Alli and Nat talk Tessa Thompson, post-colonial theory, and Hulk's sex life in our second episode in a row concerning a Disney property (as far as we know, they may own all the movies we've discussed by the time you're reading this). Valkyrie is canonically bi in the comics and Thompson has confirmed she views her character as bisexual, but how does her sexuality come up in the film? How are other characters' sexuality and gender expression coded? And how is it possible that Nat and Alli went this entire episode without bringing up the legendary Taika Watiti-Rita Ora-Tessa Thompson threesome?
UPDATE: Nat here. I brought up the classic OverthinkingIt article
"Why Female Characters Are Bad for Women" and during the conversation I unintentionally deadnamed the author, Seth Mlawski. This was purely an oversight, but I still want to apologize for it. Follow us on Twitter
