Did I write this in my sleep?

The impression I got about Budapest from the movie was that it was intended to be one of many missions that Natasha and Clint had gone on together, not an incident of relationship-defining importance. Sure, let's hear about Budapest -- but why can't we also hear about Beirut and Zagreb and Volgograd and Algiers?

But the Avengers fandom (and I think fandom in general; I don't think MCU fans are unique in this regard) tends to do this a lot -- latch onto a single line and run it right into the ground. Genius billionaire playboy philanthropist, anyone? A one-off example of Tony Stark's lightning-fast improvisational wit, not a catchphrase. (Unfortunately, improvisational wit is a lot harder to write than repeating the same line over and over, which I think is a lot of the problem.)

Whatever you do, don't mention that thing in Malta. Clint's a little less likely to shoot you on the spot, but Natasha still might. Amsterdam, you might be safe, but Malta will get you shot. Barcelona was fun, though.

Excellent. :3

ALL OF THE TRUTHERY!

On the plus side, when you find a good fic with character accurate dialogue that doesn't regurgitate movie phrases, it's usually a treat. And Avengers fandom has quite a few, even if they get buried under the glut of "POPTARTS!" (And I'll admit, in crackfic or silly arts, it can be funny.)

But yeah, the deep searching for the meaning of Budapest...I really just thought it was two friends throwing out some mid-battle snark, not commenting on something deep and sincere.
