I dunno everyone antagonized everyone in that damn movie. Until they all came together in the end, Tony was basically on everyone else's bad side. He fought with Thor, argued with Cap, and couldn't get Banner to take him seriously. Then at the end they're all buddy buddy.
I don't think it's a leap to think that their interactions in the first movie led to some further development in the years between Avengers and Age of Ultron.

Haha. Come on. Do you also sleep with everyone you've carpooled with?
Is that the extent of their bonding? It's not like they saved the world together or anything. I'm sure all the Avengers are a lot closer after that.
So stupid that this is gonna turn into a ten page argument because people weren't paying attention.

That's your evidence. Seriously?
She was on an assignment and wouldn't be able to take him by force. Her entire M.O. is deceit and getting people to do whatever she wants them to. It meant nothing to her, she would have done the same thing regardless of who she was taking in (as we saw in her intro scene where she was flirting with the guy beating her up).
By mid movie, she still thought of Banner as little more than a monster. Loki made a passing reference: "No, you brought the monster" and Natasha immediately leaped to the conclusion he meant Banner. Even though the entire conversation prior was clearly showing that Natasha is kinda a monster, given the things she's done in her past.
You're obviously wrong since some of us actually saw the foreshadowing and now it's happening. LOL

Poor Hawkguy. Widow was even wearing an arrow necklace in Cap: TWS.

Moderate antagonism as the basis of flirtatious attraction is a total Whedon move.

Usually, he does this as a slow build up, though. BuffyXSpike took five seasons to get going, for instance.
This just seems really abrupt. And if it's real, it's a very "telly" not "showy" move, which is very unlike Whedon. We also have the fact that in Cap 2 she mentioned often pretending to be things she's not. If LR was right about the beginning of the movie, I'd bet that they've got the wrong interpretation there. She's playing him. Maybe using the romance as an excuse to be around him to keep tabs on him or something. I mean, regardless however much control he might have here, he's still a weapon of mass destruction, sitting around in one of the most populated cities in America.
But I'm almost completely sure this isn't going to be played straight. And the team will probably be in a shambles by the end of the movie... this would probably be a good way to do it.
Supposedly, a university in Norwich is doubling for Avengers Tower (notice the A logo):

I know a lot of school friends who live in Norwich and went to UEA. They're all geeking out on Facebook atm.
UPDATE: supposedly Chris Hemsworth, Samuel L. Jackson, Elizabeth Olsen, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Anthony Mackie, and even B.J. Britt (Agent Triplett from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) all appeared in costume in Norwich.
EDIT: Also, the Iron Patriot armor also made an appearance on set, but not Don Cheadle.

Whoah. I guess Tripp's gonna be a big deal in SHIELD season 2 if he's getting an Avengers cameo?

I hope so, I really like him in the show.
I'm also curious if they'll ever re-introduce Agent Coulson into the movies and interact once again with the Avengers team or if that'd be too much for the average movie-goer that they keep him designated only to the TV show and nothing more.

Also... Betty DOES exist in the MCU. I mean, TIH is still canon.
I bet Trippsimmons are going to squee so hard when they meet Steve Fucking Rogers. Fitz will be @ home sad in his bed though.

Samuel L. Jackson (Fury), Anthony Mackie (Falcon) & BJ Britt (Agent Tripp) on set = 3 black people though.
Iron Patriot armor means that are pushing for 4
And if Black Panther shows up any point in time... well someone better call the police.

Well, she was going out with Doc Samson at the time, soooo....
Also, Liv Tyler. She needs to never play Betty again.
I've always seen Widow and Hawkguy's relationship almost as a brother/sister type of thing
....
oh...hmmm....well, lets go with 'best friends type of thing' instead....

They never mentioned him before, but considering how Cap2 ended, and the B.O. it made, I would have been surprised and disappointed if he wasn't in it.
They already broke the rule of 3. Thats a certified gang
With a black agenda.
"Secret Avengers" confirmed.
Sam already has the dehumanizing stare of a thousand black people. More than enough to bring a man to his knees beg for black forgiveness
Stop and frisk to a new extreme.
23. Operating Power Armor while black.
Bleh with your overly judgmental crap. He's not ugly in any way. He's not the most handsome man on earth, he's just kind of a normal bloke. Not ugly, but not especially handsome either.
I think he's more towards the meh spectrum of looks, but he does have charm.
I lot of girls I know really liked him in Bridesmaids.

God's had his chance.
watch that scene again closely. She talks to him and he turns his head and you can read it in his eyes. If he could have said "Jesus girl i'm sorry but you gotta fuckin RUN now" any clearer without using words it would have been in writing on the screen.
Then he hulks out and runs after her sure.. guess what he doesn't do? Smash her. Smash her fuckin good and plenty. He bounces after basically knocking her aside like shes nothing - in the Hulk's world that's about as close to a loving hug as you can get.
They've kind of clearly set a line in the sand in this universe that when Banner Hulks out on purpose he has a fairly decent level of control. When he hulks out for any other reason ever? you need to just get the hell out of the way.
It's a miracle she made it out of that 1 on 1 encounter without getting literally eaten alive.
They gon smeng.

whoa bootleg gif. reminds me of one of the goats jamesfrancosogood from spiderman 3.
maybe this will have as much traction in the future.
This is not entirely accurate. He doesn't bounce after knocking her down. He was about to pounce on her when Thor tackled him through the wall. It's true though that that he did look sorry/concerned just before he turned, as did she when she whimpered his name. They gave each other extra long looks when then met up again in front of Grand Central Station.
Some people needed to see them fingering each other for this to be clear.
And now some account at deviant art has new material to draw. Thank you very much for that. You happy?
Also, just wanted to clarify that one for you.
