God I love how he just refuses to be subtle about it. Just straight-up says they should've gotten together and that Disney are cowards for not embracing it.
@@jakethebased7195 Oh yeah thank god they totally sideline the characters instead of actually giving them a well-written arc to compliment their chemistry. Why are you even on this video? 😂
as a gay his refusal to censor what everyone saw in the dynamic between these two characters even when disney said “no homo!!” makes me really happy what a legend
The first interview kills me, lmao. The way the he said /past/ with emphasis and then the way he raised his eyebrows when she kept trying to nudge him into Poe and Zori, that took me out xD
The sad thing is, it already does point to one, but Disney decided to choose more money over good writing. That's what all of their directing choices boil down to, honestly.
@@itsloganskywalker definitely that too, definitely that too. I was just referring to the countries they still sell their products and media to that are bigoted, and therefore to keep them happy, Disney censors itself (see: The Owl House) or just flat out denies writers any representation at all.
@@jackhummer8344 yeah... why did they pretty much retconned Rose's whole character in TROS tho, I still genuinely don't get it :/ She already got so little amount of significance for the plot, and now they just... _poofed_ it out of existence?? Still a bit salty over it you know...
@@windijihansalsabila1731 I know this is an old comment, but I just wanted to reply anyway… I always just assumed that Rose was practically written out of the story because her character was part of the huge backlash from the fandom over TLJ. I didn’t like her being pushed as a love interest for Finn, but I liked her character well enough. That whole backlash made me ashamed to be part of the Star Wars fandom. I absolutely am a FinnPoe shipper, so I didn’t care for them introducing a potential female “love interest” for either of them, but that was a cruel thing to do to Kelly Marie Tran.
The funniest part is that they tried so hard to tell everyone Finn and Poe are 100% straight, yet I went to watch the last movie with my quite homophobic dad, and when the end came my dad was like "now Finn and Poe are gonna kiss right?" And they didn't and my dad was so confused because he thought the whole story was alluding to them getting together in the end. It was hilarious.
Aw man as a totally straight dude i kindof thought this in the movies too. I really was like "man these two guys like... really connect. I wonder if they will get together bcuz it really makes sense they would." and yet nothing. I didnt really think that much of it until i saw all the interviews with these dudes who agreed that their characters should have been gay. These are some of the manliest men ever and would show a very different side to homosexuality that i dont think is seen. Two great actors that i hope will reprise their roles after disney kills the last 3 movies that sucked and go more mandaloiran on the next 3 movies.
Really disappointed that the writers didn’t make Finn and Poe boyfriends. It would have been really cool to have a romantic relationship between men who are main characters in this popular franchise. It’s really nice hearing Oscar Isaac voice a lot of the same issues that we, the LGBTQ+ audience, have been feeling.
OMG, I thought this was just gonna be a bunch of things taken out of context--but he freaking SAYS IT every chance he gets... We gays are used to settling for less, but just his acknowledgment of the romance between the characters means a lot.
It’s so cathartic to hear him say boyfriends, to hear him be explicit in his language so that there’s no way it could be misinterpreted. Its such a small thing but it makes the biggest difference
I am so mad that their relationship didn't become real. If either of their characters had been a woman there is no way they wouldn't have kissed with the way their storylines happened. Disney is a bunch of cowards.
And not only cowards. Cowards would have just been to never mention that Finn and Poe are having a romantic relationship, and just leave it at the subtext. But no...Disney intentionally chose the homophobic route by shoehorning female love interests for them. They literally just wrote two female characters that have no actual character. Their sole purpose is just to force feed us that Finn and Poe aren't gay.
The fact that Osscar clearly states he would be just fine playing Finn's bf and their relationship isn t Canon really REALLY can piss a person off. You have to fulfill Oscar and John's wishes.
