Regarding their accents, there's something in filmmaking called the Translation Convention where the characters on the screen have a different native language than the audience, so you hear them speaking the audience's language with the understanding that we agree they're really speaking their own language. The way I like to see the use of language and accent in this movie is that I assume they're all speaking Russian, but the fact that Natasha doesn't use a Russian accent means she is now speaking Russian with an American accent due to the years she's been speaking English.

The whole idea of the transition convention falls apart when you take into account the fact that this is part of a cinematic universe in which they have used subtitles for other languages. In addition, they do use actual Russian many times in this film. I really don’t think it’s a big deal though. When they were a family in America they spoke English, so it makes sense they would still speak English when they come back together. Also, it makes sense that Dreykov would want the widows to use English since it is a more internationally known language than Russian.

In the scene where Nat and Melina were planning their infiltration, Nat said she would activate her tracker so Ross can find her. In Dreykov's office Nat picked up a vial that didn't explode with the rest. The Jet is called a Quinjet, they also used it in the first Avengers as well as Age of Ultron (where Hulk used it to go into space - supposedly).

"We're both upside down" is such a great callback at the end. Yelena says it to Nat as little girls in the backyard and then again on the ground after landing with the parachute at the end.

14:30 "It has a lot of pockets." In the late 80s and through the 90s, a typical fashion accessory for Marvel's heroes were... just as many pockets as possible. Bandoliers with pockets, vests with pockets, thigh straps with pockets, everything had as many pockets as possible. Yelena, I believe, was created in that same era, and thus her first costume was likely drowning in many over stuffed pockets that never got used.

19:55 The irony about Yelena calling him the Crimson Dynamo is that there actually was a comics villain that was one of Tony Stark's villains. And it was a Russian character that often fights against Iron Man.

Marvel does everything with a plan and never just throws new content out there. This film was to set up her sister as the new Black Widow so she can be in the Hawkeye series and part of the next team of Avengers. The timing for it was perfect. Scarlet did executive produce this film and had a big role in everything during production. She said her main goal was to guide this actress into what it is to play the Widow and she wanted to help make her as cool and badass as possible. As an exec producer, she knew the film had to be more than just being about her and she embraced that. Many people that watched it said Yelena was their favorite part of the film. Goal achieved for Marvel.

“She got a dog!” - Natalie making the important observations.

When Antonia nearly died, instead of helping her, Dreykov turned her into a weapon. That fact alone makes him one of the most evil characters in the MCU

i agree in wishing that there were more drama filled moments to explore EVERYTHING that Nat has been through. i feel it also would've lent towards the audience caring a bit more for the other widows who would've likely had similar experiences to Nat in their upbringing.

I think of the three female-centric superhero movies I have seen (this one, Wonder Woman and Catwoman), this one is the best. The humor is AMAZING and I love the dynamic with the family (especially the two sisters) and how PERFECTLY it fits with Natasha'a character. Throughout her journey, family and loyalty has always been the most important thing to her. In this one, she's immersed in all 3 of her families (the Avengers, her birth mother and her adoptive family.) and we get to see how she deals with that when she doesn't have the "big ones" there to help her. I am really happy they gave her her OWN MOVIE without really using this movie to predict future story arcs. The one in this movie is already done where she rescues the Avengers.

My best friend and his wife flew to Iceland, were there for 4 days, then flew to Brussels, and did a 10 day loop through Europe on the trains for their honeymoon. It's an awesome trip, and Iceland depends on tourism to survive, so everyone there is super friendly, lol

I cannot recommend ICELAND enough for your honeymoon. The Missus and I stayed in Rejkyavik for our honeymoon. We saw the Iceland Punk Rock museum, visited Gullfoss, the Geysers, the church (Hallgrim's Kirche) that inspired the architecture on Asgard, drank at Bar Lebowski, had steak at Restaurant Chuck Norris, visited the gift shop at the Phallological Museum (yes, they have a museum dedicated to THAT - we were not mature enough to actually go INTO the museum) and closed off our honeymoon at the hot springs the morning of our flight back to Canada...you'd LOVE it. Also - WE, the audience, know that Barton didn't kill Nat, but the rest of the world does not. The characters, thankfully, are not omniscient. As far as anyone else knows, Barton and Romanov went to get the stone and only one came back and you have to "exchange a soul for a soul"...

One interesting thing in this movie is in the fight scenes Taskmaster actually does mimic moves from other characters in other movies, such as some moves from Black Panther and Spider-Man and the "Ariana" knife drop-and-catch that Winter Soldier uses. So they really did take some extra time in the fight choreography to go back and try and match characters that Taskmaster could have conceivably studied at some point.

Steve Rodgers would still be on ice at that point, which means that the captain america Alexi keeps insisting he fought all movie was actually Isaiah Bradley from Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

So taskmaster can mimic anyone he sees in comics so when she’s watching video she’s learning all the avengers moves. Also this movie has Nat more similar to her comic version that has the super soldier serum.

