    I got deja vu for some reason.

    So it looks like Wiccan is coming to the Avengers Academy game as part of the upcoming Doctor Strange event. No telling if he'll be free or premium, but still.
    SQUEAL!!!! I play that game, so very, VERY happy to hear this. Just unlocked Satana today, and she's quasi-LGBT+. And we have Union Jack.

    And yes, I'm also very excited about getting Wiccan in Avengers Academy.

    Yeah, pretty damn good terms. America's issues with Carol's methods weren't with Carol so much as the person that might come after her. (Which was implied to be Doctor Doom?)

    She also gave Carol her own nickname, like she did Kate, but she TRIED to say she didn't.

    I'm sure they'll re-release him at some point.

    Doing a Patsy Walker reread after a recent article (not before? no; shooting from the hip), and sad thinking that maybe the reason it's listed as teen and up when it's all ages all the time, is because it's acknowledging that gay men, bisexuals, and healthy doses of pg-rated homoerotic ambience exist in the world.
    Patsy Walker on TV! Patsy Walker in new comics! Patsy Walker in your brain! And Jessica Jones is the new Nancy! (Oh, and read the Comics Cube.)

    That would certainly explain it and would indeed be a sad reason. I like it a lot, but it's a lot tamer than the material I was reading as a teen.

    Agreed, which is why we appear in so, so, SO FEW animated films. ParaNorman, How to Train Your Dragon 2 (barely) and Finding Dory (possibly). The only three major Western animated films I'm aware to DARE to include LGBT+ characters. And ParaNorman is the only one to do it properly. Which is EXACTLY why we've not had a Young Avengers cartoon akin to Teen Titan. They won't include Billy/Teddy, and they know they'll get crucified for it.

    Do any of you guys watch Steven Universe? It's pretty fantastic in that regard, it helps that it's created by a bisexual woman. It's such a fantastic show with great music and it covers a surprising amount of very complex themes.

    I loved ParaNorman and that fact that they added a confirmed gay character made it so much better.

    Steven Universe is my second favourite show on television right now. It's one of the very few shows that can make me emotional and it's really hard to get me emotional because I'm a cold-hearted bastard, lol.

    I would say its my favorite cartoon of all times. The stories are fantastic, the characters are great (Stevonnie is my favorite) but oh man, the themes it explores! I would have loved to have a show like this and songs like "It's Over Isn't It" when I was a confused bisexual kid.

    I totally love it. The characters are interesting, amazing and fun and the songs are my favorite part of the show And it really explores curious themes and storylines.

    Ya'll have fantastic taste, I'm glad to see so many SU fans here

    And yeah, the show never fails to make me smile and yes I've cried on multiple occasions as well. It really delivers on all fronts! Whenever I'm feeling depressed I listen to "Here Comes A Thought" or "Stronger Than You." "It's over isn't it" completely wrecks me, it's so so so good. I also love all of the fusions! Stevonnie and Opal are probably my favourites!

    Ohh yeah, those songs are so good. "Here's Comes A Thought" is meant to help you deal with stress and "Stronger Than You" is an empowering song about Garnet being the literal embodiment same-sex love. Steven Universe probably is the best show on tv for LGBT viewers. The only caveat with the show that I have is that I wish they would include a male couple sometime, the "queer" content is always about female characters.
