The sweetly chaste romance between Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter. If it's not period-appropriate, it's at least proper for the kind of films they're homaging. And while I'm sure internet wags will have a field day with it (no hate, if I thought up a good joke I'd go there too), I much prefer it to the "what a stud!" posturing of Green Lantern. (Come to think of it, they didn't much play up the "ale and whores!" aspect of Thor either.)

Nothing against ladies' men, but perhaps we can give the "I bed scores of other women but I really just want this one chick" trope a rest for a while? Since Sons of Anarchy actually had the hero "romantically" tell his lady love that he thought of her while he was inside other women; that's taking the trope up to eleven. Either let the hero be a genuine man-slut or at least swap the genders. I really want to hear a female lead angstily tell her man "Every time there's a pork sword inside me, I'm thinking of you!"

I thought it was nicely handled; one of the better comic film romances.

Incidentally, my ten-year-old cousin was under the impression that Peggy was Tony's mom.

I like that Peggy was clearly interested in Steve even before the Serum. It's kind of adorable.
