I agree, that was a bit weird. But I think what Natasha was trying to get at was that because she was sterilized, there was no one that could ever "distract" her, no one she'd love that would interfere with a mission, ergo she's done a lot of terrible shit. Because she hasn't loved anyone.

Overall I thought the pseudo love story between them was a bit random but mostly genuine and one of the better parts of the movie, but I didn't think the movie was that good. Too much random, unrelated stuff - as the example you pointed out really trying to hash in the ~backstories~ - and random non sequiter events like Natasha randomly getting kidnapped for like two minutes and then saved because... because... ?

The bit with Natasha getting kidnapped and then saved by Bruce was so random that I actually thought it was some sort of dream/planning sequence for pretty much the whole scene until she forcibly Hulk'd him and they appeared with the others again later.

Natasha's plotline was really disappointing to me because while it felt like she actually got a tiny bit of Tony Stark's screen time, it was all angst and distress without ever building up to anything. I was SO hoping that she'd be the one to use Thor's hammer (she didn't try picking it up) or do something else totally badass. But instead nothing happened with her. Like she sort of fought at the end, but nothing climactic or kickass. And why did she get kidnapped? I guess she sent the location to the Avengers or whatever but it just seemed so random, unnecessary and lame. What was Ultron's motivation? And the scene lasted like under two minutes, as did a lot of other random "something important (?) is happening scenes" (like Thor's solo adventures) it was all just boggling.

Yeah, I definitely liked that her background was expanded on, but quite a lot of parts that were supposedly character development felt like they were cut out from longer scenes and pasted on since they were just kind of there instead of leading anywhere. I would have liked to see something more come out of the dream sequence Wanda induced in Natasha (and everybody else, really), but it turned out to be just a 'ooh no everybody's hurt' moment.

Still, I did like the movie, especially since I can't say I was expecting it to be much better than it was. It pretty much met my expectations and stopped there.
