“are they gay or european? both, actually” LMFAO
*ahem* THERE RIGHT THERE-

@@elsassafr LOOK AT THE TAN WELL TENDED SKIN
WAIT YOU LIKE PJO SHUT UP NXOWNXOQOS ALL THE LADIES LOVE LEO
They're gay AND european!
here's a tip: if my 6-year-old sister said she wanted Luca and Alberto to get married, you can acknowledge its gay too
edit: there must be so many gay people in these comments because i somehow got a ton of likes
6??? Your sister is going places. Good places.
Show her the Citta Vuota Luca x Alberto animatic. It has their first dance mixed with the two getting married as adults and it is SO heartwarming.
@@Nightman221k bro i saw it and cried instantly like I really can’t
@@Nightman221k I agree with this sentiment. She will love it! It’s incredibly wholesome
@@mkthatartist7979 I know right?
This made me realize that the only time people get angry over a childhood crush story is when the two kids in question are of the same sex. They don't care if Timmy and Rebecca are blushing at each other and exchanging love letters. But if Timmy so much as looks at John, suddenly there is an issue with the characters being "too young to have crushes and understand relationships". Really says a lot about society and it's double standards, eh?
trueeeee
Literally. I mean everyone has an issue with Luca and Alberto but no one had an issue with Carl and Ellie in up? Both pairs are cute and the double standard is annoying
it gets worse when you want asexual characters in kids movies.
@@kaiyodei I thought they all were until proven otherwise (what directors always say)
@@Stairhater101 as a fellow queer teen, gay kids will be gay kids. I had crushes on girls and boys as a little kid, that didn't confuse me at all. What was confusing, was how the only representation I ever got was of girls and boys, and no representation for people like me. Watching movies or reading books with gay characters didn't "expose" me to confusion, it was reassuring, as for once, I could see myself in a positive story with people I could relate to. All kids need representation.
One thing I like to do in scenarios of ambiguous gayness is what I call the “what if it were straight” test. Gender swap one of the characters and read it again. Is it romantic now? If yes, then it was romantic all along. And that train scene. Is not platonic.
i must agree
…Would you not cry and hug them goodbye if you were saying goodbye to a close friend? Same sex or not, I feel like that’s an odd argument
None of you have experienced the drama right before every summer break period when kids realize they won't see their best friend for a whole couple of weeks due to vacation.
Ikr like that train scene was straight out of a romance movie
This exactly!

The part where Luca gently tells his mom that ‘We’re always safe/careful’ hit me right in the gut as an Older Gay. The prevalence of parents assuming you’d die by HIV/AIDS was huge in the time when I came out.
Yes! Same for me, even though I came out in 2010. There was, and still is in some circles, that fear, even with the advances in medicine in the decades since.

Is it really?
@@Ebh55. yep
@@Ebh55.yeah. one of the director drew a few pics and one of them kissing
My initial reaction was like "if they took it this far, why can't they just make it explicitly gay?" but then I remembered this might be so important for children whose parents would send them to "the bottom of the ocean" if they show interest in an explicitly queer movie. So instead of "Hey can we watch Luca the gay movie?" it's "Hey can we watch Luca the sea monster movie?"
Sameee
I'm sad that our kids movies still have to be queer coded
But I'm glad this one was. The fact that so many straights are denying the gayness in it just shows that their kids are watching the movie and getting the message
honestly i'm thankful for them
My take is because it also makes other identities relevant and relatable too. Why can't Luca be bi, pan, and/or ace but alloromantic? Putting it as one can make it a little less relatable for other identities. I as an aro ace nb was able to relate. Did I see Luca and Alberto as a romantic couple? No. Close friends exist too, watch sunsets, build things, etc. It's openness makes the end message more powerful. I as aro, ace, and nb can relate to it on all three levels that makes me not cishet.
