    Taskmaster’s power in the comics is the ability to see someone’s fighting style (which is why (s)he was watching old footage of the Avengers fighting) and perfectly mimic it. That is the reason you recognized Captain America’s fighting style on the bridge earlier in the movie. Taskmaster here is seen mimicking a bunch of different Avengers’ fighting styles. Remember the explosive arrow shot underneath their SUV?

    I wondered about the Moonraker scene inclusion in this movie. Perhaps it's a bit of a stretch, but that movie has a killer/assassin(Jaws) working for the villain, who in the end realizes he's being taken advantage of, finds romance, switches sides, and teams up with good guy Bond. Is it meant as something of a parallel with Natasha's life, or am I reading too much into it?

    Personally, I was really impressed by Alexi's growth in this movie. Think about it. At the beginning, he was fully immersed in the mission. After the jailbreak, he was self-absorbed and an ass. After reuniting with Melina, he tries (badly) to go into Dad mode, botching his dadologues and missing opportunities to heal. But finally, at the end, he becomes self-aware enough to realize that sometimes keeping your big mouth shut is the move.

    A little info on Dreykov's assassin. Character's name in the comics is Taskmaster, is a male character in the comics & has the ability to mimic or duplicate any move or skill that his opponent possesses. This ability is limited, however, in that he can't duplicate powers or abilities that fall outside the norm. For example, he can't lift Thor's hammer or call down lightning, nor can he 'Hulk-out' or crawl up & down walls like Spiderman. He can match Captain America's fighting style, but not his strength. He can also match Hawkeye's archery skills, and there's another Marvel character named Swordsman whose skill with a sword he can also duplicate. Magical abilities are outside of his range, as well as any supernatural or mutant abilities, which means that he might be able to match Wolverine's fighting style, but not his quick-healing ability or those fantastic adamantium claws.

    Jax, your reaction to this movie was so much fun! There is indeed a lot going on in the post-credits scene, so of course you had to cope with a lot of emotions watching it. It's simply heartbreaking to witness the finality of Natasha's gravestone, but so touching as well to see all the love for her. A bit of background on Taskmaster: The character was quite different in the comics. There, Taskmaster was a man, and naturally possessed an ability to perfectly copy the physical and combat abilities of anyone he saw, whether in person or through video footage. He couldn't copy superhuman powers or strength, but any fighting techniques he could make his own. Here, Antonia has that ability -- when she's introduced, we can see her watching numerous video screens with footage of the Avengers fighting, and throughout the movie she employs the fighting style of Black Widow, Captain America, the Black Panther and even Spider-Man. I'm not sure whether the copying power is hers inherently, or whether Dreykov enhanced her artificially. And yes, in the source material, the Red Guardian was meant as a Soviet counterpart to Captain America, and they met and fought on occasion. The relationship between Alexei, Natasha and Yelena is very different there, however.

    I’m sure others will point this out, but when Loki was tormenting Natasha about the terrible things she’d done, the one that affected her most was ‘Drakov’s daughter’. That’s why the redemption is so meaningful. Also, Loki said “your ledger must be dripping red” as an insult. Then her ‘father’ uses it as a compliment.

    Alexi Shostakov AKA the first Red Guardian is Natasha's formerly thought dead husband, now ex-husband in the comics. The guy that got his wrist broken has the same name as Ursa Major. Another member of Winter Guard along with all the Red Guardians. It's a mantel that gets passed often because they don't have super powers. Winter Guard is Russia's version of the Avengers.

    18:06 They are in Budapest. He probably doesn't even speak English. Why would he understand what they are talking about? 25:53 In the comics he and Melina are different. Alexi is the first Red Guardian, a villain turned hero and is actually Natasha's HUSBAND and not her father like the movies, when both were agents for the Soviet Union. Melina was known as the Iron Maiden and had a strong hate for Natasha and hated living in her shadow. -Taskmaster was a guy in the comics and not a Soviet. -In the comics, Natasha changes her name from Natalia Romanova to Natasha Romanoff, the Western equivalent when she defects to S.H.E.I.L.D.

    Great reaction like always, this movie beautifully honors the iconic Natasha Romanoff, who finally receives the respectful, worthy solo film that her unforgettable legacy always deserved. Scarlett Johansson shines one last time. There are some fun-facts about it, the film was almost made before the MCU even existed, in 2004, David Hayter struck a deal with Lionsgate to write and direct a film featuring Black Widow. In 2006, Lionsgate dropped the project, and while Hayter and Marvel tried, they couldn’t find another studio to finance the film. Hayter moved on, though he said he was “heartbroken” about it. Johansson picked the director, eventually, Marvel whittled those directors down to three names: Amma Asante, Maggie Betts, and Cate Shortland. Johansson was a fan of Shortland’s film Lore and was the one who reached out to her about directing the film. That sway likely helped, as Shortland did end up getting the directorial job. Johansson, an executive producer on the film, and Feige decided the best time to set Black Widow would be after the events of Captain America: Civil War. Given the character’s death in Avengers: Endgame, a contemporary film was impossible. Early on, there was going to be a scene between Tony Stark and Natasha in the film, but it was nixed. Shortland and Feige decided they didn’t want any other Marvel heroes in the film, so Natasha could be the sole focus and carry the onus of her story. One character was changed from the comics. In the comics, Taskmaster is a mercenary named Tony Masters. He’s also a dude. In Black Widow, Taskmaster is turned into Antonia Dreykov to tie the character into the film's story. Interestingly, Olga Kurylenko’s turn as Taskmaster was completely missing from any promotional material for the movie. In the post-credits scene, Julia Louis-Dreyfus appears as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. This was supposed to be the introduction of the character. However, COVID-19 changed those plans. Things got moved around, and Val first appeared in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier instead. The post-credits scene was added at the behest of Hawkeye showrunner Jonathan Igla. Disney was doing Premier Access during the pandemic, but the first time they announced revenue was for Black Widow. The company said Black Widow made $67 million in Disney+ first-weekend rentals. That is solid, especially considering that, according to reports, Black Widow was the most-pirated film of the pandemic. Johansson sued Disney over the simultaneous release, calling it a breach of contract that kept her from potential box-office bonuses. What followed was a couple of months teeming with bad-faith arguments and general unpleasantness because lawsuits bring out the worst in a lot of people, especially at such a high corporate level where billionaires and millionaires are fighting through high-salaried lawyers. After a few months, Disney and Johansson came to an undisclosed settlement. Keep up the good work.

