It is perhaps with luck on my part and the incredible thoughtfulness of the MCU writers and directors that they have introduced a solo film dedicated to Natasha Romanoff that has us here, right at this moment.
Bearing witness to what Natasha has gone through, all comes to fruition once we get to know her and for me, this is beautiful. Once a hardened, intelligent and brilliant spy working for the government, barely hinting at any type of emotion that would give her away, Natasha, without a shadow of a doubt, is extremely good at her job. But a job doesn't have to define a person.
Natasha Romanoff, Black Widow, after understanding some parts of her origin, has us perhaps empathising, if not, sympathising with her on some level. And this is where we can finally see her on her own, her strengths, her weaknesses, without being eclipsed by the other Avengers. However, Natasha getting to know them throughout her time on the team gave us, and them, the rare chance to meet the Natasha under the Black Widow; someone who is open minded and more importantly open hearted.
