#anti natasha romanoff

[vee-nyx]

to celebrate 8 years since civil war release, let’s review all the ways tony stark was an absolute loser and actually the reason thanos won in infinity war:

created an omnicidal A.I. that the rest of the team warned him against creating

decided that the entire team needed to become government puppets because he felt guilty for creating said A.I. that, once again, NO ONE SUPPORTED HIM IN MAKING

(also the reason bucky was forced back into the fight bc tony caused sokovia and thus caused zemo’s need for revenge but i digress on that pt)

when members of the team who can’t disconnect from their abilities raised concerns about how the accords dehumanized them, he had them arrested or locked them in his tower

bribed (yes, bribed) a child into fighting on his side because he knew he was outmatched

instructed vision to shoot sam out of the sky and then shot sam point-blank when he avoided the blast that would’ve left him severely injured AND LANDED TO HELP THE PERSON IT HIT

wanda on the raft. this is its own point. he let her be restrained and collared like a fucking DOG as if he hadn’t already done enough damage in her life (killing her parents & brother)

proceeded to break the accords THAT HE HELPED WRITE to chase cap across the globe because he felt left out of the action

blamed a brainwashed pow for BEING FORCED to kill the starks AGAINST HIS WILL and proceeded to BLOW HIS ARM OFF and ATTEMPT TO KILL HIM DESPITE KNOWING THAT NONE OF IT WAS HIS CHOICE

mocked natasha’s trauma because she dared to disagree with his methods (he is, in fact, incapable of letting go of his ego for one goddamn second)

even after receiving an apology, refused to contact cap for three years despite KNOWING about the threat of thanos

in conclusion,

[fleursfairies]

wait so....

steve (poor): doing his best to run a support group and help the people that were affected by the blip

natasha (poor): working hard, running avengers compound and also helping people that were affected by the blip

tony (very very rich): chilled at home with his alpacas and acres of land

cool.

Having been rewatching Avengers lately and I really hate the fact that Steve apologizing to Tony has been so constant that it actually became a pattern. He sends him a letter of apology at the end of Civil War, although he didn't actually do anything wrong, and in the beginning of IW Tony admits to Bruce that he still won't speak to Steve even after all these years. It's infuriating.

"I don't care, he killed my mom" - oh yeah? How many mothers and fathers have you killed? Did you forget that your missiles killed Wanda and Pietro's parents? You think that because you didn't do it in person you are excused? Winter Soldier at least had the courage to face his crimes. He remembered all his victims. You didn't even know yours. You never apologized to Wanda for what you did to her. You are responsible for deaths of both her parents and her brother, and what did you do? You imprisoned her in your home, traumatizing her even further by letting her think she is a monster to be feared. The first thing you did coming back from space in EG was yell at Steve for trying to give hope to his friends so they all won't go insane. You refused to help them in their hour of need. You took the shield from Steve, and he didn't even give you hard time for that. You basically ignored Natasha's sacrifice and death and made everything about you again. You, you, you, it was always about you, and Steve never said a word to you, never called you on your bullshit, although he should have.

You don't deserve Steve Rogers as your friend. You don't deserve Natasha, either. You never did.

You know what I am utterly weirded out by to this day?

The fact that MCU turned Natasha’s 616 ex husband into her FATHER FIGURE.

They could’ve used any other character or just changed the name for the love of god what the fuck was that.

If you haven’t guessed by now, I mean Alexei/Red Guardian.

“Caitlyn is a tragic character like Jinx” Why? Because she pulled a Disney Princess cliche and has a dead mommy dearest? At the very least her mom died when she was an adult and not a little girl. Unlike Jinx’s Mom. And Dad. And brothers. And (to her knowledge) Vander. Which she also carries the guilt for even tho she had no malicious intent at all and just wanted to help. And as a teenager, she had horrid hallucinations from Singed, and Silco died. And grew up in poverty instead to having fancy clothes and a safe roof under her head and filet mignon. Caitlyn is just a motherless rich girl cop who has experienced the slightest tip of the iceberg that Vi and Jinx have

I just think it's neat Flash and Nat get to hang out again.

My top 3 comic!Natasha quotes

"People who prey on children don't deserve restrain -- they deserve me!"

"Killing people is easy. Making them suffer is an art."

"[...] You don't have a story, little one. You're simply a footnote to mine."

(Not in order!)

Avengers Endgame ruined the main 6 Avengers character arcs and there’s why

It sped up Bruce’s arc, it made Clint a murderer for no reason, ending was really messy if you think about it, Tony died, Natasha died and Thor’s obvious weight gain and bad mental health wasn’t taken seriously and was instead turned into a joke and an inconvenience and as well as what the writers did Steve with that insanely out of character ending that made absolutely no sense

These characters all had more character derailment in three hours then in the rest of the MCU as a whole

It's Oct 16 aka the day that natasha romanoff sacrifices her life to save the world, so her friends/family, could see their loved ones again, and what did steve rogers do after seeing bucky again? he leaves him, making nat's sacrifice insignificant for him.

friendly reminder that endgame ruined two amazing characters: natasha and steve

“Why are you doing this?” Natasha demanded, pinning Y/n against the ground, her hands grasped around her suit collar. “Tell me why killing so many people is worth it!” Natasha doesn't understand you never harmed anyone before.

