If you're a first time viewer of *Black Widow*, then this video is for you! In it, I talk about my reaction to the movie and how Yelena stole the show! From her performance to the character development, Yelena was amazing in this movie and I would highly recommend checking it out!

is this the worst MCU movie? Let me know down below!! Love you guys!
It’s definitely a candidate
We’ve gotta put Thor: The Dark World down for that.
I think the worst has to be Incredible Hulk. Also the next is What if and then Shang Chi before eternals
@@charizard4249 Shang chi is good wdym
@@matthewsanchez3906 no clue
If only this came out in the correct timeline this movie would’ve been received alot better
Should’ve been released after black Panther before infinity war
@@ZandrickKrowe you can thank Bob Paycheck for that. Thankfully he is gone.
Should have came out after iron man 3 but before winter soldier
@@quietfang1 For all that bad he's done, Chapek didn't become CEO until 2020. He didn't have any control over that.
@@jbon9319 He probably meant Ike Perlmutter and got the names mixed up.
Regarding the question of catching up to someone in the air: Thats definitely possible depending on the pose their bodies take in the air. If Yelena on one hand is just falling and stretching out her limbs, she got a lot of air resistance which will slow her down, then we have Natasha on the other hand forming a streamlined pose, she will get significantly faster and could catch up to her.
It's all about drag and terminal velocity, very good!
It's true ! Did this just the other day...
Things you may have missed
This movie takes place after Captain America: Civil War.
In Infinity War, Natasha is wearing Yelana's vest.
You said you hoped that Yelena and Hawkeye would get together but he has a family that we met in Civil War and Endgame.
The villain (Taskmaster) is a lot cooler in the comics than the movie. Has the ability to mimic moves perfectly just by seeing it once. That's why taskmaster was able to take Natasha in a fight. Maybe also mimicked other avengers with the way she threw her shield (like Cap) and shot her arrow (like Hawkeye)
Yep. Every time Taskmaster fights or watches someone, she retains the memory of their style and skills.
Just because Clint has a family doesn't mean he can't fall in love. 🤣
@@disconnexionsdotcom 🤣
Mimicked Black Panther’s fighting style too.
We met his wife in Age of Ultron so him being married has been a thing for quite some time. Alex has the worst memory of any reactor. lol
The movie, Black Widow, is set during the timeline of Civil War, in 2016. The very end of this movie is when Natasha goes to help Steve break their band of Avengers out of the Raft prison.
It's after Civil War, before Infinity War.
It’s after civil war not during
I came in totally expecting to not like this movie. I came away loving it. Scarlet and Florence were incredible together.
It’s super fun. I’ve seen a lot of people call this the “worst of phase 4” and “worse than Eternals” but honestly? It’s fine. If you already hate the MCU, Black Widow won’t change your mind. But if you already enjoy it, this is a fun ride and Yelena is a fantastic character.
I'm with you. I liked it.
Except I actually went in expecting I would
@@CrowTRobot I had a decent time with it, but it's still my least favorite of the phase.
Loved it!
@@CrowTRobothis is one of my favorite marvel movies. i was honestly surprised to see how many ppl disliked it. i was also having a pretty bad day before i watched so it definitely made me laugh. it may not be great compared to other mcu movies, buti think the reason i like this one sm is bc it’s the movie that really got me into marvel. i had a few movies prior but this one made me want to go back to the start and watch everything in order.
If you liked the humor in this movie then you will enjoy Hawkeye. Hawkeye is an underrated character and show-- I think it is because of all of the Avengers, Clint is arguably the most down to earth. He is the literal dad tired snarky dad and I love that.
Hawkeye is appropriately rated. He's the least interesting marvel hero besides falcon.
@@BOOGiNS Hardly.
@@BOOGiNS I feel like although his ‘powers’ are bottom tier, his presence brings a level of humility, wit and a down to earth-ness that balances out the avengers. I loved him in every marvel project that he’s been in.. except (ironically) his own show. I felt he was like a side character in his own show.
But my point is that you can enjoy Hawkeye as a character while also conceding that his powers suck compared to the rest of the heroes.
And Hailee Steinfeld was great as Kate Bishop
@@BOOGiNS Shut up. Just because he doesn’t have powers doesn’t mean he’s not a badass.
Scarlett producing this was part of the reason she ended up suing Disney for not holding up their end of the deal as far as marketing and making it available on Disney+ while still in theaters. Luckily they were able to solve it amicably and Scarlett is reported to be working on a new Marvel project... no details yet on which characters are involved.
