I noticed, save for Tony (the lucky bastard) all the Avengers love stories ended on a downer

Thor got separated by dimensions from Jane
Banner has to stay away from Betty
and Cap is years away from Peggy

And their lack of love interest seem like they should be a big part of the next step of each character's story.

How do you think they should handle the 3 or 4 love stories
 
I think they should save the love stories for their individual sequels.

But Im saying for a lot of them their love stories I thinkk are kinda important and cant really be ignored like THor's the whole reason he wanted to get back on Earth is to see Jane. NOw if there is trouble he'll put it to the side but Im still wondering how they'll deal with it
 
I think a love story between Cap and Black widow would be interesting
 
Sides all the other heroes can be or kiss their respective love interest from their own movies except cap, unless Peggy is still alive and in her nineties

Seriously, do you expect this to be a 4 hour movie? There's not enough time for it. It's more important to focus on how to get Thor back on Earth. Get Cap integrated into present time. Team building exercise when they snatch up the Hulk. Take on Loki and the worldwide threat.

I figure any love angle will mostly reside in Widow/Hawkeye ..... potentially with Cap/Peggy.
 
Did I say anything about a 4 hour movie?
I didnt even say how they should handle it? I was asking how they do it. Brief mention, minor role, cameo, etc.

I agree. As for Thor, a mention of Jane in passing would suffice. But with so many characters in the Avengers already, I think they should save the love interests for the sequels.
 
I think brief mentions are fine (and probably required for Thor once he returns to Earth), but probably not a good idea to set up scenes just for the love interests. Let each Avengers deal with it in their respective movies instead.
 
To be honest I'm tired of the love stories in comicbook movies, I think they should take a break from it and focus on other areas of the heroes personality or do what TDK did and get rid of the love interest halfway through the film.
 
It would seem weird, in Thor's case, if there is no mention of Jane at all in the film, IMO.

I can believe that once he's gotten back to Earth, he is completely absorbed in dealing with some crisis that prevents him for the rest of the movie from having a reunion with her. (Particularly, if it's a "save the world" or "save reality" kind of crisis, he would have to deal with it, because by extension he is saving Jane and the other friends he made during his movie.) But if that's how the movie turns out, then the last we see of Thor at the end should contain at least a statement of his intent to go keep his promise to Jane. Otherwise, it would just undercut the ending of his film.

But if that's all they do, I'd be satisfied.
 
Love stories aside,

How long do we see The Avengers being? I can see a movie close to 2 1/2 - 3 hours not being too far fetched. The Origins movies were 2 hours or a little more and there is a ton more story I feel in The Avengers that needs to be addressed and resolved if not partially resolved.
 
It would be nice if Jane had some kind of cameo. Like if Jane is not around when Thor returns the first thing he does is find out where she is & flies off to see her & just let her know that he is back & to explain what happened
 
Jane must be the one to bring Thor back. Thor ends on such a wonderfully feminist note. That smile just said that he knows she will find him. He trusts in her and her cleverness. He's the damsel in distress and the beautiful girl will jump start that rainbow to save him. (I feel I need to end that sentence with ...on a unicorn :p)

All it needs is one scene of Jane bringing him back and having a brief reunion. One kiss/cuddle before he has to go and help the Avengers.
 
In ULTIMATE AVENGERS - Betty was working alongside Bruce, that seems to fit. They could easily work towards that.

THOR - after the last movie ending really revolved around Thor trying to find his way back to Jane, it would just seem awkward if that's entirely left out.

IRON MAN - Pepper Potts now runs his company, if Tony swings by it'd be odd if she wasn't running things.

I don't know, personally I really hope they keep the universes from their own perspective films. There doesn't need to be a lot of depth to it. Just, like in the comics, if they go to that area of their life - it would be awesome seeing the WHOLE universe in it's entirety.
 
Pepper quit her job at the end of Iron Man 2
 
/\ Forgot that part lol, but still basically saying - it'd be awesome seeing characters from previous films beyond just the core crew. Just shows the universe functioning as a whole rather than seperate entities. Wouldn't be that hard, just instead of random characters being introduced - use the ones already in play.
 
I would hope, for just once, we can escape from the obligatory love interests and perhaps, our heroes decide to save the world because it's the heroic thing to do.

That's what I am saying ..... plus it would get redundant to have all the love lives in this movie. It would be like watching some rom com ensemble or something.

:huh:Isnt that why theyve been doing it. At least in the Marvel Cinematic Universe I dont think any of them decided to save the world because of their love interests

This is the perfect film to break away from all sorts of comic movie conventions and do innovative things, I think this is just one of them. Besides, if the threat is big enough to cause all these individuals to unite, what sort of time would they really have for that?

They can have Thor say something like. "When we're finish here I must go and see my love" OR at the end of the movie have someone ask. "So Big guy your going back to your realm now? What is it called...yea Asgard?" and have Thor reply. "No My friend. Now that I know Midgard is safe I must find my Jane"

The Logic being that it makes no sense for him to rush to rekindle his love if he knows the entire earth is danger. And it works within his character to since he sacrificed seeing Jane by destroying the Bifrost. So I can see him putting off seeing Jane for a lil bit till he help saves the earth

It's almost never entirely about saving the world (or whatever part of the world they presently happen to be at), the woman is always involved too...

Tony Stark, while obviously trying to stop Stane, was also racing to save Potts. In the sequel, he basically does the same thing, this time more literally.

Banner, of course, wanted to stop Blonsky, but he also had to save Betty in the process. Thor, who only met this earth bound woman for a total of like 48 hours, wound up having to save her from the Destroyer, but at least he had to leave to take care of some other business. But this only because he's from another world altogether, lol, in essence having to save two.

Cap at least had a love interest who could fight, but in almost every other situation, they find some way to shoehorn the woman into direct danger for the climax. Which was my point, it's almost never just strictly about saving the world, it's also racing across town to make sure one particular woman is ok. Every. Single. Movie.
