Elemental gay couple

In the show, aspiring actor Cary Dubek (played by Drew Tarver) gets his big break voicing Disney’s “first unapologetically gay character,” a literal lump of goo named Globby. Unsurprisingly, when the news of Elemental ’s inclusion of nonbinary water broke, Twitter didn’t hesitate to compare the two. Elemental has two LGBTQ+ characters, but they are very, very minor characters. When Ember and Wade start to fall in love, Wade invites her to meet his family, which is quite an experience given that their apartment is flowing with water everywhere.

However, these opposites can't help their attraction, with Elemental 's ending depicting them following their hearts on a cute, romantic journey. Interestingly, the visually-stunning Elemental is touting itself in terms of diversity regarding Pixar's first non-binary character.

Some social media users have mocked another, Lake, for being nonbinary. Pixar's Peter Sohn dreamed up the fire-meets-water love story of 'Elemental' (in theaters June 16) after an emotional day with his immigrant parents. Element City: Families come here to build new lives, raise their children, fulfill their wildest dreams.

Pretty soon, Wade shows Ember all that Element City has to offer. And she realizes that despite prejudices held by even her own parents, there just might be a way for elements to mix. Ember is incredibly loyal to her family and her community. And she considers it an honor to sacrifice her own desires for the needs of her family.

Unfortunately, this loyalty makes Ember feel guilty when she begins to fall for Wade. However, as the film progresses, Wade helps Ember to embrace the idea that she should be honest with her parents instead of suffering in silence. And while they would love for her to stay with them and run the shop, what they really want is for Ember to be happy.

Wade and his family just might be the most sympathetic people ever. They constantly shed tears of sorrow and joy for the misfortunes and jubilations of others. Wade uses his empathic abilities to rally an entire stadium of angry sports fans into cheering for a slumping player whose mother is sick. That said, Wade still struggles to understand why Ember feels guilty pursuing her own dreams.

We also see Bernie and Cinder struggle to find housing, with folks slamming doors in their faces without even speaking to them. Throughout the early part of the film, especially, we see how racial prejudice is at work against the Fire people. For instance, someone assumes Ember grew up speaking the Fire language and inadvertently insults her when he says how well she speaks the common tongue not realizing she grew up speaking it just like him.

The racism that Ember and her family experience is a hard thing for them. But the film itself obviously strives to spotlight how poorly immigrants are sometimes treated and the prejudice they must overcome, which is a redemptive theme. She also appears to be able to smell love on a person. Several couples smooch. Several Water people are accidentally boiled by the heat of a Fire person.

A few Earth people have their leaves burned off by fire, as well. Many Fire people are injured when water hits their various limbs. Though a few chomps of a fire stick restore their flames. The entire Fire community flees a flash flood, though it appears none are permanently harmed. A storm causes significant damage to an island community. An elderly Fire woman passes away in a poof of smoke.

People talk about a butterfly getting crushed by a windshield wiper. Ember causes substantial property damage in a few scenes when she literally explodes after losing her temper. An Earth boy who grows flowers from his armpits often picks these blooms to his own pain to gift to girls.

A boy hits his uncle with a bat. As noted above, racism in the context of immigration is a big theme here, and we definitely see various characters treated poorly because of their race. Sometimes, they hurl element-based insults at each other. And those prejudices go both directions, too.