_Reylo or FinnPoe?_ Hmmm... the ship between the very abusive, agressive guy and the girl, who haven't exactly had positive chemistry given the ABUSIVE nature of Kylo Ren as a character plus at least one of the actors thought of the ship as problematic... or the ship between two people who have had natural, positive chemistry since the very beginning where the actors were immediatly on board with playing it out as a romance? Hard decision, really... super hard... Except not really.
I get that you think Reylo is problematic, which yeah it would be in an IRL setting, but these are space films...they're not exactly based in reality?? t's just an enemies to lovers thing. IDK, I enjoyed both of these ships but that's just my opinion.
There's a difference between being abusive and a warlord Kylo Ren is a warlord and him and Rey only got together at the very end, so their relationship wasn't abusive, they were fighting in each other as the leaders of the war Yes in a realistic setting, you would be right, but these are movies about wars in space, it just doesn't apply
The sad thing is...Zorri didn’t do anything for the plot, She did nothing and served no purpose at all other than to tell the audience Poe is straight. That’s what’s even more disrespectful for me. I’d have preferred it more if they’d literally have done nothing. Said nothing, not alluded to it at all. But what they did do was just so much worse. Especially as it was JJ Abraham’s...who was behind it as well? It’s just......so frustrating
I FEEL THE SAME. My family’s opinion was “I like that both Finn and Poe had possible female love interests but our expectations were subverted when they didn’t get together in the end. It was the writers saying that men and women don’t always get together.” And yes, I can see that point but this also just felt... homophobic. They knew a lot of people wanted to see them together, it just seemed too intentional to me. And you know what it just- IT JUST HURT OK
Alarainebraine None of your business and what’s even worse, if you read resistance reborn there are several moments between Poe and Finn that are just beautiful and bordering on romantic. The new Poe and zorri bliss novel is the only novel I’m gonna refuse to read because I have no interest in hearing their retroactively added love story between the two of them. It’s just stupid. Plus apparently it completely contradicts the age of resistance comic 🙄 Their quickly written shoehorned straight romance novel to brush any gay subtext under the carpet being one of the only pieces of expanded content to contradict canon - big shock 🙄
@poncho! THIS!! i'm so tired of seeing women used just as the obligatory heterosexual love interests and i'm tired of the chemistry between same-sex characters being ignored. Disney is a bunch of cowards.
So funny because a romantic relationship for them never crossed my mind till I saw Oscar go off. One thing is for sure, I definitely didn't like that they both got new female counterparts in TROS which I thought was completely unnecessary. I didn't see the point and didn't like the innuendo.
I swear this is so sad, like he mentioned the progression was so natural, if they had actually made a romance between the two it wouldn't have felt awkward or forced cause they literally had the best chemistry in the whole sequal trilogy. Rey and Kylo's kiss was more forced and awkward than anything would ever be with Finn and Poe, eventhough their "romance" was set up, the chemistry just didn't feel right.
I didn't realize Poe and Zorri were supposed to be a couple until the comments.... Seriously, they have no chemistry at all. Even if Finn didn't exist.
Yeah you can easily tell that these writers quickly wrote the cardboard cutout female characters of Zorri and Rose just to force the idea that Poe and Finn are heterosexual. It's so pathetic. If you are to afraid to explicitly state that characters are gay, then fine. Just leave it at the subtext and don't say anything at all. You don't have to shoehorn in girlfriends for them just to force feed us that they aren't gay.
I fucking love that they're normalizing male intimacy. Whether a gay romantic one (which clearly they were going for) or even straight platonic intimacy, guys need more love for each other
no absolutely not true that’s fake. the trilogy is very good and doesn’t destroy anybody’s characters and made everyone happy including me, i loved finn and poe’s first kiss in the second film and they’ve been developed ever since. did i also mention that i am not a liar
You can plainly see that he's not just being that actor who panders to the fans by agreeing with them about their preferred ship and saying nice things about it to please them. I think he's definitely and genuinely upset that what was clearly the one real and most obvious direction for those two characters, one that was more than possible at this point, was ignored in favor of what we got. Which, let's just admit, was less than stellar. He knows that what did not end up becoming a reality was the right reality we all needed, and yet we were deprived of it. This means a lot, for fans like me. Thank you, Oscar!
