I wonder if Stan Lee has enough film time to qualify for SAG membership yet. And are we thinking Natasha?
I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

Missed it due to not feeling well. Will have to catch later in the week.

Connie, I like your thinking; I hadn't even considered that. But that "thighs around the neck snap" seems to be a patented move for her, so, yeah. And her "Is that an automatic? I want that." Yup, gotta be.

I was thinking she might be an early Red Room alumna, rather than Natasha specifically. But, yeah, something along those lines.

I don't know enough of the mythos of Black Widow. I've heard of the Red Room, but don't really know what it means/entails. I know she and Bucky knew each other. That's about it. I should pick up some back issue compilations on her.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
My thinking is Dottie would have to be affiliated either with Hydra or someone with access to former Hydra intelligence to know who Peggy is.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Dottie took out that guy with a move that reminded me strongly of Black Widow, so I'm thinking Red Room, possibly. That was already in operation at this time period, I think?

I wasn't thinking Dottie, I was thinking "It's just a little girl."

As I understand it, the Red Room Academy was a Soviet program devoted to training assassins from childhood. In some Marvel storylines, Bucky was also associated with the Red Room, and helped train Natasha. I think the Marvel Movie/TV universe is moving in a different direction from the last bit, though.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think "just a little girl" is too young to be Natasha - if she were 8 in the 1940s, she wouldn't be ScarJo's age in the present day.