Honestly, when I watched this movie for the first time, I identified so much with Natasha and everyone in it. Coming from a background with Russian influences, this was perfect. Super accurate, especially Alexei's dialogue but also the entire family dynamic. This was crazy. I had to show it to my family and they also agreed that this is exactly what e.g. talking to my grandpa feels like. There's so many details in this that made me howl with laughter - the fact that Natasha drives a Lada in Norway (why would you choose to drive a car that screams Russia if you want to stay hidden when the world is looking for you and you're in the hinterland of Norway?), the way Alexei insists the fuel is going to last all the way to St.Petersburg, not letting the girls be right, his obsession with Natasha being part of the Avengers but also insisting that the Western powers are evil and cannot be trusted or the way Alexei tells the story of his father peeing on his hand (I swear, I've heard multiple variations of that story from my grandpa). Even the way Natasha and Yelena interact as sisters - it's so perfect. I loved loved loved this movie. It was amazing. I suppose that many people couldn't really pick up on the Russian cultural cues and details but to me, it meant so much to see it all like this. Even though I don't really connect with that part of our family history, I felt really touched by this movie. Also, yes, Siberia has a long history of having prisons and labor camps - not just in the MCU.

Russia does not have prisons like that in Siberia where they house the prisoners American etyle. In Siberia they have penal colonies which are more likely heavily guarded work camps where the prisoners live in wooden or brick barracks

Hello Natalie, I have worked for years as a tour guide in Norway. If you are ok with cool weather and a chance of a lot of rain, then Norway is absolutely stunning. The mountains, fjords, nature, islands, the silence ... It is magical. Generally speaking, the best time to travel, weather wise, is from late June to mid-September. The European holiday season peaks from June to mid-August, so then it can be crowded in many of the most iconic spots, including with cruise ships, though they have been gone now for a while, because of Covid. My personal favorite time of year to travel is from the end of August until mid-September. The weather is often very soft (no guarantees though, that doesn' exist in Norway). The light is beautiful as the Sun gets lower. The business of the Summer season is over. And the nights, though still relatively short, are really dark, with gorgeous stars. I believe in following your own nose in Norway. Like renting a car and driving along the coast. Stopping in small places, booking in small hotels and hostels. And wherever you are outside of the few big cities: go to the outskirts of town (often just a short walk), cross the first hill and you will find yourself in nature, all alone, and everything is quiet. Paradise. Check out the Hurtigruten, the Norwegian coastal ferry system. You can take a car on board (do book in advance, as place for cars is limited). The scenery from Hurtigruten is amazing. The islands, coastline, sea, mountains ... wow. Check a few videos by passengers of Hurtigruten on KZread to see what I mean. Lastly, think about good clothing. As Norwegians say: there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing. A good outdoors breathing, waterproof jacket is a must to have, in case the weather turns. Think Gore-Tex or something like that. Good hiking boots that can withstand the water and have good grip are also great if you go hiking. Not too heavy, not too light, with good support for the ankles, as the trails are often very basic, rocky, with inclines etcetera. For hikes, I swear with Lowa Renegade GTX, to give you an idea of what may be great (though always check whether a certain brand fits your foot). Sneakers work great in the towns and cities of course. Some typical hotspots: the Western Norwegian fjord area, roughly between Bergen and Kristiansund (my personal favorite fjord area is the Nord Fjord area, with Olden and other places around. There, you can also easily hike to some nearby glaciers. Do check out a stave church ifone is nearby. My favorite is the Kvernes Stave Church. And explore some of the quiet islands, for instance the bird island Runde. Further north there is also endless nature, the Lofoten are incredible. And I have a soft spot for the far North, the Finnmark. Wild and endless, all the way up to the North Cape and East to the border with Russia. Norway is not a country for cities. That said, there are a few gorgeous places.My personal favorite is Trondheim, cozy, beautiful and well worth a visit (do explore the cute Baklandet area if you happen to go there). Oslo has some amazing museums and see if you can take a walk along the Akerselva (then just follow your curiosity) or visit one of the amazing little islands in the Fjord, like Hovedoya, easy to reach with the local ferry. Last but not least, take your time when you are there. See where you like it, and stop. Norway is no place for a tight itinerary, it is a place for following your nose and curiosity, and for taking your time, wherever you are :-) If you go there: velkommen til Norge!

You're a brilliantly thoughtful person Nat, always enjoy your reactions.

I'd definitely recommend watching Agents of SHIELD if I were you. It's a really good show. It doesn't really start to get good until about episode 13 of Season 1 and it is relentless from that point on. It's done that way by design though. The episodes before episode 13 help build the world around sort of like what The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger did for the movies. It follows the movies to a point and we get to see some familiar faces as well which is cool.

I love Alexi when he said “i wanted The Party to be like actual party” ha ha reminds me of the horse in Animal Farm.

