![]() ![]() However, he doesn’t necessarily seem to enjoy it-later in the movie he refers to the prostate as the on button, so perhaps the previous scene was just his first attempt with anal sex? Whatever the case, the movie leaves things unclear. Deadpool also is on the receiving end when he engages in anal sex with Vanessa in the movie (to celebrate International Women’s Day! Yay!) and while hetero couples can and do like anal sex, it at least shows that Deadpool is open to it. However, while there was nothing overt, the movie did seem to code Deadpool as queer.ĭeadpool often makes sexual comments about the men in the movie (and even some not in the movie, like Hugh Jackman). ![]() I was extremely worried that no attempt at showing Deadpool’s pansexuality would be seen at all. But I hoped against hope that we would still see Deadpool making interested comments about men and women and maybe even a reference to a past male relationship. The Deadpool movie wasn’t going to give me Deadpool in a homosexual relationship, because Vanessa, aka Copycat, was going to be featured in the movie as his girlfriend. All it really takes is referencing a past love interest or showing the character flirting with people of various genders. I’m sorry, but I’m not buying this theory, especially not after watching shows like Shadowhunters, which had no issue establishing Magnus Bane as bisexual right away. This is especially hard to fulfill in comic book movies, where our usually male hero almost always starts off with a female love interest that fans expect to be in the movie. I have heard some people claim that it is especially difficult for bi/pansexual people to be represented in movies and TV shows because they have to be shown with more than one partner in order to truly represent that. ![]() I was extremely dubious that any hint of Deadpool being queer would make it into the movie, but to my pleasant surprise, his sexuality was at least hinted at-though I wouldn’t exactly call this movie a win for queer comic book fans. Probably the biggest thing I have been stressing in my past reviews of Deadpool is the character’s pansexuality and whether or not the movie would portray him accurately. ![]()
