Malaysia: Banned by the film censor in
August 2022 Disney likes to add a little preachy moralising about gay positivity and this film is not an exception with a couple of minor script references. Korg (Taika Waititi) mentioned his two dads and briefly ending up with another
male Krogan. The other reference was the female character, Valkyrie, taking an interest in a concubine of Zeus. Malaysia's Deputy Communications and Multimedia Minister Zahidi Zainul Abidin spotted the gay references and said that he would continue
to look out for LGBT content that would continue to censored in future. The film censor did propose that cuts could be made to secure a release but Disney declined and the film was formally banned.
