Black Widow is The MCU's Biggest Disappointment 

So we literally had an entire army of Widows, trained like Natasha plus Yeleena, Mileena and a god damn super soldier just sitting there doing nothing while the entire universe was under threat? And Natasha didn't think to call any of them? Thanos is the perfect excuse to call the calvary . The writing pissed me off

I'm surprised you didn't mention the fact that Natasha and her sister are talking about how they're trained killers in front of a cashier at a gas station.

Are you seriously telling me that one of the most important characters of the mcu got her entire movie written in 11 days !! Are you kidding me ?!

The main problem is, the movie acts as if we are supposed to care about these events after civil war, timing was missed. Scarlett Johansson desvered better

All of this guilt about dropping a building on a child and wanting to wipe the red from her ledger.... Then Nat blows up and destroys an entire prison including its guards.

Perry the Platypus was a more competent spy then anyone in this movie.

I feel like this movie should have taken place during the 5 year blip in endgame because the stakes would have felt more dire and Natasha would have an extra incentive to stop the the Red Room, it wouldn’t have made the movie feel so old because since it took place after Civil War

I felt like this movie was 10% about Natasha and 90% about introducing Yelena since she got all the best lines and emotional beats. I also wanted a movie about Natasha and Clint’s infamous time in Budapest. It took me 3 tries to get thru this movie. Just awful. I did enjoy your video!

I think the deeper problem is that we learned almost nothing of her origin. If I was the writer I would make it a dark R rated origin story about the horrors of the red room.

For a powerless chick she sure Displayed a lot of Invulnerability powers.

Kevin Feige: how much experience do you have in movies? Do you know anything about comics? Indie filmmaker: well i don't kno- Kevin Feige: *YOU'RE HIRED!*

As a published writer, I can tell that if someone take less that a month to write a story, it's a sign that the story will be bad; like, doesn't matter how many writers made or how simple it is, take months to write it or will give a bad taste. It's recognizable in the final version of it how much work was put on it. Less work/effort = less quality.

The problem with this movie is that the first 40 mins were fine enough even though I personally would've preferred a movie with Black Widow and Hawkeye on their mission in Budapest. But when they rescued David from jail, the whole movie is downhill from there. I had to skip through multiple scenes at that point in comparison to ZSJL where I skipped though only the Lois Lane stuff and that movie was 4 hours long. I don't want to get started on the plot armor and how the worst thing to happen to a main character was a broken nose. The Taskmaster twist and the danger repellent twist was just really stupid for me at least and the end of the movie is literally CA:WS if Bucky was a girl and there were 20 other brainwashed super soldiers. This movie was ass and a 3.5/10 it would be a 1/10 but as I said, the first 40 mins was the best part.

This movie had cw level writing. Just finished MauLer's video on this movie and here I am watching another video tearing this movie lmao

Honestly, I expected the MCU to fade out at some point, but I did not expect them to go into the dirt at 200 kilometers per hour and keep digging. Between the awful writing in the MCU TV shows and the VERY questionable moral messages in all of them (Loki literally makes the argument that genocide on an infinite scale is a good thing), topped off with black widow being a plot armored train wreck of a story, I can't be excited for a single upcoming project.

I agree with everything you said. Also, I forgot that Shang Chi and Eternals were a thing. I truly don't give a damn about the MCU or Disney at this point. Star Wars Visions does look interesting but I consider that its own thing entirely.

i turned my brain off an just mindlessly enjoyed this movie As soon as task master blew up black widows car and she survived up injured. This movie wasnt meant to be for black widow but to introduce yelaina that is why we didnt get budapest. That is why she stole the show. I always thought this concept for this movie after her death made no sense. And as of right now this movie is 100% skippable as it has no real effect on the MCU

I feel like Eternals saw this, and went "Hold my beer"

The only way to do Taskmaster respect in the MCU now is by stating in the next product that this movie was not canon. Either that or having a Taskmaster from another universe who is well written.

It’s sad to say… but I think we all know the mcu has passed its golden age

There are very few movies in the MCU that I find skippable and Black Widow became the #1 movie on that list. Im truly sorry this is Scarlet's and Black Widow's final movie.

Alexi was fun. Sure would have been nice to see Red Guardian vs Taskmaster instead of just cutting away from it. But hey Taskmaster wasn't really in this movie so 🤷‍♂️

I think the problem was with the writers and director for not explaining whether they had some version of the super soldier experiment, in the game it says the widows have a serum boost

Wait, the pheromones thing might be even dumber than we think. Couldn't Natasha just pinch her nostrils shut with one hand and just stab the dude with her other hand or something? She didn't need to move away from him or faceplant his table to overcome this "obstacle". Edit: is it possible the reason they cured Taskmaster is because they want her to become a future hero? Because if she's still alive, AND no longer evil, I have no problem imagining them trying to put her in a more heroic role in the future since she still has her cybernetic implants to copy people's fighting styles.

