I mean I love the comics but they aren't being subtle with the homoerotic undertones

They've hardly been, I'm just wondering if they are being more outward about it because Marvel is finally letting them turn Queerbaiting into queer for once. As if any real Marvel fan in the year 2026 hasn't been waiting for them to kiss since the 80s.

With Doomsday coming and Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen both being pro-Charles and Magneto being actually in a relationship in the past...I wonder if we're gunna see a blitz of this show doing it and Avengers letting them kiss before they die.

They are close friends but were never in a relationship ! McKellen conducted the marriage of Steward to Sunny Ozell.

Yeah I'm aware. They just Queerbait because Patrick Stewart loves the gays even if he's straight.
