Apparently Vaughn and Millar are already working on ways to bring Colin Firth's character back for a sequel despite him being, you know, shot in the face. I'm actually totally okay with this.

Hell, I was expecting something like that to happen before the end of the film.

I took the princess-related scene at the end was that Hey, a beautiful woman promised me sex if I saved the world, I wound up saving the world. Having sex with a beautiful woman is more fun than not having sex with a beautiful woman, so I'm going to do it.

It would have been awkward/uncomfortable if the movie played up a romantic angle with whats-her-face, but they didn't.

That is the character's logic. But the character is not a real person - this is not a documentary, this did not actually happen. So the more interesting issue is why the screenwriter/director/everyone involved created this scenario. That is what the discussion is about.

I'm having trouble parsing what you're saying. The character might not be a real person, but the logic of that character's actions made sense for that character. Sure, the lady [spoiler]offering her rear end in exchange for saving the world[/url] isn't entirely realistic, but I think it works in the "Yeah, I can see someone desperately wanting to be saved dangling that carrot to someone".
