      I gotta say. I love your fresh honest no BS takes on movies and pop culture. But during the opening moments of this video you said something along the lines of “one of marvels most beloved characters…” I read thousands of comics in the 90’s during marvels heyday. Black Widow was always more of a background character. She had moments here and there sure. But was never a major player. I feel like the MCU in this day and age felt like they needed more stronger female characters and when scarlet took the role of Widow and the writers didn’t totally eff up on her character, then all of a sudden she became this major presence. That she never was…
      I mean in the world of Marvel and comics in general she isn’t even a true superhero. She would be classified as enhanced. Thanos could have flicked a booger at her with such speed and force that it would turn her into atoms.
      Let that sink in. Because in a particle accelerator a particle the size of a grain of sand colliding with another similar minute-object can create antimatter. Or At least a big effing explosion. Especially since Thanos could throw objects at around re-entry speeds.

    They had an opportunity to make a really dark spy movie featuring Natasha. But marvel blew it with the typical whole save the world plot. It was really good in the beginning but then towards the middle I kept rolling my eyes.

    • @UhOhUmm

      I thought the beginning was a joke too. They tried to show that whole experience of a fake family and make it heartbreaking, but it was just strange and poorly timed.
      Overall this movie was written in the wrong theme. It should have been the Black widow version of Winter Soldier. A dark gritty drama with her learning that the program isn't over. And it also should have been more down to earth when it comes to effects, Atomic Blonde comes to mind.

    Is no one gonna talk about how they wasted taskmaster on black widow, AND THEN MADE HIM A MENTALLY 12 YEAR OLD GIRL WITH BURNS. In taskmasters first appearance in the comics, he goes up against all of the avengers, and almost wins! Taskmaster isn't even a black widow villain. For the amount of hype and advertisement it was mediocre.

      Beats me why they'd bother telling either story post Endgame. Anything having to do with Black Widow is something they should have done years and years ago BEFORE killing her off. The whole movie was pointless from the beginning even if it had been an origin story. And the people running the MCU knew it, which is why they gave the movie to a bunch of unqualified nobodies with no accomplishments. They made it to bolster the number of movies with a female lead and that's it. They didn't care if it was good or not, they just cared that it had a female lead, so why not hand it off to a bunch of nobodies who will work on the cheap cheap.

Do they live there permanently? How could that possibly be kept secret? Are they all mindcontrolled too? I presume not, since we’re supposed to feel no guilt about their deaths

      It seems that Kevin Feige has completely run out of idea's and decent scripts for the MCU.
      And as the rest of the Avengers has either been killed off or faded into obscurity, this sounds more like a mercy killing for Black Widow than a movie to do her justice. Feige is just tying up loose ends, as over the years many fans have begged for a Black Widow movie. And this was all he could come up with....

      The Widows speak perfect English because they’re taught it practically at birth. In Agent Carter, we see a scene with the Red Room spy, Angie, learning English from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The same might be true for the Red Guardian but we never really got backstories on the Widow and Guardian programs. Only people who read the comics know who and what they represent. The movie was as vague as possible when it comes to the Red Room’s origins and the Red Guardian’s and Melina’s early history.

    You missed the bit about "severing the nerve" to kill Black Widow's sense of smell, with a bunch of hand gestures suggesting that there's one nerve that controls the sense of smell that for some reason runs down the middle of your forehead on the outside of your skull. The actual nerves controlling your sense of smell lie on the inside of your skull (funnily enough) and it takes major brain damage to destroy your sense of smell. If Black Widow had hit her head hard enough to sever those nerves, she'd have lost a lot more than her sense of smell...

It would have made much more sense if Dreykov controlled his daughter the old-fashioned way: through grooming, manipulation, and the promise of revenge. It also could have set up Taskmaster for the Thunderbolts, but it looks like we'll get Yelena instead. I like the character, but I was hoping to see Yelena in a new Avengers team with Sam/Cap instead of joining the Thunderbolts (aka Marvel's Suicide Squad).

    What’s missing with the Black Widow movie
    1. darker tone, though they did that at the beginning. But it’s not enough. They could’ve done better. Ever Anderson is good though
    2. Back story of the red room training.
    Like winter soldier training the little widows and nat herself. And the psychological effects of the red room on Nat and Yelena.
    3. Budapest. What really happened right? How did Clint and Nat became solid bffs? That should’ve been covered…
    4. Iron Maiden or Melina should’ve been the main villain. Like in the comics. They destroyed Tony Masters aka TASKMASTER character. It was a waste.
    5. Alexei Shotstokov should’ve been Nat’s love interest like in the comics.
    Enough of the male hero body shaming.
    6. Ivan Petrovich should’ve been present in this movie. He was mentioned as nat’s father in Endgame. But why isn’t he present in this film? In the comics Ivan adopted Nat. And he recruited her to be part of the red room spies.
    7. THE RUSSO BROTHERS should’ve written and directed this film. Cate Shortland and jac schaffer had a lot of SHORTCOMINGS. The movie was so badly written.
    8. The film should’ve been released after civil war or winter soldier.
    It’s came a little too late for Phase 4. Don’t get me wrong I love Scarlett and how she played this character through the years but this movie was so late. A lot of us fans were expecting a DEEP DIVE of her PAST but we never get the chance to see what really happened instead we got a pixie dust and twisted stories. TO BE HONEST… It feels like the movie was a swan song, the origin and an apology. Basically overall it was confusing.
    I also hate the fact that Natasha was a secondary character in her own movie.
    Give this women her deserved Spotlight! I love Florence playing Yelena but noooo Yelena is bitchy, cunning and evil in the comics. They basically changed her. Changed her overall persona.
    MCU basically ruined Natasha Romanoff
    And now they’re moving on already with Yelena? Noooo she deserves so much better. I love Yelena and Florence but I hope MCU realizes the mistake they’ve done with this movie.
    Cate Shortland, Jac Schaffer and Ben whatever did an awesome job of ruining one of the greatest comic characters out there. Lols 😂 they should’ve hired David Hayter and the Russo Brothers instead.

