I knew you'd love this one! The only complaint for a lot of people was that it took too long to tell! The old misogynistic head of MCU Disney didn't think a woman could carry a movie. (Captain Marvel made over a billion), and they still sabotaged her. She had to sue in order to get appropriately compensated for it. Thankfully, they smoked him, and the original boss came back and let Kevin run the show, eventually.
This movie happens to be before the Avengers: Infinity War timeline. Natasha wearing the Yalena's vest in Infinity War. In the after credit scene, the woman was Valentina, the same woman who was recruiting US Agent in The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.
The best thing about reaction videos is that for all of you who watch (the MCU movies) for the first time others like myself get to revisit the experience and enjoy it all over again. I can't remember who saw this last but it's been long enough that seeing this again is a great visit.
Reaction channels are such a great idea. I remember trying to explain it to my sister and she couldn't grasp why I wanted to watch other people watch movies. She doesn't get it but you do, so that's OK. lol
Yeah, I agree, but I also really enjoy watching people watching stuff I like for the first time. It's great when people like the same things we do and I think we all naturally kinda want people to like the same stuff we like. Like when you have a really favorite movie or album or show or whatever, and you keep telling your friend or co-worker or family about it and FINALLY you get them to sit down and watch it and they're like "That was awesome!" and then they end up becoming big fans... it almost feels like an accomplishment or something lol Like you've helped convert another person to something awesome haha
40:52 Emme the vest Yelena gives Natasha, is what Natasha wears in Infiniti War and Endgame. FYI the SUVs that were chasing the family at the beginning was SHIELD.
@@MikeWood you are correct I thought she had finished watching Falcon and the Winter Soldier. This movie should've been watch after the show. I removed that part from my original post.
Yelena was such a funny character who really stole the show. Great performance by Florence Pugh. I really loved that end credit scene because it’s sets up one of my favorite shows to watch around Christmas.👍🎄❤️💖
Honestly they did Natasha dirty , it felt like they gave Yelena more attention because she was going to be "the next black widow", I like her but they should've given Natasha more focus instead of splitting it because she finally got a movie and it was not mainly about her😢
A fun fact: David Harbour revealed in an interview with Jimmy Kimmel back in June 2021 that he secretly took photos of the Russian prison set and sent them to the Duffer Brothers, but it was for good reason. He wanted to help make sure that the Kamchatka prison set and costumes in Stranger Things season 4 wouldn't be direct copies of what was used for this film.
The Crimson Dynamo is an actual Marvel character too. He's basically the Soviet version of Iron Man, just like the Red Guardian is the Soviet version of Captain America
Yelena’s “pocket” jacket is the jacket Nat is wearing during Endgame. The Widow program is all women. They are assassins and spies that frequently use seduction to achieve their goals.
To me this film is much better than "popular opinion" has it. I really enjoyed learning so much about Natasha's back story and Yelena is awesome! And I have heard some interviews with Marvel writers, and yes, they put in the dig about her having two families specifically because of you Emme!! Thanks for another great reaction!!
Emme : "Is that Courtney Cox? I think it is!" LOL!!!!! Said with such confidence and all the certainty you could possibly imagine. But considering the fact that you're a 90's baby, I guess it should come as no surprise that you din't recognize that actress.
This really was a standout movie bridging a gap between Civil War and Infinity War. Nice vest she kept too. Watching you figure out some things and then get surprised completely was a lot of us. And that car crash on the bridge was a jump scare for everyone. :)
You’ll see more about the black widow program when you watch Agent Carter. Please watch Agent Carter! Also that woman at the end is Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
On Hawkeye in End Game? Well one of his sons is named Nathaniel after Natasha. And while Nat joked about him being a traitor for being born a boy so not being a girl woulfn't be "Natasha" it did mean a lot to her. She would have understood and agreed with your point of view.
This movie is criminally underrated tbh. Yeah it's not top tier MCU, there's like some script issues dumb little things, but I think it's still a very good movie. In particular, the family dynamic was great, and am excited to see the rest of her family if and when they utilize them again. Yelena and Red Guardian are amazing.
