"Put a chick in it and make her lame and gay." 

When Matt Stone and Trey Parker released their hour-long South Park special about Disney/Star Wars's Kathleen Kennedy and the "panderverse," the world collectively laughed at Disney's wokification. While the focus was primarily on Star Wars, a brand that had gone from being a cultural mainstay and billion-dollar franchise to a poisoned brand whose audience had largely abandoned it, the words of Eric Cartman echoed throughout all of Disney's properties.

Including Marvel. 

And because South Park's special episode went so viral, there's suspicion that it might have had an effect on the final cut of Marvel's latest failure of an outing, The Marvels.

According to Bounding Into Comics, the triple-female lead movie is rumored to have had a suggestive moment that indicated the movie's star character, Brie Larson's Carol Danvers (Captain Marvel), was in an off-screen lesbian relationship with Valkyrie, a Thor character played by Tessa Thompson.

Per a source, a moment where a meeting between the two gives the feeling that the two know each other much better than their screen time in the MCU would suggest, including an overlong embrace. This prompted confusion from the audience as the two characters had barely had any screen time together, but apparently, Disney left a line on the cutting room floor that would explain it. 

A Bounding wrote, the source noted that the line makes it pretty evident that the two were in a romantic relationship offscreen at some point.

"We work better as friends," is the line. 

This was apparently left out of the final cut, which Disney/Marvel got to after endless reshoots and rewrites. As Bounding wrote, it could be that there would be a continuity error with a romance between the two, but there's a strong suspicion that Disney removed the scene in order to give the viral South Park narrative about Disney more weight. 

Narratively speaking, it would be a wise move. Marvel is already staring down the barrel of a loaded gun that they themselves wield. The politicization and feminization of their movies have prompted audiences to walk away from Disney/Marvel products in large chunks. So much so that The Marvels failed to bring in even $50 million on its opening weekend and had a 78 percent drop in audience attendance in its second weekend. 

The excuse given by Disney shills and its own director, Nia DeCosta, was that sexism and misogyny prevented the film from being successful, but the truth is Disney has taught audiences not to show up to its creations because it's bound to be a boring rehash of social justice concepts and message-first storytelling.

It's so common that South Park created an episode around it, and a good portion of America got the joke. It's very possible that Disney didn't want to lend credence to the joke by pulling this singular line that would have been its lame chick-driven movie gay as well.
