#StreetFighterMovie spoilers? (eh kinda sorta) to those who keep telling me that vega & guile only like women, or that their moments together are not meant to be interpreted the way myself and others saw them, please do take the time to at least ready this small bit from orville peck’s (vega himself) interview with THEM magazine. vega is meant to be seen as a queer coded character, and both orville & the production team made sure to include many aspects of that, in the movie. i especially adore that it was actually cody’s idea to add in this sort of aspect to guile’s character. (especially since he’s spoken how in his day to day life, he tries to take himself out of that sort of toxic masculinity filled environment, and be a sensitive, emotional person, who is comfortable in his own masculinity and even his own sexuality.) guile has this hard, macho-man type personality, he’s almost meant to be presented as this very stereotypical all-american, heterosexual man who wouldn’t typically be the “sensitive” type (for lack of a better term) so it’s very cool to me that cody came in with the idea of adding bits and pieces of his own humanity into the guile we see on the big screen. and it’s just really neat to see all different sides of queerness explored on screen, even in these sorts of “subtle” (but also not really subtle at the same time) ways as they were shown in the film. i’m mainly just rambling & it’s super late, but i still found this really cool to read.
