They should’ve left all of that in the movie. I always say that certain movies should be released with a director’s cut extended version. After reading the scenes that got cut, The Marvels one of those movies I’d like to see be released with a director’s cut extended version.

Disney Marvel’s so afraid to have a blatant lesbian couple, every instance is either only implications or a blink and you’ll miss it single cheek kiss

They cut it out!? Who told them!? That homophobe Bob Iger and his buddy Chapek?
Honestly, there’s no problem in them having a past romantic relationship.
I really wish homophobia doesn’t exist anymore. It’s making people more discriminated and more inhuman against one another.

sometimes I think I give Disney too much of a hard time for fumbling the “first openly gay character” moments but then they go and do something like this https://t.co/0duGwjiAwB
