Shipping In the Marvel Universe

I just saw the new Avengers movie, and it was AMAZING!

If you had not already planned to see it,  then you should. Worth it! I'm definitely going again.

However, this is not a movie review. Like a good fangirl, I want to talk about the new shipping opportunities presented. As a result, there are SPOILERS ahead. If you read more, it is your choice. But I had to get this off my chest.

There are a bunch of canon pairings in Marvel. Pepper and Tony for example. They are wonderful. Pepper didn't appear, and I was sad. But she was still present in Tony' s mind, which was good. Thor and Jane are another. Jane was another no show, and I was so sad. Erik Selvig did appear which was nice. But there was a moment of Thor and Tony bragging about their girlfriends,  and it was so cute! I really want Jane to be in an Avengers movie, all the same. But she is doing high-powered research so I'm glad for that. Yay science!

There are also ships. The big one for me is Clintasha.  Clint and Natasha was great, being spies together and growing close. But this movie changed so much of that,  and I don't know how I feel about it.  Mostly happy I think. Finding out that Clint actually had a wife and kids the whole time, and Natasha knew all along,  was sweet. They got to bond together, and I liked that a lot. But the bigger thing was at the beginning of the movie when Natasha was reaching out to Bruce when he was the Hulk. He responded to her better. And then she was reaching out more, and flirting with him. I was so torn! Once I saw that Clint had a wife, though,  I felt better. Then I was ok with them being together. I had not thought that they could work it out at first, but now I can see it better. I still like Clintasha, but seeing someone with Bruce makes me SOOOO happy! I really want to see him with someone despite the other guy. And she helps. It's nice Clint having a wife was convenient for the plot, yes, but it is still nice to see him satisfied and able to lead a somewhat normal life and talk about fixing up his home for his kids. But the most important part is the whole Bruce and Natasha pairing. I have to explore this much more, and am excited to see if some fanfic comes of it, unless there is some already that I need to locate.  Any suggestions are appreciated. The feels! The ending made me sad for that reason. Gah! Why did he go like that? I hope they explore that more in upcoming movies. I really do want  Bruce to end up with someone. I don't know anything about the comics, so I have no idea how it all goes down. One of these days I will probably wikipedia it, but I do like this ship.

As for writing fanfic, it is one fandom I have wanted to break into for some time. I multi-ship in the Thor fandom hardcore. I like Thor and Jane, but I also like Lokane. And Tasertricks is entertaining and fun too. I may yet do some fanfic for one/all of those pairings.  My muse needs plot bunnies and an excuse to write it, though, as I already have three fandoms that I am writing for. Strange Magic is my newest one,  and I love it so much! But getting back to the topic here,  Marvel. Another possibility now if I write fanfic would be Bruce and Natasha. But I need to find fanart and fanfic to feed it first. The other pairs I have seen enough to get by.

So that is me. My pneumonia is gone other than a slight cough, and I'm feeling much healthier. Have energy. Feeling alive and have much feels from that movie. And ready to read fanfic  I hope those of you in school are all ready for the end of school, and if you are graduating,  congrats! If at work,  then yay! You have a job and make money,  which is awesome always.  Summer is coming, and with it, plans to see and do many things. I hope you all are well and have a great rest of your week, as well as weekend!