Florence Pugh brought so much to this and made an incredible character for Natasha to hand the torch to. Some of the funniest bits, like about not having a period because of the Red Room and the whole Natasha poser thing... Florence made that up herself.
Couple things to remember for the future: Remember what they were having for dinner both at the start and when they met up with the mom... mac and cheese. Remember the whistle.
I think the rumor I saw was that Scarlett was going to be coproducing Thunderbolts which would make sense.
I am still pissed about that whole situation. It being released on Disney+ at the same time was the best thing for me... no driving an hour and a half just to go to a theater. I was very happy to pay the $20 or whatever it was for my family, buy some snacks and make it a family movie night. That whole debacle (and don't get me wrong, they did her contractually dirty) took what I thought was a great plan away. Meant I could see the film in a reasonable amount of time before spoilers where everywhere too. I wish they still did that.
@@seanmahoney2671 The issue is with the contract. Obviously streaming wasn’t written in because it didn’t exist when she signed the contract but movies going to Disney+ is pure profit for Disney and prevents people from revering box office bonuses if it’s written in their contract. That’s why WB and Legendary paid their actors what they thought those movies would make at the box office.
@@meowski617 Yep, it is absolutely the contract. As someone who deals with multimillion dollar contracts for a living, I can tell you that is both parties continue to negotiate in good faith then when something like this comes up, you just renegotiate since neither side had the Disney+ model in mind when negotiating. Instead Disney went the lawyer route of screwing the other side as much as possible instead of acting in good faith and it ruined it.
I went into this one not expecting a whole lot... but I'll be damned if the chemistry between the cast members wasn't damned perfection. Even though their characters weren't sisters, they were raised as sisters and they still manage to act like it. It's hilarious and charming and perfect. Solid action, a good look into her past. It is absolutely not the strongest movie. It wasn't really trying to be. It tied up some questions from past films about her. And set up a couple things for the future.
The good guys are uniformly great in this movie, well acted, good chemistry. The bad guys were just boring, which was the problem for me. If they'd done Taskmaster just halfway ok this would have been a great movie.
Yelena literally might be the best part of Phase 4, that’s how amazing she is.
Her next appearance might be even better tho, can’t wait for you to see her meet her future bestie.
Yeah I’m excited for Florence to be apart of marvel
That's pretty spoilery..
@@disconnexionsdotcom For this reason I doubt Alex actually reads the comments here
@@disconnexionsdotcom I think it’s vague enough to be fine.
@@jonathanpayne4772 I actually liked her a lot better in this movie then in her next appearance. They made her too one dimensional and just a joke
I love this one, the emotion is off the charts with how tragic Natasha's life was from beginning to end.
I don't think it's necessarily that it is a bad movie but the timing. The events take place right before Endgame/Infinity War and by the time this came out we all knew Nat was dead with no possibility of coming back. Because of that I just didn't care as much. My biggest take away was Yelena being awesome.
It really did make it feel like an origin story for Yelena as Black Widow instead of a movie about Natasha.
It's comic books, there's NEVER no possibility of coming back. However, the way Scarlett talks nowadays, it does seem unlikely. But even then, that would only mean the character couldn't come back if they were unwilling to recast.
And no one give me that crap about bringing back Nat or Tony cheapening their sacrifice. I doubt they made their decisions with the thought, "Hey, maybe I'll be resurrected someday." So, it was still every bit the same heroic sacrifice regardless of if they returned someday. This isn't to say that I think they SHOULD bring them back. I'm just saying it's never impossible in comic books.
I already know that next week, this man Alex is going to have so much fun with Hawkeye. It is perfect timing too since it is a Christmas show. I loved Hawkeye but a lot of people didn't.
Edit: I forgot about What If, Shang Chi, and Eternals. Christmas spirit got ahead of me.
He still has "What if?", "Schang Chi" and "Eternals" to watch before hawkeye
Shang-Chi and Ms. Marvel are so underrated, and I honestly don’t get why people hated Hawkeye so much, bro! Maybe they weren’t expecting a Christmas comedy, bro.
@@lI_Speedor_Il I completely blanked on those ones. I guess we won't watch Hawkeye during the Christmas season.
to be fair, Alex could skip ahead to Hawkeye and come back to the order. won't make any difference
@@CrowTRobot Hawkeye is fine for what it turned out to be, I just think alot of people (including myself) were just disappointed in the direction they chose to take. I really wanted them to delve more into the Ronin character and the backstory with it and get into all these shit he was doing between Infinity War and Endgame. Like they talked about how he made enemies around the world but I wanted them to show it more. Also, I get they had to introduce Kate Bishop but the show made her more of the main character and I was invested in Clint and his story but he took a backseat.
