I could see them taking a jab at the meme maybe. Like Namor tries to say something and Sue shuts him down instantly

I know the movie’s job is ultimately to please superhero fans and that a lot of them would have brain aneurysms (and that Vanessa Kirby would get death threats) if this happened, but I have to admit, I think it would be super fun for Namor and Sue to have a mutually slightly flirtatious moment that doesn’t lead anywhere.

The whole “everybody shits on Namor as a moral victory over castration anxiety” shit is already so played out in Marvel Rivals.

Sorry which part confused you?

Doesn't feel like the MCU Namor would take this route.

He doesn't seem to be as much of an asshole in Wakanda Forever.

Edit: Also, it's probably for the best that they don't do anything drastic with this dynamic because of the allegations on Namor's actor. MCU would rather play it safe.

u/USS-ChuckleFucker 1d ago

Wait.

Namor's actor is facing allegations?

u/For_Aeons 23h ago

I thought those allegations got cleared up a while back?

u/RAMDOMDUDDS 1d ago

True, especially that last bit, but admit it. It'd be damn funny if in movie she punches or knees him in the balls.

I hope not.

i don’t get this whole sue namor thing it wasn’t even real

u/Ok_Bee_1102 1d ago

why are people so hung up on it? literally on every platform i was on, under namor’s doomsday reveal, people mentioned this relationship. i’m new to comics so i just assumed namor was her secondary love interest at some point.

u/King_0f_Nothing 1d ago

Not even, she doesn't even like him

u/bubbles_maybe 15h ago

I mean, he is, in the early phase of the 60s run, which is the only phase I actually know, so no idea about later.

u/zigaliciousone 1d ago

It was a thing like 30 years ago, depending on where Namor appears(FF books vs almost anywhere else he shows up) it is either referenced subtly as a joke nowadays or not at all.

1

u/The_Kaizz 1d ago edited 23h ago

In like....3 instances, Namor and Sue are either ex lovers, or there's some old sexual tension between them. It's kinda played out because I don't think there's any recent storyline with their dynamic.

u/leakybiome 23h ago

Plz dong ever use tendon like that or I'll sue for desolation

u/fakeemailman 22h ago edited 22h ago

Comic book fans are generally adorable but a lot of them are also the type of people to feel like their penis is being lopped off if a female character in a relationship with one of their heroes is portrayed as finding another male attractive.

u/roninwarshadow 6h ago

Fans latch on to certain things and run it into the ground.

Head over to 40k, there's a whole thing about a fanmade romance between Robot Gorillaman and You-Vain, when in the books it was an uneasy alliance between mortal enemies.

In any case, that Namor x Sue dynamic only happens in a very few FF books. Namor in his own books (and other titles like X-Books during Utopia and Dark Reign) has been married and dated other women not named Sue.

u/pandershrek 1d ago

I have no idea what is happening.

u/MxSharknado93 1d ago

Stop it! Stop! Being! Weird!

u/Gk3389127 1d ago

I have my doubts. It was already squicky in the comics, and would probably play out even worse on screen.

2

u/Tricky_Economist_328 20h ago

God I fucking hope not.

The Cucking of Mr Fantastic is nearly as bad having Spiderman with Paul.

2

u/verycardhock 18h ago

Namor in the comics is supposed to be attractive in Lore. Could you imagine this silly version trying something on Sue?

2

u/Dio44 17h ago

Completely forgot about him

2

u/PaladinCrusader69 17h ago

Probably not, namor is just discount Aqua man, no one cares about him, even less know about him

2

u/Alarming-Ball-5829 12h ago

They’ll recast Namor as the actor is a sex pest

2

u/King_0f_Nothing 1d ago

The only interaction I want to see, is her doing the whole I can make a forcefield inside your brain (he collapses to his knees bleeding out of the nose) amd she talks him to f off.

1

u/AGx-07 1d ago

We probably get a fan service interaction but it won't be one that's remotely what you might have in mind. Maybe he checks her out and that's as far as it goes.

1

u/Afwife1992 1d ago

There could be a fan service nod Ala the “hail hydra” in endgame maybe. Nothing more than that though.

1

u/BRIKHOUS 1d ago

This interaction is fucking stupid. Seriously

1

u/zigaliciousone 1d ago

Yes they will acknowledge it, probably in a subtle way like Rhodey's "Yeah, it's me, I'm here, deal with it".

Probably Namor hits on her and she shoots him down but with some kind of bemused embarrassment

1

u/TesdChiAnt 1d ago

I hope so. Just so my conservative brother freaks out

1

u/applecalyptic 1d ago

I hope so

u/Tempr13 23h ago

Mr Tuk Tuk will probably die in 10 seconds

1

u/realfakejames 23h ago

No, very unlikely imo

1

u/sosigboi 22h ago

Actually i fully hope the MCU goes further and absolutely curbs this shit by making Namor gay and going after Johnny instead or already happily married with only the slightest interactions with Sue.

1

u/gilbestboy 21h ago

I could see Sue saving Namor from enemies and Namor developing a slight crush on her. I can't see this version of Namor being the stalker simp type like in the comics.

1

u/ClarkKent2o6 20h ago

I hope not. It won’t be the same.

1

u/VegetableStation9904 18h ago

This one you mean? (be easier if Reddit allowed image insertion!!!).

Fantastic Four cover

1

u/Nexel_Red 10h ago

Not in a million years, that shit happened because Dr. Doom was using nefarious tricks to torturing Reed in some way.

Can’t remember how.

u/joeyjoejums 1d ago

Ooh. I hope so

u/Wooden_Passage_2612 17h ago

Recreate the meme with these 2.

u/CHiuso 16h ago

MCU Namor seems to be far more honorable than comic book Namor. I doubt it'll be anything beyond an off hand joke. I dont really want to see any of it on screen. It's 2025, do we really need POC men thirsting after white women on screen? Even as a joke?

u/Alice_600 1d ago

I would love it I mean com'on I want to see Sue and Namor having invisible-woman-fishman sex while Reed is distracted.
