This thread is distracting. I should be working. Lol, oh, well, I can't really say that I mind... :D I unfortunately don't have time to read everything, so forgive me if I'm repeating something others have already said.

I don't know much about the comics beyond what I've read in fan fiction, so I don't really have preferences for a villain/show down.

As for Clint and Nat's relationship, though, my inner shipper jumps out and says, "Yes, please, show something concrete!" But, I agree, I don't think they *need* that to keep things interesting. They're both such great characters, and have a fabulous chemistry as it is.

In any case, what I would love to see is more of Clint and Nat. I have heard that Jeremy Renner complained about how little he actually got to play Loki-free Hawkeye, and as much as I love the whole concept of mind-control (such wonderful angst) I can see why he was irritated.

Hawkeye is such a fascinating character and no matter how you view his relationship with Natasha, their dynamic is gold. We only got brief glimpses of that. So, I would love to see *more* - how they interact, their inside jokes, and how the team views them...

I would also love Hawkeye to have some sort of pivotal role in how things go down, simply because I love the idea of the "normal" human being the one that makes the difference. Not to mention, his skill with a bow is awesome, and I'd love to see that shown off.

IF THIS THREAD ISN'T DISTRACTING, THEN WE ARE NOT DOING OUR JOB. WOO! \O/

And omg I am so with you on just wanting MORE of them in any way, shape or form. Yes. Pls.

seconded, or thirded, or whatever ;) I said it somewhere else, but Hollywood/Whedon should just hire some of us out as consultants ;) Be all, "hey you're doing a great job! But you could maybe use some extra Clint/Natasha scenes here... and there.... and here too"

yes to that as well- some of my favorite fics are an outsiders view on Natasha and Clint's relationship, and to have that in the film would be amazing! and yes to the entire paragraph about Hawkeye having a pivotal role and it being even more epic/make more of an impact because he is a "normal" human and he's making a difference. Lovely message ;) plus archery makes everything better :D

They could have Hawkeye pull some House of M era move to step forward and save the group, but of course that involved him dying (twice).
