There isn't anything wrong with a movie romance, but the ones in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to date have offered very little - and phase two hasn't done much to rectify that. Thor and Jane Foster's relationship actually improved in phase two, but it still didn't really contribute anything worthwhile to the movie. It was Captain America: The Winter Soldier that hinted at an arbitrary romance between Captain America and Black Widow that did nothing but over-complicate things. Black Widow is already linked with Hawkeye and it is even suggested that she'll be linked with Bruce Banner in Age of Ultron - it makes you ask "why?" Why so many hints at romance with so many people? Marvel should either make these relationships more relevant to the plot or cut them out completely.
