You have to find the right photographer for you, decide which venue suits you best, whether to serve beef or chicken, and the list can go on and on! They would die to save one another.įeature Image Rights: David Roark/Disneyland Resort Thanks for visiting MarvelBlog.Trying to figure our which wedding package is best for you? In today’s wedding world, there are so many choices to make. These two would do anything for one another, something Romanoff ultimately demonstrates to acquire the Soul Stone.Įven compared to the rest of the MCU, their friendship is unique and powerful. Still, they’ve provided a human component to the otherwise untouchable Avengers.Īlong the way, we’ve learned that Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton are the rarest of rare onscreen duo: platonic friends of opposite sexes.
Neither character has ever starred in a movie of their own (that’ll change in November). This moment means so much more because we’ve watched the relationship between Black Widow and Hawkeye for so long now. One must pay the ultimate sacrifice, and because they love each other so much, the choice feels impossible.Ī superhero eventually makes the call for the other thanks to a bit of Deus ex machina. The most devastating choice occurs earlier when best friends and comrades-in-arms must decide who lives and who dies.
To wit, the most traumatic moment in Avengers: Endgame doesn’t happen in the aftermath of Iron Man’s snap. One of the unwritten rules of the MCU is that scenes must have stakes, and the way that Marvel achieves them is by placing heroes in impossible situations. Other times, he’s painfully aware that Loki’s a jerk.įamily’s complex and nuanced, and the scenes between these two characters have aptly demonstrated that thin line between love and hate. Meanwhile, Thor sometimes remembers all the best parts of his childhood with his smaller brother. The bad brother vacillates between adoration for his brother and pure jealousy. With Thor and Loki, the MCU has demonstrated this quirk of family. In a moment’s notice, you may switch from love and admiration to aggravation and resentment. The thing about having a brother – and I speak from experience here – is that you can love them and hate them in the same breath. He says good-bye to his loving wife, Pepper, his old friend, Rhodey, and his surrogate son, Peter. When Iron Man collapses during the aftermath of his snap, he only speaks to three people. Parker’s desperation to impress Stark comes across as innocent yet earnest, a stan getting to hang out with his hero. When the MCU introduced Peter Parker, Tony Stark deduced his identity immediately.įrom that point forward, Iron Man decided that Spider-Man represented the future of The Avengers. Most superhero origin stories involve the suddenly superpowered hero figuring things out on his own or possibly with the help of a few close friends. I could list a couple of other instances (maybe even Thanos/Gamora), but you get the point. There’s criminal, middle-aged Ant-Man and lawful, old Ant-Man, and then there’s Tony Stark giving some of his tech toys to that kid in Iron Man 3. When Steve Rogers goes on the run in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the only person he can trust is Sam Wilson. “On your left” defines their relationship, as they’re always there for one another. The other is a heroic military veteran helping others with PTSD.įrom the moment they meet, they’re kindred spirits, soldiers willing to sacrifice anything to make the world a better place. One is a relic from a bygone era, albeit a superpowered one. These words define the relationship between the former and future Captain Americas.
I just don’t like it as much as… 5) Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson I love everything about their relationship. Rogers and Barnes are also the only two people who can have a meaningful conversation about being teenagers during World War II. The two are childhood friends, and their relationship means so much to Rogers that he accidentally starts a Civil War while protecting his friend. Rogers is friends with Bucky Barnes because the latter gentleman treated him kindly before he’d taken the Super Soldier Serum. I’ve listed two here and could have included Tony Stark and Nick Fury, also.Ĭhoosing the closest friendship for Rogers is easy, but it’s also not the most meaningful one, at least symbolically. However, some of his friendships stand out. 6) Steve Rogers and Bucky BarnesĬaptain America shares special relationships with several people in the MCU, which makes sense since he’s the leader of The Avengers. While better than DC, Marvel hasn’t done the greatest job of creating female relationships that pass the Bechdel test.
