I'm kinda loving that there's a devoted Clint/Natasha faction writing all this lovely hurt/comfort fic on AO3 and ff.net. It seems like their unique dynamic has really touched something in people. And it IS very interesting, especially as the movie (and Natasha herself) stubbornly refuses to distill their relationship down to WUV. You *could* read them as tragically romantic, or as more of a brother/sister thing, and either one is plausible.
And Thor -- that's the crux of Thor *and* Loki's emotional journey through the movie, is Thor's desire to forgive and redeem his brother, and Loki's inability to *let himself* be forgiven or redeemed. Of course, because fandom is Bizarro World, I'm sure some people will find a way to twist this so that Thor is an abusive fuckhead and Loki is a woobie who needs healing cock.
