I'm looking forward to it. I find the Black Widow an interesting character (all "monster" nonsense notwithstanding), and I'm wondering how they'll flesh out her backstory.

Meh or not, it's worth $10 to me to buy an extra ticket and inflate opening night box office (that I won't be attending) just to help piss off the ComicsGate crybabies that will be complaining about a female character being the lead.

I have been hoping for a Black Widow movie for so long, but ScarJo has made it very difficult to root for her lately.

You might find this interesting - a behind the scenes look at the Marvel costume archive. They keep old costumes on file (so to speak) for future reference, flashbacks, etc.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
The trailer seems fairly generic but I'm psyched for Florence Pugh and Rachel Weisz. I mean, we are all assuming that Yelena will stay on to take up Natasha's mantle in whichever phase of MCU is coming next, right?
Florence Pugh is possibly the most exciting up-and-coming young actress of last couple of years. She carried Midsommar this summer, is playing Amy in the upcoming Little Women later this month, then Black Widow. Although my favourite role of hers is still her star turn as the passionate, ruthless young bride in a loveless marriage in Lady MacBeth, which is the first thing I saw her in. Gosh, was she ever amazing in that.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Of course I'm going to see Black Widow, but I'm less enthusiastic about it than I would've been a couple years ago.
Although I'm looking forward to some of the upcoming MCU offerings, overall I'm not interested in Phase Four. I was never into The Eternals and I don't even remember Shang-Chi. They don't have the hook into my comic-loving childhood that Spider-Man and Iron Man and Black Widow and Hulk did. But who knows; maybe they'll be great and change my mind.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Marvel managed to make magic with GotG, but I would agree. Phase 4 seems to have way too many characters I have no real interest in.

I'm very much looking forward to female Thor in Phase 4, and Spider-Man and Dr Strange should be interesting too.

Thrive to spite them
We watched Endgame last night on Disney+. I don't care if the battle scene with all the women was just pandering to the audience it gets to me every time.
Also I cried again when Tony died. Watching Pepper is so hard.
I loathe Thanos. I can't enjoy him as a character in any way. I have the same reaction to Fisk on Daredevil (I haven't made it throgh a full season of Daredevil because I can barely stand it when Fisk is on screen). The whole smug, evil bastards who claim they are destroying things for the greater good but really it's about their greed...reminds me too much of McConnell and others.
I am conflicted about a Black Widow movie. If it had come out before Endgame I would be seeing it but now I'm ready for the next phase.
Which I'm looking forward to because I want to know where things will go from here

Does phase four have Captain Marvel? Because I'll go to anything she's in.
