Black Widow’s sacrifice in “Avengers: Endgame” left the audience with many emotions, and became one of the most controversial scenes for Marvel fans.

While Iron Man ‘s death is considered a perfect ending, putting an end to a glorious era of the MCU, Black Widow ‘s death is considered by many to be nothing more than a cheap shocker. money, wasting a character full of potential.

Here are Black Widow’s 10 most memorable moments in the MCU

10. Pretending to be ignorant to trick Loki

As an international spy, in addition to excellent combat abilities, Natasha Romanoff has also proven her intelligence and resourcefulness many times. A typical example is the scene between Loki and Natasha in The Avengers . Loki was known to be cunning and cunning, but in the end he let Black Widow play a trick, causing him to accidentally reveal his plan.

 

9. Confront Proxima Midnight

In Avengers: Infinity War , Black Widow encounters Proxima Midnight twice. Proxima Midnight is one of Thanos ‘ most trusted servants , so clearly this is not an average opponent. The most memorable moments between the two sides were on Wakanda.

It’s a shame that Natasha didn’t survive to fight in the final battle of Endgame , otherwise we would have been able to admire a thrilling confrontation between two formidable warriors.

8. Abandoned by Bruce

The relationship between Black Widow and Bruce Banner has evolved a lot and taken a romantic direction throughout Age of Ultron . Ultimately, for the common good, Natasha pushed Bruce off a cliff, causing him to transform into the Hulk to fight Ultron . Bruce then flew the Quinjet away, leaving Natasha behind. Not only does she have to deal with the guilt of “betraying” Bruce, but she also has to take responsibility for sending him into outer space.

7. Encounter with the Winter Soldier

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a story that focuses heavily on the complicated relationship between Captain America and his best friend Bucky . In this episode, Black Widow plays a role like Cap’s “sidekick”, she is also put in an awkward situation when she discovers that the government she serves has been lying to her for a long time. Not to mention, Black Widow also had a pretty satisfying duel with the Winter Soldier .

6. Mission in Budapest

In Endgame , Iron Man’s story line recalls some of his signature details such as his love for cheeseburgers and his famous line “I’m Iron Man”. Black Widow is also a similar case.

In the first Avengers episode , Natasha jokes with Hawkeye about a mission in Budapest and how their memories of the place are different. In Endgame , when Natasha and Hawkeye travel to a planet in the past, Hawkeye says, “We’re very far from Budapest.” and Natasha smiled. It can be said that this is a detail that not all audiences pay attention to.

5. Close to Hawkeye’s family

As we saw in Age of Ultron , Natasha is quite close to Hawkeye’s family, so much so that the two children even call Natasha by the affectionate name “Aunt Nat”. During the battle to sacrifice each other to get the Soul Stone between Hawkeye and Natasha, both also constantly mentioned his family. These are small details but play an important part in portraying the close, family-like relationship between Natasha and Hawkeye.

4. Influence on Hulk

In Age of Ultron , in addition to being an expert in close combat, Black Widow also has the task of helping Hulk calm down in emergencies. Only Black Widow succeeds in this by using the saying “The sun is setting…”.

This “sleep lullaby” became a tactic that many other Avengers tried to use against Hulk without Black Widow but it was all useless. Now, Hulk and Bruce have become “in harmony” with each other, so using this line is no longer necessary.

3. Classic close combat in Iron Man 2

Although Iron Man 2 received many mixed opinions from experts, there is one thing that everyone agrees on, which is Scarlett Johansson ‘s amazing performance . One of the most ecstatic moments is the extremely eye-catching close combat in the hallway of Black Widow.

2. Fight a brainwashed Hawkeye

In The Avengers , Hawkeye is brainwashed and has a dramatic, emotional battle with Black Widow. It can be said that Hawkeye and Black Widow have quite a few similarities. Both are experienced warriors, have worked in intelligence and fought together against aliens. In the end, they fought and sacrificed for the great cause.

1. Take down your opponent even though they are tied to a chair

When appearing in The Avengers , Natasha was tied to a chair and interrogated by a group of criminals. Later, Nat is informed by phone that “a Norse god has stolen a valuable object from SHIELDS.” So in just a moment, with the most luxurious demeanor possible, she untied herself and used the scraps of the chair to deal with her opponent.

Currently, Black Widow is no more, but fans will still have the opportunity to see Natasha Romanoff again in the future through a solo project about her earlier life. Hopefully MCU will not disappoint the audience’s expectations.