@@twylenb “alloromantic”? 😂 why does having romantic attraction for people (the majority of people) need to be represented? It’s literally represented in majority of movies
@@zachsmith5766 it’s to clarify that they’re ace but also alloromantic, and not ace and aro
Even if Alberto was a girl, Luca would still be Pixar's gayest movie.
Facts
it would be high school musical basically
Your profile picture ………..
The hs pfp 👍
(i have to say nice pfp)
if Luca were a girl everyone would just assume they were dating smh 😭😭
Honestly. Someone should make an edited version where Luca or Alberto is a girl, show half of a test audience the original and half the edited version and you'll see the biases
@@FirestarYT Exactly!! That would honestly be very interesting to see....as well as disheartening, as it would certainly reveal how biased so many people are. :'( I'll bet you anything, if there was an alternate version where Luca or Alberto was a girl, EVERY person in the audience would be going: "Aww! What a cute couple!🥰" But because it's two boys in the original version, they hate the idea of anyone shipping them or simply thinking they're cute together.🙄😢
@@FirestarYTI think that two studios should release the same short film. One with a male and female duo, one with a male and male duo. Make both of the characters very romantically attracted to eachother in both of the films, and show it to audiences because I guarantee people will assume that the wlm one is romantic, and the mlm one is platonic
Movie makers: Can we make a gay movie?
Disney: Ok, but you can never ever ever say that it's gay. We want all the money.
Movie makers: Ogay.
to everyone saying that “you can’t call them gay because they’re kids! stop sexualising them!” you need to understand that queerness is not inherently sexual. if you think it is, then you need to take a look at yourself and think about whether it is YOU who is sexualising queer people. (and if so, that’s not acceptable and you need to work to change that)
THIS IS THE ONE.
Oh dang you right! I always hear ppl say that and don't even listen to what they think they're saying!
I'm not the one who made a video trying to prove that 2 minors are gay
@@webbyoyster did u not read a word of my comment?
But now anyone can't be friends 🙄
It drives me kind of crazy how so many of the people with internalized homophobia say, “can’t males just be friends anymore?” Or something to to that effect just because gay fans interpret it to be a crush (cause it is framed that way). It’s kind of insane that it makes them so angry for representation to be anything other than straight. Like they can’t see themselves enjoying something if it’s queer.
not to mention there is a lot of movies of “males being friends”
@@ceciliatoledo837 Even if they were platonic, it's like the idea of one of the Underdogs being LGBT+ is some kind of affront to keep them from enjoying the film. Despite the fact that they already say they enjoy it. What exactly would it change if one or more of them was gay?
@@ceciliatoledo837 literally tho! they always say that in pretty much every fandom and that fandom is mostly just male friendships that are just that. and people just want it to be that.
It’s also dumb because why assume that you can’t be friends with your crush. It’s not an exclusive thing. You can be best friends with the person you love.
@@MonyXChan yeah, exactly! i actually had a giant crush on my best friend when were were younger and that's all we were (we're both girls) and i feel like people forget that you can be friends or best friends with your crush

This is the best day ever!!🥳💃
Wait what? PLS EXPLAIN
@@uhuh9859Basically, one of the creators of Luca has posted a lot of art of Luca and Alberto being in love.😄 (tumblr was where I saw it)
@@uhuh9859 to be more specific (and also im hyperfixated on luca so talking abt anything that has to do with it makes me happy so yea) Mckenna harris, story lead on luca and director of ciao alberto have posted in their instagram story some « unsanctioned fanarts » of luberto to celebrate its release on the big screen this spring, so technically it isn’t canon cause it isn’t in the movie itself but a win is a win jendidndisk so everyone freaked out cause well those fanarts came from someone important in the creation of the movie and the « sequel » and also because well disney needs to sell so having queer main characters would ruin them and make the movie flop so having these fanarts made by kenna is the closest to canon we’ll ever get so just for fun and to celebrate some good and interesting queer rep lets say its semi-canon eidjisndlsn (also they kinda implied there will be more to come AND I JUST NEED MORE LUCA IN MY LIFE SO IF YOU SEE THIS KENNA PLEASE FEED US /hj)
@@Biggest_Luisa_Fan That makes it fan fiction. The director doesn't always have full authority over a movie.
