wankgate | The Fifty-Third

I don't think the movie-verse is ready to go that way in canon. The only thing a canon Sharon will do to the stonyshippers is give them someone to bash because she's so mean to Steve (absolutely unrelated to whether she is portrayed that way or not in movie canon). It's not as if Pepper stopped them. Shippers gonna ship regardless of canon.

Personal opinion only, I've just always found Steve/Sharon a bit of a creepy idea. I can kind of gloss over it in the comics. The movie did a really good job with making Peggy real and a part of the story though and now I just find the idea of Sharon being directly blood related even more of an ick factor. Feels too much like dating the daughter because you can't have the mom. I'm hoping the franchise can pull it off somehow so it feels normal but, wistfully dreaming, I'd rather they hadn't tried at all.

THIS.

It really actually is creepy the more you think about it. Idgaf if she's Steve's het ship, I don't think Steve should be with anyone or if he is, it should be a regular/non-super hero person. Him being with Peggy's blood relative because she's too old just registers on so many DO NOT WANT factors I can't believe anyone actually ships it.

ngl I like Steve being single. I know it's not the Hollywood version of The Way Life Should Be but I really enjoyed having a hero that was single and okay with it the way I'm okay with being single. Everyone else has a pairing (I count Bruce in his angsty 'can't be together' as paired). It wasn't even a 'he needs to stay loyal to his lost love' thing for me so much as 'yeah, there's nothing wrong with you if you don't have a SO'. It was refreshing to see someone that WASN'T paired and just getting on with his life. I knew Hollywood wouldn't let it last but damn, I wish they had. Steve makes a good single guy.

true story

For me, I think it's just feeling the whole ship is ooc for Steve. He just never struck me as the kind of guy to do something that skeevy (falls in love with a girl in his original time and when he wakes up again, whoops, too old, goes out and fucks her niece instead).

just to clarify, in comics canon Steve didn't know for a while that Sharon was related to Peggy. so...he wasn't skeevy at all and he didn't just run off to fuck her niece instead.

Yeah. He doesn't go after her because she's related to Peggy and I doubt they'd be doing that in the movie anyway. They have a pretty awesome relationship as far as relationships in comics go, tbh, and speaking of which? Silver age era. It was a weird time for comics in general.

I'm pretty stoked to get Sharon, if we do, because as a character she is fucking badass and I really hope they do her justice.

I find the Steve/Sharon pairing idea for the upcoming movie uncomfortable too. Just too close, dude. Way too close. Relatives are off limits. It sounds like a cool tie-in idea until you start paying attention to the implications and then it gets creepy fast. I would have loved to see him fall in with with a regular/non-super hero person however. Sure, they'd have to be someone pretty special to put up with the whole super hero thing but that's one of the reasons I loved MJ in the Spider-man comics: PRE-reboot. Sure she was a super model but at the end of the day, she was just a regular human without a fancy skin tight suit, special training or super powers and when she got in a jam, she had to use her head and her grit to get through. I remember when she beat up the Chameleon with a baseball bat. Good times, good times. I would have loved a set up like that.

this is captain america, not spider-man.

besides, steve was in the ice for about sixty years. that's a lot of generations between peggy and sharon. i wouldn't keep trying with the "too close" stuff.

a lot of generations? that's maybe like, two

i don't have a horse in this race but there you go

/da, also no horse in the race here

taking into account the birth/death rates between 1945 to present day in america, plus the average age of marriage in those years (between the 40s and 80s for example, women were getting married at around 21 yrs of age and men at 23) i'd say that averages each generation into about 20 to 25 years rather than 30.

so that'd mean a 3 generation gap between steve and sharon, roughly. i'm rounding up the numbers here, obvs.

i think maybe anon was mixing up generations and decades

yeah, i was thinking the same thing.

For clarity that 'too close' was for family ties, not years. I'll take a page from anon below and point out your lack of reading comprehension. I didn't read anyone mentioned age or years as what's problematic. Nice try at derailment.

Having been through some of the more hefty ship wars myself, my advice to you would be to take a step back now before the real shit starts flying. So far everyone but you has been generally polite and stuck to their point in this thread. Once the movie comes out, the rabid shippers are going to start in certain vocal parts of the internet. You're going to run yourself ragged if you get this way every time someone voices an opinion that doesn't match yours.

i... think they meant that in the mcu, sharon and peggy would have enough of a familial gap in terms of years to not really be the equivalent of a mother daugher or aunt niece relationship. so they wouldn't be as "close", if that makes sense.

agree that the anon should not get so mad so quick tho.
