Honestly my only problem is with KING SHARK is why couldn't they find a talented gay or bisexual polynesian actor to fill that roll. He's native to Hawaii after all and I would have loved to see him speak in the numerous languages such as. Tahitian, Samoan, Tongan, Māori and obviously Hawaiian. And yes he wouldn't speak English at all at least not from the start, but there would be captions to help people understand what he's saying. My vision for KING SHARK would be that he understands what people are saying but they don't understand anything he says, yet they can understand his emotions at times based on his body language and tone of his voice. And KING SHARK only learns how to speak English do to him listening to those around him but his English wouldn't be fluent for he is still learning this new language. But that's just what I would do if I was a writer for DC Comics.

2:52 so I’m not too far I don’t think into the HBO show but there was a whole episode about him and marriage • • • • • So king shark ran away from home and didn’t go to the ocean for a long time cuz he didn’t want to get married to the princess of a different clan and he initially turned down the betrothal and the princess didn’t want him either but in the end they get married solely for political reasons and they both agreed to live their own lives separately after just on the DL. If you’re taking a queer reading to it you can def see it as a lavender marriage or just your typical arranged marriage but a lot of media will turn arranged marriages into “and then they fell in love” but the show kept him with the “I don’t want to be with her at all, we’re only doing this to prevent war”

Dc villain that I’d love to see fleshed out: Demonia from the Omega Men. Dc character who ought to be analyzed through a queer lense: Gar Logan. He gives off both nonbinary and bisexual vibes, especially in Teen Titans Go. I would love to see a queer analysis of Gar’s relationship to gender in the TTG episode “Chicken’s in the Cradle”. EDIT: A few more references for a queer reading of Gar Logan: * The New Teen Titans: Tales of the Teen Titans #55, where Gar dresses up as and pretends to be Starfire when no one is watching. * The New Titans #98 pg19, where Dick Grayson says that Gar cares more about Cyborg than about girls. The New Titans #103 p10-11, where Gar ignores his designated love interest Terra II to focus on Cyborg. Tbh, the whole Terminus arc has BBCY vibes. * The fact that Gar did not choose the title Beast Boy but did choose the title Changeling.

Just a reminder: the argument that it's wrong to queer up a character just because there's no pre-existing indication of their queerness is fundamentally a bad faith argument foisted upon the community by bigots. Long running fictional characters written illustrated and otherwise portrayed by a number of people over a period of time inherently demand adaptation, don't let bigots drag you down the wrong path trying to justify queer character's existence (and by implication your existence) by some misguided appeal to precedent.

Not always, I, as someone who writes and enjoys including diverse race and sexuality choices to my cast also hate character inconsistency. The issue is that they will take character in a pre-established and ongoing series, and complete change them or retcon previous actions of the character in said storyline and universe, just because. Iceman. Fucking Iceman. Go the midnighter route, and make a character sexuality become something to harp on if they don't have pre-established sexualities that are written out in logic defying ways. Or just make them closeted in a way that makes sense. I'll never understand how character randomly come out as 100% gay and have done it with dozens of women with no issues or questions, you've gotta be bi or have the strongest imagination at that point.

I think it would be really fun if DC gave us a look into whatever King Shark and Constantine had going on. Whichever form that takes. Whether in the comics or the Harley Quinn show. It'd just be great to see that whole situation unfold. (Also, two of my favorite relatively unknown DC characters are Lonnie Machin / Anarky and Jark Ryder / The Creeper - an anti-villain and a hero respectively. But I do still believe they count, because seldom have I seen them be explored to their full potential since their initial appearances, and both have been screwed over since then. What with Lonnie being slandered as a murderer in most every DC character guide he appeared in and Jack being rebranded as a demon once and teaming up with villains since. Which really sucks, because I would love to see them utilized effectively, even if not necessarily in a queer reading kinda way. More in a leftist angle with Anarky and a positive view of mental health issues in Ryder's case. Both views would take me a couple essays to explain, but trust me when I say it would be so amazing!)