This aged so well lol
You forgot the gayest scene of them all!!! After Luca and Albert sleep in the treehouse the first time, it's been raining so they've both transformed back. Luca wakes up first, looks at Alberto lovingly, and then panics because he realizes they transformed, I mean, he realizes that it looks really gay that they've been sleeping together and cuddling all night, so he desperately wakes Alberto so that they together can erase all signs of seamonster-ness, I mean, gayness from themselves before they go have breakfast with Julia and her dad.
Omg i didn't even realize
oh god my heart, I didn't really care for this movie much before but that's..
I totally wish this had been included! It's such a funny yet serious moment.
... what the actual hell?
He didn’t panic because it looked g@y. He panicked because they transformed into sea monsters and if anyone saw them, THEY WOULD BE KILLED. And who said they were cuddling? And didn’t the girl tell them to sleep there? And wasn’t the dad obsessed with killing trying to kill a sea monster?
Hahahaha this title is amazing. Usually you're like "are the gay? You decide", but this time it's just, yeah they are.
it's not even a question this time lol
@@v4leree facts
Because its obvious
They're cartoon children. They aren't gay.
@@enigmachinasclass8153 I didnt watch this movie or watch this video, so idc
The way Alex has not missed a single time, he's always right lmao
I know, right?!
POV: its 2024 and it just became canon
It did?! I been living under a rock..
To be clear, it was not confirmed by the director themselves, but a storyboard picture did posit Alberto and Luca doing romantic stuff so it may as well be confirmed gay but is toned down.
I am aro/ace and I'm pretty dense when it comes to romantic subtext or gestures, but onces the two older women "came out" after Luca and Alberto were accepted, and the grandma gave the "some will never accept them, they just have to find good people" speech, I just knew. You really can't make it more obvious, even I caught it.
Same. I, myself, am idemromantic, which makes differentiating platonic and romantic relationships even more difficult for me. However, I cannot deny that a lot of the elements that Luca contains are so painfully romantic. And, sure, it is just as important to normalize intimacy between male, platonic friendships, but I think the lack of that is linked to homophobia. Men are not intimate with each other for fear of being labeled "gay," after all, so I think that if we want to normalize that, then we should deal with the root cause of it first.
Apologies for rambling, haha. I just wanted to speak up about it because as much as I hate the fact that our society is so amatonormative, I still think accepting queer romance is part of the process of accepting queerness as a whole.
@@ieii9925 THIS^^ soooo many people overlook it but it's the truth. Thanks for saying this
I'm aro/ace as well and as soon as alberto said his first letter in the movie, i just knew where this was gonna go
I’m a lesbian (demiaroace!) and caught it when the grandma was looking out for Luca, thats such a big gay trope + what she said in the end and the fucking train scene?? omg
Yup
Pixar can't convince me that it was purely accidental. Someone on the team of animators knew what they were doing. The "back off" glares that Alberto gives when he sees Giulia touching Luca's hand or them getting close. The scene where they bump into each other on the boat with Massimo and blush and make awkward faces looked like an Amity and Luz awkward moment. They framed the scenes where Alberto was jealous identically to a love triangle and then with the part where they saved each other during the race and that ending and the dramatic hand holding. I've never seen a dramatic chasing the train sequence done in a platonic way without it emulating romantic feelings. Not to mention the dream sequences kind of imply a closer bond Luca feels with Alberto cause he imagines himself and Alberto on the same vespa, where as he imagines he and his friend Giulia on separate flying machines.
Watch The Half of It for non-romantic train chasing sequences 🥰
@@ejvanilla7709 ohh yes I love that movie! it's also queer and I kind of have a small crush on ellie 🌈🥺
When they're riding on the vespa--I might be reading too much into it but--Luca's hand is on Alberto's waist, which is usually seen as a romantic gesture.