Having said that, once I got over the disappointment of what I wanted the show to be and accepted it for what it was, it was fine. Not bad, not great, but fine. I was excited for the arrival of a certain character tho, that was a cool moment.
He is in Siberia. Nothing around for miles, he escapes, he dies.
That vest that is bought by Yelena s the same vest that Natasha wears in Infinity War. It's a neat little tie between the sisters.
Yep, and this movie makes you understand why she suddenly had gone blonde in Infinity War as well. Other than the end credit scene... this one kind of would have bene better to watch in chronological order... normally I don't feel that way.
I wish they would have left in the bonus ending where Natasha goes to visit her old house. Such a beautiful closing scene to her story.
I really liked this movie. Especially the beginning. I also got chills in the beginning scene. The ending fits too...
Yes, I agree that the villain isn’t the greatest and they should have given Black Widow her movie sooner. But better late than never😅
I loved this film, too. The family dynamic and social issues were well done.
Around this time Disney Plus started releasing catch-up segments under their Marvel Legends series. With the amount of small tid-bits about Natasha scattered across several movies, they recapped all the necessary info you'd need going into the movie. Sort of like a 'Previous On' segment for TV shows. I highly recommend you check them out going further.
As someone stated, this took place after Civil War and before Infinity War (remember she had the blonde hair), so there is that. A little background about comic version of Yelena Belova. She trained in the Red Room and was so good that she had exceed all of Natasha's previous records and the second person to hold the title of Black Widow. She was often task with bringing her down, but Natasha's had the advantage of years in the field that Yelena could never actually beat her. There is a lot more, but I don't want to spoil anything for you that they might use. I have always been a big fan of the underdog and I LOVE her comic book look as well!
Also, as others have said, Hawkeye is happily married lol.
yes this is setting up the future MCU with a new Black Widow. I liked the film but it's release caused a big rift between Scarlet and Disney. I think she sued them because of how it was meant for a theatrical release and after several pushes (because of Cv19) they decided to release it on Disney Plus. As one of the OG Avengers first female solo film it really should have gotten it's day in a theater and sad that i didn't. I would have love to have seen how well it might have done in the box office.
"You can put your weed in here"
From The Hot Chick 😂
Beat me to it. 😂
Technically from Rob Schneider SNL skits first
''Tell me they gonna meet and fall in love''
Bro, Clint have wife and kids XD
Loving your reactions homie. People get very argumentative about Phase 4, but every single project has something to like about it. This is one of the projects that some people call “the worst” but you still found some enjoyment in it (Yelena and Alexei are such good characters). Looking forward to all of your phase 4 reactions 🙌
yep, since Infinity wars and endgame, people put their expectations to that level and they dont even realize it. I honestly can say if I have to compare phase 4 with phase 2, phase 4 movies are more solid. People who like phase 2 just because its nostalgic to their past MCU hype. But hey to each their own I guess
@@takewhataway I mean, Phase 2 had Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy back-to-back, but the other 4 movies are definitely mid.
@@Stanos_1 exactly. People forgot that back in the first 10 years, its a hit and miss too. And usually after we watch them again and again, connecting things, we like them more or put some meaning to the movies. Phase 4 is growing. Until we see what they wanna do in the end, im not sure we can compare them equally
@@takewhataway Well hopefully by the time Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars come out, the puzzle pieces are put together cuz as of right now this has been the worst phase easily. This movie was straight up unnecessary. It's only real purpose was to introduce Yelena. I doubt we even see any more of these characters again.
agreed!!!❤
Clint is already married, Alex. Remember the whole blip at the beginning of Endgame and his wife calling him right after they were brought back?
I mean...we visited his wife and kids in Age of Ultron.
I feel like, nowadays, reactors are more interested in being funny to the camera than paying attention. Clint's family was shown and mentioned across a couple of movies. How do you forget? Lol
This dude's an idiot. He's only interested in making stupid jokes and the attention. He doesn't pay any attention to the movies.
