alt.right heads are going to explode over this MCU article.

During an interview with ComicBook.com, Avengers: Endgame co-writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely commented on whether or not they intended to hint at a romance between Captain Marvel and War Machine.

After the heroes of Avengers: Endgame confront Thanos and discover he destroyed the Infinity Stones, preventing the team from using them to reverse the Mad Titan’s decimation, the film jumps ahead five years into the future. Fans later see Black Widow communicating with the team from different points in the universe via holograms and once everyone departs, Captain Marvel notably stays behind to wish War Machine “good luck,” leading some fans to believe the writers were hinting at a romance between the two heroes. While Christopher Markus did not confirm this, he did note that he is all for the movies bringing the Captain Marvel and War Machine romance from the page to screen:

“You mean when she says, ‘Good luck’ to him? I mean … You know, you can ship anything you want. We’re aware of the comic book relationship, and should things develop in the future of the MCU, I’m all for it.”

Who think that Captain Marvel is gay. That Carol and her pilot compatriot were more that friends.

What do I know.

BUT it could be people are just not used to the portrayal of a real strong female friendship and always have to go the extra step.

She's aware of her immense power and I feel Rhodes thinks she's full of herself and he doesn't like taking orders from her.

I thought the "good luck" thing was her feeling the pursuit of Barton was a pointless cause, but this is an interesting take.