Pixar did know what they were doing. McKenna Harris was the story lead for Luca and an artist too.
Hasn't even been a month of them being Canon and already the "Amity and Luz blush" is becoming a thing, this makes me so happy
Ppl could argue “ohh ur reaching” but the co-creator of the movie literally drew (FANART, THEY MADE IT CLEAR IT WAS FANART BUT STILL) Luca and Alberto kissing.
So turns out, this was confirmed. He was right again folks.
I was like “damn this is an allegory for gay” that ending with the grandma saying “some people will never accept them, they just need to know how to find the good ones” LIKE
When i heard "accept them" thats when i know
EXACTLY I MEAN COME ON
How can they not just be friends. It also makes sence if they are friends
I watched this with some church kids and I literally looked up at this point to see if anyone else got the reference. All the kids who realized this reference were looking at each other like, "This is very very gay"

GUESS WHAT GOT CONFIRMED ALMOST 3 YEARS LATER???
I only watched luca like half a week ago, and after months of seeing people online talking about how gay it is, I fully expected it to be like, oh it's probably a movie featuring a close male friendship and people are reading romance into it, like 90% of the time tumblr latches onto an m/m ship
but i watched it and NOPE, NAH, IT'S 100% GAY FROM LIKE 4 DIFFERENT ANGLES
Exactly the same thoughts I had
more like every different angle if you ask me
*I dont see anyway it can be gay. Its purely coincidental*
@@Evanedits191 you don't see it because you are straight and can't relate to what lgbt faces
@@straawberryfieldsforever or its because the director said it was never his intention
the grandma literally has her own 'I was a lesbian back in my day' moment when talking about the land and y'all STILL think there's no gayness?
Plenty of gayness. But just as a bait, and these people swallowed the bait hard, and are now trying to convince everyone else "no, the fake fish i ate IS real!"
What does that have to do with the fictional children being romanticized because of "muh feelings"?
@@enigmachinasclass8153 “fictional children being romanticized” LMAO. That’s not even what romanticizing something means, first of all. And secondly, you probably mean that people are specializing children if they’re interpreted to be two boys crushing on each other. Which really begs the question, why do you think gay relationships are inherently more sexual? Disney movies and most cartoons for kids have straight romance in them, or at least crushes. Why’s it any different if it’s gay? Coming off a bit homophobic there my dude.
@@KazKindred613 That is always the first assumption you people make. You must not like adults incessantly shipping child characters because you're homophobic. I assure you, that isn't the case. It's one thing for writers to include a childhood crush, it's another for fans of that medium to push attraction on two minors who are confirmed to have a platonic relationship. End of.
@@enigmachinasclass8153 bruh does it matter?
who's here in 2024 afte rluca and alberto were confirmed to be gay?
HERE!!
✋️
Me!!
Fun fact : my homophobic mom watched this with me and my dad. And she said it was "a really cute movie about two cute boys being *best friends* and that Alberto was a bad influence even as a friend and she preferred him with the girl".
Straight people have got a problem lmao.
Bi the way (pun intended), my dad and I got the hint immediately with the famous "there will be people that will never accept him blablabla" but I was already kind of convinced before. However I was far from imagining the symbolism would be this deep, great job Alex !
It really really spoke to me and my story and ugh I'm crying. i know im a gay people now thx lmao
Disagree
and the fact that the posters they show for the vespa shows a guy riding it and a girl holding onto him romantically while Alberto and Luca talk about wanting to buy one together . someone on the animation team knew what they were doing putting the poster there as a way of showing them being different than what humans are used to
WAIT I'M SOBBING
I always thought the Roman Holiday poster was there to sort of put an implied year on the story (With Roman Holiday and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea posters implying that Luca takes place around 1954 when both films would have first been shown in theaters). I never thought about the poster reflecting that in Luca the poster was meant to show how the characters of Roman Holiday reflect Luca/Alberto also riding the Vespa together. That’s a neat interpretation.
wait what poster? the one at albertos tower only has one guy on it, i don't see a woman with him
@@katiewilliams7244 the one when Luca and Alberto convinced Giulia to join her team and about the prize money for their Vespa.
yes!! and in the dream sequence alberto and luca are riding the vespa together. it’s a direct parallel some people are so stupid to deny it
People denying how incredibly gay the characters and story in Luca are is just ridiculous. It's beyond blatant.
