Cool, I didn't know her backstory. I actually like her character a lot more now that I know she's a super hero in the same league as Captain America. I just had her tech-expert + spy + tits + female-empowerment role that's necessary in an Avengers and Captain America movie.

Anthony Stark was one of the names on the targeting computer. He was right fucking there in DC! Suit up, bro.
Oh, never mind, the Falcon will just rip off all of your action scenes.
Fuck this movie was fun. Huge ugprade over the first movie with its terrible green screen and GI Joe villains.

That backstory is stupid and dates back about 10 years. She spent a very long time being just a badass spy who hung with super heroes.

I wouldn't call it stupid as its an excuse for her to have not aged.
Being a cold war spy from the 50-90s is core to her character. shes not like Iron man, where you can just move which war he got injured in. there is no analog to the Cold war. So shes like Magneto or Cap, where her base origin HAS to stay the end of WW2, as a Soviet spy.
But then, as time moves on, you need an excuse why shes not 90 years old, just like caps "frozen in ice" was retconned. Or magneto's own, if insanely convoluted excuses.

yea remember black widow was pretty much just your avg "ethnic" villian of the month for iron man to fight, ironman fought all the non americans
mandarin (vietnam war)
crimson dynamo/black widow (cold war)
pretty sure they rewrote him to fight some gulf war guys during the bush years
current MCU movies have him taken hostage by arabs
but then, having watched "the americans" fx show, the felicity chick is a way better kgb spy.

Not really, Marvel always just glosses over time disparity which in my mind is much better than the way DC does it with reboots and retcons every crisis every 10 years.

I just listened to Kevin Smith's one podcast, Fat Man on Batman. He did a special edition one called Fat Man on Capt Man with Marvel's Joe Quesada talking all about the Marvel Universe and more importantly, this movie. It was a pretty good listen. Gives you an idea of some of the future goals of Marvel in these movies.
Check it out. Please note that it isn't worth listening to the podcast unless you've seen the movie. It will spoil pretty much everything for you.

I listened to this a couple of weeks ago. Then I scrolled down to the comments to see what his listeners thought. Man, what a bunch of fuckers. They were pissed that he was talking about a Marvel character. Apparently "Fatman on Batman" is supposed to only cover DC books?
It was a good interview. Kevin Smith sounded stoned as fuck.
