i just rewatched the interrogation scene between natasha and the Russians TM in Avengers 1 and my Russian is a lot better than the last time i saw this because i'm 80% sure when natasha says "вы правда думаешь, что я красивая?" (you really think i'm pretty?) she's using вы, not ты, which is hilarious to me. girl, if i was being tortured, i don't think i'd be polite about it.

#either that or scarlet johanson #who very very very much struggles with russian mispronounced ты and like these things happen but #it made me laugh #context if you don't speak russian #in a nutshell “ты” is the informal you and “вы” is a formal you #you use вы to show respect and with strangers/people you don't know well #but again if me i would absolutely be as informal as possible just to piss them off #also disclaimer not a native russian speaker i am learning if i got this wrong please be nice :D #a1 #natasha #idk #if you were being tortured in russian #who you use вы?? because that just seems so bizarre to me