I really love how Natasha is always strategizing: obviously in her confrontation with D at the Red Rm, but also earlier on in the bridge fight. It didn't dawn on me until my 2nd watch, but she caught on quickly that the contents of the case were crucial and analyzed how to get Taskmaster to HELP her escape with them, practically choreographing the next part of the fight so that T gave her that kick out into the water! Always thinking and planning🤩I can't relate to people who say this (or anything, really) is "the worst". I get disgusted with the fandom habit of DECLARING something "the worst"/"the best"/etc, as if that's an objective fact that is obvious to everyone, when it is actually only an OPINION - just say, "I hated this/ loved this/ etc" and maybe even include a constructive critique, ["it's dumb" doesn't count as constructive]. Instead, we're spreading around these declarations to each other as if everyone is supposed to have the same taste in entertainment; it's just wrong😖😞
True. I always found myself enjoying movies that were classified as "the worst" such as Dark World and Iron Man 2, even Eternals and Love and Thunder.
@@vangxiong1382 I still don't understand all the hate for Eternals. I though it was good and it was different.
King, you miss so much by cracking jokes when they are talking, then you ask what/why is that when they just said it. You didn't used to joke quite as much, and believe me, we don't need much entertaining. Most just want to see your enjoyment and honest reaction to the movie (along with your take on it)!
Love your reactions, thanks for doing these dude! Also, just a reminder: Hawkeye/Clint is happily married with kids! He's not having sexy times with the Widow sisters 😋. Can't wait for more MCU reactions!
love you!
Did you forget that Clint is married?
Also, Taskmaster was severely underutilised and they didn't explain her power which is to learn her enemies skills.
Criminally underused.
They explained her skill just fine. But the character was underutilized
Her character was under utilized on purpose. She's coming back for Thunderbolts...so this was her origin story of sorts, and they'll flesh her out more in her coming roles.
@@TheViper4Life Exactly. You don't hire an actress like Olga Kurylenko for a small throwaway role.
If you watch infinity war you can see Natasha using the vest Yelena gave her
The new glasses are pretty sweet. Got a bit of a Tony Stark vibe to them
It’s not the best MCU movie but imo not the worst. That dishonor goes to Eternals
Fun fact: young Natasha is played by Milla Jovovich’s (Alice from Resident Evil) daughter
Yes “Thunderbolt” Ross has appeared in The Incredible Hulk, Civil War and briefly in Infinity War. RIP William Hurt 🙏🏻
“You’re forgetting Draykov’s daughter” this one is very easy to miss but in The Avengers when Loki was trying to manipulate Nat, he asked if she could wash away so much red, looks her in the eye and says “Draykov’s daughter.” This movie finally explained what that was all about. This movie also explains what the Budapest thing with Clint was and why in Endgame Nat talked about how the Avengers were her only “real” family
“Can the person catch up?” Yes actually. Yelena having her arms and legs out slows her fall due to drag and Nat having everything tucked in makes her more aerodynamic therefore faster, plus she had a running start so she has momentum going into the dive. It would be akin to dropping a piece of paper from your roof and then throwing a dart at it. That dart would definitely hit the paper before either of them hit the ground
There’s several reasons this movie got rated so low:
1. This movie got made AFTER Nat was already dead in universe but takes place between Civil War and Infinity War so it didn’t make a whole lot of sense to make the movie to begin with (it was meant to come out early on in the MCU but a sexist exec kept preventing it from happening)
2. This movie got delayed like 4-5 times so after it came out most thought it hadn’t been worth the wait
3. Believe it or not a lot of people don’t necessarily like when MCU movies are too comedic.
4. The worst offense this movie did was completely butcher Taskmaster. My info on him is limited but if I’m remembering right, in the comics Taskmaster has an eidetic memory so can learn people’s fighting style and either replicate or defend against them after a single encounter and he’s actually a very tough adversary for The Avengers. Most people disliked the gender swap but even more people hated how they turned the badass Taskmaster into basically Draykov’s mind controlled guard dog. And the fact Nat defeated her so easily in this did not help.
5. I don’t know if this at all contributed to it but this was the first movie to release after Disney+ launched so Disney released this both theatrically and on D+ on the same day. However ScarJo’s contract hadn’t been renegotiated so she wasn’t making any money from the D+ views. And D+ views were much higher than theaters cuz of convenience and price so she was getting screwed out of a lot of money. So she sued and that was a whole thing for a month or so. I think Disney eventually settled and made it a new rule that movies would be solely in theaters for at least 45 days before being added to D+
I agree, this movie is fine and has some fun moments but overall one of the weaker entries. Phase 4 was very experimental so there’s gonna be a few hits and misses as you go along
Can't wait for Shang-Chi, it's the standout of post Infinity Wars movies.
