Iron Man 2: a question

[butterfly]

Skimming soundlessly through Iron Man 2 for clipping purposes and I noticed myself half-shipping Tony and Natasha based on their eye contact throughout the movie. Like, every time that I hit one of their scenes, I would find myself stopping and going over it again, just watching their eyes.

Is Tony/Natasha a thing that exists at all on the internet?

From the little I know of the comics, Tony/Natasha was a thing in the Ultimates line--he almost ended up proposing, only that Natasha ended up betraying him. But some people still ship them, I think. RDJ and Johansson had a lot of chemistry in Iron Man 2, more so than RDJ and Paltrow, IMHO. (I like Paltrow, but she rarely sells me on sexual chemistry.)

Ah-ha, I believe I have seen reference to this in the Steve/Tony stuff that I've been reading.

Yeah, the chemistry between RDJ and Johansson just ended up popping even more to me when I was watching with the sound off than when I'd watched it the first time.

That was one of the same issues I had with with RDJ and Paltrow. No sexual chemistry. When Rhodey describes their kiss at the end as "two seals fighting over a grape", it made me go, "yeah, it did kinda look like that". And I honestly can't think of a single movie I've seen with Paltrow where her sexual chemistry with someone has wow'd me.
