I'm glad it was acknowledged, and Yelena approaches everything with dark humor, so it makes sense that she would talk about it that way. I'm so excited to see more Yelena/Florence in the MCU!

[@akosbarati2239]

Especially if you look it through the double lens that is so common for Eastern European women today, and a factor of 5 during the Cold War. To an extent after Stalin (depending on where you lived as this wasn't so true for East Germany and Romania) the Soviets sort of allowed us to use the vehicle of dark humor to ridicule the powers that be to the point they allowed us. That said, underneath that surface, women had to contend with the limited education they received in anatomy, the hush hush battle for contraceptives from the '70s (while we don't have "lovely" faux clinics with preachers disguised as doctors and nurses most male doctors still resisted), these were and to a point still are viewed as "women's stuff" and through the machoistic attitude it's not something "men need to contend with". The bitter irony is that shooting the movie partially in Hungary you have a country that under Stalin demanded 3 kids from every couple, and nowadays even the highest in power can muse about "getting how women are tired after a day of work but so is the husband so they shall find the energy to serve him". A bit of paraphrasing here, but he did say that just a few months ago. So Yelena basically talked about the "unchangeable perspective" of women being viewed as second rate/disposable in an oppressive regime where they can't rely on men.

My argument to that is there wasn't a specific target in mind because of the snap. That was all coincidence and thus Ant man couldn't be involved he never had direct contact with Thanos tho Thanos did take his loved ones. It was random

Technically he wasn't defeated though, since Thanos never knew of his existence in the first place. Not to mention from Scott's perspective, Hope and her parents were only gone for maybe a week at most.

[@jurkajuk]

sometimes russian was quite bad tho. in one scene a soldier was screaming: "У неё пистолет!!"(She's got a pistol), when Melina was holding a f grenade launcher

[@akosbarati2239]

Because Google cannot differentiate between the umlaut on the E that makes it Yelena and matches it to the closest one. Also, if you may recall, Murder on the Orient Express had a similar twist with Hercule recognizing the letter N written in Cyrillic, and not H for Helena. If I recall correctly she too was Elena/Yelena.

This movie really showed me how people really focus (in my opinion too much) on the plot and dismiss everything else that makes a movie. The plot of Black Widow is pretty forgettable, as are the action scenes and the villain, but Florence Pugh and David Harbour's performance was AMAZING, so much so that this is one of my favorite MCU movies honestly. When Yelena talks about her jacket in the car, the way she emotes and delivers her lines, and the dinner table scene at the end when she breaks down, were simply iconic.

[@theemeraldepiphone644]

All the main characters in this movie were amazing. Natasha has always been one of my favorite Avengers, Yelena is easily one of my new favorite MCU characters ever, and Alexei was hilarious. I just hate how they did Taskmaster. I don't know who thought it would be a good idea to make a character who talks as much as Spider-Man only have one line. The choice to make Taskmaster Dreykov's daughter cheapens the impact of what Nat chose to do in order to kill Dreykov. Plus making her mind controlled and instantly forgive Nat takes away any consequences for Nat's actions, and her powers being an algorithm means that every Widow could have been Taskmaster but Dreykov chose not to because... reasons? This didn't feel like Taskmaster, it felt like Winter Soldier with control c + control v.

[@danielwalker-dcruze3084]

This does put a smile on my face

[@Techiejt]

that intro credits scene is so well done and really sets the tone.

[@toniodejimi3905]

Was waiting for this! I liked this movie and when I worked in the theater nearly everyone did. It’s all Internet people I promise. But please Mr Lee do TFATWS and Loki next, please!

[@theaj9097]

I really enjoyed the pacing of this movie. All the action scenes are short enough so you don't get bored, but long enough to pack it full of details.

[@tehanu99]

"Ok, well they´re at least on equal footing, and Tony didin´t have to fight his best friend for the honor." ........ No, he didn´t. But he gave up the chance to see his daughter grow up. I know for sure which one hit harder for me.

[@Gzilla313]

I saw it last weekend and can't wait for you to win Shang-Chi. The fight choreography is stellar!

[@silentspirit8923]

One of the best things about the movie is the jumpscares! I saw this in theaters and the first jumpscare made my family and I jump in our seats! I LOVE BLACK WIDOW!!!

[@uosdwiSrdewoH]

That edit after Yelena says "OK" to the helicopter plummeting to earth may be the funniest thing in any Marvel film. It's so unexpected.

2:15 Wow, Twilight Sparkle really nailed that time travel spell. She got back 25 years before her creation.

[@yujuswifebecauseshesveryfr9414]

Literally bothered me so much lmao

[@cattameme]

I like how they show the bags around Nats eyes in some scenes. Showing the effect of losing her friends has had.

