Although many Marvel fans were ecstatic when the trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder finally arrived, others were less than thrilled. In fact, it seems that quite a few Twitter users have been calling out actor Chris Pratt for being homophobic after the trailer launched. It seems that one joke in the trailer has been the reason for the name-calling.
As those who’ve seen the footage know, there’s a moment where Chris Pratt’s character Star-Lord is speaking with Chris Hemsworth’s Thor. He gives the following word of advice:
“You ever feel lost? Just look into the eyes of the people that you love.”
While Thor takes this advice and looks directly into Star-Lord’s eyes, Star-Lord has the opposite reaction.
“Not me,” Star-Lord says.
Thor replies with the following:
“What? Just listening.”
Now Twitters users are blaming Chris Pratt for the line, insisting that the actor is homophobic as a result of his delivery. One tweet in particular has gotten well-over 100,000 likes as of this writing. In fact, many of these tweets have gained tens of thousands of likes, suggesting that many of these Twitter users feel the same way. As you can see below:
Crazy people on parade.
My friends and I are like that.
“Love you, man! No gay.”
But then, we’re not exactly PC.
Wait, so they’re upset with a role he played in a movie? Where does that craziness stop?
Lets leave aside the whole an actor delivering a line nonsense....
Not approving of someones life choice is not a PHOBIA....
Idiots.
The Woke fools have no sense of humor. I think it’s funny.
An unserious world will reap a serious outcome.
ACTORS DON’T WRITE THEIR OWN LINES, MOST OF THE TIME...............
“An unserious world will reap a serious outcome.”
That’s so true.
10 people makes 100,000 bots!
But the twitters don’t even realize that:-)
I won’t be bothered with seeing this movie even if I can see it for free. I have better things to do.
Disney and Marvel = marriage made in hell.
A franchise that could have essentially made money forever being utterly decimated by the Leftist wokeism.
IT’S DISNEY......................
Yeah but he had the audacity to deliver the lines as written.....that makes him complicit.
/sarc
Same here. When Rudy was on the island we were all cheering him on because we worked with him and saw him pretty much daily:
“Love you man, but not in a gay way that’s for sure!”
Star-Lord isn’t into guys, so that makes him “homophobic”?
It never stops.
Clown world. 🤡 🌎
Some people just need to be offended every day......................
Marvel was fine by itself back in the day.
Just another Faustian bargain...
