Marvel Cinematic Universe gave fans heart-throbbing moments throughout its ascension to the big screens. Romance, love, and bonding are key factors that make a supernatural being a “hero.” Yes, you may argue that villains have romanticism in them as well.
However, the difference is quite simple. The love that drives you through the path of righteousness and integrity; is the purest form of love. Togetherness only makes heroes stronger or even proves the character to be a good person, a true leader, and a hero when tragedy falls upon their loved ones when they choose to be on the righteous side.
Such romance in the universe often brought up quite a few cherishing ships. Tony Stark and Pepper Potts, Steve Rodgers and Peggy Carter, Thor, and Jane, or even Peter Parker and MJ. These relationships often brought the best out of everyone’s favorite superheroes during struggling moments.
However, one such power couple in the universe that gets blurred among the heavyweights is Scott Lang and Hope van Dyne or Ant-Man & Wasp. Scott Lang is played by Paul Rudd, whereas Evangeline Lilly comprises the role of Hope van Dyne.
Their comical and cute chemistry on the screen brings out a much-needed light-hearted break from the tragic deaths, fights, and storylines. Their chemistry plays the role of a fool to lighten up the audience’s mood before the climax.
This method has been prevalent for ages, mostly used by William Shakespeare in his plays. Therefore, to describe it in an easier manner, their on-screen chemistry does the intended job towards the audience in the MCU movies.
Although a strong argument can be made about how Marvel has taken romanticism to be a minor subject in the character development of the heroes in the past decade, it does not change the fact that the on-screen segments create a major impact on the configuration of heroes’ prevalence over darkness and evil in the most subtle ways.
Now that you understand the importance of romanticism in fantasy movies, you should definitely know the relationship between one of the most underrated duos of the superhero genre; Ant-Man and Wasp.
