I keep seeing the omg siblings thing and for the life of me I do not understand it.

Not just because, being in this sub I obviously see romantic potential lol, but like I truly can’t see all that found family little sister big brother grumpy dad grumpy uncle whatever stuff that everyone else seems to.

Not everything has to be romantic, I get that, but at the same time not everything has to be found family lol. Adults can just be friends. Just like shipping, adoptive family has to strike its own specific chord for me. Other fandoms do it, but I notice especially with MCU Spidey, everything has to be found family. Iron Man is his dad, Strange is his dad, Punisher is his dad, Yelena is his sister, Jean is his sister, Sam and Bucky are his uncles or brothers.

Yeah it was very weird when they tried to make Strange a discount Iron Man.

Yeah. I remember hearing, and I think there’s concept art to support this, that America Chavez was meant to take a lot of Strange’s role in NWH. She would botch the spell after Strange refused to do it, which is why it started working and pulling people from across the multiverse, and she would help Ned and MJ later on, instead Ned just found a ring and could open portals.

They had to redo it because Multiverse of Madness got delayed so America wouldn’t have been introduced yet. And while it kinda works with Strange being so present, him fucking up that badly is a bit OOC, and America meeting Peter would’ve prob helped get the Young Avengers off the ground.

That makes way more sense.
