Current Events > So apparently Black Widow is supposed to make Natasha's sister a big hero

(+) Yeah! (+)

Not surprising really but.... Why? Her sister is a persistent villain in the comics, not even an antihero. There are tons and tons of major female characters that they could bring out, why not do literally any of them?

and now she will become a hero in the comics. the comics always love to follow whatever happens in the movies in a vain attempt to get people walking out of the theater who go past the mall comic shop to buy some comics.

Maybe something will happen that will make her trade sides. Heroes dont have to stay heroes.

I don't care as long as it gets Florence Pugh in more movies

Ehh in the comics she's all kinds of evil. It's just a wasted opportunity for the many existing characters. Spiderwoman, she hulk, storm, Kamala Khan, Ironheart?

Honestly I'd prefer that over some of the current stuff.

Imagine telling people Howard Stark is a satanist and is now alive on Earth hunting down his adopted (yes retcons) son Tony Stark.

How dare they take something in a different direction and try something new!

WHAT MONSTERS!

Good man.

the fact that her name in this topic is literally only "Natasha's sister" is telling

basically, who cares if they change her, no one knew who she was to begin with anyway

I don't mind changing things, but making something completely different than it was so you can do the same thing you've done before when you have several new things that deserve recognition is questionable.

Could still be good, and I'll still watch it and likely enjoy it, but it is disappointing.

To be fair, it's only that way because of title restrictions

In the comics she literally exists to be the successor to Natasha as Black Widow. Who else would be more appropriate to show up in a movie delving more into Black Widow's backstory?

It's a misdirect. She's almost certainly the villain in black.

At least half of those are joining the MCU within a year and the rest will follow shortly.

Yeah and M'baku isn't a villain called Man-Ape.

These movies have never been strict adaptations of comics.

All of those characters (except maybe Spiderwoman) are coming eventually. Some pretty soon in fact.

The why seems obvious to me-- they can use the Black Widow movie to give her a spring board into later movies with the other Avengers.

Well this makes me fucking happy

I'm honestly not even sad about spiderwoman but I know she has her fans
