Black Widow Pitch Meeting

Step inside the pitch meeting that led to Black Widow!
Subscribe for more Pitch Meetings: goo.gl/ho3Hg6
Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow has been in the MCU for multiple movies since her debut in Iron Man 2 many years ago. While other characters have had the chance to shine in multiple solo outings, Natasha Romanoff was never given the opportunity to take the reins in a big screen adventure of her own. Until now… Several years after the character’s on-screen death. Better late than neveR?
Black Widow definitely raises some questions. Like why DID it take so long for them to make this? How is Natasha surviving all these explosions, car crashes and falls as a non-superpowered character? How many people died in that avalanche? Why did Natasha and her mom swap faces? How does that weird pheromone thing work? How did only the good guys survive that massive base collapse and fall? How did Natasha get away from Ross?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Black Widow! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

That part was really disappointing but, at the very least, she's freed from the mind control at the end. So there's opportunity to have the character reappear later with a very different personality that's closer to the comics/cartoons/etc. It was still a weird ass decision to begin with, though.

[@AlcoholicBoredom]

@@Liesmith424 There's a whole Google's worth of information about why Scarjo died instead of Jeremy. A lot of it contradictory and uninformative. If I may project for a moment, I think most of us would've liked a recurring Black Widow franchise. The impression I get is that Scarjo wasn't interested in continuing in Marvel. Maybe she'll be the female Dr. Doolittle in the reboot of the movie liked by literally no one.

That would have made her look vulnerable, though. For some reason, Twitter feminists hate that and that scares Hollywood into not giving women weaknesses, which is sad because vulnerabilities make us empathize with characters. It’s a shame women can’t be portrayed as anything other than a “badass who don’t need no man”.

[@nont18411]

@@chirho100 Of course, it's Pfeiffer. Halle Berry's Catwoman is not even Selina Kyle.

7:22 When I watched it, having watched Falcon & Winter Soldier a while prior, it ended up having the impact I think they intended, just in reverse. I was shocked seeing them give Elaine’s character more screen time.

Producer guy: haven’t we completed the storylines for virtually every MCU character? Writer guy: well here’s the thing: money happened Producer guy: ooh I like money!

Except fans wanted a Black Widow solo movie for the last 11 years. Stan Lee himself said in 2014 it may be moving forward.

[@mercedesdrake9113]

umm did you think a black widow movie existed before this one? it took marvel 11 years to give their first female avenger in the mcu her own storyline.

@Tricky Shakes it was actually very good. The family dynamics were great and really intriguing!

"So then Dragov manages to bring in all of the brainwashed widows and they start attacking Natasha." "Oh man, all at once?" "No, only one or two attack her while the rest of the widows stand around and kind of just, y'know... watch and wait for their turn." "Seems like it'd be easier to overpower her if they all attack her at once." "Yeah but she's the hero so she needs to win." "Ah okay."

@Matthew Shinnick wouldn't that mean he wants them to torture her? No reason they all couldn't do it at the same time.

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

So, basically the same climactic action scene sequence as all kung-fu movies ever made. "There are hundreds of us and only one of you. That's why we will attack you one at a time!"

[@mdragarg]

@Matthew Shinnick >make it slow That's a plot convinience. He had no reason to ask them to make it slow. Natasha was trying to stop him. In reality, a man who has a terrorist after him will do anything to stop him, not sit back and get entertained while his soldiers (which are the final safeguard between him and the terrorist) take it slow

[@T1hitsTheHighestNote]

It's a very Neo vs Agent Smith kind of fight. Also, all these BW are very bad fighters when the plot needs them to be.

[@JugglernautNr9]

@@davidanderson_surrey_bc Not in early Jackie Chan movies (from the 70s, 80s, early 90s), where the punches fly left and right with everyone attacking from all sides. Just search for Drunken Master "Factory Showdown", one of the best Kung Fu scenes ever put on camera.

[@marcileatherboots1]

One mistake: Yelena was freed at the beginning of the movie so the pheromone lock was already disabled. Plus, I doubt she could smell Draykov from outside the plane. But as always, great stuff!

[@YourMajesty143]

I don't think the mind control has anything to do with the pheromone lock. All the Widows had the pheromone lock, including Natasha who was not brainwashed. Pheromones can travel for miles, and their presence can be sensed rather than smelled. According to Melina (Natasha and Yelena's surrogate mom), the only way to disengage the pheromone lock is to sever the nerve. So unless Yelena severed her own nerve offscreen, then her being able to blow up Dreykov's aircraft is a plothole.