People denying it because they are children and shouldn't be sexualized
@@barracuda0405 just because a child has a crush on another child it doesn’t mean it’s inherently sexual, young teenagers are in romantic relationships all of the time.
@@barracuda0405 that’s literal homophobic rhetoric used to demonize gay ppl. Kids are gay get over it.

@@charliesweb7071 "homophobic rhetoric to demonize gay people" lmao calm down it's not! You know once a character gets labled as [insert sexuality] they get sexualized. Just how the interbet works. Instead let them be childs ffs
this is really funny to watch in 2024 when luca x alberto was confirmed cannon lol
I really like how Luca's mother doesn't end up being a bad guy. Unlike a lot of homophobic parents, she does end up understanding that even if she thinks humans are scum of the Earth (I mean she's not wrong), she lets Luca adventure out and go to school because she loves him. It gives me hope that there are parents out there with the ability to change.
I literally watched a lecture from the Pixar crew that worked on Luca and they basically did a disclaimer that it's gay but they can't say it's gay. They said that you can interpret it however you want to and project your own identity into it and then they kept like winking during the Zoom call. It was hilarious.
OHHH??? LINK????
@@kerensahardesty9851 It was a Zoom lecture, so there is no link.
@@alyssarouso Awe, that's too bad. Was there a recording, at least?
@@kerensahardesty9851 No, Disney blocked recordings from it, and as someone who works for them and wants to progress further within the company, I respected their wishes.
This is why Pixar should have had control.
One thing I really appreciated was the scene where Luca and Alberto get scared while talking to Giulia and grab onto each other. Instead of doing the "classic", played-for-laughs realization and jerk away from each other, they simply disentangle themselves without any awkwardness or even acknowledgement.
The rocking boat part had similar blushing awkward crush style expression. It really reminded me of how Lumity in The Owl House depicted the crush moments.
@@Nightman221k is that when they're fishing with Giulia's papa?
@@bunji_beans Yes, that's the scene.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE WHAT THE CO DIRECTOR JUST POSTED
Fun fact: In the Italian voiceover the actor for Luca is an Alberto, and the actor for Alberto is a Luca. While both Luca and Alberto are very common Italian names - so it could just be a really fun coincidence - it is also LITERALLY a case of "call me by your name". Lol.
Wait, WHAT?!
I didn't know that but I'm glad I do now
Oh boy ! could this get anymore beautiful?!
Wooooooow. Okay.
This was indeed a fun fact, and I’m putting it in the fun fact box.
It's actually the perfect gay metaphor. The representation it's clearly there even if it's not explicitly said. There isn't a need for labels because they're still kids, but definitely queer kids.
It's like the animated G rated version of Call me by your name.
And the peach scene was just cut completely. Haha
Yes totally
this aged like fine wine
Hey, its almost 3 years later and they're officially queer, a person from the crew posted(at least i think) drawings of them 😮😮😮!! kissing!!! And being just gay folks. So yeah we were all right, they're gay 😁 woohoo we won
The fact that both the actors of the main characters said they’d be up for a sequel where the boys are a little older and in a romantic relationship gives me hope for the future
what?!! where that news came from?!! Really, that´ll be so awesome!!
Did they really? That’d be amazing!
YO REALLY?! THAT'D BE SO POGGERS!!!!!
Where do they say that?
Please post this because this would be so great if it happened
I showed this movie to my 19 year old cishet brother, and we’re like 20 minutes into the movie as he turns to me and says: “Soo, this is gay, right?”
I am literally bi, but didn’t truly catch the metaphor until the grandma line near the end. So yeah. Absolutely gay.