Oh and surely you're slipping Venom in somewhere?
Yelena is my spirit animal: My absolute favorite Marvel movie.
That makes a lot of sense
Florence Pugh is an international treasure
Mans forgot Hawkeye is married with a family.
Speaking of which, please release the Hawkeye reactions for Christmas. It would be perfect
"can put your weed in there" quote is said by Adam Sandler in Hot Chicks!, such a funny movie
Fun fact: It's actually difficult and somewhat dangerous to attack a single person as a large group. There's only so many openings to inflict harm and your chances of hurting an ally by mistake are pretty high. Realistically, you can only have around 2-3 people on a single person before things get just as dangerous for the group as they are for the individual, and a well trained lone fighter can usually pretty easily maneuver to make even that small number of people ineffective and manipulate things to get the number of simultaneous assailants down to one.
Norway is definitely a great vacation destination. Best part about it? Driving. Great roads with magnificent views. Very little traffic - sometimes you drive for hours without encountering anybody. Very disciplined and safe drivers too. It's an absolute pleasure to drive through Norway.
I don't think they'd fall in love because Clint has a wife and kids. 🤣
+ isn't Yelena canonically aromantic/asexual?
No man I loved it. One of the best for me. Don’t get the hate, it was creative and fantastic and introduces Yelena, I can’t wait to see more of her in the future of the MCU. I think it was brilliant the way they did this, the things we didn’t get to see in the midst of the Civil War plot. Her background is super emotional and I think it adds to the feeling of loss we all have after losing her in End Game. The beginning sequence made me shed a tear for sure. Yeah, I understand what you mean about Taskmaster, but I don’t really view her as the villain of the movie. After it’s revealed that her own father was controlling her as if she was just another Black Widow she became a victim of sorts in my mind. Dracov is the real villain. He wasn’t the best either since we didn’t really see him for the majority of the film, but I thought the way she broke the connection between him and freed the others were pretty badass.
If we are putting out suggestions, I’d suggest checking out Wednesday. I don’t know if your familiar with the Adams Family or any of the shows and movies but it’s an 8 episode series focusing on one of the Adams kids ( Wednesday, of course). She gets sent off to this fancy boarding school for “outcasts” ( which basically just means unusual people, monsters, kids with powers- very monster high/ X-menish). It’s directed by Tim Burton ( which has only had one bad egg in his career in my opinion), and gets very dark at times, has a bit of teen drama but is defined by the strong murder mystery elements. There’s already talk of it getting a season two this early after release, which should already tell you it’s worth it.
People should bring up on rotten tomatoes it’s the 4th highest audience score marvel project! It’s just a vocal minority on the internet.
the suggestions are for the Patrons
If you didn't notice, Taskmaster watched video of all of the avengers to mimic their moves. You can see them use a lot of Natasha's moves, a bunch of Winter Soldier (especially because Hydra/Shield worked with the Red Room and supposedly Bucky as Winter Soldier taught a bunch of the widows gun combat moves and the mind control developed was based on what they used with Winter Soldiers) plus some Cap, Rhodey, Spiderman and Hawkeye.
Taskmaster, the villain of this movie, is actually an amazing villain in the comics and most games and shows they've appeared in. Usually a man, he has photographic muscle memory, meaning if he sees someone do anything, he can copy it perfectly. He's copied the fighting styles of Captain America, Spider-Man, Deadpool, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and many other heroes and villains making him a formidable foe in close quarters. He's typically a henchman, but he's gone on to run a dojo to teach other villains how to fight.
Yes, Scarlett Johansen was a producer on this film. She sued Disney because she was due a cut of the box office and she felt Disney undercut the film's potential profits by simultaneously offering it on Disney+.
usually whenever an actor gets titles like that they do nothing extra just a way of giving them something extra
@@Tolandruth Doesn''t matter if she so much as picked up an empty coffee cup on set if that's what the deal called for.
Just letting you know, I’m going through some dark times about now and your videos always bring up my spirits. I appreciate you! Thank you!
keep your head high!
Taskmaster was a let down in this when compared to the comics. Taskmaster was a villain with a superpower called, Photographic Reflexes. Which meant, he could watch someone doing rodeo stuff for about an hour and then he could do rodeo stuff. Any sort of physical type of skill he could replicate at master level if he viewed a master for an hour. He gave the avengers a run for their money early on with Caps fighting and shield abilities, Hawkeye's Bow abilities, etc.