[@ldstof]

Remember when they wanted taskmaster to be "le stronk female" so they got a pretty good actress for fighting but realised how weird she looks in frame so every scene with taskmaster fighting is actually a guy. Bravo Disney

[@Lilliaace]

I feel like I'm one of the few people that genuinely enjoyed black widow. I am adopted from Russia so I always felt like I really liked Natasha's character.

[@maesolug7380]

5:52 Man, even your roasts are weirdly wholesome. Like, yeah, some people, like me, go to Cinemasins videos just to watch a short version of the movie.

[@blazingscythe9463]

4:11 What I really appreciated here is that they didn't just use the old footage from Civil War here but gave us a bird's eye/satellite view, since there obv weren't any cameras around. So many movies just use old footage so mad props to them.

I think Rachel Weisz would have been perfect for Nat. She hasn’t aged in years, she showed through this movie that she can DO the demanding stunts, and honestly, she feels more like the Black Widow than ScarJo.

[@TheGoldenDuckling]

Me and my sisters watch this in a theater with no one else! It was awesome!!

[@BackSet]

The worst part about that roof scene is how they made it (either by camera angles or special effects I don't know) so the water reflects the sky perfectly and it looks like there's nothing but an endless abyss of sky below them (that's actually what I thought it was until they actually fell even though that makes no sense). I don't usually do too bad with heights but that legitimately gave me vertigo.

[@elhopper3735]

So glad you’re doing Black Widow. I thought the movie was great and Florence Pugh totally stole the show. Can’t wait to see her in other Marvel projects!

[@thesparks00]

I think the personality of the youngest siblings always take the cake anywhen. The family pays the attention to them, and SO DO WE!

Scott Lang (Ant-Man) *just can't catch a break when it comes to his superhero name.*

Florence Pugh is ALWAYS A WIN!!! Now do Fighting with my Family! Or Father of the Bride Part 3(ish), that one wouldn't take long.

[@forrestcoleman2700]

Personally I think the opening credits with the cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit is the best scene in the movie. Works as a aging montage and it *hits* you. It’s powerful.

[@TarynM716]

When Yelena pulled the knife on Nat, I was like “ yeah, that’s something I would do. “ it’s just such a little sister thing. Like that would’ve been my sister and I if we were trained assassins.

[@vixieboo_]

I loved this movie, my biggest gripe with it is the disservice to taskmaster, and the fact this movie didn't come out in 2016 D:

[@an-animal-lover]

Agree on both points. The "post Civil War fugitive moments" with Ross felt out of place and jarring

[@TimeCircleBlue]

Taskmasters whole appearance in this movie gave me Halo Spartan Vibes. The whole expendable super-spy/soldier thing too. But the S-III program gets a leg up because of the “trading lives for time” thing while Drakov just does it for the hell of it it seems.

[@indigenousicestaff7178]

Would you ever consider doing the planet of the apes trilogy. Rise/Dawn/War. All amazing movies with great performance from Andy Serkis.

[@gritzyiii]

I too twigged on Olga in the credits and immediately knew who she was. That being said, it made me excited about the future of Taskmaster after I had heard (and later saw for myself) that they don't say a damn word the whole movie, which does the comic fan favorite a disservice. The excitement comes from the hope that they don't hire Olga for a one-off mask reveal, they hire her cause she can definitely hit that personality from the comics and I hope that's their intention in subsequent movies (where she opens a school to train henchmen and gets beers with Deadpool and Wolvie, sometimes).

[@werjobs8350]

I think i wouldve much rathered a deep dive into this whole taking young girls and making them spies and how nat decided to get out and how she did it rather than this doomsday scenario it feels like they kind of dreamt up. Could be personal opinion but i think i wouldve enjoyed it much more.

[@Gambit20021]

IM GONNA CRY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

[@AutumnWoodham]

"Yeah, I know she's not a mutant in this one." Was Taskmaster ever a mutant? Last I checked, in the comics he's just some guy with photographic reflexes, which is just as much a mutant power as being really good at chess.

[@Nickolie216]

"Taskmaster injected himself with SS-Hauptsturmführer Horst Gorscht's primer, an elaborate modification of the adrenal steroid cortisol designed to unlock the mind's procedural memory potential. " Not a mutant, but not just normal.

[@generalilbis]

Comics Taskmaster is a "mutate" like Spider-man...someone who's biology was modified after birth to give them powers. Pretty sure Daredevil is one too, as well.

[@averymerrick]

Fridge brillance: Alexei's stories about fighting Captain America are seemingly treated as him making up stories. But the revelations of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier about further super soldier experiments, it's possible Alexei wasn't lying and actually did fight another American super soldier fighting as Captain America (possibly William Nasland or William Burnside). In fact, Steve Rogers slept through the entire Cold War.

[@Z--..]

They didnt take the feminity out of her walk, the stunt double was a man and he did all the scenes where Taskmaster has a mask. Which is very funny since Taskmaster is a man in the comics and they gender bended him just to have a man play him the entire time anyway
