I wasn't thinking Dottie, I was thinking "It's just a little girl."
Joyce: You don't think it's too obvious? I think I look like I have a cat on my head. Buffy: But a very well groomed cat. Joyce: Well that's a comfort.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
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.

That's what the Red Room *wants* you to think.

Or maybe she just looks really good for someone in their 80s!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I can't figure out how Bucky could have trained Natasha. How is he still (a) alive and (b) young? Cryosleep in between missions, okay, but then he couldn't have done anything else.

Didn't Bucky get hit with a version of the super soldier serum?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Cryosleep in between missions, okay, but then he couldn't have done anything else.
This is the original version of Bucky-as-Winter-Soldier, as conceived by Brubaker. Cryosleep, wake up and kill, cryosleep, wake up and kill...that was all he did. Not sure when the training stuff would have fit in.
I'd agree that Dottie could be from the Red Room, but I don't think she's Natasha. I do wonder whether she's good or bad or in between, though. I liked that they set that guy up to be a new scary villain and then immediately offed him as a way to show how badass Dottie actually is.

When that third newspaper came down I was convinced it was going to be one of the SSR guys. I squealed when I saw it was Stan the Man.