If taskmaster switched personalities with ultron it would be better

This is the first video I've seen from you and your hilarious! Definitely subscribed! I love it lol.

The stunt double for taskmaster looks way more fit for the role. And also they should make it where theres a taskmaster initiative or a backup plan in case drakova daughter fucked it up and reveal another taskmaster who is actually good

I kept on watching your videos and loved them for the last 2 months but right now realised that I was not subscribed so I did.

Biggest disappointment? I dunno man, I’m sticking with Thor Dark World for that one.

You are doing a very good job! Congratulations! Keep going!

This channel hella underrated. Keep doing what you do. (Also have you considered making a discord server?)

6:20 I know I'm late to this video but Yelena could have also just written "this is urgent! take these to the Avengers ASAP!" or something like that on the back of the damn picture 💀

It could've been so much better, it's still watchable and sometimes entertaining but I watched it in theatres when it came out and i haven't had the desire of re-watching it since bc i think if i do ill like it less, they fucked red guardian, completely nerfed him and made him a retard so that the ladies would stand out, the only thing going for him was David Harbor's charisma, and don't even get me started on Taskmaster, just a mindless robot controlled by a chip that needs technology to be able to fight, the fact that taskmaster fought re guardian and red guardian barely stood a chance was laughable, and we barely saw their fight, it was always cutting back to the others, and why would Dreykov, a man that has an army of women assassins that operate undercover, why would he make his daughter a suit with man proportions, the actress that plays Antonia, which was totally wasted here, doesn't fit that suit, i dont think she ever whore it during filming, it was always a man, it doesn't make sense in the movie for a woman with her proportions to use a suit that bulky that she doesn't even feel, is she even comfortable wearing that thing, and why would Dreykov let taskmaster walk around in public in a flashy blue and orange suit with a skull mask, being everything but discrete, he's literally walking around in public with a tank, why would Dreykov let that happen it could compromise him and the red room, surely the news and police would pick up on it and consider it a terrorist attack or something, it should be all over the news why isn't it, these are probably my biggest problems but there are others, like Melina never being held accountable about all the terrible shit she's done, everything that the ladies do is glossed over, Antonia couldn't have stayed dead bc if that happened natasha would've killed a child, you know what would've been better, Antonia staying dead and natasha dealing with the consequences and try to forgive herself, also the editing in the movie is weird, the tone of the movie is weird, as per usual all the emotional scenes have to be undercut with a unfunny joke and so on, this movie was such a missed opportunity

Banger as per usual 🔥🔥👊

Great video. I recommend checking out Mauler's video on BW because he reiterates a lot of what you're saying and more. Overall, I didn't see it but I agree that we should have gotten Budapest with Hawkeye. That would have been dope and made Endgame hit harder. And also release it after Civil War or between Infinity War and Endgame.

Taskmaster would have been better if Taskmaster was so hellbent on revenge to the point she would mimic all the fighting styles just to defeat BW and make her more of a threat instead of turning her into a terminator. I would have taskmaster kill on of the widow family or turn BW mother into the Ironmaiden by horrifically scaring her face.

Have you seen Loki? They said at the end that everything that has happened in the MCU up to that point was predetermined by Kang. So basically the MCU doesn't matter anymore. Endgame or any of the film, good or bad, doesn't matter in the MCU anymore. I don't understand how so many people are unseeing this. I hope you see this and point this out in some of your future videos. Subscribed!

Ah damn, I initially thought Black Widow was good film. Gio's points are so valid.

Hey gio, I'm here at 9.61k subs ,,after 10 months and 5 days you would have reached 130k.

I wonder if Natasha could survive someone cutting her head off in this movie. LOL

I knew it would go all downhill after Endgame I don't see the MCU getting the same gas it did before

I love your videoes and I agree with everything you have said about Black Widow but I would have to disagree with your opinion about other marvel projects especially Loki because it was phenomenal and as for Shang Chi and Eternals i don't think they are forgettable especially Eternal's final trailer it has one of best visuals I have seen.😊

And love ur vids bro

Underrated channel bro, keep it up and you’ll be growing in no time

Scarjo gets bonus salary from the opening weekend like 25% ( not sure the exact no. ) of the entire opening weekend from theatres. Disney released in disney + giving them extra money through premium access , plus new membership and saves money through no cut with main actress and distributers which is a lot of money.

Can you do a video on Civil War?

when will we see you talk about flash season 7?

You deserve more subs

Watching this video, and Black Widow as proxy, 2 years later really shows how much of a waste using Taskmaster here was especially since we got so many replacment Avengers. Imagine a universe where Taskmaster wasn’t wasted here and was saved so that he could chalange Sam, Kate or even Yelena in a later project. He could copy the styles of Steve, Clint or Natasha depending on whose replacment he was fighting. Copying the OGs style and making the new hero feel inadaquate since this bad guy is better at replicating the OGs abilities than they are. Then they manage to beat him when they finally stop trying to fight like the OG and fight in their own style, finaly embracing their monicer fully and making it their own.

