User blog comment:Mccray316/Who will the Black Widow end up with: Hawkeye or Captain America/@comment-5221980-20120622164020

I'm hoping neither. There doesn't need to be a lot of romance in this series of movies, and everyone doesn't need to be paired up with someone. The romance can be relegated to the individual movies but the team movies need to be about the "threat" and its effects, with slightly less emphasis on the relationships (although only slightly less, since relationships between characters are what make a great story). I think Hawkeye's and Black Widow's history together (and I REALLY hope this gets fleshed out in a S.H.I.E.L.D. movie) should be what happened when Hawkeye "made the different call" when he was sent to take out Black Widow and their mutual respect for each other and friendship as a result. I hope it doesn't get relegated to a Twilight-esque mess. If you are looking for romance, Tony Stark and Pepper Potts have their thing going, and the amount that was seen in Avengers was perfect for me. You can get Bruce Banner and Betty Ross together if it fits the script. And for the die hard romantics out there, Cap still owes Peggy Carter a dance...
