Queer Marvel Head Canons

Queer Marvel Head canons

In celebration of Pride Month these are all the marvel characters I head canon as queer! 

Steve Rogers: Gay

Thor: Bi (this mans sexuality is scientist) 

Bruce Banner: Gay trans man

Natasha Romanoff: bi-demiromantic asexual 

Clint Barton: aroace trans man (marvel missed an amazing pun by not making him aroace) 

Peter Parker: Panromantic asexual trans man

Carol Danvers: Lesbian

MJ: Bi

Loki: Pan genderfluid (the Russos robbed us!) 

Bucky Barnes: Gay

Shuri: Lesbian

Valkyrie: bi

Peggy Carter: Bi

Matt Murdock: Bi

Foggy Nelson: Bi nonbinary (seriously what cis person names themself Foggy)

Karen Page: bi transwoman 

These are just a few. Honestly I have decided that every marvel character (with the exception of like 2) are queer because I can. These are just my personal head canons if you don’t agree thats fine. 

Manipulation of Ableism in Marvel’s Daredevil

Ok so imo Daredevil as a show’s best moments are when Matt is manipulating other peoples ableist attitudes/assumptions about him to get shit done. I think one of my favorite examples of this is when *Spoilers for season 2* he and Electra are at the gala to get information on the Hand. Matt purposefully spills wine on the accountant(?) dude to get him in the bathroom and away from everyone else. He knows that he won’t get in trouble for it because he’s just a blameless blind dude right /s. Later in that same episode when he and Elektra need to make an escape and they are able to do that because no one sees him as a threat because of his disability. He can’t possibly be the one to trip the alarm /s. I love all of this because that operation was only successful because of that. An abled person would have had a much harder time with it. 

Another things I love about scene when they are escaping is that when the guard rips off Matt’s glasses and shines a light in his eyes (which is hella rude) the look on Matt’s face is amazing. You can just tell he’s thinking well I know we need to do this to go free but but now I am going to be reduced to my disability. This man is going to judge me solely off of that and noting else and I hate that. And honestly? Mood. There have been times when someone finds out I’m autistic and immediately start to talk to me as if I’m 5 years old instead of almost 20. I had an english teacher in high school insinuate that I shouldn’t be in her advanced class because I’m dyslexic. It’s so frustrating! I think Charlie Cox shows that really really well in that scene. 

There are a bunch of other examples of this especially in season 3 and its just so great. Its a mechanism for survival in a world not built for disabled people but at the same time you can see how much peoples attitudes and assumptions effect Matt. You can see just how angry and annoyed he is and its such a quintessentially disabled experience. IDK I just have a lot of feelings about it.

Peter gets more than he bargained for when he goes out to network with New York’s other vigilantes. Matt is terrified for the child he’s knows for nine years who has apparently taken up vigilantism. 

ngl at this point my hopes for this show are very low (I know Charlie and Jon will act the fuck out of it and do the best they can tho) 

Just to clarify it seems Elden and Deborah are still “unconfirmed” for DD:BA I assume they aren’t coming back but everything I’ve read is not giving any clear information, even the article that says they aren’t coming back isn’t saying anything 100%

“However, other actors from the Netflix Daredevil series are not expected to return. Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson, who played classic supporting characters Karen Page and Foggy Nelson, respectively, are not on the roll call for the Marvel series. It is also unclear whether those characters will be recast or excised from the story.”

It says they are not expected to return, marvel is sneaky as fuck and I don’t want to believe anything at this point

If they don’t come back I’m fucking rioting

actually the thing abt matt murdock is there's stories disney could maybe (maybe) tell with some competence, like there's stories that can almost survive that degree of mass-appeal pro-establishment toothless passionless bullshit, but. daredevil? matthew michael daredevil murdock? if you disneyify matt he isn't matt anymore. daredevil is about the kind of bone-deep inextinguishable rage that ableism sparks and kindles in you. the way someone gets violent when violence is done to them ad nauseam. all superhero stories shld be about stepping up because you can't stand not to, but daredevil is that dialled up as far as it'll go

like. matt's whole deal is he is much more viscerally aware of the terrible shit most of us ignore, and his worldview means ignoring it is allowing it, and he is so incredibly traumatised. if a daredevil story doesn't piss anyone off it's a bad daredevil story. daredevil shld look u dead in the eye & say 'what are you allowing? what could you change?' because yeah matt is an insane person going above and beyond but he's trying to singlehandedly fix a community cuz if he doesn't who will. daredevil shld say solidarity with its whole chest.
