Steve: “I don’t understand what you said–- Speak in Irish!”
Tony: “I have no idea what you’re saying! Stop yelling!”
Natasha: “Bucky? Where are you? Get me a coffee, please. These people are too loud”
Thor: “I CANNOT BEAR THIS NOISE ANY LONGER”Vision: “VEGETABLES ARE A HEALTHY SNACK”
“VEGETABLES ARE A HEALTHY SNACK” OMFG
Hawkeye in the back pointing to his ears omg.
Literally how a soldier thinks versus how a spy does.
#aaaaah!! #fucking THANK YOU!!! #this scene does NOT indicate that Steve is some bumbling idiot #all that’s happening here #is that Steve thinks DIFFERENTLY #than Nat #THIS is what makes them such a good team #he’s a soldier #she’s a spy #they play different parts #THIS is Nat in her element #Steve is strategic as all fuck #he’s already made a plan to get Nat out of there safely #and keep the fight on him to avoid getting civilians hurt; #bc he’s a soldier #as a spy #Nat can get them out without anyone noticing #that’s her area of training #together #they make the badass brotp #steve rogers #natasha romanoff;
Anyone who dismisses her as eye candy didn’t watch the same movie I did, and ought to go sit in a corner and think about their misogyny.
I mean, god, it’s the little things. That “who do you want me to be?” she asks Steve while they’re in the car is just so raw. This is a woman whose entire life has been defined by ‘who do you want me to be?’ and so she falls back on it because she has nothing else left. And Steve doesn’t buy into the trap and just says “how about a friend?”
And god, her face when she thought Nick Fury was dying. The sheer level of silent devastation she’s trying not to show and failing.
I just cannot get seeing this moving and not seeing Natasha. Because if you just dismiss her as eye candy, that’s what you’re doing (I’m looking at you, several male reviewers).
Today’s list of standout Natasha moments (it varies):
- Reaction to Nick’s death.
- Reaction to NIck’s not being dead (she looks so wounded under the physical pain and confusion).
- Suiting up and infiltrating the WSC meeting with Pierce with a gunshot wound to her shoulder.
- Speaking of that, saving their asses shortly after getting said GSW, using a heavy piece of equipment even while she could barely stand.
- Using the widow’s bite on herself.
- That moment where she pauses to gird her emotional loins before she respond’s to Pierce’s jab about the world seeing her as she is (which it wouldn’t, because of course who she is and how she is is not what she’s done).
- The steely-eyed, contained anger bubble gum snap. (Most bad-ass use of bubble gum ever.)
#scarlett johansson is a remarkably pretty woman#and it continues to piss me off that basically as soon as she turned 18#that was all reviewers could see about her#even though by that age she’d already proven herself to be a damn good actress as well#and it’s not like her talent had an expiration date#the moment she was a legal adult
One Thing I want to be very clear on:
Don’t pit Black Widow against Captain Marvel.
Is it awesome that Carol’s getting her own movie? Fuck yeah.
Am I disappointed that Black Widow didn’t have a movie announced today? Fuck Yeah.
But what I mean by that is I’m disappointed that there wasn’t more than one movie with a female lead announced today out of nine. Not that it should have been Widow instead, but that it should have been both.
#one of those times when everyone (including steve) is like holy fucking shit this chick is brilliant#and like really fucking good at her job#and like wow now i see why she’s SHIELD’s top agent#i should let her run everything#she should be in charge#etc etc
#basically#can we also just not forget that had natasha not been on the lookout and seen rumlow on the escalator that would’ve been it#also i love how this is one of the more perfect examples of spy vs soldier#steve is used to reacting#his first instinct is to engage and think about how he can phyically defend himself in a fight#natasha is used to acting#her first instinct is to figure out the best way to hide and be stealth and quietly play the game#because for as much as the black widow likes to draw people into her web (see: bucky on the causeway) she plays it quiet 90% of the time#which is basically her strength and what makes her so good at what she does
