HOW IT SHOULD’VE WENT
this seemed so natural and correct to me that I had to read it three times before I realized what was wrong with it
Okay I know I just reblogged this, but I’m not done with it.
Has anyone else thought about how much more compelling this simple change would have been thematically? We lose nothing of Clint’s character development, because a sister can be just as important and share the same concerns as a wife. But instead of an awkwardly underdeveloped romantic relationship, suddenly there’s a sibling relationship to parallel the Maximoffs. But Clint has chosen to protect his family and keep them out of it, while Pietro and Wanda have chosen to fight side by side. Give Clint a conversation with Pietro about family, and protecting their family. Make them disapprove of each other’s methods. Pietro’s sacrifice to save Clint is instantly so much more heartbreaking. Give us Clint fighting to bring Pietro’s body back, because he knows he needs to bring him home to Wanda.
Literally so much improvement with less than five minutes of the actual film changed
I HAVE NEVER REBLOGGED SOMETHING SO FAST IN MY LIFE
Hell yeah to this. And this would’ve made more sense. I mean, okay, I know that MCU Clint is kinda based on Ults so the family came from there. But MCU is a mixture of many universes, you can just not add Clint’s marriage to MCU and make Laura his sister and that would actually work too. MCU already said “fuck comic canon” a few times anyway, so why not do that for this case. His family is cute, but you can’t say that they don’t seem as if they came out of nowhere because there was literally zero hints that Clint is a married man in the previous movies.
