La'Ron Readus's video: Why Gay Men Love WandaVision READUS 101

Why Gay Men Love WandaVision || Marvel Studios’ first Disney Plus show WandaVision has gained a solid LGBTQ following since its 2021 release, to the point where queer men have given Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff -- aka Scarlet Witch -- Diva Worship status. So I want to explain why gay men consider MCU Wanda according to queer theory and the history of diva worship, how relatability plays a factor in why gay men love WandaVision, and how its both good, bad and perfect regarding how the show reflects both the desires and struggles of queer culture and livelihood.
