This is something the MCU cannot comprehend for some reason; Not every character needs to be funny. Like you said about Black Widow, in the comics she’s basically a female John Wick, in the mcu they gave her way too many quips and jokes that feel out of place.

It wasn't until Black Widow's solo movie that i realized that Marvel failed her. I think her being a side character in all the other films kind of hid the flaws/contrasting elements of her story. I was expecting her movie to be a mission impossible style Spy movie that shows her abilities that we never got in the "main" movies. Instead, it was a generic superhero movie that honestly didn't make much sense for her character. Needless to say, I'm disappointed with the direction they took with her, and she deserved better smh.

Black Widow in Endgame: “The Avengers are the only family I have” Black Widow in her movie: Has her own family outside the Avengers. Her movie ruins the fact Black Widow sacrificed herself for the Avengers cause she saw the Avengers as the only family she had in life. Hawkeye and Cap cried over her death in Endgame thinking she was the only people she saw as family. Now there is not as much weight to it anymore when they retconned it.

@petermj1098 Exactly. I honestly wouldn't mind this whole "spy family" aspect if they just executed it better. One way for that would definitely be for that movie to not be a shoe horned midquel thing that comes after the character died off (duh). It was just such a letdown because, once again, they had a lot of potential for her character and they just didn't really do much with it smh.

Always thought that Sif should've been more prominent in Thor's story (just knowing about the mythology at the very least), and that was before learning how important she was in the comics. They could have at least made her a better/closer friend to Thor in particular since she was a competent fighter, but nope, she just disappears. Would've been pretty helpful in that Endgame fight, I bet.
@antona.8659
@antona.8659 5 ай бұрын
In the comics she was the sole reason why Thor became worthy. He picked Mjolnir for the first time to save her after she was kidnapped. He became worthy when he tried to lift that hammer to help someone he loved, not to make himself powerful. Sif then returned the favor when Hela was about to drag Thor's soul to Niffleheim, but Sif pleaded on her knees to take her instead and made Hela, a character whose shtick is to be cold and emotionless, cry when she felt Sif's dispair. The MCU screwed up Thor's iconography worse out of any franchise I can think of.

Another female character that has been done dirty by the mcu is Sharon Carter. They would rather give off her character traits to other characters(Nat and Peggy) than giving her the story she deserves. Like the only reason Peggy was even created in the first place was to set up for Sharon’s story. They took so much away from her and reduced her into being a background character. Which is ridiculous considering her role in the Captain America comics.

I think that's what happens when it's pandering for money rather than written with genuine intent. You can feel their type of "feminism" shoe-horned in. It's doesn't feel organic. Especially when it's just having women on screen degrading men it misses the entire point of feminism. Women being capable, adaptive, using their own intelligence etc to earn their success is feminism; lifting women up at the expense of men is not and just plain lazy writing. As well just handing success to them without earning it is also boring, and that happens way too often.

Fun fact: the Wasp (Janet Van Dyne) was supposed to take Black widow’s spot for the first avengers movie. She would’ve calm the hulk down in age of Ultron by using the same exact “the sun is going down” trick that Natasha did. However it wouldn’t been a some type of romantic relationship thing because Jan is with Hank in this version therefore Bruce would still had Betty as his love interest. Also, Due to Jan’s character of being kind and caring, she would had a trust type of bond with the hulk or even a friendship with the hulk. I wish we had that instead of Hulk/BruceXNatasha.

Her membership as an Avenger has always been back and forth in the comics. Mostly, she is there as an eye on the Avengers. Her motives are always muddy and her true allegiance is unclear as she is a double agent, which means she screws over her allies just as easily as she screws over the Avengers' enemies. All you know is that she mostly works in the best interests of S.H.I.E.L.D.

It all started with the Ultimate comics. She was a member of the Avengers there, and both she and Hawkeye were put in the place of Ant-Man and the Wasp in the MCU because they're as complicated and controversial as an actual wasps nest in the comics. Originally, Wasp was planned to debut in the first Avengers film with Zooey Deschanel being eyed to play her, but that was their contingency plan in case Scarlett Johannsen's contract didn't get renewed for the film.

Ditching Black Widow's comic book origins and making her into a generic Russian spy. In the comics she's basically a female Soviet Captain America. She was born in the 1930s, survived the Battle of Stalingrad as a child, and was recruited by the Soviet Super Soldier Program ("the Red Room") who gave her a variant of the same serum that Steve Rodgers got. This would completely open up the world and bring in Cold War history and conspiracy into the character.

​@@ChaosReaper426 that came into comics just ten years ago and was mandated by Marvel's editorial because Jane now was a movie character and they needed to give her relevancy in the comics. It's the same reason why Loki during Siege looks and acts like a black metal arsonist, but then few years later Tom Hiddleston becomes the most popular actor in the MCU besides Downey and comics quickly turned Loki into a pretty bad boy who doesn't want to do bad things on purpose. Again, the MCU is so destructive, it affects the comics too.

