Back from Camp

And woefully behind, so don't expect me caught up at all for a bit.

In the meantime, have a meme. Gacked from [livejournal.com profile] tielan:

Send me a ship and I will explain why I do or don’t ship it.

The fact that the movies went from Hulk scaring Natasha half to death and trying to pulverize her in the underbelly of the Helicarrier going to her being able to deHulk him, to suddenly romancing him was one step too far. I would have far preferred a non-romance in Ultron and just focused on the platonic love they have or else had Bruce be mentioned or appear in Cap2 for a cameo to give an impression that something was brewing behind the scenes. Or just flirting without being hit on the head with the "SHIP MEEEEEEE!" stick :P

The way Ultron did it was way, way too rough. BUT I do love fics that explore the how-Natasha-gave-Hulk-a-Lullabye dynamic (either shippily or platonically, depending on the author).

I just think it was easier for the movie people to make them a ship than recasting for Betty Ross' character (but maybe I'm a cynic)

I can talk my way around the new canon and extrapolate something that works for me, but let's just say the relationships handling fell into an X3-like box for me. You just had to go and do that, canon. You didn't even do it well.

If they had even done it more subtly, let the actors flirt like mad without overtly stating that the writer/director wanted it to be shipped a lot more people would have shipped it :P (They don't know how fandom works, lolz)

I'm not even open to Bruce/Natasha. Honestly, they're not a NOTP like Steve/Natasha for me, but even extremely well-done, well-developed, well-written fics haven't sold me on romance between Bruce and Natasha (though I love good platonic), and so I've given up. I thought something would eventually because of one good Clint/Bruce/Natasha fic that did sell me, but no one replicated it without Clint, so yeah, not even open at this point, barring a writerly miracle, which canon could simply never be in that medium. :shrugs:
