As an aromantic asexual person, few things have ever infuriated me like Avengers: Endgame. Specifically, one small plot point near the end…
In my head, if not in canon, Grace is aromantic and asexual. But really, his identity doesn't matter. Grace himself doesn’t have to be aroace for Project Hail Mary to be an aroace story. This is a story about how connection saves us. It’s a friendship story; a story that rejects the idea that platonic love is lesser, or not enough for a fulfilling existence.
Or: this film healed something in my aroace soul and I couldn't rest until I'd talked about why it means so much to me.
