Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

Well, they've had a lot of interactions. It's plausible.

Winter Soldier didn't have any romance at all.

Forever liveblogging the AvengersCome on people, Science Bros can still be a thing. Platonic Science Bros.
Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectWell that's a thing.
They live together and Tony lets loads off his chest right at Banner.
I assumed people were talking about romantic shippery.

Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectFor Banner/Widow, I never thought it was fake but I do still think it's a development that feels more fanfic than it should - if it's actually fully romantic, that is.
Though from the clarifications we've gotten about it since it was first announced, while it's probably going to be romantic to an extent the relationship itself is a bit more complicated than that. Kind of like the two of them being particularly close to one another and being devoted to keeping each other safe, among other things.

If I were Natasha, I'd be a little offended. I'm a badass international superspy who's killed more people than James Bond, and now Captain Nerdpants wants to play Knight in Shining Armor, when the only thing that keeps him from being The Load in this relationship is the whole enormous green rage monster thing.
My various fanfics.Have to admit, I'm not a huge fan of Natasha being in a relationship with anyone... I think she works best romantically unattached.
But at the same time, if it was going to be anyone... Banner seems right, in some strange way that I can't put into words or back up with evidence.
And I find the idea that Natasha isn't with Hawkeye or either of the two Avengers she's shared a movie with to be hilarious and fitting in its own way.

I would have suggested Science Widow Threesome OT3, but then I thought, fuck it, Avengers Orgy is best Orgy.