Element Lad! There's something going on with him, and DC doesn't want to address it. Even in early issues in the 60's there are panels were the female Legionnaires mention he's cute and wonder why he doesn't have a girlfriend. There's the whole relationship with Shvaughn Erin. And, let's not forget he spent most of the 70's wearing a costume with a phallic symbol on it. It seems obvious he was going to be in the latest Supergirl animated movie, but was replaced with Arms-Fall-Off Boy. The character design clearly looks more like Element Lad than any representation of the fore mentioned Legion reject. Investigate please.

I’ve even had ppl try to argue Zatanna isn’t white cause of her bombshell AU where she’s roma/Jewish. Which esp pisses me off cause I am Jewish & it’s trying to VO-opt our identity to silence idea of John being with a man.

Clock King (William Tockman version) needs more fleshing out. The most characterazation we've gotten is from the Harley Quinn show. With his relationship with the Riddler. He has a very dark backstory that never gets explored. He is taking care of his sick sister then gets misdiagnosed so thinking he is going to die he becomes a criminal to get enough money to make sure his sister doesn't end up in a home because he promised his (assumed dead) parents that. He then gets caught by Green Arrow and finds out that the doctors were wrong but he ends up dying in a home. We don't know why he is in Gotham, fighting Batman or why he still commits crimes.

I don't agree with your take about race/genderbending, but I fully agree on respecting when OC are successful. Sometimes, the demographic of a character sometimes is important and the twist is made more for shock-baiting, rather than inclusion or are straight out done in a dumb way. Ariel being chief example: the '800s Europe was still extremely racist and making a POC princess in said setting just doesn't work HOWEVER, if they were to pull a Tiana on us, changing the general setting (let's say Jamaica in the 1960s) it would genuinely being interesting. OCs... OCs are fully in the hand of the creators and that's it. Take HelluvaBoss and those saying that Blitz(o) corrupted Stolas, when the show makes very obvious that this is not the case. More representation is a MUST! We live in 2023 and having, what, 90% of media characters being cis heterosexual caucasics is moronic AT BEST, but raceswapping or genderswapping is not the way as it will only fuel controversy. King Shark is actually great in this regard: they took a barely ever used character and elaborated the sides of him that were never explored, and nobody should tell you that he is CIS simply because... it was never said nor implied. After he became prominent we've seen him being attracted by men (Constantine), women (Killer Frost) and we even have various jokes about fishes, before that? ZERO! King Shark is part of the LGBTQ+ community and there can be no counter argument. Comic books are full of underused characters belonging to demographics considered "minorities": -Northstar -Photon -Wiccan -Hulkling -Mystique -Destiny -Batwoman -Karolina -Scandal Savage -Alan Scott -Renee Montoya -Chromedome -Rewind -Cyclonus -Tailgate -Arcee -Greenlight -Aileron -Anode -Lug Maybe it's time to give them some time to shine and let the ususal 10 notorious characters that get cycled over and over rest for a bit.

Man I get the reflex to constantly be on the defensive with anything these comicsgate cretins will complain about, but its kind of annoying to watch as someone who doesnt want to engage with their shit. As you said in this very video, "we should stop giving these assholes the time of day"

Everytime I hear something about Gail Simone, I just love her more and more! I've loved what I've read of hers, but I feel like I might need to just go snag up all of her work. Fantastic work here! One of my fave monster boyfriends

I may be cheating on my assignment, but I have a team that I want to see more fleshed out and given more respect - Shadowpact. When I first read a friend's copy of an omnibus of Infinite Crisis and all its tie-ins, I didn't expect to fall in love with this ragtag team of magic-based heroes, but not only did I fall HARD for them, but to this day, they are my go to answer for favorite superhero team. To me, it's essentially a crime that they (as a team) have not been seen, referenced or used at all since the series cancellation in 2008.

I never thought of King Shark being queer but I'm myself an ace but kinda lean into queer because of gender fluidity lol. But with your analysis makes sense. I love the Harley Quinn version of King Shark, but then again I love Ron Funches voice work.
