If she doesn't like being famous (and rich) because of her looks, she should put on a burka and see how far her "acting" gets her.

The IM2 line was 'I want one' not 'I want some'

In the comics Natasha has loads of sex appeal.

I like the line. It's exactly what MCU Stark would say.

It’s kinda her fault, she shouldn’t be so hot.

She isn't complaining but simply pointing out how things have evolved over the years when it comes to the representation of women in movies. It is true what she says that young actresses today are portrayed differently than how she was introduced as Black Widow over 10 years ago. Studios are more self conscious so to speak when it comes to this.

I think it is more than that. She also felt differently in the beginning, being sexualised was more flattering when she was younger, she felt good about all the attention and being desired.

But then I think she became more accomplished and her social standing also rose with fame, she attended charity functions, high society gatherings and circles and I think by then she wanted to be treated more than just a hot piece of ass or even more than just an actress.