Hope you respond back, want to know your opinion on this, I absolutely agree about Black Widow, well the movie, this would have been my idea for the movie, a clone of Natasha Romanoff awakens in the Red Room and while training, begins gaining memories of the Original Natasha and escapes the Red Room, and is now trying to get away from the Red Room and Taskmaster (Mel Gibson) who has been hired by the Red Room to hunt her down, and she's struggling with herself gaining memories of Natasha, and Clint Barton, despite knowing she's a clone, helps her discover who she is and what she wants to be.

Taskmaster could possibly take down Batman if he observed his fighting style

I'm still mad about the fact that it wasn't Black Widow origin movie. Yelena was very annoying, the plot was stupid, they made Alexi acts like an idiot and it was like Marvel can't make a movie without mentioning Avengers over and over again.

Tbh, I didn't like any Disney+ shows, I didn't like Loki too, I watched it weekly but when looking at it, the show and it's pacing is made for binge watching. Plus can u make a video on your views on the Disney+ shows?

I hear Shang Chi knocks it out of the park so I’m really excited. But yeah when compared to the larger MCU Black Widow is very weak

Taskmaster was probably the biggest sin of this movie for me. Could you imagine the possibility of Taskmaster fighting Shang Chi who is deemed the most skilled martial arts fighter in the MCU? Or even in the future with someone like Deadpool who, in the comics, is literally too insane for Taskmaster to copy. But no, instead we get a mute, throwaway villain that probably won’t even make a comeback

I Wasn’t excited for this Movie from the Trailers Alone

It would be better if task master actually had loyalty to her father in a chain to love sort of way

I know I’m late but I just wanted to add. Why didn’t they just have Natasha and Yelena use their skills from the Red Room to infiltrate the prison to break Alexei out? That would have made more sense then just having a dumb action scene where Black Widow and her sister commit mass murder of those innocent guards who probably had families. It’s ironic that Joss Whedon wrote Black Widow better then the director of this movie, and he was responsible for Josstice League.

A Budapest movie would’ve been dope

They did Task Master dirty….. one of my favorite comic book characters gone to waste. I stopped caring about the MCU after infinity war but this hurts.

Well in the comics Natasha and Yelena have a version of the super soldier serum. It is neither confirmed nor denied that they have it in the MCU. With that in mind look at what Bucky and Steve go through in the other movies. It is a lot more believeable that Nat and Yelena can survive this "bullshit" as you say. The rest I can't defend but I hope I was able to make the movie a little more believeable for you.

When is your review for The Flash Season 3 and season 7 coming?

This was in my opinion worse than Captain Marvel because with her we had no attachment or care before hand, at least in the MCU. But Natasha has had so many years of buildup only to crash im this movie. Im certain this wasn't made so much for Natasha as it was for Yelena, to have another passing on of an older hero for a newer one.

ooh I'm excited!

taskmaster got a sharingan

This aged like milk since Eternals released

Wasn't captain Marvel the MCU's biggest disappointment? I actually thought the black widow wasn't that bad. I mean, it's bad, but not the worst though. However, I'm interested to hear what you have to say. By the way, I just noticed your profile picture kinda looks like Taskmaster's mask. A coincidence? I think not!

We definitely are in a low point for marvel. Personally, I enjoyed cap and the winter solider. Didnt watch wandavision tho and I dont plan to see this either. Waiting on spiderman

I wouldn't say the movie permanently ruined her character. It was bad, but it destroy her in other films. After all it was in Endgame where she quoted Hawkeye about not judging people on their worst mistakes. The movie was pretty disappointing though.

Along with Captain Marvel & the TV shows, we can pretend that this stuff is not MCU canon.

Damn I remember a time when we just watched a movie for the enjoyment of it. Every movie ever made has inconsistencies in them

then Multiverse of Badness came out, then Love and Thunder came out, then She-Hulk came out, looking back on it Black Widow may be a trainwreck, but its not the 40 car pile up during rush hour when we all allowed blind people to drive that the modern MCU is.

if we're going by the comic then natasha and the other black widows are also super soldiers of the same russian version of the serum that alexei is juiced by which is why she is able to survive things normal humans can't

Couldn't even finish it b/c it was so bad. Mauler's review is such a thrashing. With the time you had, a good overview of its problems.

The biggest problem I have with marvel right now is there doing stuff wrong. She hulk, moonknight, secret wars, secret invasion should have been a big screen movie cos of how popular they are as characters and comic stories. Eternals and shang-chi along with other smaller characters should have been disney plus shows to hype up the less established characters as they aint been relevant or done anything noteworthy in comics in a while and to show them of to gain interest in them, then make a movie of this established hype. Theres a reason shang-chi and eternals aint being talked about alot and got absultely destroyed by no way home in views in like an hour.

