Having an actor like Momoa behave in a “feminine” conduct to make the audience laugh (to be loyal, I laughed, too) was a deliberate creative option. However, at the alike time, there wasn’t a single moment where Dante wasn’t presented as an actual threat to Dom Torretto (Vin Diesel) and his ever-expanding fam

It's been an ~interesting~ journey for queer people in the movie and television industry. Once upon a time, gay and woman loving woman actors, specifically, had to stay in the closet, and there were next-to-no gay parts on screen.
