Ultron "spoiler":
I still can't get over that Black Widow's biggest emotional struggle is not being able to have children. How stereotypic is that?! I was happy as can be to have my uterus ripped out so that I never had to worry about the possibility again! Her memories showed her shooting an unarmed man in the head. How is that not worse than no birthing of your own?! And what about all of that red in her ledger?
I also hate how Natasha basically threw herself at Bruce. For frax sake, that is so not her style. It's not Joss's style, either. From my experience of his writing (which is somewhat extensive), he hints at least 3-5 "episodes" ahead about anything like that. But I don't remember ANYTHING in Avenger's that would support her desiring Bruce. And even if it was there, she wouldn't be so obvious and assertive about it. Not that she's not assertive, but she's a spy, for goodness sakes, she would be much more subtle.
The handling of Black Widow's character was so bad in this movie that I won't own the movie. I'd like a Captain America set, but it won't include this one.
Which isn't so bad, because Captain America's character didn't really do anything, either. You can't see any change or growth from his dismantling of SHIELD and Hydra in his last movie. He's just a stock character.
The whole movie was really a let-down. Marvel had been doing such a great job of building the movies, the universe, and then this movie lost all of the characters and their arcs, and was just a mess to show them all together.
