@Lankyant and Onegreatjoke: The Forbes source for this claim wasn't reliable, I've removed it – and I don't really trust The Beijinger for a claim like this. Can a better source be found? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 17:54, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

@Theleekycauldron and Onegreatjoke: I cannot find a source that doesn't rely on The Beijinger and so I have changed the hook to focus on the gay kiss between Michael Fassbenders characters instead and have sourced it. THanks Lankyant (talk) 19:07, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

I would recommend not overwriting the original hook, and instead adding it as an ALT1, like so :) Onegreatjoke, do you approve of the new hook? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 19:09, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Apologies, thanks :D Lankyant (talk) 19:15, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

@Lankyant:@Theleekycauldron: I approve the new alt hook. Onegreatjoke (talk) 19:25, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
