It appears that the movie was marketed towards a younger audience and those identifying as part of the LGBTQ+ community, or so it was intended. Notably, popular figures like Kit Connor, Charles Melton, Joseph Quinn, and Will Poulter were prominently featured, and the promotional material emphasized their physical allure. However, the belief that queer viewers would be instantly attracted simply because of a kiss, some tattoos, and flirtatious images was off base. This film, after all, focuses on the Iraq War, not just its visual aesthetics.