The joke when Yelena called Alexei The Crimson Dynamo is really that there actually is a Soviet superhero from the comics called Crimson Dynamo. He wears a suit of powered armor, kind of like a Soviet Iron Man.
Yelena Belova is my FAVORITE new MCU character. She pops up in something else after Endgame and she's AMAZING in that. She is what the first Black Widow movie should have been in the MCU
Cate Shortland was inspired by films such as How to Train Your Dragon (2010), No Country for Old Men (2007), Thelma & Louise (1991), and Captain America: The Winter Soldier. She watched war films and those with armies and militia, imagining females in such situations to help convert them to Black Widow. Shortland also drew inspiration from combat scenes featuring female characters in Alien (1979) and the Terminator franchise, and he wanted the battles in the film to resemble "real fights" rather than wrestling matches. I loved the reference to Moonraker(1979) in this movie. Since 1987, I've been a fan of Black Widow. The opening titles, which featured a version of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit," were both unsettling and creepy. In 1995, I was 11 years old. RIP William Hurt. General Dreykov reminds me of a Bond villain.
Excellent, looking forward to seeing your reaction to Taking Chance with Kevin Bacon, Something the lord made with Alan Rickman (prof snape) and The Kingdom with Jamie Fox all great films
NO, Valentina was NOT played by Courtney Cox. It was Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who played Elaine on the show Seinfeld! She has also been in a LOT of movies and television shows! 😊😊👱♀👱♀👗👗👠👠❤❤
a year later, the Hawkeye series follows up on this (as well as introducing Kate Bishop), and Yelena, Red Guardian, and Taskmaster will all be featured in the Thunderbolts movie. and it looks fantastic
I still think Clint would have been a bigger sacrifice than Nat. Yes Nat has adopted parents and sister that care about her but Clint has a wife and kids that depend on him being there to provide for them
21:53 They kidnap little girls, train them and rip out their uterus so they can't have kids. They use women because they are much better spies because nobody suspects them. That is why Natalie is so good at getting information from bad guys (beginning of Avengers, from Loki, etc) because they don't consider her a threat because she is a woman.
The vest and the blonde haircut showed up in Infinity War because this movie is after Civil War and before Infinity War in the MCU timeline. Nat was on the run after CW, that's why Secretary Ross was after her in conjunction with the Sokovia Accord. At the end of the movie, when Nat boarded the Quinjet to go somewhere, it was presumably to meet up with her fellow Avengers who were on the run also hence the scene in Infinity War where Nat, Cap and Sam rescued Wanda and Vision from Children of Thanos.........
Fun facts: Emma Watson was first choice to play Yelena, but Flo Pugh’s performance in “Fighting With my Family,” earned her part And Crimson Dynamo is basically Russian Iron Man
It sucked that I couldn’t watch the movie in theatres since we’re in one year of the pandemic and I ended up watching this instead on Disney Plus on my phone. And Emme, this movie is set in the two year timeline between Captain America Civil War and Avengers Infinity War. Also, the post credits scene sets up for the TV miniseries Hawkeye.
This movie actually *did* get a theatrical release (movie theatres were opening up again with social distancing between the seats in some areas by that phase of the pandemic), but it was released simultaneously on streaming, and of course for pandemic-related reasons there wasn't exactly a lot of hype for people to go see it in the theatres. Black Widow was actually the first thing I saw in the theatres after they were allowed to open up again.
don't worry, that's what we all thought before we watched Black Widow. To be honest, I didn't even know it was a prequel, so I was convinced Barton was the one who was going to be sacrificed for the stupid orange pebble,
I think it was funny that Yelena named her dog after her sestra! I've often wondered why they didn't do an adventure from before she was with the avengers... I think it might have made for a really good spy/action thriller, in the vein that Olga Kurylenko (Antonia/Taskmaster) makes.... Also, in the movie Endgame, when they were asking about family, it was specifically stated that she did not have any family. Yet here, Hawkeye and she talked about family when they were trapped in Budapest. He would have known that at least Red Guardian and Yelena were still around, but unavailable. It is a shame that Fanny did not get the same treatment that Iron Man did, as they both sacrificed their lives to ensure that life in the universe persisted. Recall that Thanos was going to strip the universe down to the very last atom and start over.... Instead, she essentially got the same treatment as her biological mother did, except we know where she is buried. Also, Julia Louis Dreyfus plays Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine. If you've not seen who this actress is, she stars in Seinfeld, VP, The New Adventures of Old Christine, and was a cast member on Saturday Night Live back in the 1980s. She is a brilliant actor with the Emmys for receipts!
