The Most Annoying Relationships In Marvel Movies So Far
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been filled with healthy, collaborative romantic relationships since 2008. T'Challa and Nakia in Black Panther, for example, feel like true equals, with a familiar relationship handled organically. Similarly, Okoye and W'Kabi's relationship is one of the most dynamic in the MCU, as neither of them is prepared to compromise their values for love.
However, there are some irritating relationships in the MCU owing to a lack of chemistry, an actor walking out of a role, or a couple that just don't make sense. This isn't to argue that the Marvel cinematic universe didn't have fantastic source material to work with - there are plenty of healthy love relationships in the Marvel universe, but many of them fail to translate well to the screen. And below are the ten most annoying relationships in Marvel movies so far.
Jane's absence is explained the same way Pepper Potts' is: an off-screen breakup. The situation is handled carelessly. Many fans, however, argued that Jane and Thor lacked the chemistry to begin with, so they were simply relieved to have it resolved off-screen.
This romance is slammed to a halt in Avengers: Infinity War. Bruce and Natasha appear to be either hot and heavy and preparing to go away together, or they are exchanging one awkward hello. This is unfortunate since they could operate well together if there was a middle ground.
Some also objected to Oscar nominee Rachel McAdams being cast in a supporting love interest part that would be abandoned or reintroduced into the plot as needed. McAdams is deserving of a more meaty role.