"there gonna meet and fall in love!"
Alex, Clint is married with three children. Their marriage survived years of him being in SHIELD and then an avenger, the snap, etc.
I love youre doing these, getting to relive them all!!
I love this movie. Unapologetically.
It’s funny to me that you mention Old Spice and sandwiches. When I was a kid, my dad would always make me a sandwich to take to school for lunch. I don’t remember complaining about them, but he told me (once I’d grown up) that I said they tasted gross. He never knew why until he made a sandwich for himself and realized that the Old Spice aftershave on his hands was tainting all of the ingredients.
I guess it was vindication I didn’t even know I deserved. Thanks for bringing that memory back to me.
Florence Pugh can hang out in the MCU as long as she pleases. Excellent Widow.
Also, William Hurt’s character, General “Thunderbolt” Ross, has just been recast by Harrison Ford, due to Hurt passing away.
Pigs are very smart actually, smarter than dogs & about as smart as a 3-4 year old human child
This movie hits really close to home for me! The sister relationship between Yelena and Nat really reminds me of my sister, and how is not always the perfect relationship but it’s real. I definitely thought they did such a good job of creating the sibling bond. It’s not my favorite marvel movie, more toward the middle for me. I think it ranks so high for me is the sibling aspect. Yelena is my absolute favorite character, and I thought this was a perfect introduction for her character. What I think a lot of people don’t like is that it felt more like Yelena’s story than Nat’s
Great video man, glad u enjoyed it over all, I feel like it was long overdue as well
love you Izzy
So this takes place after Civil war but before infinity war. Kinda shows us the reason Natasha felt she had to save someone “her sister” in endgame
I also really do love this movie. Yelena grabbed my heart immediately and I can't wait for more of her. Hawkeye show definitely delves more into it.
The cast & tone of this film remind me of a few other films I'd love to see Alex react to, i.e.:
- *Lucy* (stars Scarlett Johansson)
- *The Mummy trilogy* (stars Rachel Weisz)
- *G.I. Joe: Retaliation* (similar tone)
- *Violent Night* (stars David Harbour)
- *Oz the Great & Powerful* (stars Rachel Weisz), etc
Midsommar (Florence Pugh)
Fun with physics:
When it comes to falling objects, wind resistance is the crucial factor. If you're falling, and you want to reduce your velocity as much as possible. you lie flat and spread your arms and legs to maximize your cross-sectional surface area and thus wind resistance. (Watch Captain America when he jumps out of the elevator at the Triskelion in *Captain America: The Winter Soldier.) If you want to fall faster, you point your entire body like a spear straight down, much like a high diver. This minimizes your cross-section and cuts down wind resistance. So it's at least theoretically possible for a "pointy" fast-falling individual to "catch up" with a "flat" slower-falling one.
alex listen to movie and stop asking questions that are about to be answered challenge: impossible
I was hoping you’d get around to these, please do Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings next
Grab the snacks and Chill hes doing them in release order
he's doing it all in order and has been so he'll get to it obviously, i assume next he'll watch What If before shang chi
@@joshbrosh6626 yeah I’m not rushing him at all, I was unsure what order they were being done in because I caught up at a later time
I love, love, love this film! Black Widow is one of the lesser known characters (back story-wise) and this brings everyone up to speed. In my opinion though, Marvel kind of treated it as an introduction to Yelena (I love her character too), while giving info about Nat. I think this movie was made to further the story for Hawkeye the Series and set up Thunderbolts.
This movie takes place in the time frame right after Captain America: Civil War. The post-credit stinger takes place after End Game.
I am actually from Norway! It does have so many beautiful locations, so would recommend travelling to different fjords and places while here. Love your videos btw
Black Widow was wearing the vest her sister gave her in Infinity War
I am basically waiting room for Daredevil. (also Marvel show) Your reactions are insane and full of energy and I really ejnoy watching them. Thank you
PS I'll let you know about Norway since I had bought fly tickets to witness Christmas there
Yeees
Hell yes! And people can say whatever they want about She-Hulk (i didn’t love it but it was fine) but they NAILED Daredevil. Bringing back Charlie Cox was such a good call, you can tell he really loves the character.
Also Kingpin is a top 3 villain. Easy.