    FWIW--in the comics, Natasha is "enhanced" with a form of the 'Infinity Formula' which slows her aging and gives her better strength, speed, reflexes, and durability. Because this film never had to worry about her dying, it's one kind of weakness is that the stunts are outrageously over the top. I didn't mind them, but a lot of people picked at how unrealistic it would be for Natasha to survive 3/4 of this film lol. So in my mind, the Red Room enhanced the Widows but not to the point of being Super Soldiers, which is a pretty easy way to close that kinda-sorta plot hole.

Hope you enjoyed watching this one.

    How long someone can fight depends on what style of fighting, training and conditioning. For example, the battle of Towton in 1461 lasted for 10 hours, with light clothing and using swords (think musketeers. The Battle at Cannae, on the other hand, lasted two days and soldiers were equipped with bronze helms, heavy thrusting spears, long javelins, and body armor (usually a heavy leather). As for the movie, many were hoping that when the movie was announced, that it would be an origin story for Natasha. Like you, many fans of Natasha were hoping to see what made Natasha the top tier Widow that she has become. Antonia is played by Olga Kurylenko, who is a fantastic actor! She has a lot of pretty good movies and TV shows, including one with fellow Marvel actor Charlie Cox (Daredevil). Check out her movie Momentum! You and Lambie did a great job with this movie, although, do we need to worry that you outed a super secret assassin on YT?

    41:45 "How long can a person engage in physical combat before they are too exhausted to fight anymore?" Professional boxers fight up to 12 3-minute rounds and used to fight up to 15 rounds. So 45 minutes at least. But, they got a 1 minute rest between every round so that helps. MMA fighters fight 5 minute rounds without resting and can fight up to 5 of those rounds with only 4 1-minute rests between rounds. So, maybe, sustained unbroken fighting without resting can be done as a sport for about 5 minutes, but nobody falls over from exhaustion so presumably they could go longer than 5 minutes without needing a rest. No worries; Natasha's fight lasted less than 5 minutes. Long ago, boxing matches didn't have a "final round" - they just kept going until somebody couldn't go on anymore. Andy Bowen and Jack Burke on April 6, 1893 in New Orleans, Louisiana hold the record for the longest fight. The fight lasted 110 rounds over seven hours and 19 minutes, from 9:15 PM to 4:34 AM.

    Haven’t finished the reaction yet so not sure if you figured it out on your own but there’s no super soldiers involved in this movie (outside of Alexei). You kept saying they’re merging super soldiers/winter soldiers with black widows. Everyone involved are just widows. Task Master was also trained/groomed as a black widow but with the addition of having her constantly study, train in, and mimick the fighting styles of various marvel heroes and villains (after re-engineering her brain). Pretty sure they even upload files on whoever her next target is into her brain/programming. Either way, outside of all that, she’s not a super soldier just mind controlled/re-programmed like the other widows.

And also, SHIELD never found out about that pheromone lock? I assume Shield would have some pretty good deep tissue/skeletal scanners for medical reasons, yet they never found that nerve anomaly?

    Here are interesting details about the Black widow movie. The MCU is different from Marvel comic books. For example Red guardian in the comic books dated Natasha instead of him being a father figure like in the MCU. Instead of Antonia as taskmaster who is enhanced with her armor and the algorithm similar to Iron Man Friday AI who can analyze fight patterns. Taskmaster was a male who had the ability to mimic fighting abilities of anyone he witnessed. This movie showed why Natasha sacrifice herself while also setting up the next Black widow Yelena belova. As for the other black widows they are still around in fact one is in shang-chi and the legend of the ten rings fighting in extremis soldier from Iron Man 3. Mamma Melina goes by the name Iron maiden who is a villain in the coming months and I believe a secret villain of this movie. I think melina killed Natasha's real mother also she said she's been through the Black widow program multiple times. The widow program goes back to the 30s with different names throughout the years like Leviathan so her saying she's been through the program multiple times mean she's also been through it before Dreylov was place the head of the widow program so she would have seniority or at least some influence over Dreylov.

Emily Blunt was first considered to play the role of Black Widow, in Iron Man 2. At one time actress Saoirse Ronan, was going to play Yelena Bulova character in BW. In Marvel Comics, Taskmaster is a male character who's a mercenary named Tony Masters. Marvel's Spin-off movie, Thunderbolts scheduled for 5/5/2025 release, reprising the roles of Yelena, (Florence Pugh) Alexei/Red Gaurdian, (David Harbour) Taskmaster/Antonia, (Olga Kurylenko) Melina Vostokoff, (Rachel Weisz).
