Fan ships are the bread and butter of a fandom – they keep you sustained and satisfied,
and can be oh so delicious.
As is the case with many of the Avengers Fan Ships from the MCU that have popped up online
in recent years – some are guilty pleasures, while others are a cry for more representation,
and some just further explore, relish and embellish upon the platonic relationships
between Marvel characters we absolutely adore.
In case you didn’t see our part one of this video, here’s what you missed – Iron Husbands
and Don Cheedle, Coulki, Hawkson, Scarlet America, Science Boyfriends, Clintasha, Steggy,
Stony, Scarlet Widow and this great meme, and STUCKY.
SO MUCH STUCKY.
Now that you’re all caught up, this time around, we talk about some of the very important
fan ships that we didn’t get to in our first video, along with some heavily requested ones
you guys suggested in the comments.
Speaking of, stick around to the end of the video – we’ll be responding to some of
the comments you guys left on part one.
Alright, let’s get to it – the top 10 Avengers Fan Ships part 2!
Also, Infinity War spoilers, heads up pals.
10 Romanogers Back in Captain America Winter Soldier, the
het ship between Natasha Romanoff and Steve Rogers got some fuel for its fire – Cap
and Black Widow made a great team, working together to unravel the mystery behind SHEILD
being compromised.
Not only did they have some stellar banter, but they also shared a kiss, prompted by Natasha
as a way for them to become invisible while STRIKE hunted them down in a shopping mall.
Oh the chemistry!
Despite the Natasha Bruce Banner flirtation, fans of Romanogers still have high hopes – by
the end of Age of Ultron, the two begin training the new Avengers recruits together, and in
Civil War, despite being on opposite sides of the Sokovia Accords, Natasha is still there
for Steve when Peggy Carter dies, and then in Infinity War, the two are working together
again, and save Vision & Wanda from Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive.
What have they been up to between Civil War and Infinity War?
Playing tonsil hockey perhaps?
Sorry, let’s move on.
9 Domestic Avengers Moving on to a more adorable – and platonic
– ship, the Domestic Avengers is a family ship, which, to be frank, isn’t all that
different from what we were seeing from the members of the Avengers back in Age of Ultron.
The ship itself started up after the first Avengers film, and many fans had theorized
that Stark Tower would become the Avengers Tower, and that became a pretty big basis
for a lot of fanfics, not only just for Domestic Avengers but other ships, too.
Ever since the Sokovia Accords and Civil War, we haven’t really gotten to see the Domestic
Avengers in full swing – cause let’s be honest, fighting Thanos ain’t really family
bonding time.
But the likelihood of us getting more Domestic Avengers moments is pretty good, even if it’s
with a few members missing from the team.
But hopefully not.
Whho knows what Avengers 4 will involve!
8 Capsicoul Remember how jazzed Phil Coulson was when
he met Steve Rogers for the first time?
Phil is most definitely a Captain America fan boy, and that affection for the star spangled
hero is primarily what fuels the Steve Rogers and Phil Coulson ship amongst fans.
While these days, Steve thinks Phil is dead, fans of this ship are hoping that Phil will
make his glorious return to the initial Avengers team, and that Steve will be all wide eyed
and run into his arms and EVERYTHING WILL BE GREAT.
7 FrostIron FrostIron has some of the most devoted shippers
out there.
Have you seen the beautiful fan art people have made of them?
Some impressive stuff.
Loki and Tony Stark don’t have a whole lot of romantic chemistry in the films, but they
do have that great scene in the first Avengers film where the two banter back and forth about
Loki’s plan, and Stark even offers him a drink.
That was enough to get some fans blood boiling, and while there isn’t a ton to run with
from the films, the fanfic alone is INTENSE.
What’s not to love?
Loki’s sexuality in the comics is fluid, and Stark isn’t one to shy away from something
new, so who knows.
6 T’Chalken The cat and the bird.
I see the appeal.
T’Chalken is exactly that – a fan ship that sprouted from a line that Sam Wilson
says to T’Challa upon meeting him.
That line is then followed by “what?
Dude shows up dressed like a cat and you don’t want to know more?”
I THINK WE KNOW WHO WANTS TO KNOW MORE MISTER WILSON, I THINK WE DO.
