Heres a look at three MCU couples who took our breath away and three mismatched pairs.
While some pairings feel earned, others leave audiences scratching their heads.
Here are 3 of the best and 3 of the most baffling MCU movie love stories.
Peter Parker and MJ | ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’
Their unlikely care for each other amidst global chaos lays the foundation for a deeper connection.
ByAvengers: Infinity War, they share a devoted intimacy that tragically ends with Visions sacrifice.
Their story continues inWandaVision, which beautifully explores their suburban coupledom and Wandas all-consuming grief.
But the sparks viewers expect to see between Thor and Jane Foster just arent there.
Their whirlwind romance lacks the authentic chemistry and emotional connection that would make it feel believable and earned.
Unfortunately, this forced relationship quietly fizzles out off-screen before the events ofThor: The Dark World.
Their arc serves as another example of Marvel struggling to convincingly weave romantic subplots into its action-packed superhero narratives.
What begins as playful banter and a mutual understanding of being outsiders inSpider-Man:Homecominggradually gives way to affection.
ByFar From Home, their feelings deepen during a fateful school trip abroad.
Though MJ plays it cool, she clearly cares for and anchors Peter amidst overwhelming chaos.
Their chemistry finally culminates into a full-blown romance inNo Way Home.
The usually reserved Natasha suddenly becomes infatuated with Bruce, despite barely interacting with him previously.
Clearly opposites, Natasha the calm assassin, and Bruce the awkward scientist have zero chemistry.
Unlike many great MCU pairings that complement each other, Natasha and Bruce highlight the others flaws.
Their entire relationship contrivance was clearly a misstep.
Their deep emotional connection transcends time and circumstance.
We get banter and teamwork but little real connection.