28:25 Crimson Dynamo is another Russian Marvel character, but he's not appeared in the movies yet. Well, that's not strictly true - Anton Vanko (seen dying at the beginning of "Iron Man 2") is one of the men who've held the role in the comics over the years - whether the movie version of him was ever the Crimson Dynamo has yet to be revealed. ^_^
I love this movie and I'm happy that Black Widow had her own finally, even if late. In MCU scale it's really dark. But the best thing this movie has is Yelena... Such a great character and I hope she is around for a long time.
Pretty sure this movie confirms not only did Captain America go back in time and live out his life, he carried out covert missions and went up against Red Guardian and probably Bucky as The Winter Soldier as well. I’m pretty sure Bucky knew otherwise he wouldn’t have told Steve “I’m going to miss you buddy” when Steve was only supposed to be gone 5 seconds. Bucky remembers everything. He has memories of going against Steve years earlier and probably couldn’t put them into context until he saw Steve about to travel back in time.
@@declanArdmore possible but that doesn’t explain how Bucky knew Steve wasn’t coming back. And it’s difficult to believe Steve would live out all of his days as a house husband while Peggy leads SHIELD and continues the fight.
@@NupeCity1993 I think old man Rogers is a skrull because it makes more sense for Steve to take Peggy into the future after her death than to live back in the 40's, Banner's last line in ENDGAME is " He went right PAST his mark"
Dog's name is Fanny, the undercover identity Natasha didn't want from her friend ( at the trailer when he was sleeping on the bed). This is how her hair is blonde in Infinity Was, with the vest! ( go re-watch it!) Please do not arm wrestle anyone, don't turn in the application form.
Nice bicep, such a show off. I definitely wouldn’t want to arm wrestle you. 😂 This flick got a lot of hate but it’s one of my favorite Phase 4 movies. Natasha is the OG and is great but Yelena is so funny, I like her even more. It was fun watching Taskmaster use her abilities, she can perfectly copy and heroes fighting style. She broke out a Captain America type shield techniques and emulated Hawk Eye with the bow and arrow. Perfect Mimicry is such a cool power. If I had that, I would use it to dance like a Jabbawockeez. I so want to watch you react to the Hawk Eye series where we get to see more Yelena.
I believe this did have a theatrical release, it was just made available to stream on Disney+ at the same time, which caused ScarJo to sue because she wasn't making as much because she only profited off of box office earnings so everyone that chose to stay home and watch it were basically just withholding money from her and she wasn't too happy lol
It definitely had a theatrical release... I know because I saw it in theatre. The release was delayed a lot since a lot of studios were just hoping everything would blow over, and it released on streaming simultaneously...
Black Widow was delayed multiple times while they tried to work out rules for theaters during Covid. It did get a theatrical release but it was released simultaneously on Disney Plus for an additional cost. This led to Scarlet Johansson's lawsuit with Disney because the move to streaming hurt the ticket sales in theaters. They ended up settling out of court. 😢 The villain studying the Avengers is Taskmaster who has photographic reflexes. Meaning the ability to mimic moves flawlessly. Hence the T on the shield. "Captain Russia" would be Red Guardian. He is Russia's version of a super soldier. 😅 Natasha and Yelena are not biological sisters. They grew up together as cover for the spying activity of Red Guardian and his accomplice who is also not his wife. The whole family thing was to help them blend in for their assignment. 😢 In the comics Crimson Dynamo was the Russian equivalent of Iron Man. How did they get the blueprints to Tony Starks armor? They sent a Russian spy to get them. Her name was Natasha Romanoff. 😮 The woman with the purple streak in her hair is Julia Louise Dreyfus of Seinfeld fame. She is playing Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontein a U.S. government operative and she is recruiting. 😮
This movie actually inspired me to reconnect with my sister/forgive her. We weren't speaking ever since our mother died back in 2020, and purchased relationship hadn't been on the best of terms the years leading up to that. So this movie kind holds a special place in this cold cruel heart of mine
You need to rewatch Avengers Age of Ultron. Wanda caused her to have flashbacks of her time being trained and on the table with Wheels going in to have the hysterectomy. Then later she tells Bruce about her not being able to have kids and they do it so it wouldn't damage a mission. She says to Bruce, you think your the only monster on the team.
