Marvel studios backtracks on the LGBT propaganda, at least partially

In an update on this earlier item, it's now reported by Variety that Marvel studios is not planning transgender characters so soon:
Despite recent reports, Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige did not intend to confirm that a transgender character will appear in an upcoming film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, two sources tell Variety. [...]

While Feige’s answer appeared to respond to the specific question about a trans character, two sources close to the studio tell Variety that Feige only intended to respond to the first part about LGBT+ characters, and he did not mean to imply that a trans character will be coming to the MCU “very soon.” [...]

An openly gay superhero would be a major milestone for Hollywood, which has to date avoided putting any LGBT character front and center in a major comic book movie. Recently, “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” won both praise and recrimination for featuring the first same-sex kiss in a “Star Wars” movie, but between two minor characters in a throwaway moment. Feige — who recently ascended to become chief creative officer for all of Marvel Entertainment — has indicated that the gay character in “Eternals” will play a much more meaningful role in the film. And actor Zach Barack, who had a small role in Marvel Studios’ “Spider-Man: Far From Home,” was the company’s first openly trans actor.

But for now, it appears significant trans representation in the MCU will have to wait — again.
They must've realized Feige risked alienating audiences with his approach, so they withdrew at least partially from an approach I'm sure they know doesn't appeal to the masses and family filmgoers. Most specifically, depicting transsexual ideology as though it was a positive one, entirely unquestioned.

Sadly, the trade journal won't come to terms with that, seeing how they believe it's such a big deal, rather than concern themselves with how good or bad the finished product is. As for the Rise of Skywalker, it's funny how such a movie can go to lengths to include a lesbian kiss scene, but avoid genuine romance between a leading man and woman, seeing there's a scene where one of the leading ladies tells the leading man she'd rather he not hold her hand as they flee from some villains blasting at them. In any event, the lesbian scene was censored in Singapore and Dubai, and the filmmakers and their apologists don't seem concerned about it.

As for the Marvel movie/TV franchise, whether or not they do intend to heap more homosexual propaganda into their products, they still seem intent on greenlighting an adaptation of the Muslim Ms. Marvel, and that's just as concerning, based on its Islamic propaganda.