While some fans have chosen to pair T’Challa with Bucky Barnes because of all of their
Civil War drama, others prefer this Civil War spawned couple instead.
One user on tumblr named samallcapswilson even posted this hilarious breakdown of how
their relationship would spark up – “t’chucky aside for just a minute, think about T’chall
trying to woo sam away from Steve.
T’chall redesigning Sam’s wings making them faster, lighter, indestructible…
running laps around Steve when Sam invites him on their morning runs… offering Sam
some advanced combat training that’s really an excuse to get down and dirty and sweaty
(fully body drops where he ends straddled on top of Sam)… making Sam Wakanda delicacies
and feeding them to him, by hand…
Yeah, I get the allure.
5 Black Pepper Black Pepper is the coupling of Pepper Potts
and Black Widow.
As you can guess, this femslash started up after Natasha’s first appearance in Iron
Man 2, when she was masquerading as Pepper’s assistant and had this glorious introduction
scene.
While that alone spawned the Tony/Natasha ship, others were more compelled by her and
Pepper’s relationship – the dynamic duo that GOT S*** DONE AT STARK INDUSTRIES.
Imagine how much Natasha despised keeping up the rouse because of Tony, but imagine
HOW GREAT it would’ve been working for Pepper.
4 Winter Widow Speaking of Natasha, she’s got yet another
ship on this list, this time between her and the Winter Solider Bucky Barnes.
While the two haven’t depicted a whole lot of chemistry in the films together – minus,
you know, having a history of trying to kill each other – in the comics, Black Widow
and Bucky – after he’s become Captain America – have a pretty hot and heavy relationship
with one another.
No doubt that this has led many a fan of the comics to want this coupling to happen up
on the big screen.
And why wouldn’t they?
As far as romances go, in the comics, these two have given us many a steamy moment, just
by talking to one another.
Yeah.
3 Peter Parker and Shuri The internet recently had a freak out after
Avengers Infinity War was released concerning to characters who never crossed paths in the
film – but would be THE BEST PAIRING EVER, romantic OR platonic.
We’re talking Peter Parker and Shuri, the latest most popular OTP.
Shuri, the sister of Black Panther, is the smartest individual on Earth in the MCU.
Peter, while still learning, has got some serious brains himself.
Both are considered to be characters who bring lots of positivity and light hearted ness
to the MCU, and both are serious of kicking some serious butt all while being the Gen-Z
dream team we didn’t know we needed.
While the two have yet to meet, the internet is running wild with the possibilities of
what would happen if these two crossed paths – they’d not only be the best of friends,
but oh my, they’d be the cutest couple.
As one user named underoosie posted, “marvel studios could make a film of only shuri and
peter watching vines on a couch and peter crying because it won’t come back and then
shuri buying it so they can binge watch every iconic vine on existence for 2 and a half
hours and honestly?
I would watch the hell out of that film five times on the same day for a week straight.
Yeah, us too.
Also, ship name suggestions anyone?
I’ve seen Science Buddies floating around – kind of like the new and improved Science
Bros, but I feel like we could get more creative than that.
2 Thorki Thorki is the shipping of Thor and Loki.
It’s totally fine because they’re not actually brothers, you guys.
Loki has always been Thor’s main antagonist – it’s how he was introduced in the comics,
and for the first phase of the MCU, that was his role, too.
But after their work together in Thor The Dark World – yes, the MCU film we all wish
was a whole lot better – the brothers became pretty good teammates, and this carried through
into Thor Ragnarok.
And then when Loki is killed by Thanos at the beginning of Infinity War OH GOD THE PAIN
THAT RIFFLES THROUGH THOR IS ALMOST TOO MUCH.
Their relationship has grown so much over the last almost decade, and if the fan art
and fanfic is any indicator, shippers hope that we’ll see this bromance transform into
a romance.
1 IronStrange aka Awesome Facial Hair Husbands Another very recent ship to set sail in the
hearts of MCU fans is the pairing of Doctor Strange & Iron Man known as IronStrange.
Dear god, how perfect are they?
While it may look like a blossoming bromance to some, others see it as a blossoming romance
between two very different yet very similar powerful intellectuals.
