So we literally had an entire army of Widows, trained like Natasha plus Yeleena, Mileena and a god damn super soldier just sitting there doing nothing while the entire universe was under threat? And Natasha didn't think to call any of them? Thanos is the perfect excuse to call the calvary . The writing pissed me off
I feel like this movie should have taken place during the 5 year blip in endgame because the stakes would have felt more dire and Natasha would have an extra incentive to stop the the Red Room, it wouldn’t have made the movie feel so old because since it took place after Civil War
Actually that is a pretty solid idea. Have Black Widow taking place during the 5 year gap would actually give a lot of context to how the world was like during that time. A lot of the script would need to change, but Id like to see a movie take place during that time.
The main problem is, the movie acts as if we are supposed to care about these events after civil war, timing was missed. Scarlett Johansson desvered better
I'm surprised you didn't mention the fact that Natasha and her sister are talking about how they're trained killers in front of a cashier at a gas station.
@@allisterreilly2291 Let's pretend for one minute that man doesn't understand a word that they are saying. In the end, Natasha romanov is more famous than scarlet Johansson, and it's all over the news that she not only has broken the secovio achords but she has also attacked the king of wakanda. she is wanted worldwide!
@@strykerx24 Yea but he is one cashier worker who is just a normal guy there are plenty of reasons why this one guy would not recognize a avenger. And what if he did and understood English would you interrupt a convosation when there talking about being trained killers.
// THAT was disrespect to a fan favorite character and Scarlett Johansson. That BS "11 days" showed in the lack of quality depth throughout the movie. Seems more that the writers gave an overview instead of a detailed script, and relied on the Director to fill in the gaps. Kevin Feige wanted a detailed script, but for some reason Disney had delays them time restraints to finish BW so Yelana (lit'l BW) could make her debut and then had the audacity to use BW to boost Disney+ which DID piss Feige off (he almost quit the MCU.) Disney is beginning to do WB level BS decisions and I hope they don't sink the MCU to DCEU levels because some corporate suit wants to TRY to match Feige's fan boy genius. "11 DAYS"!?!.....is RIDICULOUS
All of this guilt about dropping a building on a child and wanting to wipe the red from her ledger.... Then Nat blows up and destroys an entire prison including its guards.
All for some stupid joke too. Writers showed with that one scene how much they don’t give af about her character or any of the new characters they’ve introduced.
Natasha actually committed mass murder and tried to kill a child. MCU: "What a fucking cool way to die." John Walker killed one guy who's a super soldier that was complicit at killing civilians and his best friend. MCU: "Die, you war criminal genocidal psychopath!"
I felt like this movie was 10% about Natasha and 90% about introducing Yelena since she got all the best lines and emotional beats. I also wanted a movie about Natasha and Clint’s infamous time in Budapest. It took me 3 tries to get thru this movie. Just awful. I did enjoy your video!
Thanks man glad you enjoyed, but I definitely agree. Especially on the second viewing I noticed they really did favor Yelena in this movie. Funny thing is that they still made Yelena make dumb decisions because the script was so bad.
@@SteveRogers0768 Hmm let’s see Doofenshmirtz: Evil scientist who was bullied,abused, and neglected by literally everyone in his life. His parents neglected him so much to the point that they didn’t even show up to his birth. He is a divorced parent who loves his daughter and always tries to keep her safe despite the abused he received as a child. He can only find purpose by fighting his enemy Perry the Platypus who is really his only friend. It only turns out Doofenshmirtz only wanted to be accepted and loved by people and wasn’t really all that bad. Dreykov: Evil screaming man.
I think the deeper problem is that we learned almost nothing of her origin. If I was the writer I would make it a dark R rated origin story about the horrors of the red room.
As a published writer, I can tell that if someone take less that a month to write a story, it's a sign that the story will be bad; like, doesn't matter how many writers made or how simple it is, take months to write it or will give a bad taste. It's recognizable in the final version of it how much work was put on it. Less work/effort = less quality.
The problem with this movie is that the first 40 mins were fine enough even though I personally would've preferred a movie with Black Widow and Hawkeye on their mission in Budapest. But when they rescued David from jail, the whole movie is downhill from there. I had to skip through multiple scenes at that point in comparison to ZSJL where I skipped though only the Lois Lane stuff and that movie was 4 hours long. I don't want to get started on the plot armor and how the worst thing to happen to a main character was a broken nose. The Taskmaster twist and the danger repellent twist was just really stupid for me at least and the end of the movie is literally CA:WS if Bucky was a girl and there were 20 other brainwashed super soldiers. This movie was ass and a 3.5/10 it would be a 1/10 but as I said, the first 40 mins was the best part.
I didn't skip through anything of ZSJL (although I'll be skipping the weird girl smelling Aquaman's clothes) but Black Widow is just an interesting and dark idea going downhill as each minute goes by, everything done by two companies that didn't care enough for it, wanted to retain a pg audience and set the lowest bar for the writer to be able to get the script in 11 days, it's ridiculous and lazy, definetly the worst of the MCU
Kevin Feige: how much experience do you have in movies? Do you know anything about comics? Indie filmmaker: well i don't kno- Kevin Feige: *YOU'RE HIRED!*
I agree with everything you said. Also, I forgot that Shang Chi and Eternals were a thing. I truly don't give a damn about the MCU or Disney at this point. Star Wars Visions does look interesting but I consider that its own thing entirely.
Glad you stopped by even after MauLer's very detailed video. LOL. I'm watching EFAP 150 right now and once I'm done (or some time in between parts) I'm going to watch his Black Widow video.
Honestly, I expected the MCU to fade out at some point, but I did not expect them to go into the dirt at 200 kilometers per hour and keep digging. Between the awful writing in the MCU TV shows and the VERY questionable moral messages in all of them (Loki literally makes the argument that genocide on an infinite scale is a good thing), topped off with black widow being a plot armored train wreck of a story, I can't be excited for a single upcoming project.
i turned my brain off an just mindlessly enjoyed this movie As soon as task master blew up black widows car and she survived up injured. This movie wasnt meant to be for black widow but to introduce yelaina that is why we didnt get budapest. That is why she stole the show. I always thought this concept for this movie after her death made no sense. And as of right now this movie is 100% skippable as it has no real effect on the MCU
The only way to do Taskmaster respect in the MCU now is by stating in the next product that this movie was not canon. Either that or having a Taskmaster from another universe who is well written.
