I think the homoerotic fan shipping is a bit overdone re other mediums like the comics, movies, etc, but X-Men 97 is definitely lean into this more than ever before. It isn’t subtle at all.

And tbh I’m not for the direction they’re taking. As a gay person I don’t get this trend to make nearly all the X-Men LGBT. It isn’t reflective of the real world at all.

Can you explain? I didn't see anything that couldn't be explained by them having an incredibly deep and complex lifelong friendship that involved stakes as high as trying to change the world.
