Ever since I did that post about Captain America’s theoretical onesie and the evolution of his costume, I’ve gotten a lot of requests to do a similar OCD breakdown analysis about Black Widow’s.
After Cap and Bucky, Widow’s easily my favourite MCU character, so I am all too happy to break it down. But just know this required me to wade through so many disgusting male comments about her costume and body that I wanted to flip my desk and set it on fire. Repeatedly. You’re welcome.
Here are the six costumes I’ll be looking at from 2010-2018.
From L to R: Iron Man 2, Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America: Civil War, and Avengers: Infinity War.
Putting the rest under a read more because shit’s gonna get long.
Ok but we know Nat is at least somewhat skilled in programming/coding/hacking, and if y2k is apparently going to ~start another world war~ what if she erases most if not all Russian intelligence to stop the Americans from getting their hands on it, effectively concealing her real birthdate forever, and ACTUALLY making the winter soldier and the program a ghost story, and so no one believes he exists because there’s no record of him?
Natasha wasn’t sure what would happen next. Where they would go, what they would do.
But she was sure of one thing: She would follow Steve to the ends of the Earth if he asked her to. She trusted him as a partner, and as a friend. No matter who opposed them, even if it was the very people they were sworn to protect, they would be at each other’s side. (x)
I read a theory that Natasha kept her hair red when she lost her Bucky so he could find her. In infinity war, when they knew where Bucky was, her hair was blonde. The pics from avengers 4 show red hair again. She’s lost her Bucky again. It’s an interesting observation. Of course, they haven’t shown any Bucky Nat in the MCU but it’s Canon in the comics.
