Ok sandman rant
Season one, the Corinthian, who was a gay man in the comics, is made pansexual (I think) in the show, but it’s ok. I’m pan, love pan rep, and he’s still attracted to men, then didn’t just say he was pansexual and then write him straight yk? Cool
Joanna Constantine, a gender swapped version of John Constantine, one of my favorite characters of all time, played by one of my favorite actresses ever. Still a very tragic, queer character in season one. Awesome
Season two shoves them in this stupid fucking straight relationship that makes no fucking sense. I get that the Corinthian died and was recreated differently but they pretty much completely removed his attraction to men and had him turn into a total Joanna simp. Which would have been cute if it wasn’t total nonsense.(being a Joanna simp that is)
Where are my sluts? These are not the hoes I’ve grown to know and love!
Robin Goodfellow flirts with the Corinthian, makes several references to having sex with the previous Corinthian and this Corinthian…has no response to Robin and instead uses his words to flirt with Joanna.
And Joanna just magically likes him??? They don’t even have much screen time together and they’re suddenly yearning hard as fuck for each other???? After she has a severe dislike of the Corinthian???
On top of that, putting what was previously a gay male character in a relationship with a gender swapped version of a queer male character is so weird.
Like is that what you gender swapped her for? To shove her with the Corinthian??? Is that why he’s “pan” now, so they could have him magically fall in love with a woman after Dream killed him and remade him “better”??
I know that’s likely not what happened, but it still feels so weird.
Like if they had him end up with a different character that was already a woman and not gender swapped, I feel like I wouldn’t be this weirded out by it. But no, they took a queer male character, turned him into a woman, and put her into a stupid straight relationship that makes no sense.
I hated the ending for them it was so dumb
