You know what would be an even better idea. Let them be well written deep characters with good dialog and back stories in a compelling narrative set in an interesting and engaging world.

Do that first and then if the characters happen to be queer that’s great.

Because a film that is hyped and then bombs at the box office because it puts anything before being an actually good film does more harm to those communities than any benefit derived from “representation” in the film itself.

Movies have one primary goal, that is to be entertaining. If they fail at that one job because they are too busy being obsessed about the latest social political movement of the time it doesn’t matter.

A shit film is shit film and no amount of representation, grand standing about the environment, commenting on gender politics, or any other social political movement can save a garbage script from being garbage.

Worry about making a good movie first everything else should be secondary. This is why super hero movies are dying because they are increasingly garbage that worry about just about everything other than actually being good.

You want some great films with representation where the representation is integral but not the point of the film. I can recommend two recent fantastic movies. “Bottoms” and “Drive-Away Dolls”. These movies feature queer characters but actually focus on being compelling and interesting stories first, the fact that the characters are queer is integral to some aspects of both movies but is not the central aspect of the film nor is it shoe-horned in to allow for some demographic “representation”

So yes, please, more queer characters that would be awesome. But if they are in a garbage movie no one is going to care.