@@Karascool Thor the Dark World didn't ruin Thor as a character it was just a boring movie. I think Black Widow is worse because it genuinely made me angry.
There are very few movies in the MCU that I find skippable and Black Widow became the #1 movie on that list. Im truly sorry this is Scarlet's and Black Widow's final movie.
Alexi was fun. Sure would have been nice to see Red Guardian vs Taskmaster instead of just cutting away from it. But hey Taskmaster wasn't really in this movie so 🤷♂️
Taskmaster would have been better if Taskmaster was so hellbent on revenge to the point she would mimic all the fighting styles just to defeat BW and make her more of a threat instead of turning her into a terminator. I would have taskmaster kill on of the widow family or turn BW mother into the Ironmaiden by horrifically scaring her face.
The stunt double for taskmaster looks way more fit for the role. And also they should make it where theres a taskmaster initiative or a backup plan in case drakova daughter fucked it up and reveal another taskmaster who is actually good
I think the problem was with the writers and director for not explaining whether they had some version of the super soldier experiment, in the game it says the widows have a serum boost
Great video. I recommend checking out Mauler's video on BW because he reiterates a lot of what you're saying and more. Overall, I didn't see it but I agree that we should have gotten Budapest with Hawkeye. That would have been dope and made Endgame hit harder. And also release it after Civil War or between Infinity War and Endgame.
6:20 I know I'm late to this video but Yelena could have also just written "this is urgent! take these to the Avengers ASAP!" or something like that on the back of the damn picture 💀
I love your videoes and I agree with everything you have said about Black Widow but I would have to disagree with your opinion about other marvel projects especially Loki because it was phenomenal and as for Shang Chi and Eternals i don't think they are forgettable especially Eternal's final trailer it has one of best visuals I have seen.😊
Thanks you so much for the support! But yeah for me it seems like that these movies and shows barely get talked about. At most for a week or 2 then are forgotten. I hope I'm wrong and these next few Marvel projects makes a big impact.
@@GIGio_Official I understand where your coming from on black widow, I was and am not that excited to watch black widow based on the trailers. I honestly think they simply waited way too long to make this movie. But I enjoyed Wandavision especially after watching it a second time, it was different and it finally showed a lot more of wandas powers, which I always thought were too subdued in the previous movies. On another note I think it is extremely hard to judge the MCU movies or any movies for that matter right now on ticket sales and buzz with the pandemic pounding the world the way it has and is for over a year and a half. A majority of people are still not willing to go sit in a movie theater, which is why disney said, Hell we got to make our money someway and debuting there projects on their streaming service just like warner bros. with HBO max.
Wait, the pheromones thing might be even dumber than we think. Couldn't Natasha just pinch her nostrils shut with one hand and just stab the dude with her other hand or something? She didn't need to move away from him or faceplant his table to overcome this "obstacle". Edit: is it possible the reason they cured Taskmaster is because they want her to become a future hero? Because if she's still alive, AND no longer evil, I have no problem imagining them trying to put her in a more heroic role in the future since she still has her cybernetic implants to copy people's fighting styles.
It could've been so much better, it's still watchable and sometimes entertaining but I watched it in theatres when it came out and i haven't had the desire of re-watching it since bc i think if i do ill like it less, they fucked red guardian, completely nerfed him and made him a retard so that the ladies would stand out, the only thing going for him was David Harbor's charisma, and don't even get me started on Taskmaster, just a mindless robot controlled by a chip that needs technology to be able to fight, the fact that taskmaster fought re guardian and red guardian barely stood a chance was laughable, and we barely saw their fight, it was always cutting back to the others, and why would Dreykov, a man that has an army of women assassins that operate undercover, why would he make his daughter a suit with man proportions, the actress that plays Antonia, which was totally wasted here, doesn't fit that suit, i dont think she ever whore it during filming, it was always a man, it doesn't make sense in the movie for a woman with her proportions to use a suit that bulky that she doesn't even feel, is she even comfortable wearing that thing, and why would Dreykov let taskmaster walk around in public in a flashy blue and orange suit with a skull mask, being everything but discrete, he's literally walking around in public with a tank, why would Dreykov let that happen it could compromise him and the red room, surely the news and police would pick up on it and consider it a terrorist attack or something, it should be all over the news why isn't it, these are probably my biggest problems but there are others, like Melina never being held accountable about all the terrible shit she's done, everything that the ladies do is glossed over, Antonia couldn't have stayed dead bc if that happened natasha would've killed a child, you know what would've been better, Antonia staying dead and natasha dealing with the consequences and try to forgive herself, also the editing in the movie is weird, the tone of the movie is weird, as per usual all the emotional scenes have to be undercut with a unfunny joke and so on, this movie was such a missed opportunity
You nailed it. If you turn off your brain the movie is tolerable, but once you put just a little bit of thought nothing any character does makes sense.
I'm still mad about the fact that it wasn't Black Widow origin movie. Yelena was very annoying, the plot was stupid, they made Alexi acts like an idiot and it was like Marvel can't make a movie without mentioning Avengers over and over again.
Scarjo gets bonus salary from the opening weekend like 25% ( not sure the exact no. ) of the entire opening weekend from theatres. Disney released in disney + giving them extra money through premium access , plus new membership and saves money through no cut with main actress and distributers which is a lot of money.
then Multiverse of Badness came out, then Love and Thunder came out, then She-Hulk came out, looking back on it Black Widow may be a trainwreck, but its not the 40 car pile up during rush hour when we all allowed blind people to drive that the modern MCU is.
Have you seen Loki? They said at the end that everything that has happened in the MCU up to that point was predetermined by Kang. So basically the MCU doesn't matter anymore. Endgame or any of the film, good or bad, doesn't matter in the MCU anymore. I don't understand how so many people are unseeing this. I hope you see this and point this out in some of your future videos. Subscribed!
Well in the comics Natasha and Yelena have a version of the super soldier serum. It is neither confirmed nor denied that they have it in the MCU. With that in mind look at what Bucky and Steve go through in the other movies. It is a lot more believeable that Nat and Yelena can survive this "bullshit" as you say. The rest I can't defend but I hope I was able to make the movie a little more believeable for you.
This was in my opinion worse than Captain Marvel because with her we had no attachment or care before hand, at least in the MCU. But Natasha has had so many years of buildup only to crash im this movie. Im certain this wasn't made so much for Natasha as it was for Yelena, to have another passing on of an older hero for a newer one.
