OKAY. So I saw it twice and then had the weekend to muse on it, so some specifically Clint and Nat thoughts:
The answer to ‘where is Clint?’ being apparently ‘not in this film’ amused me actually. And also made me feel a bit...safe? That he wouldn't be messed with in this film, although who knows with that ending! Hopefully he’ll get decent screen time in Avengers 4. I mean, there's not a lot of people left alive so there's space…! Also my cinema buddy suggested maybe A4 will pull back to/or focus on the original 5 MCU Avengers since they're all still around. And I expect a GREAT DEAL of fanfic about where Clint has been and what he’s been up to, just sayin’ ;)
Nat gets some good moments. As much as I didn't like how they handled the Bruce/Nat ‘monster’ scene in AOU and never delivered on the Clint/Nat tone of Avengers, I like that they did acknowledge the AOU Bruce/Nat and didn't just sweep it under the carpet, even with everything else going on. Especially since the ending of AOU and Bruce being Hulk for so long is tied, to me at least, with Hulk feeling angry at Nat and wanting to protect Bruce from her.
(Essentially: she says she care for Bruce and then shoves him off a cliff because ‘she needs the other guy’ more. Because Nat’s character arc in AOU is deciding to be a hero and she thinks out of Bruce and Hulk,Hulk is the hero. Ouch. Although in IW Bruce is the one who does everything…)
Sam’s ‘this is awkward’ is PERFECT :)
Love her being protective of Wanda, the way Cap tosses that spear to her in Edinburgh, her fight scenes… Especially with Okoye and that girl power moment, that Wanda is ‘not alone’ and the three of them fight the female baddie. Also the ‘gross’ lol.
I am also amused that of the Avengers on the run following Civil War Cap has just ripped off his star and grown a beard, Sam’s gear is scuffed up but he's made no attempt to change himself, and Nat is there with a different outfit and blood hair and has made an effort. Boys, you're doing it wrong.
Although Clint and Scott are so undercover that everyone believes they're under house arrest, so… But I bet it’s just that nobody recognises Scott ;)
