ATTF: Outsider P0Vs  
Not too long ago my family was sitting around watching “The Avengers” (because who doesn’t do that on occasion because REASONS) when a Clint/Natasha moment came onscreen. I don’t even remember which one it was, but I do remember my stepdad calming announcing to the room, “They have a history. You can tell.” His tone making it very clear what kind of history our favorite assassin pair has.

So if the 70-year-old retired schoolteacher can intuit Clint and Natasha’s relationship based solely on the canon that is “The Avengers”, what do the people who live and operate in said assassins’ universe think? What about people who see them only once in a while? Other superheroes? Average folks? SHIELD agents? Submit your recs – all types welcome!

Interesting theory -- I was thinking it would be a cover to escape chasers of some sort (who wouldn't expect them to act like a couple).

But yes! on Sharon Carter (played by Haylee Attwell with modern hair?) -- having written her, I'd like to see her (if only to see how far I was off the mark...).

I always felt the kissing to avoid chasers bit was sort of silly, because PDAs draw more attention than two people just standing there, but that could be it given movie logic. :)

Casting spoiler: she's actually going to be played by Emily VanCamp

So true.

And really? I (a) wanted Haylee Atwell back and (b) am not a huge fan of Emily VanCamp as an actress, but that's just me. Marvel as a studio has made excellent casting decisions so far, so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. We shall see soon, I'm sure!

Casting is the one spot where I absolutely trust Marvel, so I'm hoping it works out. I think in the long run it will be better for the actress to be different, so Steve is actually falling for a new person, instead of trying to recreate an old romance/ turn Sharon into a substitute for Peggy.

Very valid point!

I'm curious, how do you think they were baiting Bucky? I thought it was that they were trying to hide their faces. I love how they are dressed like college students.

I get the hiding their faces things, maybe from face recognition software in a security camera? But also I think Bucky is tracking them, and will see the kiss, and Natasha is hoping to provoke an emotional response. IDK. It's fun to speculate.
