Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

That's pretty much my experience as well. Maybe they could capitalize on that and make Peter and Miles play the two respective types of rejects?

The Avengers was going to have one with Cap and a civilian, but it was cut. Does that count?
Pretty sure I picked up on a little something between Star Lord/Gamora and Steve/Sharon Carter...

I've got fanfics for Frozen, Spectacular Spider-Man, Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro the Dragon.Speaking of Cap, The Winter Soldier did not have much of a romantic subplot either.
Will you stop posting and editing while I'm typing!
There may have been some romantic (or UST) vibes in those movies, but it was not enough to be called a subplot. You could have removed it without any impact on the story.

Whatever your favourite work is, there is a Vocal Minority that considers it the Worst. Whatever. Ever!.
It was still there, though. Cap wanted a girlfriend, but he was too busy, and there were a couple scenes of him with Sharon Carter to hint at something between them in the future. There was mercifully a lot less romance than most of the other movies, though.

I was under the impression that it was less Cap wanting a girlfriend and more Black Widow playing matchmaker. Cap seems pretty much Married to the Job in the Winter Soldier (also, I'm not quite sure how much time passed since he was thawed, but it may be possible that he's still getting over Peggy).

Whatever your favourite work is, there is a Vocal Minority that considers it the Worst. Whatever. Ever!.I wonder, how well known was Steve relationship with Peggy ? Because that may have been a bit strange from SHIELD to affect an agent to someone who had a crush on her aunt - and Shannon's flirting with Cap becomes really weird if she was aware of it.
Whatever your favourite work is, there is a Vocal Minority that considers it the Worst. Whatever. Ever!.Yeah....the idea of Cap dating his long lost love's...substantially much younger niece is weird, especially in the MCU, when present day, Peggy is most likely in her 90s.
EDIT: I mean, how the hell would MCU Sharon being Peggy's niece work out anyway? Sharon's like, much younger than you'd expect Peggy Carter's niece to be.

Sharon Carter had the disadvantage of being a character in the unchanging abyss of comic book modern day that has a definite link to a specific point in the past. Some day, even niece will be pushing it too much and then they'll have to retcon again. Thankfully the MCU wouldn't have that problem as it is forced to accept time's passing but it's still interesting.
x4 Way less for me as well (though given how many fanfics like to ship related characters I sometimes wonder who exactly does that).
Besides, Shannon should indeed be closer in age to Peggy's great-niece with the MCU timeline, unless the Carters had a very strange family tree.
