Black Widow (Cate Shortland, July 9, 2021) Movie • Page 16

Like that's ever meant anything in comic related media

 

I’d prefer it to mean something. If I wanted my movies to have zero stakes I’d just watch the Rise of Skywalker over and over again.

 

it should mean something in movies that try to pretend like their continuity means something, which feige very clearly believes the mcu does

y’all can’t have it both ways where you act like “oh it’s just comics it doesn’t matter” but also “the mcu is the most important cinematic occurrence the last decade”

i realize no one here said the last thing verbatim but that’s the way these conversations here tend to happen repeatedly

 

Everyone in this aside from Johansson was great. Pugh and Harbour especially. Surprised at how much I wound up enjoying it despite being 110% out on Johansson forever (the above tweets accounting for the extra 10%) and beyond happy she’s no longer involved in these movies.

 

Notable characters that die should definitely stay dead (Tony, Natasha, Thanos, Yondu, main timeline Loki and Gamora, etc). I already didn’t like that they practically brought Vision back.

 

Man it's almost like I can't believe that the comic logic of "no one who'd dead is really dead" and "all the continuity matters" can't both be true at the same time, especially right when the multiverse is coming into the equation. Yes, I'd rather the characters who have died/moved on stay dead/moved on, but I also accept that it's almost inevitable that at least one of them will come back as part of some big event (more likely RDJ or Evans than ScarJo but still)

 

if RDJ and Evans come back for anything other than flashback stuff it will be extremely dumb too. i read the comics too. i realize that none of the deaths stick there. that very clearly is not the same thing that the MCU spent it’s first decade going for. if they build the foundation of this decade doing little things like that, it will be embarrassing.

also, like, you’re getting twisted up into a corncob over an actor saying they probably aren’t coming back bc they liked their characters ending … when that character is dead. you should probably do less.

 

I get that no one stays dead in the comics because they have to go on forever but even there I think it kinda sucks. Those characters had such definitive endings that they should absolutely stay gone for good. Same with Black Widow. This was a nice send off for her, let's just move forward.

 

Pugh was easily the best thing here. If anything, at least we have her going forward.

 

Like I’m actually looking forward to the Hawkeye show now that I know Pugh will be in it

 

Let's not get carried away here

 

I really loved her in this!

 

He doesn't deserve to breathe the same air as Florence and Hailee

 

Red Guardian Disney+ show when? I'm guessing we'll probably see him again if/when they make a Yelena Black Widow film.

 

Didn't like this much.

Reveal got me like

 

Excited to rent this tonight

 

David Harbour was great
Florence Pugh was awesome
Rachel Weisz is always great
Taskmaster was ehhh
Dreykov was laughably bad
Was Scar Jo even in this?

 

Pretty good movie! I feel like I enjoyed the first half far more than the second half, though.

Does anyone know how tf Natasha got away from Ross to break the rest of the avengers out of prison, though? It just goes from her turning herself in, to buying a jet from her friend

 

That's the plot of Black Widow 2.

 

fingers crossed Yelena just fuckin caps Hawkeye in the first scene of the show and the rest of it is just Pugh, Stenfield and Louis-Dreyfus hanging out

 

I liked this a lot. It’s mid-tier for me.

 

With the multiverse popping off I wouldn’t be surprised at all if we get Steve Rodgers showing up in one of these movies in the next 3-5 years.

 

I think Chris Evans will stay gone, but they could use a different actor and excuse it as being a variant

 

I feel like I remember him kind of dodging the “never playing him again” question a couple years ago but I could be wrong. Like he said something tot he effect of “never say never” or something but def possible I’m misremembering