Prior to Avengers Infinity War, fans were really hyped about how Stephen Strange and
Tony Stark would interact with one another.
Fans of the comics are no stranger to the duos banter in the panels, and it more than
translated onto the screen, with the two characters annoyed with one another at first, but then
working together, along with members of the Guardians and Spider-Man, to execute an almost
perfect plan against Thanos on Titan.
It fails, cause of Star Lord, but we did get to see Doctor Strange save Stark’s life,
which was likely concerning a very important plot point for the next Avengers film, but
still gave fans of the ship some necessary fuel for their IronStrange fires.
There we have it friends!
Now it’s time to read out some of your comments from our Avengers Fan Ships part one video!
Starting us off with a comment from keira, “I’m a simple girl, I see stony, I click.”
Preach, girl, preach.
Next up, a comments from koro sensei, “I ship myself with Dr Strange” Who doesn’t?
Except maybe those weirdos who think Benedict Cumberbatch looks like a foot, but clearly,
they’re wrong.
From CalmDownKitten – “Stucky all the way!
Actually, as a gay guy myself, I would love to see any LGBT representation at all in the
MCU…..but mostly stucky.”
We hear you there!
While the MCU is starting to incorporate it a bit – specifically with Valkyrie who debuted
in Thor Ragnarok, it would be cool to see more representation in general from such a
massive franchise.
Cause, you know, not only straight people can be heroes.
In complete contrast to that, we’ve got a comment from Jere Hartikainen “WTH I just
see that’s freaking disturbing, its not MGU (marvel gay universe)… btw Scarlet Widow
aint so bad because 2 womans.”
ISo, uh, how does that logic work, then?
Hmm?
From Ameloa Focker: “How did I, a huge lesbian who is always thirsty for femslash ships,
never even consider wanda and Natasha as a couple im a failure to myself” first off,
you’re not a failure, second, you’re totally welcome.
From Rabbit Man, in all caps, “THIS LADY IS A NOOB CAPTAIN MARVEL IS GOING TO REVIVE
LOKI NOOB” Oh, please do tell us more about your theory, this noob is ever so curious
how that’ll go down.
From jerkin2200, “When she said Don Cheadle is super adorable I literally cringed.
Girl you know DAMN WELL!!”
I don’t really have a response to that, I just thought it was hilarious.
From Haley Hamilton, “I PUNCHED THE WALL WHEN SHE SAID STUCKY WAS NUMBER ONE” Out
of frustration or pure unbridled joy?
I’m hoping the latter.
And also, hope you’re hands doing alright.
From What The, “Do you ever fall asleep for like two seconds then wake up to find
out you’re half way through a video about Marvel ships?
Cause let me TELL YOU-“ Like, everyday man.
It’s kind of becoming a problem, really.
Nightcore Subliminals says “Spidey and Shuri would be amazing.
He would show her the web shooters and she would make her own and they would annoy T’Challa
together!
Also everyone would ship it except the two of them.
Before they admitted their feelings everyone would be all “omg you tow are SO CUTE”
and there would be loads of blushing from them and smirking from Tony.
Imma go find some fanfic bye.”
Sorry, why aren’t you the one whose writing the fanfic?
MARVEL ARE YOU LISTENING?
THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN.
Emma Katz said, “I love stucky and really wished they gone that route rather than the
one where they pushed Cap and Sharon Carter together because it’s 1) weird and 2) so
blatantly forced that even the writers said so” THJANK YOU.
While I’m all for Stucky, I would literally rather see ANYONE ELSE with Cap than Sharon.
What does she really add to the narrative?
And how on earth could we ever expect Cap to want to be with her, all things considered
with Peggy.
It’s just so weird.
And I think his character’s principles would be like naaaahhhh this isn’t right.
Yet he’s making out with her in Civil War, and was supposed to have a scene with her
in Infinity War that THANKFULLY got cut.
His OTP is Bucky, you guys.
Bucky’s his numbero uno priority.
Always has been, always will be.
Lastly, some more Stucky love from BuckyBarnes coolblueberry 1, “When she said ‘and number
one…; I was just thinking STUCKY STUCKY STUCKY and she said Stucky and I was like
YAAAAASSS” Dreams do come true, friends.