The ONLY problem I had with this movie was the villain. Pheromones was just the most unbelievable thing I've ever heard. I love the movie, but that aspect was just whaaaa??
You have a magic hammer that only Thor can lift, and a man who turns into a huge green monster without dying and the thing you have a problem with is a pheromone lock? Hahahaha. Scientifically speaking conditioning, brainwashing linked to smells is far more realistic than many other things in the MCU
I would have loved to see Natasha's story earlier seeing Yalena looking at the picture pertains to the show Hawkeye which ypy need to watch to see Yelana again
I loved this movie sand I'm really glad Scarlett won her lawsuit and got her money for this film. Thank you for another week where I stayed hydrated, had limber legs and didn't end up in jail all thanks to your reminders.
Imo the idea for Black Widow and the all Women assassins may have come from the fact that, supposedly, a lot of real life special ops, and yes assassins have been women in the past. Women make the best infiltrators and killers. I don't know if that's really true, but it's kind of a myth, maybe a truth, that has gone around for awhile.
This movie was AWESOME! My next two movie reactions are up on patreon now! The first LOTR movie and also into the spider-verse! patreon.com/emmereacts
Yelena is the best of the new characters easy!! she gets better each time she pops up
I knew you'd love this one! The only complaint for a lot of people was that it took too long to tell! The old misogynistic head of MCU Disney didn't think a woman could carry a movie. (Captain Marvel made over a billion), and they still sabotaged her. She had to sue in order to get appropriately compensated for it. Thankfully, they smoked him, and the original boss came back and let Kevin run the show, eventually.
into the spiderverse? so excited
I thought it was pretty good but they changed taskmaster as a character too much
I think it’s a very underrated MCU movie. A lot of people didn’t like it but I enjoyed it, .. and Florence Pugh is a great addition to the series

This was one of my favorite phase 4 movies. I always liked the non-powered heros in the MCU. People like Hawkeye, BW, and Coulsen.
The CGI wasn't great though, or the villain.
Emme : "Is that Courtney Cox? I think it is!"
LOL!!!!!
Said with such confidence and all the certainty you could possibly imagine.
But considering the fact that you're a 90's baby, I guess it should come as no surprise that you din't recognize that actress.

His daughter is also one of the Russo brothers daughter in real life , Joe I believe.
Taskmaster was one of the best villains ever. Taskmaster also never learned how to swim. And that's why Taskmaster was hilarious.
This movie is criminally underrated tbh. Yeah it's not top tier MCU, there's like some script issues dumb little things, but I think it's still a very good movie.

"Those pigs are cute, I hope she's nice to them"... muhahahahaaaaaa
Yelena Belova is my FAVORITE new MCU character. She pops up in something else after Endgame and she's AMAZING in that. She is what the first Black Widow movie should have been in the MCU
Yelena and Florence Pugh's performance made me excited to see more of her and then I lacked the motivation to watch more Marvel stuff later 😅
I hope you had the motivation to watch Hawkeye especially around Christmas time.
Knowing how traumatized Yelena is by everything she's endured makes the scene where Melina tells her "Yelena, it's me. It's mama." hit really hard.
I totally forgot that young Natasha was Milla javovich’s kid
You should say Milla Jovovich’s clone haha
This did have a theatrical release. It was just also released on Disney+.

It definitely had a theatrical release... I know because I saw it in theatre. The release was delayed a lot since a lot of studios were just hoping everything would blow over, and it released on streaming simultaneously...
You are such a fun and interesting reactor, was very pumped as you continue your Marvel journey,
This movie was released in theaters. That's where I saw it.