With the vials at the end, as she was leaving Nat grabs two off the ground, one used to free taskmaster, the other to work up more antidote. And at the beginning she turns her tracker off, when they explained the plan she said she would turn her tracker back on which would bring Ross in to take care of the Red Room.

a road trip through Norway would be the perfect honeymoon

Have to rec "Fighting With My Family" for another funny Florence Pugh movie.

Dreykov's daughter was played by Olga Kureyeko a former Bond Girl from Quantum of Solace, and she is in this movie with Daniel Craig's wife, Rachel Weisz. Stunning.

I've noticed over time that you and I feel EXACTLY the same way about Scarlett as an actor. She is incredible. You put it perfectly - she elevates everything she's in. And when you said she makes you weep - every time I see her in the beginning of Endgame, I'm already crying. She is hanging on by a thread and it's painted all over her face. Her ability to emote and be in the moment is phenomenal. I get the same thing from Elizabeth Olsen. Scarlett, Elizabeth, and Florence are probably my three favorite female actors.

Great reaction, Nat. I'm glad that you got to this one, which took me by surprise on how good this movie was. Best part for me? The cover of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" during the intro piece. Purely epic. BTW, Shang-Chi will arrive on Disney+ on November 12, so you have time on that one. Your next Marvel mission is "What If?", which will blow you away.

17:14 If the helicopter flying through that troubles you, you're gonna love the entire final sequence of the movie 😬

Ever Anderson (the girl that plays young Natasha) is Milla Jovovich's daughter, she's also trilingual. She played the young version of her mother in one of the Resident Evil movies

She always cuts the best lines, like when Yelena describes the black widow sterilization process

The actress playing the young Natasha is the daughter of Mila Jovovich,The vest that Elena gave to Natasha she also wears in the Infinity War, when Natasha says to Drake "Thank you for your cooperation" she said the same to Loki in the Avengers, according to the canon of comics Bucky Barnes (Winter Soldier) had an affair and not a long affair with Natasha, he also trained her, but for some reason it was removed in the film, but they left a reference in the form of Bucky's fighting style which copies the Taskmaster watching footage from the airport.

This movie isn't perfect and Disney tried to screw over ScarJo but it has its moments. Florence as Yelena was fantastic and fans want to see more of her which I am down for. The intro to this movie was super dark and intense, yet there was more comedy than expected as you mentioned and I think it is a little off-putting. And yeah, some of the action was a bit much. Great video Nat! Keep it up 😊

In case nobody has said yet, Taskmaster can mimic anything he sees. Ergo, he studied every Avenger and learned how to be excellent at a bow, shield, sword, hand-to-hand, etc. He cooked a gourmet meal for a date once after watching a chef on tv!

For this movie, I use the joke from THE BOYS: "GIRLS GET IT DONE!"

This movie was going to be Julia Louis-Dreyfus' character's first appearance in the MCU with her showing up a second time in Falcon & Winter Soldier. Then Black Widow got postponed due to COVID and Falcon was going to air first, so they filmed some extra scenes with her for Falcon and cut some shots and dialogue of her appearance in this movie to address the change.

I really didn't like how they introduced Taskmaster. He's an entirely different character in the comics, with his own backstory. He's a mercenary for hire and had established several institutes to train criminals, so it would have made more sense in this movie if Dreykov had been Taskmaster. Comic book Taskmaster even has a daughter named Finesse who has the same ability to learn from observing. Olga Kurylenko should have had an actual role with more lines and showing her face. Considering the costume, they could have had her do all her work in two days of filming and just put a stunt double in for the rest of it. Considering how good an actor she is, it was an absolute waste to use her in a role like this one.

16:57 One of the two super-max prisons is Vologodskiy Pyatak is located not exactly in Siberia, but it is 300 miles North of Moscow and built on an island in the middle of a lake with only one bridge connecting it to the mainland. It is in what used to be a monastery, and is known for its extreme isolation from pretty much anywhere else. It is also just on the edge of the arctic circle, so it remains unpleasantly cool in the summer, and downright frigid in winter. The prison houses only about 200 prisoners, but they are the worst of the worst... we're talking cannibals, murderers, those with a history of escape attempts and violent crime, et al. If someone were to get out and get over the walls, through the three seperate fences, and to the lake, it is so cold year round that they would probably succumb to hypothermia before being able to swim to shore. Each cell is double secured, with a hardened steel cage inside of 1 foot thick reinforced concrete walls, with two doors with seperate keys that need to be opened to even get out of the cell. There's a few documentaries of the place, and while it is bleak, most of the inmates actually seem to realize why they are there and just accept the fact. The other super-max for Russia is a prison on the border with Kazakhstan, which is Penal Colony Number 6, or unofficially, Black Dolphin, which is quite famous for being a place you really, really, REALLY do not want to end up in. Let's just say that Pyatak is a summer vacation resort compared to Black Dolphin.
