Happy Pride Month my fellow Ultron enjoyers! π³οΈβππ³οΈββ§οΈ
In honor of this month I wanted to talk about 2 of the people apart of the production aspect for both IMAHAF and Spidey and His Amazing Friends!
Did you know? The writer/story editor for Ironman and His Awesome Friends is apart of the LGBTQ+ community!
It's also important to acknowledge this drawing one of the animator made that he posted about. (Apparently there's talk of putting this on the crew shirts for IMAHAF according to the comments) Safe to say, pretty sure were all on the same page about Ultron in this series.
James isn't the only person apart of the community working on the show! The VA for Green Goblin (JP Karliak) in the Spidey Series identifies with He/They pronouns! Those who are X-Men 97 fans will also recognize them as Morph!
Within IMAHAF there is Lesbian representation in the background of the Valentines episode (as for Spidey I'm not sure because I mostly watch IMAHAF because I'm an Ultron fan. However, I have watched any Spidey episode with The Thing and H.E.R.B.I.E.)
I wanted to bring my headcanon up again for Bolts and how I see them as Nonbinary as well! I mean...they just don't really strike me as "the girl robot" nor "the boy robot." I can vouch and say when watching all Ultron episodes for the first time I wasn't exactly sure how I was supposed to interpret it so I ended up referring to Bolts as "Them" for a majority of the time until it just became canon in my head. (it's probably also me, as a nonbinary person, projecting as well).
No matter what some people may say, it's important to have these voices in kids media. Not everyone lives the same lives and it's important to hear from those with power over the media to allow kids to either relate or see the family they grew up with on screen. Being told "We are Normal" was something that was missing for a lot of us queer people growing up so I'm happy to see more and more of my community showing up in media and reassuring kids.
Anyways, that's just about all the little fun facts I have within the shows for you guys! If anyone has extra info for anything cast and crew related be sure to let me know. Happy Pride Month and Protect Trans Kids! :)
