A disservice to Romanov

Rating: 1/10 (26 April 2019)

When looking past previous Avengers movies and solo films respectively that included Black Widow, you wonder if she ever was part of the team, an Avenger. A woman whose past was never taken serious, her narrative taken away from her by the egocentric male heroes who treated her like their secretary rather than a teammate. Romanov did NOT deserve such a crude and dismissive ending. I will say the same thing for the rest of the female characters that were alive and could've gotten more spotlight than the "boys" fighting about their little toys and reminiscing about past times. I saw no true Avengers in Endgame; it was dull, slow, and it felt like a movie re-run of past events. Hulk was irrelevant, no rage, no epic fight against Thanos; Thor was more of a broken human than a superior alien who possessed far more experience in battle, far more powerful, yet he was just a lamentable junkie missing his mommy; that's not how a king rules. "Sore-Eye" was such a butt-hole to look at, a criminal by choice; murdering people that had nothing to do with his family's demise, but the Russo's felt like he deserved the redemption just to keep the plot going, frankly, this character was quite insufferable and useless, and in my opinion: he should've had die instead of Natasha. Captain Marvel's introduction was hostile and dense; the woman looked like she had no idea what was going on and not appropriately welcomed by her new teammates, so it felt like a high school newbie who just entered the classroom being introduced to bullies, and I think this character could've worked better being introduced after Endgame. The chemistry between the characters that Infinity War provided was lost in Endgame with its useless plots and predictable outcomes. Thank the force this is over.