For the question of; If someone falls/jumps off something high and someone jumps after them, can they catch up, the answer is yes. If the first person flares out as much as possible parallel to the ground to present the largest surface area it'll slow their descent comparatively to the pursuer if the second jumper leans into the fall and tucks into a perpendicular dive towards the ground. A smaller surface area and a narrow profile produces less drag and would let the pursuer approach terminal velocity faster and catch up to a falling target if the target is doing anything to slow their fall and isn't also at or approaching terminal velocity.
I didn’t even know this movie got bad press. I loved it, and like you I loved the humor. It was so much better than I expected.
You should watch Hawkeye next as it is set at Christmastime.
Love the reactions. Also, the new glasses suits you
"There's no 2nd 'R' in Sherbet!" The best thing I have heard all week. Drives me nuts when people put in that 2nd R.
"You can put your weed in here" was originally an SNL skit from waaaaaaaaay back in 1993. They reused the skit in The Hot Chick in 2002. :D
Black widow was a movie I was not hyped to watch, but ended up loving it. Not quite as good as winter soldier but a fairly similar vibe to me.
The What If animated series should be next.
This movie takes place between Civil War after the airport scene and the post credit scene of Civil War
I loved Yelena, Guardian, and Melina. The intro and credits were great, and the general IDEA of the movie was interesting it was just the wrong timing. Also really disliked the Taskmaster reveal, nothing to do with the gender swapped (I thought was going to be Melina when the trailers first came out anyway) it was just the execution of it, such a cool character wasted. Hopefully they can redeem her in Thunderbolts.
Agreed. Taskmaster reveal was whatever but I loved meeting Natasha’s family and I can’t wait to see them again. Alexei is going to be wildcard in Thunderbolts, calling it now.
I’m so excited for Thunderbolts!
first time hearing people think Black Widow was on the low end, this was one of my favorite. and i have a huge crush on Yelena so there's that.
Really that’s reason enough 😂
Wait, who is he hoping falls in love? Hawkeye has a family, Alex.
The girl who plays Young Natasha is the daughter of Milla Jovovich and director Paul W.S. Anderson.
She looks so much like Milla.
I absolutely love this movie and I don't know how this movie is rated so bad
The funny thing is Red Guardian (Alexei) keeps talking about Captain America, but doesn't recognize Steve, so the only person he is probably talking about is Isaiah Bradley from Falcon and Winter Soldier. Do you think Hawkeye who is happily married with kids is going to fall in love with Yelena?
They are gonna meet and fall in love
Hawkeye's wife: 👁👄👁
I love how he keeps trying to ship Nat and/or Yelena with Clint yet forgetting that Clint is married with kids
yeppp
I agree that it was a fun movie. Not near the bottom at all for me. I went into it with low expectations, just feeling like, although BW has been such a great character, this was just a movie that few wanted and nobody needed. The thing about Natasha is that she is a great supporting character. There was really no need to try to make her a compelling lead character. That aspect of the film was actually handled well, IMO. For all intents and purposes, Natasha was practically a co-lead in what ended up being a small ensemble movie, and that worked well. It was great to title it "Black Widow," because it wasn't a Natasha movie--it was a movie about black widows. And while this film didn't end up making me love Yelena, it gave us a great arc and lots of development for her that is making her a great character moving forward.
There were basically three things that bugged me: (1) Taskmaster was poorly written and a wasted opportunity; (2) the action in the final act was so over the top that it kind of took me out of the moment; and (3) the editing/writing at the very end between Natasha giving herself up and about to be taken into custody, and then mysteriously being free and about to go break everyone out of The Raft made no sense. On point #3, I say "editing/writing" because I don't know which. I don't know if it was actually written well, but crucial information was left on the cutting room floor, or if it was just badly written from the beginning. But it made no sense and still bugs me. We know from Civil War, Infinity War, and the beginning of this film that Ross was really hot to have her locked up. It makes no sense for her to be just about to be locked up, and then mysteriously free. Either don't have her get caught in the first place, or have her make a comment about getting caught on purpose and having contacts that will help her break everyone out from the inside, or something. This ending bugged me.
That said, again, I again agree that it was an overall run, enjoyable Marvel movie. I enjoyed this one more than I thought I would, and would put it somewhere in the middle of the pack for the MCU individual hero films.
Marvel will probably more with the character in Thunderbolts. For me the character itself being a mindless slave to her father was fucked up and it made her a more sympathetic character in the end.
I do wonder if this movie would have been received differently if it was released chronologically, the next movie after Civil War.
It has its flaws regardless, but that might have been an improvement.
