I've yet to see this huge fallout about Civil War shipping. It seems like everyone is still shipping what they shipped before.

I expect the same will be said of XM:A. Most shippers ignore canon already. So a new canon het romance (or two), doesn't change their fandom routines.

[kallanda_lee]

There's been Sharon hate - but to be fair the romance was portrayed awkward as hell.

[(Anonymous)]

Chris Evans and that actress who played Sharon have no chemistry. And the kiss was forced into the plot anyway so that was just odd. I'm not a Cap/Bucky shipper but that would make more sense than Cap/Sharon in the MCU.

I'd say I want a Cap/Widow romance but the ship I DID get from Civil War is Panther/Widow. Those two would be a lovely pairing and would be a good foil for when the Hulk comes back from the Thor movie.

[(Anonymous)]

It was almost worth it for Bucky and Sam in the Beetle, though. Their "Yeah, get it!" looks were funny.

[(Anonymous)]

I wish there wasn't any romance shoehorned into it, period. One of the things that made The Winter Soldier so great was that there was no hamfisted obligatory romance thrown in.

[(Anonymous)]

Seriously? Did you completely miss the great Stucky vs Staron battle that is still ongoing? Just search Staron on twitter or tumblr and look how offended people are by hetero Steve. Or what about the trending tag about giving Steve a boyfriend or the drama about making him a nazi before making him gay.

It's probably the worst shipping discourse I've ever seen in MCU fandom.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh don't forget the Steggy faction that feel disgusted that Steve ended with her niece and kissed her fresh off Peggy's funeral.

[(Anonymous)]

That's not really a Steggy thing. I've seen the same criticism levied even by non-shippers, as well as (the more expected) Stony and Stucky shippers. I think some people just find it super weird to hook up with your ex-girlfriend's niece, with the whole funeral situation being the cherry on the top of that weirdness sundae.

[illiadandoddity]

Dude, I think that's basically universal with everyone who's not a Steve/Sharon fan (and even some of them didn't like it, too). It just comes across so forced - "Oh, Peggy's dead? That's so sad, here's your replacement girlfriend, Steve!"

[kaijinscendre]

The boyfriend thing lasted all of a day. The Nazi thing doesn't have anything to do with shipping and as far as I can tell lasted about as long as the boyfriend twitter thing.

Stucky vs Staron consists of a group of like 10 people fighting with each other.

Those are infinitesimal levels of shipping wars compared to the Tony/Loki vs Tony/Thor debate that was popular for a couple months.

And anything in the MCU is a slap fight compared to what the 'ship wars' you see in fandoms like Supernatural, Sherlock, Star Trek, etc. have.

[(Anonymous)]

Wait, there are ship wars in Sherlock?

I guess I kinda assumed that 100% of everybody shipped Johnlock. (I've scrupulously avoided the fandom for the past few years, though.)

[(Anonymous)]

It definitely seemed like more to me. Before the recent news flooded it with Nazi Cap complaints, the main stucky tag had a lot of posts about the het romance in CW. I wouldn't call all of it hateful (although some definitely was), but the noise was palpable.

[(Anonymous)]

Tony/Loki vs Tony/Thor

Was this seriously a thing? I'm in fandom and I've never seen a ship war between these two. Just a bunch of Loki wankers who happen to be Tony/Loki shippers going on and on about how Thor is the worst brother ever, abusive, evil, etc. But that's less to do with shipping than a small faction of Loki fans being cuckoo pants.

Aaaaand...now I'm kinda sad I missed this. *g*

[(Anonymous)]

Omg there were apparently little kids crying over the Cap is Hydra thing.

What a clusterfuck that is.

[(Anonymous)]

THPOILERTH!

Spoiler?

[kallanda_lee]

I dunno, I'd expect much more hate about the fact he actually mind-wiped her without consent than about her having boobs, in this case.

Re: Spoiler?

[(Anonymous)]

You'd think they'd have gotten this out of their system by now now, First Class came out so long ago.

Re: Spoiler?

[litalex]

Yeah, I think Prof X is totally on the wrong about this, too.

[nightscale]

Im still undecided on if I enjoyed it overall, there were definitely bits I liked but idk, there definitely wasn't enough Storm for me though although Nightcrawler was such a cutie. Also the horsemen went out how I expected so that was boringly predictable.

And I didn't care for the romance but I'm not enraged about it. Erik's family were also nice, just a shame they even bothered with them since they only existed to die, his daughter was sweet. :|

[(Anonymous)]

I really enjoyed the movie when the younger X-Men were being featured. I like the new actors and their interactions give me fond memories of the old cartoon.

Erik's family, I have to be honest, came off sort of cheesy. Yeah I know they were just there to die, but did Singer think we wouldn't be sad unless he also portrayed them as a literal woodland fairytale dream come true? His daughter talked to animals like a friggin' Disney princess.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, yeah, because she could apparently talk to birds as her superpower.

[otakugal15]

I loved that movie. Now if only we STILL get the Logan/Rogue meeting...

[ibbity]

I'm not a fan of Steve/Sharon because I think it's weird for Steve to be involved with his dead former girlfriend's niece, like some kind of inheritance passed down from aunty Peggy or something. But I'm not especially bothered that he would be involved with a woman again, despite the fact that I do ship him with Bucky, because he is canonically attracted to women. There's nothing in movie canon afaik to indicate that he isn't able to be attracted to men as well, but canonically he is not gay. Bi maybe (this is my personal headcanon, but I'm not making assumptions about actual movie canon because it's not confirmed), but I don't think it's offensive or anything like that that he isn't being explicitly paired up with Bucky or Steve or any other male character and I think people who would find it offensive are a bit strange.
