Love your thoughts on Natasha. I've definitely noticed her exceptional reaction to Hulk and been puzzling over why. It's turning up a lot in a WIP I have going, and I haven't settled on what my take will be yet. The idea that it's because his strength is something she can't take from him is an interesting explanation, and does run parallel to some of the things I've been musing on.
Also, re: your comments about the polarization of American politics. Agreed, and as an American, it disgusts me. I can only speak for myself, but I despise all the election crap going on - I always do, but even more so this time around, when they're barely even touching the issues and just trying not to look like the other guy. Though personally I'm well over to the liberal side, all I want is for people on both sides to figure out how to talk to each other with respect and actually make progress. They do want some of the same things, but they're so busy fighting to the death they'll never admit it and figure out how to find a middle ground between their opposite approaches. Surviving an election year always just makes me want to move somewhere else and be done with the whole thing. *sigh* But talking about politics always makes me depressed/exasperated, so enough of that.
