple could be built up over years, movies, or seasons of a show and people would still say it was out of nowhere and forced. Korrasami is one example of it and Poe X Finn would undoubtedly fall victim to this as well.
Really? I only got the impression that Finn and Rey were very close friends, nothing more. Either way regarding this, I really don't care what direction they choose to go, as long as they do it well.
It was pretty clear he was initially hittin' on Rey. The main examples were bragging about being in the resistance on Jakku and later asking if she has a boyfriend. By the end he seemed content about being in the friend-zone with her. I'll just say this about this issue. I just find it an interesting idea is all. I don't love it, I don't hate it. I agree with the sentiment that a gay sexual orientation shouldn't be something that is forced into a character but then again it all depends on the writing and what was previously established. Given from what we saw in The Force Awakens I think it would be a bad idea. With what we saw in Frozen, I'd be fine with it if it was done well. In the end it doesn't really matter because I don't think Disney would try to mess with their most popular franchises and do something that would polarize the audience.
I'll drink to that. To rope this steer back on course a bit, the chances of Elsa getting a love interest of her own (please God don't give them fire powers) will be in direct correlation to how hard they want to bang the realism drum: as a young, attractive noblewoman who obviously has plenty of tradable goods I'd expect there to be eligible bachelors lined up from the palace gates to the docks.
So then they should do a series that is well written and features gay characters that are that way because that is how it was written.
Finn was trying to flirt with Rey for the first maybe third of their screen time together, but she clearly wasn't interested.
Yeah she was just not interested was she, that scene where she's trying to fix the Falcon I thought she was going to brain him with a wrench. Well to be absolutely fair, lacking the talents of Charles Xavier, we don't know what they have planned for Poe, Finn and Rey or how they've been written since Force Awakens doesn't concern itself with a romance - which I consider a strength - so for all we know Poe Dameron is gay but they chose to not draw attention to it in the film since there was no natural way to do so. Or maybe they're all hetero, I dunno. What I do know is that I liked all three of them as new leads and unless they really, really fuck up I don't see myself disliking them for the foreseeable future. Except Kylo Ren Spoiler since he killed Han Solo , that fucker cannot be redeemed and the best he can hope for is to be an epic penultimate boss fight.
I wouldn't want Kylo Ren to be redeemed because we need a badass villan that isn't just Darth Vader 2.0, but I expect he will be.
I certainly agree that the romance doesn't need to be forced. But we need to be making movies that shows kids that yes, LGBT is the norm. It' not something weird or different. There should be more representation for LGBT in the movies, especially something as widely seen by kids as a Disney movie. We should be making an effort to get things to the point that it wouldn't take a kid out of things when you showed them an LGBT couple. Nobody is forcing LGBT on anyone. It'd just be two characters of the same sex who are attracted to each other. I think gay kids should have a high profile Disney movie telling them that they're normal and like everybody else. I remember back when the Korra finale dropped, one of the creators shared a story about how a mother was thrilled that her gay son finally had someone he could relate to in a kid's show as opposed to the otherwise universal depictions of heterosexuality. We need more of that until LGBT is no longer something weird or not-normal. But, as I agreed, don't force it into the story. Have the relationship between the two characters naturally grow. Korrasami grew over the course of a year in real time, but three years in-show. Yet people claim it was forced.
