Marvel Cinematic Universe: 10 Plot Points That Needed Further Exploration

9. Barton & Romanoff's Relationship

hawkeyeblackwidow Clint Barton AKA Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) and Natasha Romanoff AKA Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) obviously have a history together. It is briefly touched upon in the later stages of the movie, but it should have been explored more so and earlier. When Barton is controlled and whisked away by Loki, Romanoff learns of him having been 'compromised' and immediately brings her 'interrogation' (which she had previously been hesitant to leave due to its importance) to an end. However, with no prior knowledge of the two characters' past relationship, the viewing audience don't feel her despair at his capture and, even later in the movie when it is mentioned, it isn't exactly deeply explored. Of course, this could be rectified in future movies but it would probably have been a good idea to understand how close they were before the events of the Avengers.
