Natasha's Origin Story Was Overdue! First Time Watching *BLACK WIDOW (2021)* [REACTION]

[@magicbrownie1357]

I liked this film. I know a lot of people didn't, but I enjoyed it. Florence Pugh, as usual, steals every scene she's in.

[@passionsquietrage]

I personally see no reason to dislike it.

[@Prince_the_One]

they pushed florence pugh because shes the next widow, but natasha didnt get the showcase all her talents as fully as they could have

[@passionsquietrage]

@@Prince_the_One Her talents were showcased quite a bit across the MCU.

[@ghostmkc4045]

It was trash in many ways from pacing to writing. The only thing that works is the casting of the family. Without that, i wouldnt care bout their future appearances. The change in taskmaster is blasphemous, nd makes the character generic villian when the character is a problem for many marvel heroes.

[@passionsquietrage]

@@ghostmkc4045 What if it wasn't actually Taskmaster and the person who is actually Taskmaster shows up later? Was the pacing too slow or two fast? The writing is decent at best imo, but it's definitely not trash.

[@asiaroberson3442]

Just remember this was after Civil War and before infinty War. Note Natasha's white hair in the end credit scene

[@ghstdnsr]

Also the vest she got from Yalena was the one she had on in infinity wars when they came to rescue Vision, She said she was gonna break a few of them out of prison and thats the phone call Tony got when he was reading the letter.

[@thomasguthrie4058]

Hahahaha the Task Manager 13:03

[@OzeroCa]

I loved the movie overall, despite a few logistical logic holes… but the version of ‘smells like teen spirit’ is friggin’ haunting.

[@lazerx1828]

You were thinking of Hayden Panettiere from the TV series Heroes. The sister in this movie is Florence Pugh.

[@SkidmoreTx]

They show some of her back ground story in Age Of Ultron and mention some of the Budapest in the first Avengers movie. If you’re interested in the Red Room there is a story arc in the show “Agent Carter”

[@ricardoortiz4870]

Depends on the part of the country. In the northeast we call them fireflies. I lived in Georgia for a long time so definitely aware of many different words used there and not other places. Same with my current city in Iowa. There are some good KZbin videos that talk about all the differences for parts of the country

[@SmokinDroFrayser]

Right on time

[@EchanteDante]

I know people hated this movie and I understand that the special effects weren’t the best but it was rushed during Covid after being postponed several times. ALSO I understand Taskmaster wasn’t as epic as he should have been from the comics. But for what we got of the character early on was pretty cool. Like that fight on the bridge. Also Florence Pugh is fantastic!! I fell in love with her in this movie!! They better make Yelena a core character going forward they would be so sooo stupid not to. I think sure this definitely could have been better but it was definitely not nearly as bad as people try to say it is. ALSO I HAVE TO SAY THIS MOVIE TRULY P*SSED ME OFF BECAUSE THIS JUST SHOWED US WHAT WE SHOULD/COULD BE GETTING FOR BLACK WIDOW IN THE MCU AND THEY RARELY FOCUSED ON HER CHARACTER ESPECIALLY DURING THE IMPORTANT EPIC FIGHTS…Aside from Winter Soldier, the beginning of Civil War, and the chair scene in The Avengers.

[@passionsquietrage]

I don't get the hate for this one, it was a good movie. The special effects didn't look that bad imo. This movie was made so we could have what we were supposed to from the character, she wasn't a fan favorite early on so it wouldn't have made sense to give her a movie at the time. Plus, her story didn't connect to the narrative the MCU was building until after Endgame.

[@jaredwiggins539]

Sure the Origin of this incarnation of Black Widow's Long Overdue but hey better late than never!

[@passionsquietrage]

I don't get why people didn't like this one, I thought it was pretty good.

[@c-mc]

Btw this was the last time that William Hurt played Thunderbolt Ross since he passed away in March 2022, they've recast him with *HARRISON FORD*

[@Blue_Eyed_Chippewa]

Dang from William Hurt to Harrison Ford. Like having Babe Ruth as a pinch hitter.

[@Danny_R_]

R. I. P 🙏🏻

[@DarthTingleBinks]

Honestly, I hate the recast. I understand it was necessary, but there are far better actors to cast in the role. And it's not that Harrison Ford is bad, he's just not someone I can see playing Thunderbolt Ross.

[@antoniumsolutions1791]

This movie was even better the second time I watched it. The relationship between Natasha and her family is so compelling and we had an awesome intro to Yelena. I love Yelena and hope we get to see more of her in the future. Florence Pugh nailed the little sister part....and the Red Guardian is great too.

[@stevenernst7163]

If you think back to Infinity War, Natasha was wearing Yelena's vest.

This movie has one of the greatest opening scenes to any movie in the MCU.

[@AntoineRideaux-wd1zk]

The girl who played young Natasha is the daughter of the actress who plays the main character in the original resident evil movies

[@ulricaandrae4381]

I’m so mad, Black Widow deserved a better movie than this and yes, it was way overdue. It’s like they changed directors in the middle of the movie. But it’s still entertaining tho.

[@roystoyscomics1361]

Black Widow is my favorite Marvel comic book character period. Even before Scarlet Johansson brought her to the live screen. Course, it didn't hurt either. 😂 Natasha Romanoff and Yelena Belova are not biologically related. They did not realize it was all a cover for their "parents" espionage mission. 😢 The Taskmaster has photo-reactive reflexes, meaning an ability to mimic any observed motion. So fight like Hawkeye, Captain America, Black Panther, etc. 😮 "The beacon is lit!!!". "And Rohan will answer the call!". 😆 The Crimson Dynamo is a Russian supervillain based off of Tony Stark's Iron Man armor. Much as Red Guardian was Russia's answer to America's super soldier program. Iron Man 2 had an appearance of Ivan Vanko who was a combination of Iron Man Villains Whiplash and the Crimson Dynamo. 😮

[@bug5317]

Glad you're making your way through more MCU. This movie was good but lots of fans were frustrated that Black Widow didn't get her own movie sooner like she deserved, so this, being a movie in the past we knew that she'd survive. The best thing was Yelena, what a fantastic character and the new Black Widow.

