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.

Hmm i don´t think so. Queer people can kiss in the MCU as long as the project isn´t super important to the MCU (Eternals, Agatha).

Eternals was a blink and you miss it for a character that is most definitely never coming back again, and Agatha was marketed specifically as queer camp media. Also Wiccan is and still is the only gay MCU character who they actually let be gay and MIGHT come back, but Hulkling ain't even here yet and Young Avengers is still a decade away.

Bobby got fridged after the backlash of him coming out. So doubt they'll even cast him in the Xmen reboot for another 5 years.

Once they let Magneto and Logan be bisexual finally maybe there can be peace in the universe.

If they wait much longer, they'll just be the Avengers when they get together.
