Re: Canon Couples You Would Have Liked If They'd Been Handled Better

Spock/Uhura

Spock's one of those characters where I really feel, given all his emotional hangups, you really do need to show them falling in love and him getting over that.

Otherwise it just feels forced.

Harry/Ginny

I liked Ginny a lot in the fifth book but in the sixth I felt like Rowling was beating it into our head how awesome she was and then she just disappears for the seventh.

Katara/Aang

Now, I actually really do love this couple, but I wish more focus had been paid to Katara's feelings. I felt it was a bit too Aang-heavy at times.

Bruce/Natasha

They're cute but...I really hate how the love story basically BECAME Natasha's story in AoU. There are so many other things I'd rather explore about her and I didn't like how the rest of the Avengers were used to prop them up. I felt it was cheap and lazy. Steve, Nick Fury, Clint's wife -- they all felt so artificial in their support.

Seconding Katara/Aang.

It never looked like they both felt the same way. Aang's crush was dealt with, but Katara didn't really seem to feel much beyond the fond feelings of a teacher/older sister. It made their relationship look like the usual "the hero gets the girl at the end no matter what". Maybe if he/she had asked the other on a date during the last season or something.

AYRT

Weirdly, I always got more of a sibling vibe from Katara/Zuko. I never really saw the mother/sister thing towards that a lot of people did but I do agree that it WAS a bit too much of "the hero gets the girl" because it just seemed as though Katara was so unsure. And I felt that that aspect was really, really underexplored.

Echoing BruceNat, but because I think that Bruce's story came to a screeching halt for the love story as well. Both of them were sandbagged by it, and it comes off as a greater shame to me for Bruce because he doesn't get as many crossovers as Natasha does. So while it's extremely likely that her character will recover from the awful writing/plot she was given in AoU, the Bruce fans in the audience are going to have to wait for Infinity War and 2018 to maybe get a silver lining for him.

True. Poor Bruce. One thing I did like about his story, though, was seeing his reaction to the destruction he caused in Wakanda. That was pretty good. But...yeah...the romance was just so LEADEN.

Also, they explained why Nat liked Bruce (whether you think it makes sense or not is another story) but they never really explain why Bruce likes Nat.

Now, I'm not saying Nat is unlikable or anything but they never really show what about her particularly attracted Bruce, which is a missed opportunity, IMO.

It annoys me sometimes because it seems like the film is just taking it for granted that OMG SCARLETT IS SO HOT OF COURSE HE WANTS HER. Which is kind of annoying to me.

OMG YES thank you for this

like, there is so much to explore there about WHY bruce likes nat (other than "boobs") - they could have done so much more with the backstory but they DIDN'T and i'm so disappointed ughhhhh