Kenneth Branagh was right there, but neither Hemsworth or the MCU thought, ''Maybe we should go back to the roots of the franchise and end it the way we started it?" Branagh actually had plans to bring Balder into the picture and mentioned Ragnarok (the myth) on the commentary track for the first Thor. He'd def do it some justice. And if Hela was there, she'd be the daughter of Loki and a lurking presence instead of a video game boss with no relation to Loki.

The part of you saying that other's being capable renders the main hero not special is spot on. The same thing applies to Batman nowadays as he has 20 members in the Batfamily and 8 of which mainly operate in Gotham. Batman should be more like the Sith with the rule of two Master and the Apprentice. This time with Batman, Alfred and A Robin at the most so when Dick leaves it gets to Jason, then to Tim then to Damian and that being the LAST OF IT. Once they leave they should go to other places far from him to be their own heroes or anti-heros. WHEN EVERYONE IS SPECIAL NO ONE IS SPECIAL.

That’s gonna be a problem with planning out these big franchises as actors don’t want to be tied down as much into one commitment.

Maybe that’s why Marvel is pushing newer actors to be their leads in films: so they can stay in the MCU for as long as they can use them.

I remember a particular season of a franchise that's still going to this day, released no later than 2015. In it, a previously-static female character is basically tasked with saving five other team members, as well as helping to save the franchise's equivalent of the multiverse. Throughout the season's 3.5-hour runtime, she evolves into a member just as capable as the other five, with guidance from both the other five's mentor as well as an antihero. Within the season's 10-day release window, the female character becomes everything Marvel has been trying to deliver on for over 15 years. Strong female characters are more than possible, but only if enough time and care and effort is put in during the production process.

Unpopular opinion: many of Braeden's notes for Black Widow are on-point, but more fundamentally, instead of Hawkeye & Black Widow, they probably should have gone with Ant Man & Wasp, since they actually were members of the original team in the comics. I also think Wasp would be a better casting fit for ScarJo. The whole time I was watching her solo movie, I kept seeing Rachel Weisz and thinking, "that's who should have played Black Widow." Everyone loves Scarlett Johansson, I just think she should have had a different role.

disagree with your disagree. I think the problem isn't that Pepper wouldn't know how it works in general but that we never see her train or learn anything about the suit. The first iron man showed Tony doing a lot of trial and error and making adjustments. He had to struggle and earn his abilities with his brains and ingenuity. Pepper may have learned offscreen but Marvel does that a lot. Just show a quick scene of her figuring part of the suit out or learning from Tony. We get none of that and she just appears on screen and is as good as Tony with the suit. That makes Tony not seem as special as Iron Man. He's more than just the suit but this brings that down a bit. That's how I took the commentary on it

@@BenjaminBilyeu-jm3tc Well kinda because Tony was mainly making mark 2 during this period. While adjusting to hovering instead full on flying. Now once he made mark 2 he just started the flight test and he adjusted to it very quickly. Just like he said "There's a time where you got to run before you can walk". Also compared to all the marks in ironman 1 to her suit should not be in the same category. It also makes Tony better in terms of iron man suit training. Since every disadvantage his previous suits had are pretty much not relevant in her suit making her training less risky and faster than tony. Because since her suit has Tony advanced Ai if she messes up the suit would just assist her. Which Tony made mostly himself from the ground up. This just tells you anyone can be ironman but no one can be Tony Stark because without Tony her suit would never exist. Since he literally built it.

Then, stark giving her the rescue suit would've made much more sense.

I'm so happy you gave some criticism of Black Widow, but I think everyone seems to think that her suicide in Endgame was such a fantastical character moment for her, when it nullified the rule set for the soul stone, while diminishing a payoff for hawkeye. In her first film (Iron Man 2), she's clearly a cold agent and only on mission. In Avengers, she and Hawkeye clearly has history, and she goes out of her way to help him specifically. Avengers 2, she seems heartbroken about Hawkeye's family life, while also trying to find social company in bruce banner. Winter Soldier is similar to IM2 but she is also more open to Captain America, showing her desire for acceptance. Civil War, she initiates the request to stay friends with Hawkeye in their skirmish. After Infinity War and in Endgame, Hawkeye goes lone wolf because he lost everything (clearly doesn't care about the team or Natasha) while Black Widow is STALKING him for 5 years. When the time experiment initiates, Hawkeye volunteers because he doesn't care about dying since he lost everything. He is even in a spot of grief when he sees his family again but gets pulled back (which, to anyone, is foreshadowing his sacrifice). When they go to the soul stone, Black Widow dies, who was fairly established for the entire MCU to not be the dearest thing to Hawkeye. Clearly, Black Widow wanted acceptance, and felt that most closely with Hawkeye. Had Hawkeye died, giving his last request to save his family, he would have completed his own arc in the same film, while Widow would have lost that which she cherished dearest, hence giving her the soul stone. TLDR: Black Widow dying made me laugh out loud in the cinema because I thought they just lost the soul stone, since Hawkeye didn't care even fractionally for Widow.

For me, I thought they dropped a huge ball on the black widow movie. A movie that people have been waiting and begging for years. A movie that should have come out before her stupid unnecessary death. They had all this time to hire the best writers to give her a very compelling story and a GOOD villain. Taskmaster was reduced to a wet paper version.

