The dialog surrounding the LGBTQ+ second in Lightyear — Chris Evans’ 2022 Pixar film — has resurfaced after Snoop Dogg went viral for feedback about being “scared” to take his grandchildren to the theater. This was a fairly scorching matter again when the film was launched, and because the rapper’s feedback flow into, so too does the response Evans had for critics of the queer storyline three years in the past.
What Snoop Dogg Mentioned About Lightyear’s LGBTQ+ Storyline
In Buzz Lightyear’s origin story (which could be streamed with a Disney+ subscription), there’s a lesbian couple who share a baby. This apparently brought about Snoop Dogg’s grandchildren to ask questions that he wasn’t ready for when he took them to the movie show. He stated on the It’s Giving podcast that “they’re placing it all over the place,” in reference to queer illustration, retelling the mid-movie dialog he and his grandson had:
She had a child with a lady. Effectively, my grandson, in the course of the film is like, ‘Papa Snoop? How she have a child with a lady? She’s a lady!’ Oh shit, I didn’t come right here for this shit. I simply got here to observe the goddamn film. ‘Hey man, watch the film.’ ‘Uh uh. They simply stated she and she or he had a child. They each girls. How did she have a child?’
Snoop Dogg — who will function a coach on The Voice when it premieres on the 2025 TV schedule September 22 — admitted he was caught off-guard and deflected by turning his grandson’s consideration again to the film. On the podcast he continued:
I’m scared to go to the flicks now. Y’all throwing me in the course of shit that I don’t have a solution for. … It threw me for a loop. I’m like, these are children. We have now to indicate that at this age? They’re gonna ask questions. I don’t have the reply.
The rapper’s feedback in regards to the film have brought about some backlash, and plenty of followers remembered how Chris Evans initially responded to such sentiments again in 2022.
Followers Recall Chris Evans Saying ‘These Folks Are Idiots’
Chris Evans had some fairly sturdy opinions in regards to the discourse surrounding Lightyear’s lesbian storyline and admitted that it was onerous to not get annoyed that the same-sex kiss was even a controversial matter. So it’s no shock that the Captain America actor’s personal viral feedback are circulating once more in mild of Snoop Dogg’s podcast look.
Again in 2022, Chris Evans addressed Alisha Hawthorne’s (Uzo Aduba) story in Lightyear in a Reuters interview, and of the individuals offended by it, he stated:
The true reality is these persons are idiots. Each time there’s been social development as we get up, the American story, the human story is one in every of fixed social awakening and development and that’s what makes us good. There’s all the time going to be people who find themselves afraid and unaware and making an attempt to carry on to what was earlier than. However these individuals die off like dinosaurs. I feel the aim is to pay them no thoughts, march ahead and embrace the expansion that makes us human.
How’s that for a mic drop?
Lightyear was not the field workplace success that Pixar hoped it could be, and Disney apparently misplaced some huge cash attributable to its flop. Nevertheless, the dialog surrounding LGBTQ+ illustration, notably in upcoming Pixar motion pictures and different children’ flicks, lives on.
