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.
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.
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.
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.
