MCU fans think they’ve discovered Black Widow’s hidden superpower


One of the reasons Black Widow got such a following in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was that she was like Batman. Unlike many of her colleagues, Black Widow was not blessed with superhuman abilities such as being a god, transforming into a raging monster, or having the technical knowledge to build a super techno suit.

On the other hand, ever-observant fans think Black Widow has a superpower – that she’s at least a little crazy. That may be true to some degree for any superhero, but it’s precisely because Black Widow has no powers that make her derring-do stand out any more.

How did fans view the power of Black Widow?

The discussion of Black Widow’s abilities took place in this Reddit thread, starting with a video compilation of some of her more crazy stunts, such as fighting a villain in the air without the benefit of a parachute or a Hulk. This part of the clip may or may not be a scene from her upcoming solo film.

As one of explains, “Her superpowers are her unpredictability, you never know what she’s going to do next. For example, Tony’s team clearly managed to win the battle in the Civil War at the airport, if she wanted her and T ‘ Challa Cap and Bucky could fight, but they changed the whole scenario. “

Another of indicated her ability, as it were, is her ability to play with people’s emotions and capture them, as she did with Loki during the first Avengers movie – and that was an achievement in considering that Loki himself was a past master at that very skill.

The fan wrote: ‘It also shows how much better a bull ——– she is then Loki. The whole movie up to that point is that he is a deceptive little snake. He thinks he invented them all because she is not special to him. Until she gets him to reveal everything unconsciously, then thank him lol. How could you not love her after that? ‘

Maybe the movie is the sending ‘Endgame’ that Natasha didn’t give

It was moments like these that made Black Widow a favorite of the moment she was introduced Iron Man 2. Yet despite how many fans there were for eight, that film lasted 10 years before it was actually made. What the merits of Captain Marvel as a film, some fans considered it unfair that they beat Black Widow to a solo film.

As lovely as Finals was, one of the main complaints from fans about it was that Natasha got something from an abrupt send-off, and the people in the movie and in the movie theater didn’t get a chance to mourn her well. Some fans have said that Avengers’ reactions marked the stages of grief – denial, anger, negotiation, depression, and acceptance.

Smart as that theory may be, fans in Endgame went into the knowledge that there would be a Black Widow movie, and they went blind when Natasha died.

As one Reddit fan put it, “Natasha has been my favorite since day one, so when (her death happened, I made a huge noise of shock / sadness in the silent cinema and cried like a baby. I can not suffer, to look Finals now fills me with fear, knowing what is to come. Tony’s death was also sad but expected. Still pissing that Nat is not getting a good funeral or service of any kind. ”

The new challenge of Black Widow – going through theaters?

Fans hope the film will serve as the appropriate farewell that Natasha did not receive. After all, the film is a sequel, which takes place in between Captain America: Civil War en Avengers: Infinity War, it will surely be full of anticipation of her death. Indications are that the franchise will continue with the character Yelena of Florence Pugh, who was another Black Widow in the comics.

Now, ironically, the Black Widow movie has been further delayed by the pandemic. It was intended to open this May before being printed after November 6th. For now, that date exists, but there is no unreasonable speculation that Black widow will follow Mulan’s lead, skipped theaters and debuted at Disney + in America for a fee of $ 30.

The smart money does not bet on it. Disney has specifically said Mulan is a one-time deal. Mulan and Disney’s other live-action remakes draw audiences from families who would save money with the Disney + deal. Black widow is part of the MCU, which is only the biggest money cow for Disney and for theaters.

Theaters will not give up Marvel revenue without a fight. But the superpower of the pandemic is its unpredictability. If Natasha has seen it more than a few times, anything can happen.