The director has even said on Twitter that he doesn’t mind if people view it as such.
exactly, before I watched Luca I thought "ok so they probably have an undefined friendship that could come across as a romantic relationship in a certain context" but the entire time I was actually watching the movie I was thinking "wow how could people think this was JUST a friendship." (emphasis on the just because Luca and Alberto are still friends but not just friends.)

@@bigboi4488 the director and team also would get in trouble when saying its gay. They did actually anot recorded interaction where they were pretty open and did it with a "wink wink" .

Why you can view it is a confirmation, withadded deniability to protect the director
It’s SO GAY it’s amazing. One of the writers confirmed a while after it was released that they debated making it a romance, and since released sketches of older them having their first kiss etc. so I guess we’re not getting a sequel.

@@blue______It's on tumblr. :D I made an account there recently and searched up "Luca" and it was one of the first things that came up.
I recently showed this movie to my older brother, partially due to how beautiful it is visually (he works in 3d animation and absolutely loses his mind over good visuals, and he was gushing over the lighting and colors within the first minute) but I was also curious how long it would take him to pick up on the gay subtext without me telling him or hinting that it was there. My older brother is straight and cis (as opposed to me who is bi and trans). He's super supportive of me in my queerness and is a great ally but doesn't usually pick up on these types of things unless they're outright confirmed and explicit (i.e. a kiss, a date, etc) But once that scene where they're riding the vespa through the field of flowers comes on, he kinda pauses and goes, "... this movie is kinda gay, isn't it?"
Lmao that's hilarious. I mean, no friends fantasize about them in a field of flowers together. Remember that scene in Shrek??
Wanna mention this because it could be something he picked up on as well, other than how close their "totally just a friendship" is, there's a thing called film language which is based on the lighting, the tone, the music, certain poses and tropes, which all combine to tell you stuff implicitly and I'm sure he was influenced by that, especially working in animation. Which is important because it means the film language completely contradicts the producer saying this movie isn't gay, they put in the subtext.
If Luca is literally a gay slow-burn, friends-to-lover's, coming-out-in-a-homophobic-enviroment fanfic brought to life by Pixar. Nothing can change my mind.
We don't need to change your mind, because you're right.
They are based on the Directors childhood friends and both of them are not gay
@@GreenBunnyTNT. it’s all for fun dude go home
Why can’t they just be friends and as a person who ships everything I don’t ship Luca with anyone you wanna know why cause they are just friends
@@10ones Because it doesn’t hurt anyone or anything thinking that they could be more than friends.
Well this aged like wine
as someone who hates it when people make everything about shipping instead of just enjoying the plot, you can just tell there’s something special between Luca and Alberto like I’m sorry 😭 not my fault that Disney and Pixar are masters at queerbaiting
"they're kids" yeah but if one of them was a girl everyone would ship them ._.
And what if they're kids? You didn't had a crush when you were in elementary school or something
Not everyone. Not even close
some people still ship luca and julia💀💀
I wouldn’t
@@zsofiasuveges2597 WHAT💀💀
Ship them where?
I'm really surprised that he didn't mention Luca's uncle. See, biologically in nature, female anglerfish are the big ones with the sharp teeth and the glowy thing on top of their heads. Male anglerfish are much much smaller and are basically parasitic tadpoles. So yeah, Uncle Ugo is indeed a trans man.
damn i love it here
This is satire right
@@why-oh-wai no it's biology uwu
@@lilacramen7483 yeah and clown fish switch genders when their mate dies, but nobody's reaching hard and saying marlin is trans male huh

This aged very well
what happened
@@BlueMagiciteIt's now canon that they are gay xD
Well well well, look who ended up entirely right
AGAIN
and how Luca’s daydreams all included Alberto on the vespa with him
His daydreams about going on flying machines with Giulia has them on separate ones rather than sharing one like he envisioned with the Vespa and Alberto.
The creator has said multiple times he's okay with people interpreting it as gay, still I think he means it is gay.
