Reblog if you want a Black Widow movie.
“Do You?”
If I ever stop reblogging this, assume I’m watching the movie at that time.

Congratulations, you have an argument against a Black Widow movie. Now let me tell you why that argument doesn’t really work.
Okay, but she wasn’t really well known to the general public before the movies, so it’s probably best to keep her in a supporting role. It’s just too risky otherwise.
*points to Guardians of the Galaxy*
*also points to Antman, which absolutely no one was clamoring for*
Okay, but she’s too well known now. She’s been in several movies and is very important in the team movies. That’s enough, isn’t it? Give other characters a chance.
*points to three Iron Man movies, soon-to-be three Captain America movies, soon-to-be three Thor movies, and two unsuccessful Hulk movies*
*also points to the fact that in one of those movies an important, character developing scene for her got cut because it “slowed things down” and that will always be considered an acceptable loss until there’s a movie about her and her development specifically*
Okay, but now you’re getting a Captain Marvel movie and a Wonder Woman movie.
*points to twenty million superhero movies starring dudes*
*also points out that lady characters are not interchangeable and that a Black Widow movie would not be the same kind of movie as a Captain Marvel one*
Okay, but she doesn’t have any powers, and that’s not very interesting for a superhero movie.
*points to Batman and his gazillion movies*
*also points to James Bond, Bourne movies, and other popular spy thriller franchises*
Okay, but they follow a strict timeline, so it wouldn’t make sense to do another origin movie for an established character.
*points to her current successful comic run that has nothing to do with her origins but still somehow manages to find interesting stories to tell about her, like, how do they even do it*
Now seems like a good time to add this one…
Okay, but Marvel has a GRAND MASTER PLAN, and they can’t just change it, because plans NEVER change, okay, and it will throw everything off or result in a rush job of a movie.
*points to Spider-Man and laughs hysterically because of fucking course*

- Marvel: to relate to female audience, we will have Black Widow involved in a romance with a team member
- Every Girl I've Ever Heard: I want to see Natasha Romanoff crush a man's skull with her thighs without a single hair falling out of place, and then I want her to terrorize her teammates with bad jokes and pranks
- Marvel: to relate to the female audience we will have Black Window involved in a romance WITH ANOTHER TEAM MEMBER
"And on a personal level, my daughter is six years old now. She just lost her two front teeth, just like Scott Lang’s daughter Cassie in Ant-Man, and is beginning to learn what Daddy does and about the different types of heroes. She has red hair and is constantly pointing at Black Widow and wanting to learn more about that."
— Kevin Feige, man in charge of Marvel Studios, which has not yet announced a Black Widow movie (via fuckyeahblackwidow)

marvel studios is going through a moment where they could literally pick any character and make a successful movie if they wanted to. for fucks sake they made one about a team that not even most marvel comics fans really cared about, when no one was asking for a movie about them, a team that features a talking tree and a talking raccoon, and it had the fucking biggest box office of the year so far. stop giving me those weak ass excuses for the lack of female led movies
LOOK AT ALL THE TRUTH.
GIVE ME MY BLACK WIDOW MOVIE.