I found it exhausting that I had to go through this "moar diversity" thing twice and watch it fail both times. Years ago Marvel Comics did the exact same thing Marvel Studios did and got the same results. In fact I think DC Comics (which was going through its amazing _Rebirth_ initiative at the time) was actually able to overtake Marvel as the best selling American comic book company. Actually the mention of DC made me realize I've seen it three times. DC Comics launched their _Infinite Frontier_ initiative not long before phase 4 of the MCU and it also bombed horribly. My favorite was when John Ridely (the screenwriter of 12 Years a Slave) wrote a (thankfully non-canon) story where a de-powered Superman gets raped. That's a story that desperately needed to be told, right?

I find people who use "M-She-U" exhausting because I'm a woman who'd love to see more characters (especially women). What women want is to see well-written characters, preferably comic accurate. If not, keep the spirit and energy of the characters and give them flaws, struggles, and other things that compliment their powers. I'm just disappointed that the MCU mishandled writing female characters

The real love interest of Tony Stark from the comics is Bethany Cabe. She's a security expert, and a former romantic partner of Tony. Pepper and Tony never ever dated in the comics. Pepper is actually with Happy Hogan. Beth helped Tony deal with his alcoholism. Other than Beth, Whitney Frost would be Tony’s next best love interest. To me, Beth was Tony's True Love in the comics.... But MCU popularized Pepper Potts. Bethany Cabe is an interesting character. The Iron Man mythos has a lot of very interesting characters like her that the movies didn't use. I hope to see Bethany and Madame Masque in EA Motive's Iron Man game.

It's sad cause I loved Disney & it's 2D Animation growing up in the 90's. Now it's unrecognizable & it's monopolized many things. These people have proven they are only capable of writing narcissistic stories that self insert themselves and their own beliefs into anything they do. Even if they get to make something from a pre-existing beloved story, they cannot help themselves. They seem to be incapable of creating artistic creations that stray away from their own personal perspective, instead of showing they can lean heavily into escapism and pure storytelling.. They have proven time and time again that they are not capable of doing anything even remotely close to that.. (which is weird because that should be one of the most important attributes that a director or a developer or an actor has in order to be successful at their job....?) How is there no one that will fire these people who openly hate the fans, who hate the consumers were the one's who made their success in the first place.. There's now people like Kathleen Kennedy, She's a Perfect example of this awful trend where people keep getting these positions when they in no way deserve those positions. They are not hired based off talent or skill..? So we are seeing very expensive shows, movies, all so terribly designed, terribly managed, Awful writing, world design, character development, poor aesthetics. So much now feels creatively bankrupt and I really hope we all snap the f*ck out of it and get back to making better things. The new Acolyte show comes off so cheap & tacky.. It's not just the terrible writing & terrible acting. The whole thing is a complete self centered power trip.. It's horrible set design, horrible world building, horrible camera work. It all makes this show feel so small. Like it's filmed in a single green screen room.. Grasping at awful CGI techniques to try and force any bit of a false reality into this mess of a show. It's so far from Legitimate Star wars movies that it feels as if this whole thing is a big parody.. A very expensive parody.. Now Compare the "The Acolyte" as If you go back & watch "X-Men the Animated series" It was so well crafted. The story of the struggles of mutants having to deal with humanity was such a universally relatable storyline. Media back then was not afraid to face difficult topics head on. They found really unique ways to abstractly teach people life lessons. They touched on difficult situations & found intelligent ways to convey certain stories. Even when I was all grown up & rewatched it, it really felt like the story is crafted so well & executed at such a high level that anyone is capable of relating to it in someway or another. It's stuff like that, that we are deeply lacking nowadays. So much so that literal kid's cartoons from the 90's told deeper and more mature stories than most media nowadays. Stuff used to take pride in who can find the most creative ways to convey certain things. Who can give the audience certain feelings without overly explaining it. It used to not matter what kind of character, creature, species they were. What matters is that they found ways to convey artistic depictions of the Human condition. Creative ways that can connect us on a deeper level.

I love Liv Tyler and she didn't deserve this. It's too bad that Betty was forgotten. and she's one of the best female characters in the MCU. Betty and Bruce are the best couple. When she was so important to Bruce, they suddenly replaced her with Black Widow. I feel sad for her. Now they brought her back but I have no idea what they will do. I hope they get back together and become a couple again. They never gave up on each other in the Incredible Hulk movie. Although Bruce and Betty separate, they continued their relationship when they met again. Betty may have never left him. her heart was with him. I wonder what their situation is now.🥺

Aeon fluex, Resident Evil girl Alice, Halle Cat Woman (idc I like it), Underworld, Wanted, Doomsday, Charlie’s Angels, Kill Bill, (I never saw these two) Salt, and Colombiana. I’d say these are pretty much a good amount of the female led/ co Star movies I enjoyed growing up. I went for 2000s- 2010s. Before the bs we see in a lot of modern “action” female led movies. Never cared about them being women too much in the movies. They were hot, yes, but also extremely cool, badass characters I cared about. The last two I know people enjoyed. I’ll definitely watch them soon.
