    I enjoyed it, the film had heart and I cared about the characters which I totally wasn't expecting to.

    That Russian Guardians movie is worth watching, it's like somebody gave a 12 year old twenty million to make a movie. Fun to watch but has zero depth and lacks a lot of continuity. My son and I were howling.

It could also be:

    VANGUARD
    A highly classified superhuman anti-terror squad of highly trained operatives fighting against terror threats in the U.S.A.

    New S.H.I.E.L.D.
    Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine could be rebuilding a new S.H.I.E.L.D. and having White Widow & U.S. Agent as part of the away team

    CABAL:
    The Cabal is a secret group of criminal masterminds originally assembled by Loki in Acts of Vengeance. Subsequent iterations have been brought together by Red Skull, Norman Osborn during Dark Reign and Namor after Infinity.



    Mmkay... But, wouldn't it make more sense to just introduce...


    The MASTERS OF EVIL?

    A) support/recognize the TM/Copyright, B) have an Interchangeable line up, C) have the history of the group to use as fodder for future films.

    Just my 0.02 cents.

    Nothing, but if people were hoping/anticipating what a Winter Guard film might look like, this is a prime example.

    Enjoyed it quite a bit. Good action, with a good somewhat emotional story and funny dialogue. More fun than recent Marvel movies. Florence Pugh just acted herself into a more major part in the Marvel universe. David Harbour is also great. Hope to see more of him, as well.

    Once the reveal to Taskmaster it turned me sour towards the movie.
    I actually thought that was a pretty good twist. On second viewing I could see it telegraphed pretty heavily, but first go around, I didn't expect it. That was partially because rumors had me convinced Taskmaster was someone else in the cast. I'm glad that wasn't true.

    Well boyfriend & I just got back from watching Black Widow and it was good. For a movie that they are trying to sandwich in it works. The MCU is deferent from the Marvel Universe with its characters but for the most part they were all part of the comic book Black Widow's past. I did like the fact that they left it open for more Black Widow sequels while setting up the Thunderbolt or Dark Avengers.



    SO why do you think it's gonna be one or the other???? Just curious how you came up with this conclusion?

    I found the first 3/4 of the film very watchable, Florence Pugh (Yelena) kinda steals the show. I look forward to seeing more of her. David Harbour also brought some great comic relief. Things fell apart for me with the big action climax, but that's okay. Still a thumbs-up!

    My wife and I watched it via streaming last night. I thought it was very enjoyable and very likable characters.

    They did set it up so that Black Widow could return between movies. When you think about it there could be plenty of movies out there if they want to pay the big guys to come back and tell tales with these in-between movies.

    I want to see the Winter Guard go against the Avengers!!!

    Yeah, Captain Marvel is mostly about copyright.

    So, Natasha's done as Black Widow?

    My wife, daughter and myself all really enjoyed it. I thought the story was compelling, and honestly more emotionally deep than many of the Marvel films. Great action set pieces, and the humor was genuine and actually funny. For me, far superior to Captain Marvel, which in hindsight I find mostly forgettable. I'm much more interested in seeing more of this cast of characters than Captain Marvel. I'm glad they are adding in Monica Rambeau and Kamala Khan (who we haven't met yet) to her sequel.
