Hands down the best part of the new Avengers: Endgame trailer was Thor trying to take Captain Marvel’s measure. The few seconds of footage tagged at trailer’s end was the only moment of levity, and as these things are wont to do, it launched frenzied social media reactions, memes, fanart, and even a (misguided) ship.

Why is shipping these two misguided, you say? Well, while it’s understandable that some fans would see the beautiful Carol Danvers and the beautiful Thor, two of the strongest Avengers, and decide that there’s a romantic spark between them, they are mistaken.

Thor, god of lesbians, is far more likely spotting a potential date for his BFF Valkyrie and responding with an approving grin to Carol’s vibrant queer energy.

Romance aside, many fans loved the idea of Thor and Carol as pals, basking in each other’s mutual glow:

Because let’s be real—this is quite the formidable dream team team-up:

And the two already have a history.

(But just so we’re perfectly clear about the shipping here.)

In the end(game), we know this much is true:

  • The Washington Post‘s Margaret Sullivan on the horrifying use of social media in the New Zealand mosque attacks. (via WaPo)
  • Buzzfeed covers a Tweet that went viral highlighting the absolute absurdity of women’s pant sizing. If you have no idea why women are forever up in arms about the mere act of trying to buy pants, please read. (via Buzzfeed)
  • OMG. MARK.

  • There’s a live action “hybrid” Tom & Jerry in the works and I hate it. Just let Tom catch that goddamned mouse already. (via Comicbookmovie)
  • How Captain Marvel altered the MCU’s tesseract timeline. (via Vox)

What did you see ou there today on this fair Friday?