Almost a year late but 15:25 is an Adam Sandler quote from "The Hot Chick" circa 2002. (And I didn't even look through the comments for reference. Just knew it because it is one of the funniest running gags I ever saw in a movie 🤣).
My husband and I saw this in theaters and absolutely loved it, also having a young daughter the beginning 10minutes made us both cry. Thanks for a great reaction video 😊
Great reaction buddy.
There is a teaser easter egg setting this movie up WAAAAYYY back in the first Avengers movie in 2012, when Loki was the bad guy and was captured and was a prisoner on the Helicarrier. Loki had mind-controlled Clint and got information about Natasha, and as a result - when Natasha went to interrogate Loki, and said she had a lot of red in her ledger, Loki responded, "can you wipe out that much red? Drakov's daughter?". It took 9 years, but they finally paid that line off here in Black Widow.
As far as where this falls in the timeline - it's between Civil War and Infinity War. If you recall in Infinity War when we first see Natasha, she has blonde hair and that vest on, and wears it throughout Infinity War.
Alexi is "the Red Guardian" who was the Russian counterpart to Captain America. He had some version of a super soldier serum although it's not stated exactly how all that went down.
The ending with Val sets up the Hawkeye show which is coming up soon on your radar, it was really good too I thought.
I also really liked this movie and I liked the focus on the family aspect. Yelena's scene at the table, "it was real to me", boy, that gets me.
Cheers
To Alex, there’s a section on Disney plus that has the marvel shows and movies in chronological timeline order. As others mentioned, this movie took place after Civil War.
this movie takes place in between Civil War and Infinity War--Nat is on the run at the beginning from General Ross for breaking the Sokovia Accords and turning on Tony.
Florence Pugh was amazing in this movie; I fell in love completely. No, I didn't see this as the worst MCU film. I enjoyed it for what it was; a send off for Natasha Romanov. Could we see Scarlett return in the future? It's a big Multi-verse, so you never know.
Florence, not Katherine.
Katherine? 😅
who’s katherine lmao
Weird that I typed Katherine. I knew damn well her name was Florence. Thanks for catching it ya'll.
Fun Fact: There is a Catherine Pugh, former Politician from Baltimore Maryland, who was sentenced to 3 years in Prison for tax evasion. I live on the West Coast, so I doubt it was a Freudian slip.
I have Zero idea why there is so much hate about this Movie. I watched it in the Cinema Theater and I find the whole motion picture fascinating and enjoyable. The plot is there and there are a lot of cool and interesting dialogues. I find it not in the bottom but in the top of my favorite Marvel movies universe.
I love the line from Adam Sandler 'You can put your weed in here'😂😂😂 Hot Chicks is my movie. 😂😂😂😂
Continue with Marvel Mondays, but move onto the Netflix shows, then the ABC TV Shows like Agent Carter and Agents of Shield. As someone who mainly comes here for your Marvel content, I would be interested in seeing your view of the outer MCU series.
I rate Shang-Chi as one the the better MCU movies and I hope you get to the Hawkeye series soon as it follows on from this one.
Perhaps for one of you stand alone reactions you might consider JoJoRabbit which also feature Scarlet in a none action role but more comedic.
Ah, Jojo Rabbit is an amazing movie!
I award this video as one of the best reactions to Black Widow that I've seen :D
I live in that area in Norway and we stalked the filming sites for both this and one of the Mission Impossible movies. My daughters dog went crazy at Tom Cruise when they met him on a stroll😂
Damn! I've Googled it, and I still don't know what the reference is to "sitting here like a Darwin" (in this video, but you mention that in other ones too)!
Hey Alex, if you haven't watched the Daredevil show I highly recommend checking it out as soon as possible, it's also connected to the MCU.
It is very good
The one actor you were trying to remember was in Incredible Hulk and Civil War. He sadly passed away. Harrison Ford has been casted to replace him.
Taskmaster is so much cooler in the comics and was such a waste of a villain in this movie. In the comics he is basically Deathstoke, but way better. He can copy any fighting style just by seeing it. To the point that he carriers around a shield like Captain America, a bow like Hawkeye, and a Sword like Black Knight. He has learned all their fighting styles.
Eternals was as good as it can be with as many characters and things it introduces and I believe it will age well with many connections to upcoming titles
Seeing the references to Kingo post-eternals is hilarious.

"You can put your weed in here" -Adam Sandler, The Hot Chick. I know the movie, FANTASTIC quote!
