Greetings nerdy list aficionados it’s time to get back into the realm of shipping the
process of pairing fictional characters together and fantasizing about their lives it’s not
for everyone but it’s for me.
I actually run a channel on shipping called shippers guide to the galaxy so if you’re
a fandom connoisseur hop on over.
For today we’re going to be taking a look at Carol Danvers currently Captain Marvel
but we’ll look at ships from all her aliases.
I’m Sasha and these are the top 10 weirdest Captain Marvel ships, as I always say when
I do these they’re not that weird well not all of them, but what do I know I’m in too
deep.
Number 10 – Carol Danvers/Jessica Drew this pairing is between Ms Marvel or Captain Marvel
and Spider-Woman but it started while she was Ms Marvel.
So some history Jessica Drew when she first came on the scene exuded a pheromone that
made people fear her and it was hard for her to get along with people because of it, despite
this she managed to form a firm friendship with Spider-Woman.
Yes this happened years later but this friendship has become an important staple of Marvel and
some have read some pretty romantic undertones in it.
There are fans of these two characters who want to see them kicking butt together as
a couple and they are very cute to draw together, these two have a decent amount of fanart and
a lot of it is in the iconic Ms Marvel costume, which I don’t care what anyone says I still
love that costume.
Competent heroes with a backdrop of friendship the classic friends to lovers.
Number 9 – Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman this is a crossover these are very common
in the fandom sphere characters not belonging to the same companies, universes, mediums
doesn’t matter that’s what the realm of imagination is for all barriers can be broken.
Now crossovers are not for everyone some people don’t believe in crossing the streams, but
those that do give us pairings like this.
So this one conceptually makes a lot of sense because of these two being strong female led
properties for each company respectively but also because of Wonder Woman’s upbringing
many fans speculate that she would logically be bisexual, and potentially more comfortable
around woman and could be drawn to Carol’s no nonsense personality, and her desire to
build strong bonds.
Would you want to see these two together I mean once captain marvel comes out there’s
going to be some good fanvid making material for you fanvid lovers out there.
People are primed this ship didn’t spring up just because eof the movies it was rare
but people had been pondering it.
Number 8 - Black Widow and Captain Marvel, ok so here this too has been going on pre
MCU but the MCU has given it a boost as it tends to.
However there is a period of Carol’s history that could really give her something in common
with Black Widow.
For a time Danvers was brainwashed by Hydra and believed and became an assassin for them
before defecting and ultimately joining shield.
This history of manipulation and changing sides could give them something to bond over
on top of an arena where they could meet and hang out.
People are excited to see these two interact and let’s be honest in fandom who isn’t
paired with Black Widow.
Number 7 – Spider-Man/Ms Marvel – ok so this is going back a ways but this one really
happened and it followed the period of Carol didn’t have her powers and was still continuing
on in her investigations and superheroing.
She ran into Spide-Man a few times and still managed to take him down, well Peter’s in
to that so slirting led to a fate proposal and several issues later once she had her
powers back we were graced with Ms. Marvel 47 where the two went on a date, and what
an awkward date it was.
It got better ending with Peter’s favourite thing Hot dogs on the roof, but it never really
went anywhere.
Canonically we know MJ is Peter’s true love but for certain fans they didn’t mind this
idea at all.
These two remain good friends and in the minds of some fans something more.
Number 6 – Steve Rogers good ol Captain America from the MCU this is an MCU constructed
ship that has sprung up since the Captain Marvel trailers have been released largely
in the form of fan vids.
Here we’re working on the idea of similar backgrounds, and displacement.
Captain America is of course one of Marvel’s favourite cliché’s the man out of time
and Carol has been ripped from the Earth presumably.
They need to relearn the world around them whilst having strong expectations placed on
their shoulders some feel they could bear that burden together and also have some fun
rediscovering the world together.
Also their military backgrounds people are already making au aka alternate universe videos.
It’s intriguing we’ll see how Starol develops it’ll never beat Stucky though, but nothing
will.
Number 5 – Captain Mar-Velle the original Captain Mar-velle and her mentor these two
have been depicted as having as a romance multiple times including this great panel
where it looks like he’s breaking her spine.
Thank goodness she’s the strongest hero in the MCU.
In the first backstory they were together even before she became Ms Marvel.
They of course have an intense bond of mentorship and well kreeness.
It’s his fault after all.
For some this is a bit too obvious and you know Mar-Vell was dead for awhile in fact
when he first died some reviews said it was the most interesting thing he’d ever done
harsh!
Number 4 – Wolverine so in modern comics these two are just pretty much written like
ex lovers it’s just out there they had a thing, well you know how fandom is no thing
is a dead thing.
If you had a thing they will make you have another thing.
Some just like how these two get each other, they can be themselves around each other and
just seem like they’d have a good time and it’s nice to not see Logan moping around
and pining over his love interests and one more time for those in the back.
They had a thing!
Number 3 – War Machine again this was a thing it was a real thing and then she got
him killed comics are fun.
Anyways since the MCU is a different universe that means different rules need apply so potentially
Rhodey could have some good luck for once and have a nice romance with an Avenger who
has no ties to the others so can’t get involved in petty squabbles he gets hurt in.
Ok Civil war was more than a petty squabble but man did he get caught in the crossfire.
Now even in canon people thought this one was weird but it made sense they both had
military backgrounds, were serious about being heroes and Carol was looking for some stability.
Her love life has been a little chaotic.
Number 2 – Maria Rambeau higher further faster shippers yep all you need is a trailer
to launch certain ships add the childhood friends aspect and the strong at times overly
assertive pro female vibe the Captain Marvel press campaign has had well it’s not shock
that you’re seeing this ship pop up.
When the film is actually released which it is not as of the time of this recording this
one has the potential to explode.
Number 1 – Tony Stark so this one might be surprising to some cause well Tony and
Carol fell out hard thanks to Civil War 2 but like most characters in the Marvel universe
Carol has slept with Tony Stark but it was in the ultimates verse so that’s neither
here nor there but the two actually used to be good friends.
Tony really helped Carol through her alchoholism after she lost her binary powers and was still
regaining her memories.
This would eventually blossom into their strong friendship which hey it made sense.
However when they recreated Civil War 2 even more sloppily than the first time these two
found themselves on opposite sides.
People are often discussing whether this one is feasible or not some feel that Carol is
waaaay out of Tony’s league and others think they would be perfect for each other, what
do you think.
So those were some Captain Marvel pairings, she’s actually not as shipped a character
not a bicycle or little black dress by any means.
Which of these pairings made the most sense to you leave your thoughts down below.
I’m Sasha thanks so much for watching…..sign off
