I haven't met a kid yet that doesn't want to be a superhero. My own daughters love to pretend they are Jedi (I have trained them well) or princesses with magic powers.
Superheroes are meant for kids. Yes, there are large numbers of nostalgic adults – my own particular penchant for Star Wars included – that love the adventure and lore of fantastical worlds, but the target market is and always has been children.
You might one of a few adults who will buy that $300 Captain America shield replica, but there are 50 million kids who will beg their parents for the $20 plastic version.
The rise of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has further brought nerdom into mainstream culture, making it cooler and thus more desirable for children to emulate their favorite heroes in real life. If Superman punching Hitler in the 1940s seemed cool to a 10-year-old, today's menagerie of on-screen and in-comic superheroes is more appealing to kids than ever before.
Now that I've cemented this point in your head, let me present you with this headline:
Yes, Star-Lord Peter Quill – played by actor Chris Pratt – is now cool with whatever sexual fantasy floats your boat.
In the most recent comic issue, the superhero finds himself teleported to a mysterious dimension named Morinus after everyone thought he had been killed fighting the Greek god Zeus and the Olympians (because why not?). Morinus is seemingly a place of "rebirth," where Star-Lord spends 150 years with an alien man and an alien woman while only a few short months pass in our world.
(Wasn't there already a movie where Chris Pratt spent a lifetime adrift in space with Jennifer Lawrence?)
Twelve years into this rebirth experience, Star-Lord accepts his fate and declares his love for his two companions, saying, "Time to accept the truth... Morinus is my home. You're my home."
As he embraces his two lovers, the male alien tells him his old identity is gone and his new life is ready to begin, which totally isn't symbolic in any way.
"Congratulations, Peter Quill. The you-that-was is over. You're newborn, and ready to learn our ways."
Before we continue, let's take a moment to consider my original point:
"Superheroes are meant for kids."
The next question: If superheroes are meant for our kids, what message is being told to our kids through this comic?
And finally, if this is easily published about one particular superhero, what other messages have and will be sent to our children through hundreds of other superhero stories about polyamory, polygamy, pornography, bestiality, or any other sexual flavor of the week?
I guess I won't be surprised when people readily celebrate Superman becoming a pedophile 10 years from now. #PrOgReSs
To my knowledge, the story arc of this newest comic issue is a way of bringing Star-Lord's original origin story into the new Marvel Universe. His experience in "Morinus" is supposed to an expansion and rebirth of the character that blends the origin story of the current cinematic universe with his original 1975 debut.
Why that had to include polyamorous bisexuality is beyond me, but hey, I'm just an old fashioned weirdo who likes good characters and doesn't need to know the sexual behavior of my favorite cartoon sponge.
There are plenty of Woke fans who are super pumped about this news, of course. "Star-Lord" was trending on Twitter after the news broke, with most tweets mocking Chris Pratt for his Christian faith and his attendance at LA's Hillsong Church.
For reference to Pratt's beliefs, here's a screenshot of an Instagram post he made when people started cursing him for believing even the most basic, vanilla Christian teachings:
"Love one another?"
What a radical lunatic.
"Make our children's cultural icons sexually promiscuous with all sorts of fetishes in a slide toward abject debauchery?"
Heroic.
What a time to be alive.
Marvel is run by pedophiles. They are trying to soften the kids up to be recruited. That is the motivation fro trying to normalize sexual perversion. TV commercials are full of it now. Every show has to have a gay subplot.
God’s fire is coming.
lol!
Well, I guess not that hard to imagine as they do it all the time now.

The famous freckle-faced comic book icon is meeting his demise in Wednesday’s installment of Life with Archie when he intervenes in an assassination attempt on Kevin Keller, Archie Comics’ first openly gay character. Andrews’ death, which was first announced in April, will mark the conclusion of the series that focuses on grown-up renditions of Andrews and his Riverdale pals.
“The way in which Archie dies is everything that you would expect of Archie,” said Jon Goldwater, Archie Comics publisher and co-CEO. “He dies heroically. He dies selflessly. He dies in the manner that epitomizes not only the best of Riverdale but the best of all of us. It’s what Archie has come to represent over the past almost 75 years.”
Keller’s character first joined Veronica Lodge, Betty Cooper, Jughead Jones and Reggie Mantle in the Archie Comics spin-off Veronica in 2010. He later appeared in his own solo title.
In Life with Archie, Kevin Keller is a married military veteran and newly elected senator who’s pushing for more gun control in Riverdale after his husband was involved in a shooting.

Here is a working link to the Archie comics People Magazine piece I just posted...

I guess the character’s name Star Lord PETER QUILL is a give away about what is to come. Oh, did I write that? No intentionally, but its very close to the truth.
What a shame that a bunch of leftist bent-gender fanatics (not the decent people who don’t force their own sexual preferences on others)have taken over a lot of the comic books and characters (then on to the movies and TV shows).
Comics were for fun and imaginary adventures by hero substitutes for ourselves. Now they are too often perversions of decency.
In my day (I had almost all of the Tarzan comics from the 50’s), Tarzan was a man who loved a woman, not an ape. Today, Tarzan loves an ape and hires the woman as a maid to clean up his tree-house.
Sheeez!
That name will soon no doubt be changed to "Gay Lord PETER QUILL". :)
Lol!
But this is what it means to be "Progressive". To embrace a progressive decline of traditional American morality and culture.
Ha. More like Gaylord.
This should not bring in any viewers. The movie series dies when this gets out. The first film was interesting with great special effects and the second film was mass murder with the characters reveling in it. The third one will be I bet allude to this storyline and be trash.
This is how they push out Chris Pratt.
It’s my understanding that the charming Mr. Pratt is a religious guy. Would he consent to act in a sequel featuring gay and bi scenes? UGH!
and Freepers were laughing on why I prefer reading MANGA over DC/MARVEL..
They even have rightwing GUN mangas that are not woke:
1) Rifle is Beautiful
-HS girls on life and their daily activities in a gun club
2) No Guns Life
-half human droid with a GUN AS HIS HEAD solves cases in future Tokyo
3) Upotte!
-GIRLS who turn into FIREARMS (yup, you read that right) from AR15’s to AK47.
Correct, he plays the part, now he must decide whether to continue to do so.
This is not surprising. Disney owns Marvel and Disney is run by the homosexual activists.
They don’t like Christians in general and especially Chris Pratt in particular, so this is how they will ‘cancel’ him....................
Current Communist Goals
EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Thursday, January 10, 1963
Goal #26:
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, and healthy.”

If I were him, I’d tell the directors to do that scene in CGI, since 90 percent of the film is CGI anyways.................
Frank Miller and Alan Moore come to mind... both of whom covered characters like Batman....
Do super hero’s ever get skid marks?
