MCU: 15 Marvel Movie Moments That Pissed Off Every Fan

14. The Hulk / Black Widow Romance - Avengers: Age Of Ultron

Black Widow has maintained a flirty relationship with a few of her fellow avengers, like Steve Rogers and Tony Stark, but she never truly appeared interested in them romantically. This suddenly changed with Age Of Ultron, which reveals she has very intense feelings for Bruce Banner.

While Johansson and Ruffalo are both fine actors, even they can’t sell this improbable romance. They don’t have that kind of chemistry, and while logically you could understand the attraction –she feels like a monster on the inside and he literally is one – it feels way too forced, and fans weren't buying it.

The movie wisely backs off making them a thing by having Banner run off at the end, and hopefully the next time they meet they’ll agree to stay pals instead.

Handsome. Charismatic. Intelligent. Noble. Witty. I'm none of these things, but I'm a half decent writer, I guess.