Yeah I definitely hate this movie more than Captain Marvel, not sure if its worse, but what they did to Natasha's character in this movie was damn near criminal.
Taskmaster was probably the biggest sin of this movie for me. Could you imagine the possibility of Taskmaster fighting Shang Chi who is deemed the most skilled martial arts fighter in the MCU? Or even in the future with someone like Deadpool who, in the comics, is literally too insane for Taskmaster to copy. But no, instead we get a mute, throwaway villain that probably won’t even make a comeback
Wasn't captain Marvel the MCU's biggest disappointment? I actually thought the black widow wasn't that bad. I mean, it's bad, but not the worst though. However, I'm interested to hear what you have to say. By the way, I just noticed your profile picture kinda looks like Taskmaster's mask. A coincidence? I think not!
Well I would say Captain Marvel was expected to be bad, this movie was pretty hyped up for a long time and was supposed to be a better movie than what it was. You could tell from the marketing Captain Marvel was gonna be woke trash.
LOL. Yeah I didn't expect much from Captain Marvel so when it was bad I wasn't disappointed. Black Widow has been owned a movie for a long time, so when this movie came out and was bad is was more disappointing.
In order to be a disappoinment some expectations are needed captain marvel didn't really have any this movie did for years people wanted a black widow movie only for this to be what they got
They did Task Master dirty….. one of my favorite comic book characters gone to waste. I stopped caring about the MCU after infinity war but this hurts.
I wouldn't say the movie permanently ruined her character. It was bad, but it destroy her in other films. After all it was in Endgame where she quoted Hawkeye about not judging people on their worst mistakes. The movie was pretty disappointing though.
Nah this movie ruined Nat's character. Throughout the MCU Nat's story has been hinted to one of guilt and wanting to be better from that (wiping the red off her ledger if you will) and her bonds that she developed with the avengers. However this movie actively contradicts everything about her making her an asshole that neglected her family, killed hundreds of prisoners and guards and showed no remorse and even portrayed her as an idiot for most of the movie. Also the sheer amount of plot armour she had in this movie makes her death scene in endgame ludicrous and cheap. Dont know what you mean by endgame ruining her though. Haven't watched that movie in a while
Hope you respond back, want to know your opinion on this, I absolutely agree about Black Widow, well the movie, this would have been my idea for the movie, a clone of Natasha Romanoff awakens in the Red Room and while training, begins gaining memories of the Original Natasha and escapes the Red Room, and is now trying to get away from the Red Room and Taskmaster (Mel Gibson) who has been hired by the Red Room to hunt her down, and she's struggling with herself gaining memories of Natasha, and Clint Barton, despite knowing she's a clone, helps her discover who she is and what she wants to be.
I know I’m late but I just wanted to add. Why didn’t they just have Natasha and Yelena use their skills from the Red Room to infiltrate the prison to break Alexei out? That would have made more sense then just having a dumb action scene where Black Widow and her sister commit mass murder of those innocent guards who probably had families. It’s ironic that Joss Whedon wrote Black Widow better then the director of this movie, and he was responsible for Josstice League.
We definitely are in a low point for marvel. Personally, I enjoyed cap and the winter solider. Didnt watch wandavision tho and I dont plan to see this either. Waiting on spiderman
Watching this video, and Black Widow as proxy, 2 years later really shows how much of a waste using Taskmaster here was especially since we got so many replacment Avengers. Imagine a universe where Taskmaster wasn’t wasted here and was saved so that he could chalange Sam, Kate or even Yelena in a later project. He could copy the styles of Steve, Clint or Natasha depending on whose replacment he was fighting. Copying the OGs style and making the new hero feel inadaquate since this bad guy is better at replicating the OGs abilities than they are. Then they manage to beat him when they finally stop trying to fight like the OG and fight in their own style, finaly embracing their monicer fully and making it their own.
Tbh, I didn't like any Disney+ shows, I didn't like Loki too, I watched it weekly but when looking at it, the show and it's pacing is made for binge watching. Plus can u make a video on your views on the Disney+ shows?
I do plan on talking about all of them but it won't be for a while, got a lot of videos coming up so once everything slows down I'll get to them. But trust me I got a lot to say.
@@GIGio_Official sure, no problem but I just have one point that maybe you can use if you agree. MCU in the start built their main characters and used the supporting characters to explore and build up the main characters but now when the OG avengers are gone they're making more and more multi starer to build new characters even though the old ones are not that big of stars plus then they take on too much and can't balance it. For example the show Loki actually became about Sylvie and the trailers/teasers were completely misleading. And in black widow I wanted to see the kick-ass black widow but due to them wanting to establish her sister as the new black widow Natasha has to be dulled down. Wanda vision was used to build Monica Rambo but without any explanation she is able to get powers and do special stuff as if a chosen one. Now that the OG players are gone they need to build mega stars again not continue to build heavy groundwork for future MCU. When they try juggling too much they please no one. It's my opinion u might agree or disagree.
Why would Taskmaster need to be mind controlled in order to kill Natasha, Antonia should want to kill her because she dropped a building on her as a child.
The biggest problem I have with marvel right now is there doing stuff wrong. She hulk, moonknight, secret wars, secret invasion should have been a big screen movie cos of how popular they are as characters and comic stories. Eternals and shang-chi along with other smaller characters should have been disney plus shows to hype up the less established characters as they aint been relevant or done anything noteworthy in comics in a while and to show them of to gain interest in them, then make a movie of this established hype. Theres a reason shang-chi and eternals aint being talked about alot and got absultely destroyed by no way home in views in like an hour.
in my opinion captain marvel making nick fury loosing his eye to an animal with cat camouflage to make it look like a joke was the worst dissapointment in the whole marvel universe.. i mean nick was a badass serious character with an interesting mystery and they blew it up for people to laugh at it just like thor being fat and being asleep every second of the endgame was just as bad and so is hulk with banner personality... compared to these things black widow is nowhere close to MCU biggest dissapoitment
I get what you are saying, but I didn't expect much from Captain Marvel so it didn't surprise me when it was a bad movie. I expected the MCU to treat Black Widow a little better than what they did so that is why I found this one more disappointing.
This movie is terrible. I’m glad I didn’t waste money on watching it. I just waited for my favorite UA-camrs’ reviews. You know what wouldn’t be terrible? A plushie of your cartoon character. You should totally make one. I’d buy.
Should have been small scale and personal like The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy . The final battle scene was totally wrong for this sort of flick involving spies and assassins.
