banner/natasha is "canon" do and look how quick that got buried
this similarly gross and ooc ship will be quietly ignored and frankly i'd be amazed if sharon even appears again. fucking darcy has better odds of coming back than her
banner/natasha was also written by a hack feminist director who was with odds with how the studios wanted the MCU to proceed and refused to write certain characters.
tbf EVERY marvel director is at odds with the studios. they micromanage things to a t. editing is always a mess and a fight. there's a reason they go through directors like candy.
related, but you know why the russo brothers are working out for marvel? because there are two of them. they can actually take turns dealing with marvel studios instead of constantly feeling the breath down their necks.
if you want to dislike a canon ship/pairing/action, that's okay. dislike it. everyone has different preferences. but calling ooc on a legit canon pairing in the actual canon itself means you have zero grasp on what ooc actually means.
Professional writers can screw up their characterization just like amateurs can. Especially in canons like superhero comics, where multiple writers across decades have been interpreting the characters in different ways and taking their characterization in different directions. A single writer can fuck up their own characters, too, but they're more likely to have had a coherent vision for the character than a writing team.
It's not automatically illegitimate to say that something a character does in canon was really OOC for them, based on their established characterization up to that point. It's just a way of calling out bad writing.
(Of course it's no more automatically legitimate than any claim of OOCness, particularly one based on shipping, but "ooc" is not a fault that only fan writers are capable of having.)
clearly ayrt doesn't know jack shit about superhero comics or they'd know right away how full of shit they are, both sides of the aisle are positively brimming with examples of professional writers screwing up characterization, sometimes unintentionally and sometimes very intentionally, this is how shit like cassandra cain becoming a dragon lady and cyclops literally boning emma frost over his own wife's grave happen. being paid to be a writer doesn't make writers automatically competent, sometimes they have good ideas they execute badly and sometimes they just have bad ideas
people are acting like he fucked the daughter of a long-time lover or something. most hilariously, they're acting like he did it because of that. like it was some sort of kink or something.
oh, wait, no. i forgot. inflation, watersports and ageplay are totally acceptable and you should never kinkshame them. but date a girl who's mildly related to some chick you were attracted to 70 years ago? OMG SO GROSS!
