The 20 th Century Fox X-Men movies have been wrapped up, with a reboot looking more and more likely in the future. Deadpool is so dirty that Disney and Ryan Reynolds are at an impasse with how to proceed. The movies that provide a contrast to Marvel are the Deadpool movies and X-Men movies. The MCU movies barely even have any kissing.

Although the first Iron Man movie includes a scene of Tony about to sleep with Christine Everheart, his womanizing ways are not a major part of the subsequent movies (instead getting into a serious relationship with Pepper Potts). Marvel movies have had some references to sex sprinkled throughout them, and fanfic writers will argue about which scenes are filled with sexual tension. However, summer blockbuster movies are reluctant to catch up. In the Young Avengers comics, America Chavez came out as queer, while Wiccan and Hulking got married. Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy are together. Robin finally came out, much to the non-surprise of comic book fans. Superman’s son Jon Kent was the latest to cause outrage among superhero comic book fans for coming out as queer. Famous comics characters have also come out as queer in the past several years, further pushing against the strict social codes set by the CCA in the mid-20th century.
