Ep. 42 - The MCU or. "That's My Secret Cap, I'm Always Angry At the Lack of Queer Representation"

Box Not Included

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been with us for almost 10 years, sprawling almost 20 movies (with plans for many more), countless tv episodes and shorts. This ground-breaking shared cinematic universe can take us to the most dizzying cosmic space opera, to the most intimate crime drama, to characters bigger than planets to those the size of an ant. So, as we are destined to ask on Box Not Included, where are all the queers? In today's episode Jade and Hamish explore the MCU, a franchise which we both have a huge amount of enthusiasm for, but wonder if and when we'll see ourselves on the super-screen. We discuss why the MCU has succeed while other cinematic universes haven't, what our favourite corners of this world are and what our hopes for the future may be (they're gay).
