Scarlett is a terrible Black Widow


She can't do a Russian Accent,she looks awful in fight scenes and after Avengers she looks less athletic and her faces changes too. Scarlett aside mcu Widow is a very boring character. I like Widow in the Books along with Hawkeye and Fury,but they all suck in the mcu.
Shame MCU has killed these characters

I know about Yelena and honestly I dislike the choice,we should have two sexy badass athletic human weapons fighting it out

when i saw this i think of actress like bridget moynahan,if they did this in early 2000s or back when iron man 2 started then she would have got the part she really is a great artist and looks closer to yelena.

look at her in this poster below of this film circa 2004 all she needs is blonde hair i dont know if shes one in real life but needed little training in action there you go you have new black widow yelena belova

anyway but as for this project we will have to see what direction is taken not by director but by the studios if they really want to make it closer to the comics then it will happen otherwise it will look like hilarious hitman agent 47 2015 film.

She can't do a Russian Accent

She uses some kind of neutral accent, which fits the character that's supposed to be some super-spy. It would be better to have a godd Russian accent, but this is a credible option.

she looks awful in fight scenes

Beg you pardon??? Black widow's fight scenes are way better than 99% of female lead fight scenes. You don't see her knocking down big guys with a punch, something that breaks immersion.

after Avengers she looks less athletic and her faces changes too

Yeap, that's true. It's called 'age'. She has been in the franchise since Iron Man 2.

reply

i wont say it depends or its a choice but id say its up to the mood of filmmakers if they want to make it a joke it then there is nothing we can do about it the film will turn out ultra cheesy but if they are choosing serious dark approach then hell yes this will be epic.

reply

Thats just a lazy excuse to justify the lack of a Russian Accent.

Not even close to the best.

Age? Shes not even that old lol. There are lots of actresses, fitness models and athletes that are her age and older that still look better

reply

iron man 2 is super cheesy 1 is better but even i have to admit i saw iron man 2 only for scarlet but when avengers came she was ruined ,the fight scenes were still cheesy but hey its a movie.if want realistic fight then watch stevens seagal early 90s films.

but like i said earlier its too early we will have to see the trailer to see what this looks like,and this is still in production shooting then you have issues of reshoots,its not complete yet so until its completed i cant say.

reply

Her fight scenes in Winter Captain were great, and besides that she had chemistry with Chris Evans. It's a pity that was the only movie that used them working as a couple.

I guess it depends on the director.

reply

The reality is she isn't sexy enough anymore. This is a comic book heroine that is supposed to be hot. Scarlet could have been considered for the part in her prime but she no longer fits the bill. Her fun bags have started to become sag bags and she just looks too much like a middle aged soccer mom. One can only hope they keep all of her clothes on as I've seen the photos of her in a swimsuit and while I do enjoy cheese, I like it on my pizza not the backside of a woman's legs.

reply

Agreed. She's still a hot lady, but not 'Hollywood Star' hot level as she was.

Actually, this thread goes about the same subject:

reply

Have you seen the cast of Birds of Prey? Hollywood's bench mark is different now. They are trying to teach us something or some shit.

Personally, I never liked Scarlet as BW. She can act fairly well in other roles but is terrible as BW. I disagree about her sexy level. I think that she was and is very attractive.

I would say that I am glad that she is leaving the role but truth is that I don't really care any more. I don't see myself watching any more Marvel other than Dr Strange 2. Infinity War was the peak and while I enjoyed many parts of Endgame, it was not great (like much of what Marvel puts out now). So cast who you want. Do 5 Cpt Marvel sequels in a row. I don't care.

reply

Even during Iron Man 2 I don't think she was a good fit she looks nothing like comic widow. Her face is vey off. The only thing i can say is she looked athetic up til Avengers but after that she starts looking less athetic and her face start looking jacked up after each movie. in endgame she looks like hell. Its not her age plenty of women her age and older look better than her

reply

I agree; SJ might be another case of 'actress whose beliefs and personality don't match her character at all' but I find her quite fit and attractive and her characters' fights are believable and done well - i'm no martial arts expert but I can tell BW uses some kind of style involving using her body weight to flip and throw people around -- how someone might realistically effectively fight bigger, stronger opponents.

reply

Fully agreed.

Obviously, it's still a 'Hollywood' fight. It's not real, but it feels real enough to keep immersion. She uses her weight and her legs. And that's credible enough: women lack strength in the upper body in comparison with men, but they can almost match them in lower body strength.

reply

I agree....

reply

scarlett is a horrible actress that cant offer anything but good boobage, her fight scenes are VERY cringy, her acting skill 0 zero, she must have sucked the right dicks in hollywood to get all these roles or her ashkenazi connection, maybe both idk bro.

reply

LOL ha haa ah man thats funny but still as for the movie we cant say until teaser or trailer hits online on the web,and dont go reading critics and garbage websites they bullshit and mislead the audience,hey man i dont care about no website dont read any just putting it out here...peace

reply

That sounds.. jealous?

reply

I agree with OP about BW and Hawkeye. Scarlett looks fantastic and her stunt double does some great fight scenes but her portrayal of BW is about as bland and uninteresting as it gets. The only character development that had any value with her at all was her calming relationship with Banner (which they kinda fucked up too). They miscast the role which is shocking given the general way that Marvel nailed casting in those early days. They went with Scar for the star-power and that is utterly all that they got.

I hope they do better with the new one in phase 20.

what do you guys think of bloodshot just asking its off topic but guys i gotta tell you there is a villian in 1993 issue 51 go read it its the final boss bad guy called proteus he appears in the comics and looks insane wanna see the pic here it is.

its diesel time vin diesel has nailed the role of bloodshot.report is that its the best film ever made vin diesel himself saw it and got shocked check his instagram its intense and like no other film hes ever seen.

reply

Never read one. Quit 40 year comic book collecting run about 3 years ago. I have heard that Bloodshot is good but... "Birthquake??" Birthquake?!?!?

reply

Bloodshoot is awesome. I'm not the biggest Valient Fan but I always loved Bloodshot and Ninjak. Bloodshot is like a punisher mixed with Frankenstein's monster is the best way to describe him,but unlike Punisher he has humanity and tries to live a normal life while killing mobsters.

I thought she was great, but I don't have much interest in prequels.