It’s weird how the movie Red Sparrow with Jennifer Lawrence does a better job at showing what a Black Widow movie should look like than the actual Black Widow movie. Even then Red Sparrow wasn’t the best and I didn’t enjoy it as much as I wanted to. Same with this movie. I really, really wanted to like this. But it’s just so far from what I expected that I had to literally turn my brain off to get through it.
man... between 11 days for the script and the character assassination, it all makes sense.. Why this movie is coming out now and has all these issues: To pass the torch to Yeleena. Imprint the "care" we had for her onto the newer, better, younger, abandoned, abused widow that lacks the 'ledger'. I would say ""well it wont work Marvel"... But..
I'm still highly pissed off by how they handled Taskmaster... my disappointment was immeasurable and my day was ruined. It maybe a cheap fix but I hope they use the multiverse to bring in a new Taskmaster that is better.
if we're going by the comic then natasha and the other black widows are also super soldiers of the same russian version of the serum that alexei is juiced by which is why she is able to survive things normal humans can't
The thing is, the mcu has had terrible writing for YEARS. For some reason people just keep giving it excuses, the kind no other media gets. So many other movies and shows get torn apart over every little thing, yet the mcu gets sunshine blown up its ass constantly.
15:21, While I had similar gripes with the film, Natasha's guilt over seemingly causing the death of a child during her attempts to escape the Red Room, as well as her failure to acknowledge or contact her adoptive family or the other Widows on behalf of the Avengers somewhat made sense, at least to me. Nat siding with Tony wasn’t out of shared guilt over the destruction left in the wake of the Avenger’s battles, but simply her “reading the terrain” as she put it, as she agreed with Tony that accord would be forced upon them if they resisted. She’s the only rogue Avenger not imprisoned because she had the foresight to know to play both sides and flee when it was to dangerous for her to stay, something this film expands on by having her practically given up hope on the Avengers, being a hero or having any real relationships due to having lost her chance with Bruce and then losing the team to politics, only to have her faith restored by this adventure with her old fake family. Natasha not mentioning the family or the Widows was precisely for the reason she let them go at the end of the film….so they could be free to choose their own path. Calling them in would not only expose their existence to the rest of the team and potentially to other parties should they work together, but it would endanger them, something I feel Natasha wasn’t willing to do even if there was even a small chance they could effectively help. Natasha being desperate enough to destroy a building with a child in it is just more of what we already know. Nat has a guilty conscience….or red in her ledger….from various horrible things she did as a spy and assassin…lying and killing in the service of liars and killers….but she tends to try to hide her guilt under that confident demeanor, which again, is nothing new and only something that started to be confronted in the first Avengers film and has been a prominent aspect of the character in most of the Avengers films. Her defending her actions to Yelena (as the movie itself is calling Natasha out on her actions through Yelena) is her trying to hide how guilty she really feels, something that comes out in the end when she apologizes to Taskm…*cough*…Antonia and Yelena. While this film was far from perfect, I very much agree, and even I didn’t expect to find anything worth defending in it until some time past. That or I’m in denial and just making things up to cope with the mess I watched.
Personally, I think that the biggest MCU related disappointment is Captain America Civil War. I know that it's a huge storyline to adapt to a movie, but my two major gripes with the movie are: A) Zemo's plan relied way too much on things that there is no way he could've predicted would happen, and in some cases, he manages to do things that are not well explained, or make the protagonists look like morons. B) The whole point of Civil War's event is the conflict between the concepts of Freedom and Security, and in the end of the movie, it feels like this core of the movie has been thrown aside, and for what? To decide Bucky's fate, even though it is known to all that he was brainwashed when he committed all his crimes? This was a serious letdown for me, because I had a lot of expectations from this movie. The irony is, since I had no expectations from the movie of Eternals, I actually enjoyed THEIR movie a lot more than what I felt while watching Civil War.
What a shitshow A Black Widow movie, set in the 5 year gap, and with the real Taskmaster as a mercenary for a better written Dreykov would’ve been so much better
You gave me a new perspective as to what I should expect when it comes to superhero films (considering I’m a comic expert), and I appreciate that because you indicate that it is imperative to UNDERSTAND the direction of the movie versus having a biased opinion of the latter being someone’s favorite character. SN: As for the plot “armor”, in the comics, Black Widow possesses enhanced durability. She’s on the same level as Captain America in almost every aspect with the exception being their difference in strength levels. Just wanted to share some insight on how Black Widow survived half of those events.

So we literally had an entire army of Widows, trained like Natasha plus Yeleena, Mileena and a god damn super soldier just sitting there doing nothing while the entire universe was under threat? And Natasha didn't think to call any of them? Thanos is the perfect excuse to call the calvary .

I feel like this movie should have taken place during the 5 year blip in endgame because the stakes would have felt more dire and Natasha would have an extra incentive to stop the the Red Room, it wouldn’t have made the movie feel so old because since it took place after Civil War
Actually that is a pretty solid idea. Have Black Widow taking place during the 5 year gap would actually give a lot of context to how the world was like during that time. A lot of the script would need to change, but Id like to see a movie take place during that time.
The main problem is, the movie acts as if we are supposed to care about these events after civil war, timing was missed. Scarlett Johansson desvered better

Yeah that was my reaction. Like it is actually ridiculous the disrespect shown to Natasha.
// THAT was disrespect to a fan favorite character and Scarlett Johansson. That BS "11 days" showed in the lack of quality depth throughout the movie. Seems more that the writers gave an overview instead of a detailed script, and relied on the Director to fill in the gaps. Kevin Feige wanted a detailed script, but for some reason Disney had delays them time restraints to finish BW so Yelana (lit'l BW) could make her debut and then had the audacity to use BW to boost Disney+ which DID piss Feige off (he almost quit the MCU.)
Disney is beginning to do WB level BS decisions and I hope they don't sink the MCU to DCEU levels because some corporate suit wants to TRY to match Feige's fan boy genius.
"11 DAYS"!?!.....is RIDICULOUS
All of this guilt about dropping a building on a child and wanting to wipe the red from her ledger.... Then Nat blows up and destroys an entire prison including its guards.
All for some stupid joke too. Writers showed with that one scene how much they don’t give af about her character or any of the new characters they’ve introduced.
True, Natasha has become not only an attempted child murderer in this movie, but also a mass murderer. God this movie.
Natasha actually committed mass murder and tried to kill a child.