"Alright Marvel, hit me" Marvel: 👊 💥

in my opinion captain marvel making nick fury loosing his eye to an animal with cat camouflage to make it look like a joke was the worst dissapointment in the whole marvel universe.. i mean nick was a badass serious character with an interesting mystery and they blew it up for people to laugh at it just like thor being fat and being asleep every second of the endgame was just as bad and so is hulk with banner personality... compared to these things black widow is nowhere close to MCU biggest dissapoitment

They should have just called this movie Yelena Belova instead of Black Widow.

Should have been small scale and personal like The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy . The final battle scene was totally wrong for this sort of flick involving spies and assassins.

man... between 11 days for the script and the character assassination, it all makes sense.. Why this movie is coming out now and has all these issues: To pass the torch to Yeleena. Imprint the "care" we had for her onto the newer, better, younger, abandoned, abused widow that lacks the 'ledger'. I would say ""well it wont work Marvel"... But..

It’s weird how the movie Red Sparrow with Jennifer Lawrence does a better job at showing what a Black Widow movie should look like than the actual Black Widow movie. Even then Red Sparrow wasn’t the best and I didn’t enjoy it as much as I wanted to. Same with this movie. I really, really wanted to like this. But it’s just so far from what I expected that I had to literally turn my brain off to get through it.

Why would Taskmaster need to be mind controlled in order to kill Natasha, Antonia should want to kill her because she dropped a building on her as a child.

It's sad to see the MCU go from at least 75% of the stuff in it's phases being interesting to damn near being entirely left behind by fans.

You gave me a new perspective as to what I should expect when it comes to superhero films (considering I’m a comic expert), and I appreciate that because you indicate that it is imperative to UNDERSTAND the direction of the movie versus having a biased opinion of the latter being someone’s favorite character. SN: As for the plot “armor”, in the comics, Black Widow possesses enhanced durability. She’s on the same level as Captain America in almost every aspect with the exception being their difference in strength levels. Just wanted to share some insight on how Black Widow survived half of those events.

Just a quick correction Taskmaster can't and won't copy Moon Knight for two reasons. Reason one, the multiple personalities. They kind of messes with his photographic reflexes as he can't switch fighting styles like Moon Knight can due to the way the personalities cycle. Reason two, Moon Knight would rather take a hit than waste time blocking it or avoiding it which Taskmaster has stated is the reason he doesn't like copying Moon Knight.

I'm still highly pissed off by how they handled Taskmaster... my disappointment was immeasurable and my day was ruined. It maybe a cheap fix but I hope they use the multiverse to bring in a new Taskmaster that is better.

This movie is terrible. I’m glad I didn’t waste money on watching it. I just waited for my favorite RU-vidrs’ reviews. You know what wouldn’t be terrible? A plushie of your cartoon character. You should totally make one. I’d buy.

i 100% agree

How the hell did anyone not notice the fucking base in the God Damn sky?!?!

Couldn’t agree more

I was so disappointed in the direction the movie took after the incredibly chilling opening.

They misused the supersoldier

The thing is, the mcu has had terrible writing for YEARS. For some reason people just keep giving it excuses, the kind no other media gets. So many other movies and shows get torn apart over every little thing, yet the mcu gets sunshine blown up its ass constantly.

,,kill a spider with a nuke,, You just spoiled the ending of Kill it with fire

We this video was definitely made before Eternals. Eternals kinda took the title as MCU's Biggest Disappointment

Personally, I think that the biggest MCU related disappointment is Captain America Civil War. I know that it's a huge storyline to adapt to a movie, but my two major gripes with the movie are: A) Zemo's plan relied way too much on things that there is no way he could've predicted would happen, and in some cases, he manages to do things that are not well explained, or make the protagonists look like morons. B) The whole point of Civil War's event is the conflict between the concepts of Freedom and Security, and in the end of the movie, it feels like this core of the movie has been thrown aside, and for what? To decide Bucky's fate, even though it is known to all that he was brainwashed when he committed all his crimes? This was a serious letdown for me, because I had a lot of expectations from this movie. The irony is, since I had no expectations from the movie of Eternals, I actually enjoyed THEIR movie a lot more than what I felt while watching Civil War.

I don't think marvel is that stupid to permanantly damage one of the mcu's most popular caracters, maybe they have more plans for her in the future.

Thor Love and Thunder to Black Widow, " Hold my beer". 😉

3 movies has come out yet since Spider-Man:Far From Home Black Widow: Disappointing Shang-Chi: Amazing Eternals: Not Terrible Not Good

If you want to reach 50k review the dctv shows weekly especially flash and superman and titans