“You wouldn’t understand,” Y/n choked out, righteousness burning in her belly simmering waiting to boil

“Power? Revenge?” Natasha growled her confusion causing anger to rise every second Y/n takes to respond.

“Justice.” she spits with fury, "You don't know what they did. They deserve everything that i did."

Why the hell was this scrapped?

That was a rhetorical question; I think it’s pretty obvious this line was cut because it calls out the absolute deification of Tony that the MCU loves to indulge in. While this series was allowed to show the trauma Wanda experienced at the hands of SI weaponry, actually letting her criticize God Tony himself would definitely have been about five steps too far for this studio.

Was Natasha a kid when she met Bucky?

It’s a widespread misconception outside of winterwidow fandom that Bucky and Natasha have known each other since she was a kid. I’ve seen a handful of people object to their relationship for this reason or (sometimes in a humorous manner) comment on how weird it is. And I'd have to agree with them. Bucky dating Natasha despite having trained her since she was a child would have been utterly inappropriate, if not immoral and disgusting. However, the assumption is not only incorrect but also fundamentally impossible.

Let’s go back to the beginning to clarify why that assumption is fundamentally impossible. Different universes equal different realities, and different realities equal different characters. Sometimes characters' counterparts across multiple realities only differ in details, not the basics. MCU characters have a similar correlation with their What If counterparts but not comics’ ones, which is a grave mistake cinematic fans make. I believe that’s why we have this absurd assumption as well, from someone thinking that 616 Black Widow and Winter Soldier are the same age as their more famous counterparts.

MCU’s Natasha Romanoff was born in 1984, and Bucky – 1917. Thus, an adult-kid dynamic is plausible. If we consider cryostasis, Bucky was still pushing 30 when Natasha was born. The situation, however, is significantly different for their 616 counterparts. Let’s start with Earth 616’s Bucky Barnes, who was born in 1925, making him nearly a decade younger than the cinematic one. But that isn’t what disproves the aforementioned belief. What disproves it is that Earth 616’s Natasha Romanoff was born around 1928, making her 56 years older than her cinematic counterpart and just 3 years younger than 616 Bucky. You will find this information on the following page from Black Widow: Deadly Origin, a 2009–2010 graphic novel (which I will be using as a basis today):

This alone debunks the adult/child misconception, but I want to go one step further and discuss the timeline of Natasha's time in the Red Room and the early years of the Winter Soldier.

At the young age of 20, Bucky Barnes "died" alongside Captain America in late 1945, in last days of the war. The Russian submarine discovered Bucky's preserved body after the war while hoping to retrieve Captain America’s remains. And with that, the Winter Soldier story began, along with his role as a super soldier trainer at the Red Room for Department X.

Now, one might say, "Ana, if he was 20, Natasha was 17, which is still kind of wrong, no?". My answer is yes; it would’ve been rather inappropriate. "Would’ve been" because there’s a catch: Natasha wasn’t part of the Red Room when he joined.

I know what you’re thinking: What the fuck, wasn’t she...? Didn’t she…? So let me explain that one from the beginning.

Natasha Romanoff, then 10 years old, was brought to the Red Room in 1938 by her father figure, Ivan Petrovich (a terrible piece of shit about whom I'll write a blog), Taras Romanov, and Joseph Stalin himself. After her trainer, Wolverine, killed Taras in 1940, she let Wolverine go, fled into the woods, and was found three months later by Ivan, possibly going back under his care, which can be seen below:

She returned to the Red Room only at the age of 28, ironically enough, becauseof Ivan, which is depicted on the following page:

There, we find a collapsed building with a bleeding Ivan and a sobbing Natasha, who have been approached by …. *DRUM ROLL* ….  the Winter Soldier, who has been sent by his superiors. They were both offered the super soldier serum that would save Ivan in exchange for their newfound loyalty, which Natasha accepted despite Ivan's protests.

Here we are, then: Natasha, 28, meets the Winter Soldier, roughly 31, who’ll soon be her lover and her trainer. Two adult people who met when they were both adults. And with that, we conclude our blog, disproving the infamous “she was a kid when they met!” argument.

Thanks for reading my blog. If you have questions or have found a mistake, let me know. I'll be happy to answer and discuss <3

Venom War: Venomous Preview

I'm unironically so hyped for this series. I genuinely adore Natasha's power upgrade, and her banter with Flash, along with just her own internal monologue just has me by the throat