Thanks man glad you enjoyed, but I definitely agree. Especially on the second viewing I noticed they really did favor Yelena in this movie. Funny thing is that they still made Yelena make dumb decisions because the script was so bad.

I think the deeper problem is that we learned almost nothing of her origin. If I was the writer I would make it a dark R rated origin story about the horrors of the red room.
As a published writer, I can tell that if someone take less that a month to write a story, it's a sign that the story will be bad; like, doesn't matter how many writers made or how simple it is, take months to write it or will give a bad taste.
It's recognizable in the final version of it how much work was put on it.
Less work/effort = less quality.
I couldn't agree more.

The problem with this movie is that the first 40 mins were fine enough even though I personally would've preferred a movie with Black Widow and Hawkeye on their mission in Budapest. But when they rescued David from jail, the whole movie is downhill from there. I had to skip through multiple scenes at that point in comparison to ZSJL where I skipped though only the Lois Lane stuff and that movie was 4 hours long. I don't want to get started on the plot armor and how the worst thing to happen to a main character was a broken nose. The Taskmaster twist and the danger repellent twist was just really stupid for me at least and the end of the movie is literally CA:WS if Bucky was a girl and there were 20 other brainwashed super soldiers. This movie was ass and a 3.5/10 it would be a 1/10 but as I said, the first 40 mins was the best part.
I didn't skip through anything of ZSJL (although I'll be skipping the weird girl smelling Aquaman's clothes) but Black Widow is just an interesting and dark idea going downhill as each minute goes by, everything done by two companies that didn't care enough for it, wanted to retain a pg audience and set the lowest bar for the writer to be able to get the script in 11 days, it's ridiculous and lazy, definetly the worst of the MCU
Couldn't say it better myself. This movie was an absolute mess. Natasha deserved so much better
Kevin Feige: how much experience do you have in movies? Do you know anything about comics?

Lol. Love the accuracy of this comment
I agree with everything you said. Also, I forgot that Shang Chi and Eternals were a thing. I truly don't give a damn about the MCU or Disney at this point. Star Wars Visions does look interesting but I consider that its own thing entirely.
Yo when I saw Star Wars Vision trailer my brain did a goddamn back flip. God I hope its good
This movie had cw level writing. Just finished MauLer's video on this movie and here I am watching another video tearing this movie lmao
Omg dude same

@@GIGio_Official you should appear on EFAP sometime. It would be epic to see you interact with MauLer, Rags, and Fringy.
Honestly, I expected the MCU to fade out at some point, but I did not expect them to go into the dirt at 200 kilometers per hour and keep digging. Between the awful writing in the MCU TV shows and the VERY questionable moral messages in all of them (Loki literally makes the argument that genocide on an infinite scale is a good thing), topped off with black widow being a plot armored train wreck of a story, I can't be excited for a single upcoming project.
I 100% agree. Like Marvel has really just sucked as of late. Its kinda sad
i turned my brain off an just mindlessly enjoyed this movie As soon as task master blew up black widows car and she survived up injured. This movie wasnt meant to be for black widow but to introduce yelaina that is why we didnt get budapest. That is why she stole the show. I always thought this concept for this movie after her death made no sense. And as of right now this movie is 100% skippable as it has no real effect on the MCU
Couldn't agree more. I even called this back when I made my first Black Widow video that it would be setting up Yelena to be the new Black Widow
The only way to do Taskmaster respect in the MCU now is by stating in the next product that this movie was not canon.
Either that or having a Taskmaster from another universe who is well written.
That would be goddamn hilarious if they said this was actually the first episode of What If?.
@@GIGio_Official
For all I care, the last canon movie was Infinity War.
Everything that came after that felt like it was in another continuity.
It’s sad to say… but I think we all know the mcu has passed its golden age
Unfortunately I think u are right.
We still have Thor love and thunder coming down the pipe. Also, the worst MCU movie was Thor the Dark World this was nowhere close to that bad.
@@Karascool Thor the Dark World didn't ruin Thor as a character it was just a boring movie. I think Black Widow is worse because it genuinely made me angry.
Shang-Chi was good.
@@Karascool Wow, now im left speechless how they managed to make Gorr a bad movie villain and Make love and thunder worse than Thor 2.
There are very few movies in the MCU that I find skippable and Black Widow became the #1 movie on that list. Im truly sorry this is Scarlet's and Black Widow's final movie.
100% agree. It is an actual disgrace to Natasha's characters
I feel like Eternals saw this, and went "Hold my beer"
Alexi was fun. Sure would have been nice to see Red Guardian vs Taskmaster instead of just cutting away from it. But hey Taskmaster wasn't really in this movie so 🤷♂️

Taskmaster would have been better if Taskmaster was so hellbent on revenge to the point she would mimic all the fighting styles just to defeat BW and make her more of a threat instead of turning her into a terminator. I would have taskmaster kill on of the widow family or turn BW mother into the Ironmaiden by horrifically scaring her face.
If anything was done with Taskmaster as a character it would have been better than what we got
The stunt double for taskmaster looks way more fit for the role. And also they should make it where theres a taskmaster initiative or a backup plan in case drakova daughter fucked it up and reveal another taskmaster who is actually good
Hey gio, I'm here at 9.61k subs ,,after 10 months and 5 days you would have reached 130k.
Alright bet! I just screenshot this comment. Let's Do This!
I kept on watching your videos and loved them for the last 2 months but right now realised that I was not subscribed so I did.
I think the problem was with the writers and director for not explaining whether they had some version of the super soldier experiment, in the game it says the widows have a serum boost
I wonder if Natasha could survive someone cutting her head off in this movie. LOL
Honestly she probably could.
Biggest disappointment? I dunno man, I’m sticking with Thor Dark World for that one.
Great video. I recommend checking out Mauler's video on BW because he reiterates a lot of what you're saying and more. Overall, I didn't see it but I agree that we should have gotten Budapest with Hawkeye. That would have been dope and made Endgame hit harder. And also release it after Civil War or between Infinity War and Endgame.
Thanks man, Yeah I'm catching up on EFAP and then I'm going to watch Mauler's video. Cant wait for my dose of the longman. lol
6:20 I know I'm late to this video but Yelena could have also just written "this is urgent! take these to the Avengers ASAP!" or something like that on the back of the damn picture 💀
I love your videoes and I agree with everything you have said about Black Widow but I would have to disagree with your opinion about other marvel projects especially Loki because it was phenomenal and as for Shang Chi and Eternals i don't think they are forgettable especially Eternal's final trailer it has one of best visuals I have seen.😊
Thanks you so much for the support! But yeah for me it seems like that these movies and shows barely get talked about. At most for a week or 2 then are forgotten. I hope I'm wrong and these next few Marvel projects makes a big impact.