Finn and Poe were absolutely in love. It's so weird that Disney didn't just go with it when the actors were so ready and willing to explore that side of the characters.
I absolutely love how none of the creators have actually confirmed it but Oscar has taken it into his own hands to blatantly say “subtext romance with Finn a bit” and just the way he says things like they’re undoubtedly canon in his book
2 bros standing by an x-wing. Zero feet apart cause they are Fr though. I love the bromance between them. He gave him a name which was amazing. I love their friendship.
And Disney thought that less than 3 seconds of a lesbian kiss between two random characters would give them diversity points. No, that is not what what fans wanted, and it doesn't even compare. What fans wanted was a romantic relationship between two of the main characters who already had great chemistry and a healthy friendship. But Disney wouldn't do that.
Oscar over here pulling an Alexander Siddig. “My character is in love with this dude. The producers were too chicken to let it happen.” And I respect the hell out of that.
I'm currently writing a paper on gay representation (and a lack thereof) in Star Wars. Thank you for compiling these videos together! It's actually been very helpful for finding interviews from Oscar Isaac advocating for FinnPoe :')
"if they would have been boyfriends that would have been fun" It would have been so groundbreaking. Like Poe is meant to be the "macho" Han Solo-type character of the new ones and they already made so many great steps with his character (he's not misogynistic in anyway, his heroes are quite literally his mom and Leia, women), and he's just an overall great character who embodies masculinity without it being toxic. It would have been a great step to give him solid definition with Finn. But I think most of us headcanon him with Finn anyway, and at the very least, obviously bi/pan.
I hate to be the guy to point out the amount of dislikes in a video and have a spring up in the future but at the current time this only has seven dislikes. Go FinnPoe
In Disney movies it’s only been like a girl falling for 2 guys or a guy falling for two girls and it didn’t matter cause they would end up with the opposite gender which would not affect Disney since straight couple are like so much new and not deja vu. The first thing I thought when I saw Stormpilot first introduction was “Oh my- I hope they’re gonna end up together, they are made for each other” and I really was hoping that it would happen so much but it didn’t… We’ll Disney always is afraid to lose audience so they never really innovate… But they recently posted a Lumity video two girls dating on their channel and I really liked that so I’m really hoping that in the X, the XI or even the XII Finn and Poe end up together they can’t deny that they have something called “more than friendship” they can’t be “just friends” they really are made for each other… I really hope Disney could open their mind and even take more risks
I love how queer Star Wars ships have one of the actors/VA be a HUGE shipper of them. Oscar Isaac with FinnPoe/Stormpilot, Steve Blum with Kalluzeb, and Ivanna Sakhno with Wolfwren. (there are probably more I don't know of as well.)
As someone who has never seen any of the Star Wars movies, I always thought that all the shipping I saw of them two on the internet was just because it was two characters that spend alot of time onscreen together, because thats what fandoms do but If oscar supports it then I do too :)
i've been on a clone wars and codywan kick so it's been a bit since i've delved into the sequels and finnpoe, and damn i forgot how passionate oscar is about finnpoe. the man does not hesitate to call out disney, and i just absolutely adore him
the way i've never watched a star wars movie but i kept hearing about this, tbh not a lot of actors would say that like u can tell he really tried to make it happen, what a bummer to be an actor and to not get the best storyline for ur character just because the ones with power are too homophobic or just cowards
Oscar Isaac is THE CAPTAIN of the Finnpoe ship!! I actually just posted a video about Oscar Isaac and Finnpoe-- it'd mean a lot to me if you checked it out (no self promo, I just thought it'd be something you'd like)!
I have no clue why Disney thought audiences wouldn't be on board with it. Anyone who would've had a problem with gay characters had already signed off on Rey being a "mAaArY sUuEe". WHY DIDN'T IT HAPPEN FFS
You could ask oscar Isaac what he had for breakfast and he’d end up on a rant about how Finn and poe are in love
I can literally see that happen and I would be so invested in that conversation and I would also talk about it, bc we all felt that energy :')
And I'm here for it
me too
I don’t see the problem?

