54. those weak ass love interests

//

more recently, the majority of women in film aren't just love interests. we have LEGENDARY women who don't need any man. nonetheless, marvel did treat us to some awful gems-

jane foster isn't great i'm sorry-

christine from doctor strange? the only reason i remember her name is because she's played by the living breathing legend rachel mcadams i'm-

i mean they tried to give her depth but liz from homecoming is just...so boring? and peter's crush on her is adorable for about 2 minutes before you realise she has no character-

and the worst offender?

sharon carter

before anything, there is no one angrier than me that there is a scene where steve kisses sharon just days after the funeral of the love of his life. okaY.

but this woman deserved BETTER. she didn't need to be steve's bland love interest, she could have been a badass and actually likeable if they spent time on her. but they just rushed her when steve didn't even NEED a girlfriend, because he's never getting over peggy.

marvel writers will probably continue to (maybe accidentally) queerbait us with him and bucky. sharon could have been good if she wasn't reduced to dull, helpful at one point, never heard from again, love interest.
