Black Widow

Black Widow is perfectly enjoyable, but it never lives up to the weight of expectation.

The “WandaMySister” Years: Best. Avengers. Ever!

The younger Avengers became Cap’s surrogate for the family he might have had in a kinder world, and it’s a tribute to Lee’s skill as a writer that Cap’s parental love for his protégés (tempered with impatience!) was tacitly evident.

All-Amercan Girl: Marvel Comics’ First Super-Heroine!

Unencumbered by a drippy love interest, the Golden Age Miss America took charge and kicked arse on her own initiative—often with lethal results for her foes. Okay, she didn’t actually set out to kill any of them—but if they were collateral damage in battle, she didn’t weep!

If flawed, this film’s as good as anyone could realistically expect. It’s told by people who understand the team’s nature and appeal, and can bottle that and serve it to audiences new and fannish alike. It’s been a five-film wait. And it’s pretty much been worth it.
