  • Black Widow has FINALLY gotten her own standalone movie in the MCU which is said to take massive inspiration from Captain America The Winter Soldier which was directed by The Russo Brothers.
    But can Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow movie compete against Chris Evans Captain America The Winter Soldier, movie which is touted by many to be the best film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

      So I guess the question that remains is this;
      Of the two leading female Marvel films, which is the inferior one, Black Widow or Captain Marvel?
      To that end, which has the more lasting damage to the overall saga of the MCU?

Now, I do like this movie at the end of the day but The Winter Soldier is hands down the better movie. I felt more when Captain America was fighting Bucky because we've seen their friendship and how close they were. Natasha's only "bond" with Taskmaster is that she had to kill her to get a job done but that's it. Yeah, she feels sorry, but it's not as impactful as Steve having to face Bucky.

The First Avenger Steve started off as a loyal soldier doing what they said because he thought that was the right thing to do. Winter Soldier's story about survailence, government corruption, privacy and rights of the people. Civil War was about questioning the government. Tony believes the Avengers should be under government control because he believes the Avengers need Supervision while Cap disagrees because for valid reasons like the government being a group of people with agendas, to easily corrupt. Both sides have good arguments and extend past the movie into the real world. I would argue those movies have issues that really affect people's lives, I mean.

    One of my biggest problems with Endgame was how little anyone seemed to care about her. They mourn her for about three minutes sincerely, before ruining the moment with another Thorbowski joke. A few minutes later, they’re all cracking jokes again. Sure, she got a little lip service, but implicating Hawkeye in her death is going too far. And she wasn’t done justice in the 2 1/2 hour movie named after her. So I feel the same. Didn’t hate the movie, but it’s Winter Soldier/Mission Impossible lite.

    • @BIGDaddioJohnB
      @BIGDaddioJohnB 2 роки тому +1

      Same.
      In my oppinion I thought Banner/Hulk wouldve had an emotional reaction considering how close they were in Age of Ultron.
      In my oppinion HULK shouldve gone beserk and gotten angry...not just at the loss of Natasha but everyone else too...Vision, Loki, Heimdall, etc...afterall he IS the STRONGEST and so he would feel partially to blame for not being able to save them n stop Thanos when he had the chance
      I have a Fanfic where at the moment of Thanos's ship is bombarding the ground. Prof Hulk steps out from the smoke n sees all his fallen commrades and sees Thanos standing over them with a smile on his face. This enrages the hulk. Just then a great wave if anger takes over hulk n he gets REALLY MAD, madder than hes EVER been before.
      The Hulk leaps into the sky crashing into Thanos ship, smashing through the inside beating up the crew as he goes along. Then leaps up through the ceiling and then finishes it off with a Double Handed Seismic Smash.
      Afterwards he jumps down towards Thanos so he can get his rematch. Only this time hes much angrier and much stronger...so much stronger that Thanos has to take the power stone in hand just to get him off him and then just like with Captain plankface, he gets blasted away and is sent flying.
      This is good because it gives some meaning to Natashas loss
      It gives Hulk a 2nd chance fir gin to get his revenge.
      And it gives hulk something to do other than being wasted.
      And best of all...dont need Captain MarySue then.

      it was SUPPOSED to be a love letter n proper fairwell to Natasha, but it was SO BAD, it was more an insult to the character.
      IF it was done right and released years ago in phase 2/3 when it was SUPPOSED to be, then I have NO DOUBT it wouldce done better than Captain Mehvel. Afterall...unlike Brie Larson, people actually like Scar Jo. N unlike Captain Mehvel...people ACTUALLY WANTED her solo film...but NOT AFTER SHE DIED.
      The way the MCU handled BW is to me outrageous. Ut seems like tgey deliberately went out there way to di everything in their power to sabotage this film...from the delayed release, the bad script rewrites, and then finally refusing to release it in cinemas...all lead to the disaster that it was. And IMO it was all to protect their precious Captain MARysueVEL.

    I’m gonna go on record and say that the “pose” joke in Black Widow actually worked, but most of them were hit-and-miss, and the sterilization joke was especially in bad taste. But Black Widow takes way too long getting started (with a great opening scene), and yes it needed to come out after Civil War. Black Widow should’ve been named “Yelena”, because she feels like a side character who does nothing for the first forty minutes. I also would’ve preferred that we see a Hawkeye/Black Widow mission. The pheromone thing is so stupid, and the main forgettable villain does feel like a misogynist. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t hate Black Widow, but it wasn’t a worthy tribute to the character, and deserved a better story.