I swear to God there had to be a wink and a nod when he said. Like this movie couldn't of been gayer outside of outright just saying it.
@@lizzy532 unfortunately, he said it in a tweet that I spent an hour trying to find but I can't for the life of me and I am not going to look at every post he made-
But some highlights I remember is that he is glad that LGBTQ+ plus people are taking refuge in Luca and that despite being a straight man that uses he/him pronouns he fully supports the LGBTQ+ community.
I don’t believe so, I’ve had friendships very much like this as a young boy, but I wasn’t thinking I was gay. They were just boys I grew up with and had a deep bond with.
Some of them I still feel are my family and brothers. I would give my life for them.
But as much as I love them dear to my heart, I don’t romantically love them.
But I do love them.
Western culture has unfortunately made it so any semblance of male bonding is quickly associated with gayness, and I’m glad people feel so good with this movie being a “gay” film.
But like the director. We really just have male friends who we love deeply & we aren’t scared of male bonding.
he said it was never his intent tho
@@DowntownLAKid the problem of western culture is wider, it spreads the idea that love = romance. In the same way that any female interacting with the hero's story becomes a romantic interest, or that romance is "more than friendship". Nope, not more, just different. Platonic relationships can be just as strong and even stronger.
And 2 yrs later, it is confirmed
IT WAS OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED MY BOY WAS RIGHT
pretending this movie is purely heterosexual is like pretending yuri on ice isnt gay.
Yuri on Ice is gay? /s
@Just Another Gayboy Have you seen the anime?
@@fuzya8636 it was sarcasm, obviously. It be gay

anyone seeing this after alberto and luca became canon
Me, who believes in healthy same-sex friendships:
Yeah, no, Luca is definitely gay.
ye
This.
No they're not the producer literally said they're not so stop believing
@@maritzasemprit3649 Because Pixar would probably get backlash from homophobic parents if they did say it directly.
Off topic but I love your pfp
I used to be on the fence about calling this movie gay because we also need to normalize close male friendships without them being called gay for it in order to take down toxic masculinity and all, but then I realized that if gay weren't still seen as a bad thing then it wouldn't be used as an insult/they wouldn't feel afraid of being called it. And the only way to do that is to normalize being gay!
So gay it up! The movie's gay! The fish be gay! Gay gay homosexual gay
yeah I totally agree with you, but I think it's also disheartening that creators are taking things that are so painfully obviously intrinsic to to the queer experience and then denying that any queerness was ever there in the first place, as seen in luca and all the subtext it has. James Somerton has a great video essay on Luca where he talks about this much more eloquently than I ever could, you should give it a watch!
even the sheep fish gay! everything gay!
gay gay lesbian gay
GAY lol
Be they straight or gay, these two guys love each other. They have 4 displays of selfless love in a row. Luca decides to win the race to prove to Alberto that he (Alberto) has someone he can depend on, Alberto risks his safety to make sure Luca isn't outed as a seamonster (knowing how Luca's dream is to fit in with humans and learn), Luca outs himself and saves Alberto when Alberto is in the net, and Alberto gives up the vespa to show how much Luca's happiness means to him even if they're apart during the school year.
Personally, I think that these two being so selfless and loving to each other makes me like the headcanon that they become a couple in the future.
OH THIS HAS AGED SO WELL XD
this aged PERFECTLY they are canon and i’m the happiest i’ve ever been in my life
as a Mediterranean european: no, it's still gay
and the thing that frustrates me is that, if Alberto and Luca were real people, the same people denying their queerness would all turn to ASSUME they were in a relationship (and be bigoted accordingly), because it's just blatantly obvious the nurture the boys feel for eachother, and that kind of expression is very much frowned upon, specially in small towns like Porto Rosso.
interesting, just on a plot and behavior level I didn't see anything obviously gay about their relationship. It was just friendship. I had plenty of such friendship in my childhood and I cried when I had to go away after the summer or when a friend moves away, and there was no gayness about it (at least from my side). I am just saying, this is not obvious. I get the meta-narrative level and metaphors, but the film portrayed it on relationship/plot level in such a way that they could be gay or nor, it really does not matter, not the point, because point is friendship.
