How great is our makeshift family of Natasha, Yelena, Alexei and Melina played by Scarlett Johansson, Florence Pugh, David Harbour and Rachel Weisz? What do we think about how Marvel handled Natasha’s dark backstory and the Red Room, not to mention the opening credits depicting essentially an abduction trade of young girls? Thoughts on the changes from the comics with Taskmaster and the Red Room? How stellar is Ray Winstone as the villain, even when his accent's a bit off? What do we think of the red dust solution? And with F9 having just opened, what’s with all these storylines right now that are all about family?It’s a fun film that enriches the MCU, despite delays from COVID and feeling overdue.
