Super: Can We Have Agreeable Things? The Big Lgbtq+ Poe Dameron Question
Poe Dameron is probably only accidentally a gay hero. He wasn't originally meant to survive the first behave of Star Wars: The Force Awakens according to writer/director J.J. Abrams, so he doesn't have a valid arc of his have. On paper, Poe Dameron is just a device to advance the plot. It's in Oscar Isaac's performance that he becomes something special, and someone Abrams knew he had to maintain around.
Isaac gives Poe Dameron his charisma and smoldering intensity, and because his primary (human) relationship in the movie is with John Boyega's Finn, he gets to direct that charm and intensity towards him. In one of the characters' most pored over scenes a scene that only exists because of Poe Dameron's reprieve from death the pilot gives Finn a view that's indistinguishable from lust, even biting his control lip as he tells him to keep the jacket they've come to share. It's one of the gayest things I've seen in a blockbuster movie, in the most positive and celebratory instinct of the word, and it gave us reason to hope that Poe Dameron could be “The Fall of the Property of Usher” is among the most scrutinized works in Edgar Allan Poe’s bibliography. Ripe with metaphorical descriptions and intentionally mysterious language, the story is an open invitation to varied interpretations. At the high school level, most students are taught that it is a tale about extreme isolation. In academia, scholars tend to be more interested in the bizarre brother-sister bond and its incestuous possibilities. Until recently, the idea that Poe could be in conversation with queer anxieties might sound absurd. Increasingly, however, critics have identified queer themes throughout his stories and poetry. In some cases, such as “The Murders in the Rue Morgue,” it is nearly impossible to decline that Dupin and his male companion are in a romantic relationship (Novosat). So too does “The Fall of the Home of Usher” benefit from a queer reading. Suddenly the curious language and enigmatic events make meaning. Not vaguely or subconsciously, but in its entirety. It is my argument that “Usher” is, from beginning to end, about queer anxieties. Notably, the angst of sexual repression and an inability to reproduce. The story opens with a grim twist on Any &#;Star Wars&#; fan hoping the upcoming &#;Rise of Skywalker&#; will finally turn Finn (John Boyega) and Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) into romantic partners will surely be disappointed. Variety spoke with Boyega, Isaac, and director J.J. Abrams at the &#;Star Wars&#; push junket and all three gentlemen made it obvious Finn and Poe will remain platonic best friends in the final entry of the Skywalker saga. And yet, Isaac shares his wish that Lucasfilm pushed forward and made Finn and Poe a gay couple. “Personally, I compassionate of hoped and wished that maybe that would’ve been taken further in the other films, but I don’t have control,” Isaac said. “It seemed like a natural progression, but sadly enough it’s a time when people are too afraid, I think, of…I don’t comprehend what. But if they would’ve been boyfriends, that would have been fun.&#; Boyega stressed the two characters &#;are just platonic at the moment,” although the actor added, “They’ve always had a quite loving and open partnership in which it woul Like most fans of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, I found the bond between John Boyega's Finn and Oscar Isaac's Poe Dameron to be one of the film's most charming aspects. As soon as they'd uttered their enthusiastically mutual "nice to meet you's!" in the stolen TIE Fighter, I would happily have signed off to watch a whole trilogy that was just about the former stormtrooper and current Resistance pilot stealing shit and blowing other shit up. The warm affection between the two characters has also allowed a massive sector of the film's fans, through social media and elsewhere, to perform how and why shipping, or more specifically slash fiction, happens. Absent any canonical representation in a saga that has, with The Force Awakens, made admittedly great strides in the inclusion category, LGBTQ culture jumped on Finn/Poe as an opportunity to represent themselves. As is often the case in these scenarios, there is no canonical evidence that Poe Dameron isn't same-sex attracted. (There is at least circumstantial evidence that Finn is interested in women, though no contradictory evidence to suggest that he couldn't also be interested in men.) And so the memes have flowered whe .