@@Rendref did u have fantasy of running away with ur same gender best friend and living by urself forever and then get jealous if they make a opposite gender friend !? (no offense lmao)
@@Rendref honest question, are you gay?
@@coltonwolf3462 honest answer, no. At least last time I checked, lol. Also, I wonder where is my answer to another comment, it was so lengthy... I guess I'll have to answer again.
@@Rendref well that’s the thing, for you, you wouldn’t see the signs that people of the LGBTQ+ community would see. and that’s okay! its just not something you can immediately see if you’ve never lived through those experiences. Luca resonates with me so much as growing up queer, i didnt realize i had crushes on some of the boys i hung out with. i later realized, when i got older, that i in fact was in love with them (i also somewhat knew during that time, but i was repressing my feelings because i didnt exactly know i was gay yet). its also the characters themselves that SCREAM queer children because of their experiences, as i literally have lived that life. its not that you’re mistaken either, because it does revolve around friendship, but it also isn’t just about that, as subtext and coding of the characters is so apparent to us of the lgbtq+ community.
“They can’t be gay!! They’re children, stop sexualizing them!!” BEING GAY ISNT INHERENTLY SEXUAL. We have crushes as kids, we get butterflies when talking to people we like, we hold hands, etc etc. Just admit you’re homophobic and move on.
And yet we have Gravity Falls where both Dipper/Mabel have crushes and are both 13 years old.
@@emperium108 yeah doesn’t dipper have a crush on Wendy who’s like 15 💀

YOURE THE FIRST PERSON THAT PRONOUNCES “Alberto” CORRECTLY, I LOVE YOU
I think he's from latam, so... since Alberto is a common name
There are more than a way to pronounce Alberto.
The pronunciation can change depending of where you live. In my country no one says Alberto like that.
he's from mexico and his mother is from venezuela and we do pronounce alberto like that!
@@SteffOrSomething yep! I’m Mexican too, but in the English community is rare to find someone that pronounces our names properly
yeah people pronounce it like 'al-ber-toe' and it's so weird????
as if it needed to be further explained, pixar cared to use città vuota as the credits song. look up for its translation, it's basically about a person who's sad because their lover is away from them.

Oh, for sure lol! XD
Last year I went to a speaker session from a leader of Disney’s LGBTQ Employee Resource group. Question: when are we getting an animated movie with a gay lead? Answer: It’s tough to get permission to say it outright, but trust me, we’re working on it! I’m convinced this is the result and many actual queer people at the lower working levels of Disney/Pixar worked to make this as gay as possible.
We love to see it.
Nope we won't see anything actually from start to finish before they suddenly don't care what the beloved CCP think. Otherwise its going to be vague and easily editable.
It is facts, it written over everything,
th ccp is just an excuse to not go there, by the way.

Hello fellow poly pancake!!
Hi I'm Italian go listen to Raffaella Carrà's song "Luca" it's in Italian but it's literally a girl saying that she loved this boy a lot but then one day she saw him with another blonde haired boy and since that day she never saw him again
The singer Raffaella Carrà is very popular here in Italy she died recently she will always be remembered as a strong supporter of the LGBT community
Awww imma search it up :D
Hmm that must be totally a concience XD An its cute
This aged so well 👌
A lot of people assume the reason so many people think their gay is because we just want to force the boys to just be gay for the sake of being gay but that's not true, I normally don't ship characters together unless shown to have a stronger connection then they do with other characters so it doesn't matter if they are same sex or not, to me its the vibe that they like each other. In this case I felt such a strong connection that the first time Alberto was jealous I blurted out "Are they gay?" the vibe felt like every jealous boy in a love triangle but this time it was towards luca and not a girl
"You got a Bruno in your head"
"A Bruno?"
Yes, we don't talk about him though.
