Fandometrics In Depth: The Avengers

thefandometrics:

This post is entirely spoiler free for anyone who has yet to see Avengers: Infinity War.

It’s finally here. A cinematic event ten years in the making, the entire Marvel cinematic universe collides in today’s release of Avengers: Infinity War. After a solid decade of theory after theory, we will finally know who lives, who dies, and if Stucky will ever be canon.

With more than 16 million engagements, #Marvel is the fifth most popular brand on Tumblr in 2018 thus far—right behind #BTS, #Voltron: Legendary Defender, and #Overwatch. To celebrate, let’s take a look back at which Avengers have dominated the Marvel conversation.

The people behind the superheroes

When it comes to the MCU, there’s a trope of naming the films after the main superhero’s alter ego. To separate the films from the characters as much as we could, we’re using a strict real name policy for this list. It’s no surprise that Tumblr’s first boyfriend, Loki, takes top honors. Following him by less than 1% is our favorite memelord and STEM superstar, Shuri. Here’s the full breakdown:

  1. Loki | 14.54%
  2. Shuri | 13.74%
  3. Bucky Barnes | 13.53%
  4. Tony Stark | 12.53%
  5. Steve Rogers | 12.01%
  6. T’Challa | 10.46%
  7. Peter Parker | 10.31%
  8. Okoye | 5.94%
  9. Thor Odinson | 4.19%
  10. Bruce Banner | 2.75%

Also the people behind the superheroes

Two years ago, Sebastian Stan was declared Tumblr’s newest boyfriend. What a trend! Right behind him is Tom Holland, who was the No. 1 celebrity on Tumblr back in 2017. The rest of the list reads like a beautiful poem full of people we cherish:

  1. Sebastian Stan | 19.96%
  2. Tom Holland | 16.97%
  3. Tom Hiddleston | 13.48%
  4. Chris Evans | 12.4%
  5. Chadwick Boseman | 11.21%
  6. Danai Gurira | 5.78%
  7. Chris Hemsworth | 5.44%
  8. Letitia Wright | 5.2%
  9. Robert Downey Jr. | 4.97%
  10. Benedict Cumberbatch | 4.6%

Tony Stark is very shippable

If you follow our weekly ships list, you’re probably familiar with Stucky, but the rest of the list might surprise you.