@@GIGio_Official I understand where your coming from on black widow, I was and am not that excited to watch black widow based on the trailers. I honestly think they simply waited way too long to make this movie. But I enjoyed Wandavision especially after watching it a second time, it was different and it finally showed a lot more of wandas powers, which I always thought were too subdued in the previous movies. On another note I think it is extremely hard to judge the MCU movies or any movies for that matter right now on ticket sales and buzz with the pandemic pounding the world the way it has and is for over a year and a half. A majority of people are still not willing to go sit in a movie theater, which is why disney said, Hell we got to make our money someway and debuting there projects on their streaming service just like warner bros. with HBO max.
If taskmaster switched personalities with ultron it would be better
Hell if Taskmaster has a character it would be better.
I hear Shang Chi knocks it out of the park so I’m really excited. But yeah when compared to the larger MCU Black Widow is very weak
I really hope that's true. It would make my job of reviewing it a lot easier.
Wait, the pheromones thing might be even dumber than we think. Couldn't Natasha just pinch her nostrils shut with one hand and just stab the dude with her other hand or something? She didn't need to move away from him or faceplant his table to overcome this "obstacle".
Edit: is it possible the reason they cured Taskmaster is because they want her to become a future hero? Because if she's still alive, AND no longer evil, I have no problem imagining them trying to put her in a more heroic role in the future since she still has her cybernetic implants to copy people's fighting styles.
No on the movies it is explained that holding your breath isn't enough.
It could've been so much better, it's still watchable and sometimes entertaining but I watched it in theatres when it came out and i haven't had the desire of re-watching it since bc i think if i do ill like it less, they fucked red guardian, completely nerfed him and made him a retard so that the ladies would stand out, the only thing going for him was David Harbor's charisma, and don't even get me started on Taskmaster, just a mindless robot controlled by a chip that needs technology to be able to fight, the fact that taskmaster fought re guardian and red guardian barely stood a chance was laughable, and we barely saw their fight, it was always cutting back to the others, and why would Dreykov, a man that has an army of women assassins that operate undercover, why would he make his daughter a suit with man proportions, the actress that plays Antonia, which was totally wasted here, doesn't fit that suit, i dont think she ever whore it during filming, it was always a man, it doesn't make sense in the movie for a woman with her proportions to use a suit that bulky that she doesn't even feel, is she even comfortable wearing that thing, and why would Dreykov let taskmaster walk around in public in a flashy blue and orange suit with a skull mask, being everything but discrete, he's literally walking around in public with a tank, why would Dreykov let that happen it could compromise him and the red room, surely the news and police would pick up on it and consider it a terrorist attack or something, it should be all over the news why isn't it, these are probably my biggest problems but there are others, like Melina never being held accountable about all the terrible shit she's done, everything that the ladies do is glossed over, Antonia couldn't have stayed dead bc if that happened natasha would've killed a child, you know what would've been better, Antonia staying dead and natasha dealing with the consequences and try to forgive herself, also the editing in the movie is weird, the tone of the movie is weird, as per usual all the emotional scenes have to be undercut with a unfunny joke and so on, this movie was such a missed opportunity
You nailed it. If you turn off your brain the movie is tolerable, but once you put just a little bit of thought nothing any character does makes sense.
Ah damn, I initially thought Black Widow was good film. Gio's points are so valid.
This is the first video I've seen from you and your hilarious! Definitely subscribed! I love it lol.
I knew it would go all downhill after Endgame I don't see the MCU getting the same gas it did before
True. Nothing yet has been well written.
I'm still mad about the fact that it wasn't Black Widow origin movie. Yelena was very annoying, the plot was stupid, they made Alexi acts like an idiot and it was like Marvel can't make a movie without mentioning Avengers over and over again.
Scarjo gets bonus salary from the opening weekend like 25% ( not sure the exact no. ) of the entire opening weekend from theatres. Disney released in disney + giving them extra money through premium access , plus new membership and saves money through no cut with main actress and distributers which is a lot of money.
Damn that sucks for her, but as an outsider that lawsuit is hilarious.
Banger as per usual 🔥🔥👊
Thanks Bro! I shall keep delivering the bangers.
then Multiverse of Badness came out, then Love and Thunder came out, then She-Hulk came out, looking back on it Black Widow may be a trainwreck, but its not the 40 car pile up during rush hour when we all allowed blind people to drive that the modern MCU is.
You are doing a very good job! Congratulations! Keep going!
Have you seen Loki? They said at the end that everything that has happened in the MCU up to that point was predetermined by Kang. So basically the MCU doesn't matter anymore. Endgame or any of the film, good or bad, doesn't matter in the MCU anymore. I don't understand how so many people are unseeing this. I hope you see this and point this out in some of your future videos. Subscribed!
Well in the comics Natasha and Yelena have a version of the super soldier serum. It is neither confirmed nor denied that they have it in the MCU. With that in mind look at what Bucky and Steve go through in the other movies. It is a lot more believeable that Nat and Yelena can survive this "bullshit" as you say. The rest I can't defend but I hope I was able to make the movie a little more believeable for you.
This was in my opinion worse than Captain Marvel because with her we had no attachment or care before hand, at least in the MCU. But Natasha has had so many years of buildup only to crash im this movie. Im certain this wasn't made so much for Natasha as it was for Yelena, to have another passing on of an older hero for a newer one.
Yeah I definitely hate this movie more than Captain Marvel, not sure if its worse, but what they did to Natasha's character in this movie was damn near criminal.
"Alright Marvel, hit me"
Marvel: 👊 💥
A Budapest movie would’ve been dope
I Wasn’t excited for this Movie from the Trailers Alone
Taskmaster could possibly take down Batman if he observed his fighting style
That is something I'd love to see, what if Batman fought Taskmaster
Now I need DC vs Marvel just to see that.
Taskmaster was probably the biggest sin of this movie for me. Could you imagine the possibility of Taskmaster fighting Shang Chi who is deemed the most skilled martial arts fighter in the MCU? Or even in the future with someone like Deadpool who, in the comics, is literally too insane for Taskmaster to copy. But no, instead we get a mute, throwaway villain that probably won’t even make a comeback
This aged like milk since Eternals released
Wasn't captain Marvel the MCU's biggest disappointment? I actually thought the black widow wasn't that bad. I mean, it's bad, but not the worst though. However, I'm interested to hear what you have to say.