    Can you imagine if Scott Adkins played Taskmaster in Black Widow? His charismatic yet menacing presence would emphasize Taskmaster's dominance and personality, especially enhancing the intense combat scenes with Black Widow. Now, picture the Russo Brothers directing the film after Civil war, resulting in a darker tone, more deeper character development, and a focus on the Red Room with Pre-Taskmaster (Tony Masters) as their brutal handler/trainer for the Red Room, strengthening the relationships between Black Widow, Yelena, Red Guardian, Melina and Hawkeye in this movie.
    Under the brothers direction, Red Guardian would become a nostalgic Soviet-era fatherly hero, offering humor and a quest for redemption especially after being in confinement for years, setting him apart from Captain America who also felt lost after time has past (Ice and Prison comparison).
    I mean, the film could open with a flashback to the Budapest mission, showing Black Widow and Hawkeye attempting to eliminate Taskmaster, who was believed to be a deadly threat for SHIELD. This mission would establish Taskmaster's reputation as a formidable adversary and reveal the history between these characters.
    After the Budapest mission, Taskmaster was believed to be dead, and both Natasha and Clint carried the weight of their past decisions. This belief would haunt them, as they were never sure if they had truly eliminated the threat. This uncertainty would have left them emotionally scarred.
    This would make Taskmaster reappearance send shockwaves through Natasha and Clint's lives. Taskmaster's quest for revenge, driven by the belief that Black Widow betrayed him, would become the central conflict of the film. His mission to hunt them down would add an element of personal stakes and danger.
    Black Widow and Hawkeye would have to work together with Natasha's "family" to combat Taskmaster. (This would be interesting because Clint probably never met Natasha's family before Natasha joined with Shield, and would be interesting to explore.
    Taskmaster's supersoldier serum would be unique, more centered around mimicry and photographic reflexes, making him a terrifying and psychologically ruthless antagonist against Black Widow who would be outmatched in a fight against a supersoldier.
    Taskmaster wouldn’t be a mute either but an arrogant, terrifying, sadistic supersoldier with a need to prove his superiority to Black Widow.
    Imagine Taskmaster was more scarier in a Terminator-like role, relentlessly hunting our heroes. The film would then be filled with high-stakes chases, psychological warfare, and testing team dynamics between Black Widow, Hawkeye and her family especially if given something to do to ward off Taskmaster for a time. Finally, consider how Black Widow would win through strategy and emotional resonance, exploiting Taskmaster's limitations for a satisfying and intense final confrontation.
    I mean, imagine if the action scenes were any similar to John Wick and Captain America: Winter Soldier?
    All of these changes would collectively reshape 'Black Widow' into a darker, character-driven, and action-packed film, with unique character dynamics, an intimidating but memorable antagonist, and emotionally resonant victories for the heroes.

    They were both good movies , but Winter Soldier was better. The Black Widow just was too overwhelming,with what she was facing. Facing all those villains on her own not realistic. Plus I wanted to see a original story, not a follow up to Civil War. Instead it would have been much more interesting to see how she went from a assassin to a agent of Shield.

    I want to say, I was worried this was going to be a one sided review, seeing as how you mentioned Winter Soldier is your favorite MCU movie. You did give a fair assessment on both films. While I did enjoy BW, particularly because of David Harbour and Florence pew-pew, Natasha felt more or less a guest in her supposed origin film that as you stated felt like set ups for other characters. The Winter Soldier is a nearly flawless film, even if it was removed from the MCU timeline, it could be watched and enjoyed on its own. Black Widow, I agree should have came out after Civil War, coming out in 2020/2021 felt too little, too late and I really have no interest in owning it because Natasha already had so many great character arcs in previous films that her presence in this one feels underwhelming and wasted.

    Black widow's story isn't an espionage flick, it is a redemption flick sprinkled with a family sitcom. Natasha doesn't have an arc, she has a goal because that goal is fueled by her first arc of defecting to shield and severing ties with people she treated as family.
    Dreykov's daughter was mentioned by Loki in the first Avengers movie as one of the bits of red in her ledger she wants to wipe out.
    Dreykov chooses girls because girls are the easiest to kidnap and traffic.
    finally, a clothespin falls off the nose while severing the nerve is more potent in allowing Natasha to fight, she also tried to bait Dreykov into hitting her face so he could sever the nerve, but he wasn't strong enough to.

    I think this movie should've had a similar feel to Jason Bourne in the sense that it's an intense spy thriller with maybe a hint of horror. Obviously this movie should've come out after Civil War and before Infinity War. The jokes in the movie should be limited down to a few scenes between the family or Natasha and Yelena trying to rekindle their sisterhood.
    The idea I had for this film would is that the first act should've taken place over the course between the Avengers and Winter Soldier, showing how Natasha uses her connections at Sheild to try and track down where the Red Room is, and could maybe learn that Drakov was still alive. Then the events of Winter Soldier and AoU could hinder her ways of tracking it down. The second act could take place during the events of Civil War, she could be trying to take down the Red Room while also trying to stay undercover from the government. (We could even see some tech she kept ahold of like the face mask she uses in Winter Soldier and even in this very movie). Over the course of this Natasha and Yelena meet up after a while. It could be mentioned that Natasha thought Yelena was dead. Yelena's subplot prior to meeting Natasha could also show the ins and outs of the Red Room. We could get a better idea of how horrifying this place is.
    Also I thought the 3rd act would take place entirely inside of the Red Room facility. Natasha and Yelena are trying to get to Drakov and have to maneuver around the other Black Widows. It could have a claustrophobic horror movie feel.
    Even if this movie came out after Endgame with this idea, it could play with the fact that Black Widow herself doesn't change by keeping it as a spy thriller and letting the story unfold and keep us interested in the rest of backstory.
    Also I think the opening could've transitioned from Natasha and Yelena being taken as children to them being trained and before the title card we see Clint (Hawkeye) deciding not to kill her in Budapest.

And she’s a soldier essentially and has come to terms with it so even the way she was saying it was soooo similar to how I would talk about my trauma. It’s essentially a defensive mechanism to lessen the severity in our own minds.
    Idk. I’ve heard people complain about that and I love it.
    I think a lot of people that haven’t experienced major trauma want to be all precious and empathetic and say sorry. But a lot of us don’t want your pity. We’ve handled it. We just want to joke about it without making things awkward. So if you can joke back. It’s the best.

    I liked the film overall but the Taskmaster-Twist was a big let-down imo. I feel like Taskmaster shouldve been the son of Dreykov. Like have Dreykove have 2 children, one is the Taskmaster and the other is his daughter, Antonia. Dreykov having a son as The Taskmaster would be more interesting and instead of being mind-controlled, he is motivated by the cause as his father and will be more closer to the comics. As for Antonia, she could be the next Taskmaster after her brother is defeated in this film and this would set her up to be the main-antagonist for a potential Black-Widow sequel but with Yelena as the main-lead. Personally, I don't mind or care if they gender-swapped but this is the direction I would take.
