Here’s Why Black Widow Didn’t Get a Memorial on the End of

(Major spoilers forward for “Avengers: Endgame” and the entire state of affairs with Black Widow aka Natasha Romanoff, however you in all probability already knew that given the headline)

It will be simple to overlook as you get to the top of “Avengers: Endgame” that multiple main Marvel hero died to carry in regards to the final victory over Thanos. Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) could get the massive funeral with all people paying their respects, however one other long-time MCU character, Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) additionally sacrificed herself in order that victory could be potential.

If she hadn’t killed herself on Vormir in order that Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) may return to the current with the stone, then Tony Stark’s (Robert Downey Jr.) snap to wipe out all of Thanos’s forces wouldn’t have been potential. Her sacrifice mattered simply as a lot as Tony’s did.

But after we get to the top of the film, we get an enormous memorial for Iron Man with an enormous variety of well-known heroes displaying as much as pay their respects, whereas Hawkeye and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) hand around in the nook having their very own personal mourning ceremony for Natasha and Vision, who apparently no person aside from them — and Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), I suppose — cared about.

It would have been an incredible second to raise a personality who all the time operated from the shadows, by no means getting the acclaim that Tony all the time obtained. The one time Black Widow stepped into the highlight was on the finish of “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” when a US Senate committee threatened to place her on trial. The individuals of the MCU lastly had an opportunity to provide Natasha the respect she was due, they usually simply didn’t.

On the commentary observe on the house video launch of “Avengers: Endgame,” co-director Joe Russo addressed this concern, and blamed subsequent 12 months’s “Black Widow” film for the dearth of a memorial for Natasha.

“People have asked why Natasha didn’t get the same amount of screen time post-death as Tony did,” Joe Russo stated. “Well, Tony does not have another movie. Tony is done. And Natasha has another film. And Marvel Universe obviously does not have to move forward linearly anymore. But that character still has more screen time coming.”

So there’s your reply — Natasha Romanoff didn’t get an enormous memorial in “Endgame” due to the prequel film popping out subsequent May, whereas Tony Stark isn’t gonna be within the MCU once more for the foreseeable future. Though they didn’t point out Vision particularly, there’s in all probability the same motive for the dearth of affection for him after he died in “Infinity War,” since he’ll be again one way or the other within the “WandaVision” Disney+ present in 2021.

There is an attention-grabbing sentence in that reply, although, that precipitated an enormous exclamation level to pop up over my head, although: “And Marvel Universe obviously does not have to move forward linearly anymore.” Since the MCU has carried out a number of prequel motion pictures that didn’t contain time journey, together with the primary “Captain America” film that was the fourth movie general on this franchise, it appears incorrect to say that the MCU ever “had to” transfer ahead linearly.

To me, this suggests that the “Black Widow” film shall be extra than simply one other prequel like “Captain America: The First Avenger” or “Captain Marvel,” which took us to the previous to arrange heroes that may have an effect on the current. To me, the implication is one thing I’ve lengthy suspected about “Black Widow”: that it’s going to contain characters from the MCU’s post-“Endgame” current one way or the other.