By the way, I just noticed your profile picture kinda looks like Taskmaster's mask. A coincidence? I think not!
Well I would say Captain Marvel was expected to be bad, this movie was pretty hyped up for a long time and was supposed to be a better movie than what it was. You could tell from the marketing Captain Marvel was gonna be woke trash.
LOL. Yeah I didn't expect much from Captain Marvel so when it was bad I wasn't disappointed. Black Widow has been owned a movie for a long time, so when this movie came out and was bad is was more disappointing.
@@GIGio_Official Makes sense.
In order to be a disappoinment some expectations are needed captain marvel didn't really have any this movie did for years people wanted a black widow movie only for this to be what they got
They did Task Master dirty….. one of my favorite comic book characters gone to waste. I stopped caring about the MCU after infinity war but this hurts.
Yeah the MCU has been suffering as of late from bad writing
I wouldn't say the movie permanently ruined her character. It was bad, but it destroy her in other films. After all it was in Endgame where she quoted Hawkeye about not judging people on their worst mistakes. The movie was pretty disappointing though.
I don't remember her being that bad in Endgame, but i think you can definitely judge someone when you try to blow up a child.
Nah this movie ruined Nat's character. Throughout the MCU Nat's story has been hinted to one of guilt and wanting to be better from that (wiping the red off her ledger if you will) and her bonds that she developed with the avengers. However this movie actively contradicts everything about her making her an asshole that neglected her family, killed hundreds of prisoners and guards and showed no remorse and even portrayed her as an idiot for most of the movie. Also the sheer amount of plot armour she had in this movie makes her death scene in endgame ludicrous and cheap.
Dont know what you mean by endgame ruining her though. Haven't watched that movie in a while
It would be better if task master actually had loyalty to her father in a chain to love sort of way
Yeah at least then she would be a character instead of a prop.
Hope you respond back, want to know your opinion on this, I absolutely agree about Black Widow, well the movie, this would have been my idea for the movie, a clone of Natasha Romanoff awakens in the Red Room and while training, begins gaining memories of the Original Natasha and escapes the Red Room, and is now trying to get away from the Red Room and Taskmaster (Mel Gibson) who has been hired by the Red Room to hunt her down, and she's struggling with herself gaining memories of Natasha, and Clint Barton, despite knowing she's a clone, helps her discover who she is and what she wants to be.
Underrated channel bro, keep it up and you’ll be growing in no time
Thanks for the support man! I can't wait to see our community grow.
Damn I remember a time when we just watched a movie for the enjoyment of it. Every movie ever made has inconsistencies in them
I know I’m late but I just wanted to add. Why didn’t they just have Natasha and Yelena use their skills from the Red Room to infiltrate the prison to break Alexei out? That would have made more sense then just having a dumb action scene where Black Widow and her sister commit mass murder of those innocent guards who probably had families. It’s ironic that Joss Whedon wrote Black Widow better then the director of this movie, and he was responsible for Josstice League.
We definitely are in a low point for marvel. Personally, I enjoyed cap and the winter solider. Didnt watch wandavision tho and I dont plan to see this either. Waiting on spiderman
I prey for Spider-Man to be good every day.
when will we see you talk about flash season 7?
After 2 more videos.
1. The Suicide Squad
2. Superman & Lois
3. The Flash season 7
Watching this video, and Black Widow as proxy, 2 years later really shows how much of a waste using Taskmaster here was especially since we got so many replacment Avengers. Imagine a universe where Taskmaster wasn’t wasted here and was saved so that he could chalange Sam, Kate or even Yelena in a later project. He could copy the styles of Steve, Clint or Natasha depending on whose replacment he was fighting. Copying the OGs style and making the new hero feel inadaquate since this bad guy is better at replicating the OGs abilities than they are. Then they manage to beat him when they finally stop trying to fight like the OG and fight in their own style, finaly embracing their monicer fully and making it their own.
Tbh, I didn't like any Disney+ shows, I didn't like Loki too, I watched it weekly but when looking at it, the show and it's pacing is made for binge watching. Plus can u make a video on your views on the Disney+ shows?
I do plan on talking about all of them but it won't be for a while, got a lot of videos coming up so once everything slows down I'll get to them. But trust me I got a lot to say.
@@GIGio_Official sure, no problem but I just have one point that maybe you can use if you agree. MCU in the start built their main characters and used the supporting characters to explore and build up the main characters but now when the OG avengers are gone they're making more and more multi starer to build new characters even though the old ones are not that big of stars plus then they take on too much and can't balance it. For example the show Loki actually became about Sylvie and the trailers/teasers were completely misleading. And in black widow I wanted to see the kick-ass black widow but due to them wanting to establish her sister as the new black widow Natasha has to be dulled down. Wanda vision was used to build Monica Rambo but without any explanation she is able to get powers and do special stuff as if a chosen one.
Now that the OG players are gone they need to build mega stars again not continue to build heavy groundwork for future MCU. When they try juggling too much they please no one. It's my opinion u might agree or disagree.
When is your review for The Flash Season 3 and season 7 coming?
Season 7 video will be after my next 2 videos. Get excited.
You deserve more subs
Thanks man! Love the support, I'll keep working hard so as a community we can grow.
Why would Taskmaster need to be mind controlled in order to kill Natasha, Antonia should want to kill her because she dropped a building on her as a child.
Along with Captain Marvel & the TV shows, we can pretend that this stuff is not MCU canon.

lol. True.
The biggest problem I have with marvel right now is there doing stuff wrong. She hulk, moonknight, secret wars, secret invasion should have been a big screen movie cos of how popular they are as characters and comic stories. Eternals and shang-chi along with other smaller characters should have been disney plus shows to hype up the less established characters as they aint been relevant or done anything noteworthy in comics in a while and to show them of to gain interest in them, then make a movie of this established hype. Theres a reason shang-chi and eternals aint being talked about alot and got absultely destroyed by no way home in views in like an hour.
ooh I'm excited!