Black Widow was delayed multiple times while they tried to work out rules for theaters during Covid. It did get a theatrical release but it was released simultaneously on Disney Plus for an additional cost. This led to Scarlet Johansson's lawsuit with Disney because the move to streaming hurt the ticket sales in theaters. They ended up settling out of court. 😢
The villain studying the Avengers is Taskmaster who has photographic reflexes. Meaning the ability to mimic moves flawlessly. Hence the T on the shield. "Captain Russia" would be Red Guardian. He is Russia's version of a super soldier. 😅
Natasha and Yelena are not biological sisters. They grew up together as cover for the spying activity of Red Guardian and his accomplice who is also not his wife. The whole family thing was to help them blend in for their assignment. 😢
In the comics Crimson Dynamo was the Russian equivalent of Iron Man. How did they get the blueprints to Tony Starks armor? They sent a Russian spy to get them. Her name was Natasha Romanoff. 😮
The woman with the purple streak in her hair is Julia Louise Dreyfus of Seinfeld fame. She is playing Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontein a U.S. government operative and she is recruiting. 😮
I like you're emme vibe :)
Someone help me out: Loki mentioned Dreykov's daughter in the Avengers. Is this the first since then we're learning about what happened to her?
I agree, bacon is great
I saw this in the theatre
emme is a fellow ohioan? hell yeah
Great reaction Emme. Just a quick FYI, If you go back to Infinity War, Natasha is wearing that vest in the movie.
Courtney Cox??? 😂😂😂
Can't wait for you to get to hawkeye
with the extra scene you need to watch the Hawkeye series to see what happens
18:55 You're watching "Falcon and the Winter Soldier" now. This part will make more sense after watching this....
Thanks, Emme! 🕷 I love this one, an exploration of found/chosen family... very poignant. #EmmeReacts #CateShortland #BlackWidow #BlackWidow2021
This movie actually inspired me to reconnect with my sister/forgive her. We weren't speaking ever since our mother died back in 2020, and purchased relationship hadn't been on the best of terms the years leading up to that. So this movie kind holds a special place in this cold cruel heart of mine
That's cool! I hope things are better for you now.
@testfire3000 It's a work in progress, she's got a lot to atone for, but she's also trying, so I will as well.
You need to rewatch Avengers Age of Ultron. Wanda caused her to have flashbacks of her time being trained and on the table with Wheels going in to have the hysterectomy.
Then later she tells Bruce about her not being able to have kids and they do it so it wouldn't damage a mission. She says to Bruce, you think your the only monster on the team.
Florence Pugh kinda steals the show on this one. I thought it would've been David Harbour, who's good, but it's Flo who stole it.
The ONLY problem I had with this movie was the villain. Pheromones was just the most unbelievable thing I've ever heard. I love the movie, but that aspect was just whaaaa??
You have a magic hammer that only Thor can lift, and a man who turns into a huge green monster without dying and the thing you have a problem with is a pheromone lock? Hahahaha.
Scientifically speaking conditioning, brainwashing linked to smells is far more realistic than many other things in the MCU
the HAWKEYE SERIES IS PRETTY GREAT NOW THAT YOUVE SEEN ALL THIS
I would have loved to see Natasha's story earlier seeing Yalena looking at the picture pertains to the show Hawkeye which ypy need to watch to see Yelana again
I loved this movie sand I'm really glad Scarlett won her lawsuit and got her money for this film. Thank you for another week where I stayed hydrated, had limber legs and didn't end up in jail all thanks to your reminders.
Right on time Sista!! Thanx for the upload!! I love this movie despite all the negative comments about it!! To each their own!! #Enjoy✌🏾💜
Imo the idea for Black Widow and the all Women assassins may have come from the fact that, supposedly, a lot of real life special ops, and yes assassins have been women in the past. Women make the best infiltrators and killers. I don't know if that's really true, but it's kind of a myth, maybe a truth, that has gone around for awhile.
Nice reaction 😊
da prison break was awesome ...
The crimson dynamo was the Russian version of Iron Man
You will like the father in “Violent Night. !”