    6:28 Medical person here. This is strange to me. In order to break your nose in such a way to where you couldn't smell anything anymore, you'd need to break the cribriform plate, which is located directly between and below where your eyeballs sit within their orbits, to sever the olfactory nerve as it passes through. The problem is:
    1. This would most likely lead to complete and irreversible loss of all olfactory function
    2. Any force sufficient to break this structure would probably also cause a skull fracture and/or an epidural hematoma and would certainly knock the person unconscious.
    3. Because the cribriform plate is a direct part of the anterior cranial fossa, you also would probably have cerebrospinal fluid leaking from the nose, followed by massive septic meningitis in the next few days as bacteria bypass the blood-brain barrier.
    I don't expect Hollywood screenwriters to have medical insight, but they should at least get someone smarter to proofread this stuff. Also, why not just pinch your nose closed with your hand and go grab a clothespin or something? I guess that would have looked stupid but probably better than fracturing your skull.

    Finally got around to watching this after long last. So on point. There are so many good themes they missed. The comics did a good job of looking at the Black Widow program, and how they could've worked that in. Or a humanizing look at the avenger's home life when they aren't away. They touched on those, and some were seemingly poignant, to immediately have to drop a stupid joke or kill the mood. The sister is talking about how she's crushed that her only "real life" was all fake, and how her "dad" only wants to talk about himself which is well done ... until they just squander it. Ugh this would have been a solid storyline (done better) to drop after civil war and before endgame to make it make sense. I think you said elsewhere it wouldve dropped where Captain Marvel came out which would have been so much better. Like too many other things - it's so frustrating to see the potential just squandered.

    The Winter Soldier was definitely not a pointless movie in the MCU at all, it is one of the best. It was a well-written, well shot movie and one of the most incredibly important ones, setting up Captain America's crumbling faith in the government that would ultimately cause him to side against registration in Civil War, and put him at even more odds with Iron Man.

      But Chinese people are on average muuuuuuuuch more conservative than the average American.
      Far most of them thoroughly dislike LGBT-rights, actual female empowerment (i.e. what we had before feminazism took over), and social justice. They don't give a crap about racial equality because to them being ethnically Chinese makes you automatically worth more than anyone else (unless you are a high-ranking celebrity).
      So pushing an SJW-agenda would be commercial suicide if you want your movies to appeal to the Chinese market.

It would make them much more formidable than a bunch of girls who don't even want to be there and just need some juice to set them straight.
    Really, what I had hoped for was a girl who wanted to be a mom, a wife, maybe an author or a pilot or something, and who was forced into a different life, tortured and manipulated but STRONG (did you hear that modern media?) enough to overcome it.

    I love how in these movies (and videogames like Tomb Raider) Siberia, being a region that encompasses like half of Russia, is always portrayed as this desolate snowy land of eternal winter and depression, with gulags full of dangerous babushkas guarded by bears with balalaikas&ushankas. Also I remember reading the Civil War artbook and in the chapter on locations there's an interesting passage about hydra base at the end that goes something like: "The setting was a region of Siberia...so we google mapped some 360 shots from Iceland"...Probably because when (if at all) they've tried to goooglemap Siberia they got themselves some cognitive dissonance and panicked.

    I saw this movie last night. The biggest problem with Black Widow is there's no set tone for this movie. What is this movie? Is it an Action Adventure film? Is it a comedy? Is it a dark spy thriller? This movie is all over the place. Black Widow is at best mediocre. The future of the MCU is not bright at all. All they have left is Spider-Man. Oh well, at least I saw this movie for free. (I would've been disappointed if I paid to see this movie.)

      Disney as a corporation has been soulless since Walt Disney himself passed away.
      However skilled creators have been able to do some good in the company as we've seen with the Disney renaissance and a fairly solid transition into CG. A lot of the marvel movies are good, and the infinity saga is a pretty strong and cohesive cinematic universe series.
      it's problems lie with the company behind these movies. Creators have their backs up against the wall. If a Disney property does well, then it will be monetised as far as it can possibly go. Just look at the hundreds of b-list straight to VHS sequels to the Disney renaissance classics. Who ever wanted to see Aladdin find his long lost father? With all this pressure to make a buck, the second a creator relaxes their grip it can instantly spiral out of control, as we've seen with the very rapid MCU change heralded by Captain Marvel and coming to a head with the Disney+ Marvel shows