He said fun.
It might have actually contained something new.
It could have Been great

Exactly someone had to say it
Oscar Isaac really went to bat for the gays and I love him for it
Disney really said “let’s do Finn and rose! The two characters who have no connection whatsoever!”
At this point they're just trying to write compulsory cishet (TM) into both of their characters
Then Disney decided to ignore the interracial relationship and give Finn a potential black live interest in Jannah.

Basically being Disney trying to kill off any indication that they could be gay after they asked to be it. Casual indirect homoerasure imo.
Yeah like you I didn’t see the potential until TROS. Even so, I mainly saw it from Poe. But it’s still cute.

Poe is definitely at least bi, maybe pan.
And Finn is demisexual
1:09 ah, so that's why poe spent the entirety of the rise of Skywalker acting like Finn's jealous boyfriend. I was wondering who made that decision
i actually liked the concept of zorii’s character and it’s a shame that she wasn’t given a storyline other than a female love interest for poe
I AM STILL SO SALTY ABOUT THIS
StormPilot deadass “came out” of John and Oscar’s chemistry. Talk about a Freudian slip
so you're telling me finn isnt the main lead and poe isnt his love interest
no absolutely not true that’s fake. the trilogy is very good and doesn’t destroy anybody’s characters and made everyone happy including me, i loved finn and poe’s first kiss in the second film and they’ve been developed ever since. did i also mention that i am not a liar
Making Poe and Finn fall in love would've fixed a lot of problems in The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker.
The fact that John also ships these two characters as much as Oscar does.... (Internal screaming commence)

It would have been so groundbreaking. Like Poe is meant to be the "macho" Han Solo-type character of the new ones and they already made so many great steps with his character (he's not misogynistic in anyway, his heroes are quite literally his mom and Leia, women), and he's just an overall great character who embodies masculinity without it being toxic.

Oscar Isaac is THE CAPTAIN of the Finnpoe ship!! I actually just posted a video about Oscar Isaac and Finnpoe-- it'd mean a lot to me if you checked it out (no self promo, I just thought it'd be something you'd like)!

I know,its late,but i must say it. Damm youre beautiful.
“Go off Oscar “ had me😂😂😂
I literally got scared by Oscars beard in the second clip
They shoulda been boyfriends 🤣🤣🤣.
he really just wanted to kiss finn and they wouldnt let him :D
y e s
i ship it
He sounds so sad knowing they didn't end up being together and now I'm sad
i love this man
FinnPoe: *breathes*
Disney: "I sleep."
Two unknown, background Rebel Gays at the end of Episode 9: *gets their kisses*
Disney: *_"Real shit."_*
Zorii’s only purpose in rise of Skywalker was to shut down the Poe and Finn romance
OSCAR ISAAC
Finn and Poe was so much wasted potential. They should have ended together
StormPilot is canon and I will accept nothing less
“Deep, deep...”
I wanna know about the original video link of 2:36 🥺 Does anyone know about this?
What could have been 😭
I have no clue why Disney thought audiences wouldn't be on board with it. Anyone who would've had a problem with gay characters had already signed off on Rey being a "mAaArY sUuEe". WHY DIDN'T IT HAPPEN FFS
Most likely bc of the Chinese market tbh
Is "Raylo or Finnpoe" even a question?
After tros I kinda ship repoe, or should I be lit on fire
like, they didn't even end up doing rey and finn. There was no reason not to do finnpoe besides cowardice.
