I really enjoy Marvel’s Netflix shows, Claire Temple is Sick of Your Shit and Claire Temple is Concerned About Your Drinking, and I can’t wait for the third show, Claire Temple Can’t Even Give You Stitches, Please Stop Fucking With Her Career.
You know how in Agent Carter we saw the Red Room girls learning about American culture by watching and reciting along with Snow White?
Please consider: the Red Room, fifty or sixty years later, Natasha one of many girls obediently imitating It’s Patsy!
Idealized American Dream (and, let’s note, pointedly ginger-haired) Patsy on the screen, while tiny murderprincess Natasha Romanoff silently mouths the words, thinking I have to be able to become this while fervently desiring not to, while on the other side of the camera Trish Walker is doing almost the exact same thing.
