Darcy/anyone who isn't from the Thor movies, and actually I don't get Darcy/Loki either.

This one has been said a million times before but Clint/Coulson. Like I can sort of see how it could be an interesting idea but I do not get it's sheer popularity. It's weird.

Aragorn/Legolas, have to admit I really don't get it, and I can usually find a reason for most ships even if I don't personally ship them.

Darcy/anyone who isn't from the Thor movies

IA so much. I don't have anything against people shipping it, I just really, really don't get it. It baffles me when I go looking for Cap fic and Darcy is shipped with everyone.

There's been a really large amount of Darcy/Bucky/Steve fic recently hasn't there? And I'll be petty and say I don't like it, I don't do threesomes but if I'm going to choose in that side of things it's going to be Bucky/Peggy/Steve.

But yeah people can ship what they like, I just find the sheer amount of Darcy/MCU character a bit odd.

There has, there has... I want to say I don't like it, but honestly I haven't even given it a chance and won't. I don't read many threesomes either and when I do it's just porn, not an OT3 (unless, well, like I mentioned in another thread, I liked Ragnar/Athelstan/Lagertha season one of Vikings), but I don't care about Darcy enough to include her in that... The actress is gorgeous, the character is fun, but...still. If I was going to read a threesome in the MCU is would be some variation of Sif and the warriors three. (Or, hell, okay, I'd read Thor + Sif and the warriors three because yes.)

Ha yeah I'm the same with threesomes, it's pretty much only for porn purposes but I do have a few OT3's that really work for me.(I know nothing of Vikings but from what I've seen of your posts on tumblr Ragnar/Athelstan/Lagertha is totes canon).

Oh yeah Kat Dennings is stunning and I like canon!Darcy fine, her fanon counterpart... eehhhh. Yes. Sif+warriors Three, yes I can very much get behind that(tbh my MCU OT3 that I actually legit ship is Thor/Jane/Loki, and that's because of TDW and it giving me all sorts of headcanon things I can do with them).

adding to what was said by anon above, aragorn and legolas were much closer in the movies, particularly in the two towers. that sassy "le abdollen" moment when legolas returns arwen's evenstar to aragorn was hot as hell.

I have NO idea why but I read Darcy as Draco and got really confused.

Haha, imaging Draco in the Thor films is pretty amusing.

Oh, I totally get Aragorn/Legolas. For one, they're both total badasses, so they can find mutual badassery together. For two, they're almost unbearably hot. For three, they're physical opposites - dark and light - which is aesthetically pleasing. And four, we all know Aragorn is into elves.

Hmmmm, okay I can understand it a bit more now. Thank you. :)

Clint/Coulson!

The most obvious reason it became a thing is the fact that people wanted to ship a slash pairing in Thor that wasn't incest. Slim pickings. Plus there is the potential for a dynamic fandom likes, which is snarky badass + rule abiding badass (see also: Steve/Tony, whether or not the characterization works).

Under that rational, a bunch of prompts started happening on the kink meme. Some of these prompts resulting in really, really good fic. I ship almost everything in the MCU (or read ship fic of it, anyway) and the best fics in that fandom are almost all Clint/Coulson, imo, and it sort of got the ball rolling.

Another contributor to the popularity of the pairing, though, is the sheer WTF-ness of it. People go through a cycle where they don't understand where it comes from, they try some of the (really good, like I said) fic, and then suddenly there's potential. Most of the C/C fans I know came to the pairing that way.

Oh, and it didn't, at the time, break up any canon relationships in the MCU. Some people have problems with that.

Ahaaa, yeah I can totally get the WTF-ness drawing people in, I've ended up with ships like that before now.

But with these points explained I get more where it comes from. Thank you. :)

You're welcome! :)