Hopefully you will enjoy the vid!
in my opinion captain marvel making nick fury loosing his eye to an animal with cat camouflage to make it look like a joke was the worst dissapointment in the whole marvel universe.. i mean nick was a badass serious character with an interesting mystery and they blew it up for people to laugh at it just like thor being fat and being asleep every second of the endgame was just as bad and so is hulk with banner personality... compared to these things black widow is nowhere close to MCU biggest dissapoitment
I get what you are saying, but I didn't expect much from Captain Marvel so it didn't surprise me when it was a bad movie. I expected the MCU to treat Black Widow a little better than what they did so that is why I found this one more disappointing.
This movie is terrible. I’m glad I didn’t waste money on watching it. I just waited for my favorite UA-camrs’ reviews. You know what wouldn’t be terrible? A plushie of your cartoon character. You should totally make one. I’d buy.
Lol, Thanks man! I'm saving this comment, maybe one day when we get bigger we can have some plushie's. I would love to create that!
Should have been small scale and personal like The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy . The final battle scene was totally wrong for this sort of flick involving spies and assassins.
taskmaster got a sharingan
Thor Love and Thunder to Black Widow,
" Hold my beer". 😉
Couldn't even finish it b/c it was so bad. Mauler's review is such a thrashing. With the time you had, a good overview of its problems.
It’s weird how the movie Red Sparrow with Jennifer Lawrence does a better job at showing what a Black Widow movie should look like than the actual Black Widow movie. Even then Red Sparrow wasn’t the best and I didn’t enjoy it as much as I wanted to. Same with this movie. I really, really wanted to like this. But it’s just so far from what I expected that I had to literally turn my brain off to get through it.
man... between 11 days for the script and the character assassination, it all makes sense.. Why this movie is coming out now and has all these issues: To pass the torch to Yeleena. Imprint the "care" we had for her onto the newer, better, younger, abandoned, abused widow that lacks the 'ledger'.
I would say ""well it wont work Marvel"... But..
MCU's biggest disappointment
Eternals: Hold our soy latte.
Shang Chi was horrifically underrated
I'm still highly pissed off by how they handled Taskmaster... my disappointment was immeasurable and my day was ruined. It maybe a cheap fix but I hope they use the multiverse to bring in a new Taskmaster that is better.
Can you do a video on Civil War?
Civil War huh. Interesting Idea. May put that in my back pocket.
this hasn't aged well after the she hulk release
if we're going by the comic then natasha and the other black widows are also super soldiers of the same russian version of the serum that alexei is juiced by which is why she is able to survive things normal humans can't
I’d call the widow cure bug spray
Lol. Yes!
I was so disappointed in the direction the movie took after the incredibly chilling opening.
The thing is, the mcu has had terrible writing for YEARS. For some reason people just keep giving it excuses, the kind no other media gets. So many other movies and shows get torn apart over every little thing, yet the mcu gets sunshine blown up its ass constantly.
It's sad to see the MCU go from at least 75% of the stuff in it's phases being interesting to damn near being entirely left behind by fans.
15:21, While I had similar gripes with the film, Natasha's guilt over seemingly causing the death of a child during her attempts to escape the Red Room, as well as her failure to acknowledge or contact her adoptive family or the other Widows on behalf of the Avengers somewhat made sense, at least to me.
Nat siding with Tony wasn’t out of shared guilt over the destruction left in the wake of the Avenger’s battles, but simply her “reading the terrain” as she put it, as she agreed with Tony that accord would be forced upon them if they resisted. She’s the only rogue Avenger not imprisoned because she had the foresight to know to play both sides and flee when it was to dangerous for her to stay, something this film expands on by having her practically given up hope on the Avengers, being a hero or having any real relationships due to having lost her chance with Bruce and then losing the team to politics, only to have her faith restored by this adventure with her old fake family.
Natasha not mentioning the family or the Widows was precisely for the reason she let them go at the end of the film….so they could be free to choose their own path. Calling them in would not only expose their existence to the rest of the team and potentially to other parties should they work together, but it would endanger them, something I feel Natasha wasn’t willing to do even if there was even a small chance they could effectively help.
Natasha being desperate enough to destroy a building with a child in it is just more of what we already know. Nat has a guilty conscience….or red in her ledger….from various horrible things she did as a spy and assassin…lying and killing in the service of liars and killers….but she tends to try to hide her guilt under that confident demeanor, which again, is nothing new and only something that started to be confronted in the first Avengers film and has been a prominent aspect of the character in most of the Avengers films. Her defending her actions to Yelena (as the movie itself is calling Natasha out on her actions through Yelena) is her trying to hide how guilty she really feels, something that comes out in the end when she apologizes to Taskm…*cough*…Antonia and Yelena.
While this film was far from perfect, I very much agree, and even I didn’t expect to find anything worth defending in it until some time past. That or I’m in denial and just making things up to cope with the mess I watched.
3 movies has come out yet since Spider-Man:Far From Home
Black Widow: Disappointing
Shang-Chi: Amazing
Eternals: Not Terrible Not Good
It's an average movie. It should have been out in 2016.
Couldn’t agree more
Thank you
We this video was definitely made before Eternals. Eternals kinda took the title as MCU's Biggest Disappointment
That would imply there was expectations for Eternals
Personally, I think that the biggest MCU related disappointment is Captain America Civil War. I know that it's a huge storyline to adapt to a movie, but my two major gripes with the movie are:
A) Zemo's plan relied way too much on things that there is no way he could've predicted would happen, and in some cases, he manages to do things that are not well explained, or make the protagonists look like morons.
B) The whole point of Civil War's event is the conflict between the concepts of Freedom and Security, and in the end of the movie, it feels like this core of the movie has been thrown aside, and for what? To decide Bucky's fate, even though it is known to all that he was brainwashed when he committed all his crimes? This was a serious letdown for me, because I had a lot of expectations from this movie. The irony is, since I had no expectations from the movie of Eternals, I actually enjoyed THEIR movie a lot more than what I felt while watching Civil War.
What a shitshow
A Black Widow movie, set in the 5 year gap, and with the real Taskmaster as a mercenary for a better written Dreykov would’ve been so much better
True. I never thought about having this movie in that 5 year gap until people in this comment section were pointing it out.
You gave me a new perspective as to what I should expect when it comes to superhero films (considering I’m a comic expert), and I appreciate that because you indicate that it is imperative to UNDERSTAND the direction of the movie versus having a biased opinion of the latter being someone’s favorite character.
SN: As for the plot “armor”, in the comics, Black Widow possesses enhanced durability. She’s on the same level as Captain America in almost every aspect with the exception being their difference in strength levels. Just wanted to share some insight on how Black Widow survived half of those events.
