Reminder Birds of Prey will be the first superhero movei starring an openly lgbt hero
While herors like Wonder woman, Valkyrie & anti heroes like Harley are in the superhero movies none of them have been shown in relationshops or shown talking about their sexuality
BIRDS OF PREY IS SUPPOSED TO SHOW A W|W RELATIONSHIP WITH RENEE MONTOYA
So remember to go hype up birds of prey so that both marvel & DC see that showing lgbt heroes being themselves on screen will bring them more money & more positive press
As long as its true that Renee Montoya is openly and proudly lesbian in this movie and we actually see her being a lesbian on screen I will DEFINITELY be supporting this film :D
Shes supposed to be at least thats what people whove seen early screenings of it seem to say fingers crossed that it stays that way. From what Ive heard mostly rumors is that Renee’s girlfriend is played by Ali Wong & i remember there being abig announcment about her being in the film so im betting shes gonna be in at least 2 or 3 scenes

This comic should be re-titled “Awkward Teenage Years,” because when it all comes down to it, the book’s extraordinarily weird mishmash of Mystery, Inc., Fight Club, and 90s-era feminism (a) doesn’t really make a lick of sense when pulled together and (b) is far less interesting or engaging than the actual character dynamics happening in the background. HEAVY VINYL floats together all that is funny, strange, and inconvenient about being a teenager, and does so with immense charm. If only that’s all that this book was about…
Chris is awkward. At sixteen, she’s a gamine kind of girl, sporting sweatshirts, jeans, and a backwards cap. She’s also queer, works at a vinyl shop run only by women, and is having a lot of trouble figuring out if that last note on her acoustic guitar is an A, an A minor, or a D (“This is a D for sure.”). Chris is super-intensely eager to blend in with her co-workers (mostly other teens) because, as the girl says, “I feel … stuck,” and at sixteen-years-old, shouldn’t she have her “thing” figured out by now?
As readers learn in HEAVY VINYL, the illusion of getting one’s future mapped out by the time one gets their driver’s license is altogether very tempting, highly desirable, and frequently sought after. Not helping matters in Chris’s case is the fact that the vinyl shop where she works also happens to be an underground all-girls’ fighting club/detective agency. Shop owner Irene is the designated “cool adult” who recruits fellow women into the club. Whether it’s beating up local trolls or tracking regional shoplifters, the crew puts their brains and their fists on the line and usually get the job done. A string of missing-persons reports filed for popular rock bands has caught their attention as of late. This is lot to take in for a girl just one month into her new job. Can Chris keep up?

This New Jersey kid sure has her hands full. The girl she’s crushing on, Maggie is a livewire, and loves the thrill of a good fight. And then there’s a compatibility issue with the other girls in the crew: Kennedy’s musical knowledge is astounding, Dolores is sharp and has attitude to burn, and the store owner, Irene, has an intuition that sniffs out trouble one instant and charges into it headfirst the next.
HEAVY VINYL functions best as it navigates Chris’s inner mind and winds its way through all of the very obvious (and very awkward) ways she deals with growing up, fitting in, and finding herself. The book’s narrative voice is perfect. She gets nervous a lot. Thinks the worst of things a lot. And really doesn’t like it when her “great idea” is really just a “regular idea” for everybody else.
As the story shifts into high gear, the share of the book devoted to Chris familiarizing herself with the store, it’s patrons, and the future this all holds for her diminishes relative to the detective agency angle. This is a fun but far less engaging turn of events (as is the rather irrational sci-fi twist in the final chapter). Training in an underground gym to fight the patriarchy is cool. Tracking down a missing vocalist and songwriter in NYC is cool, too. But this is a hi-def wide-angle lens for a story that only requires the simplest viewfinder.
HAUGHT-DAMN!!! Kat sure knows how to work that “Nicole - smauldering gay - Haught” look! Can’t wait to see them all get back into Character on our screens
《 Right now I need to be on my A-game to get into the CalArt Summer Program, aka my dream school. “Through your medium of choice, show us your happiest moment”. Are you fucking kidding me? What a vague bullshit prompt.》
《I’ve been struggling with this stupid prompt, trying to figure out what my happiest moment feels like. And I’ve realized that it’s not just one moment. It’s every moment that I’ve had with you. Falling for you has been the happiest moment of my life. And making this has been the easiest thing I’ve made all semester.》