[@passionsquietrage]

She got her movie, why did it matter when she got it?

[@jxy8938]

The whole " being a movie in the past we knew she would survive cuz she died later on" is so dumb. Shes the main character of the film she wouldnt die anyway😂😂

[@hypersleepdialogues8889]

Taskmaster first appeared in Avengers #195 in May 1980. He was a former SHIELD agent named Tony Masters, turned world class mercenary, spy and assassin for hire. Taskmaster has a photographic memory, which he can use to emulate or perfect any fighting styles, attacks or movements he watches, including but not limited to the attacks and fighting styles of Spider-Man, Captain America, Hawkeye, Daredevil and many more. He opened his own school to train other supervillains in various forms of combat. He is a master of all firearms, swords, shields, bows, and demolitions, as well as being a master of many forms of martial arts. He is considered to be the most dangerous and formidable assassin in the entire world, rivaled only by Elektra Natchios and Bullseye.

[@jeffcrass79]

The joke with the Crimson Dynamo is the Crimson Dynamo and the Red Guardian are both two different Russian Marvel villains. Crimson Dynamo is sort of who Micky Rourke's character in Iron Man 2 was based on (Mickey's character was sort of an amalgamation of two Iron Man villains, Whiplash and the Dynamo).

[@blakefowler6749]

natasha was my favorite avenger I was heartbroken when she died but so glad they made this movie and loved your reaction

[@regstacks]

What a good reaction!! A funny thing about it? While it would have been fantastic in phase one, the cast is what makes it so special. I LOVED the family interactions and adore Yelena.

[@animatorFan74]

Yeh, Yelena's story leads right into the Hawkeye series from here (definitely check that one out). Valentina shows up again in Falcon and the Winter Soldier series and also Wakanda Forever briefly, and then Red Guardian and a few others all show up in Thunderbolts movie, which comes later. So yeh we see everyone again eventually. Would love to see more of Red Guardian again, hopefully he gets a lot of screentime in Thunderbolts. Fun Fact: The Crimson Dynamo that Yelena mentions in the movie (30:29) is an actual bad guy character from the comics who would fight Iron Man. Not sure if he'll turn up later in the movies? Glad you guys enjoyed this :)

[@krdragon6950]

[@CheGuevara-uf4pm]

Lighting bugs is what we called, the one thing i didnt like about this movie was the fact that they gender swapped taskmaster to a female which they didnt have to do because marvel has female villains that they could've put in this and they could've saved taskmaster for another project and really show how taskmaster gets down , taskmaster in this was a big let down could've been way better

This is my favorite corner of Marvel comics, and by extension, the mcu. Cap 2:Winter soldier, black widow, the Agents of Shield TV show, Black widow, Falcon and the winter soldier, hawkeye. After that, I'll take the netflix defenders and the punisher. And though I enjoyed the infinity Saga like everyone else, that was very surprising, because I don't like it when Marvel goes into space (exception: silver surfer).

I can’t wait for yall to watch the Hawkeye show. It’s so good!! And it made me remember how much i wanted a black widow movie earlier. She was such an amazing character

[@markfields5214]

I liked the movie, but it felt like a sequel to a movie we didn't get. I would have liked to have seen her and Hawkeye meet, and all that went down with that rather than them talking about it. They also took everything great away from Taskmaster. I don't mind them changing him to a woman but they took all his abilities away and made him basically a robot.

[@MrEthan80]

[@c-mc]

it doesn't matter at all

[@DToomer]

@@c-mc No, it matters. There are a number of projects coming forward where the characters & storylines come into play. It would be best if they watched before the first tease of Daredevil’s “world” is introduced. At this moment, they don’t need to dive deeper, just season 1. I’m assuming you’ve watched all the MCU project, please explain why it’s not important when, even as we speak, they’ve retroactively added the Netflix shows to officially be part of the MCU (even featured on the timeline & watch order). You know the upcoming Disney+ Daredevil series is a continuation of that Netflix series, right? It wasn’t at first but they figured “why reinvent the wheel?” Again, it’s best they start watching now.

[@c-mc]

@@DToomer no it's not, it's a soft reboot

[@DToomer]

@@c-mc you haven’t been following the recent trades, have you? After the strike, they went in & restructured the show, taking out the parts that didn’t seem to work, one major element was the “reboot” factor. Now, they are going to fully acknowledge events of the Netflix shows, making them cannon. You can find the articles online, the story is of the last few months. When they added Echo to the official timeline, they retroactively added Daredevil on there as well. It’s as much a part of their MCU watching as “Werewolf By Night.”

Fun fact Black Widow was married to this particular Red Guardian in the comics. There are a series of characters that have donned the Red Guardian uniform over the years. This Red Guardian was killed decades ago and Widow defected. But he turned up alive recently. The Red Guardians are usually a member of Russia's version of the Avengers. A second member of Winter Guard made a covert appearance in this movie. The big guy RG broke his arm has the same government name as Ursa Major a mutant that turns into a giant bear

This one was one of the better ones from phase 4, although I will say Ticketmaster was much better in the comics. What if is next but you can skip that and go into Shang Chi. What if is interesting as it introduces you into the idea of a multiverse. Shang Chi is a really good movie.
