So Star-Lord fans, what's your reaction?

[Will Evans]

Great so him, MCU Logan, and Lando can all be one offs with each other and still down with the ladies...????

Huh??????????

I was wondering this as well, I don't care for Star-Lord so my reactions was whatever but I wanted to hear an actual fans POV.

What would be your reaction if it had been a character you cared about?

It came out of nowhere, but it got Marvel the headlines they wanted just like most of these reveals do.

That was pretty much the entire purpose here, you nailed it. =)

Wish we had a less clickbaity title for this post but what can you do...

Indifference I would say.

Wolverine, Namor and Doctor Doom could be bisexual and I'd feel the same way about them.

Same here, no biggie.

[Tofali]

Now that Marvel made him as bisexual, what's your response and how will you feel about it?

I don't mind the change but i'm side-eying the reason why I follow both comic and movie and IMHO I found the ploy to be ineffectual in the grand scheme of things even though i dislike that Pratt is part of a church that advocates conversion therapy (that is the central issue if i'm not mistaken). Ewing is scoring points in an echo chamber and at the same time hoping to embarrass Pratt to change his church (i'm guessing that is the objective). We will see if it will be successful.

I'm not expecting it to come up again.

This. I doubt it get explored in any depth and since I doubt this ever gets rolled into the MCU I don’t see it being incorporated into his character on any significant level. As another poster said, it’s scoring points in an echo chamber. No one outside comics will care much and it’ll be quickly forgotten. Hell I read comics and I don’t care because this is obviously a dig at Pratt for some weird reason. A funny dig, but one that I doubt will change his beliefs or how his character is used in more relevant mediums.

An interesting concept. Always open to new possibilities. I agree with other posters, considering the setting, Star-Lord's sexuality should be pretty broad. GotG is quietly becoming a team representing LGBTQ. Herc and Marvel Boy are an item. As are Moondragon and Phyla.

I hope this isn't the only reason because, frankly, it seems petty if it is.

Personally felt it was unnecessary and just done for the sake of doing it, someone at Marvel just wanted to make another major character part of the LGBT community and ignore said character's previously established history as a womanizer (though admittedly that aspect didn't really become a major part of Peter until the film and/or Bendis).

At the end of the day I really don't care just so long as Marvel doesn't decide to make this into his defining feature like they tend to do with outed characters (looking at you Iceman). Sexuality is only part of a character, not their entire identity. I don't have a problem with a Star-Lord who happens to be bisexual so long as he continues to act like the Star-Lord/Peter Quill that's always been presented before.

Okay, this I will concede to. Especially given we've seen a few races out there with unusual genders outside the norm.

not they didn't, marvel didn't say anything, ewing wasn't even explicit about it, it's only news because third parties ran articles about it

OR ewing likes having lgbt representation in his books (which is backed by evidence) and this is an imaginary, circumstantial narrative you've concocted

this only works if Cebulski, Ewing and his editor were living in an alternate universe that was unaware of Pratt being in a church that advocates conversion therapy
