Photo: Marvel Studios Natasha Romanoff does something unprecedented early in Black Widow. The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s bombshell superspy, its cat-suited resident purveyor of flying-scissor takedowns, pops the top off a beer and then settles in, barefaced and in comfortable clothing, to watch a movie on her laptop.
As they do, they fall into a rhythm of casual bickering, with witticisms — the script was written by Thor: Ragnarok’s Eric Pearson — in line with the standard Marvel banter. But they accrue to form a deflating critique of Natasha’s character. Yelena rags on her adoptive sister’s tendency to do a superhero landing: “They’re great poses, but it does look like you think everyone’s looking at you all the time.” She teases Natasha about being a minor member of her outsize team.
