8. Gandalf the Gay

Geek-culture movies are getting pretty crazy in terms of casting. We've had too many Spidermans to count, and the fact that the Human Torch and Captain America are the same person is pretty disturbing. And that's just one of the Human Torches. The other Human Torch is also the villain in Black Panther, so as you can see, it gets wild. Still, nothing beats the fact that Ian McKellan has played both Magneto and Gandalf. That's like playing God and Jesus.

You may be familiar with the gay pride shirts that say "Some People Are Gay. Get Over it." It's a great shirt and a great sentiment, plus who doesn't love a good impact font? The OG, Ian McKellan, put his own spin on the shirt, making it so that no one else could possibly pull it off. If I ever see that shirt at a Goodwill though, you know I'm getting it.
