For the FIRST EVER! edition of Fourteen Favourite Shots I decided to do Avengers Endgame.
…which is in many ways a very ugly movie. I’M SORRY! But when I was screencapping it it felt like, so many scenes have this weird grey filter over them? Why?
However since I’m enhancing all the colours I suppose that doesn’t matter much.I still found it much harder than I expected to get a whole 14 shots I really loved though.
But! I do really love how the scenes on Vormir are lit. And that shot of Gamora on the top right is possibly my favourite shot of her ever – this tiny figure facing down the whole world.
I also totally love how there are two shots in here of a man staring at the woman he loves from the wrong side of a timeline.
Hey remember how I posted a bunch of good Star Wars cosplays for May 4? Well, I’m gonna stick with that idea! Here’s a bunch of equally good MCU cosplays I found on Reddit.
The news Marvel fans didn’t want to hear has arrived. Black Widow will not be released on May 1st. Variety confirmed the news today. There is no new release date set for the first film in Phase 4. This follows the major theater chains in the United States shutting down over the last 24 hours,…
Looks good. Man it’s weird to think MCU fandom asked for this for years and years and years and it only happened after she was canonically dead.
This being the MCU I suspect it will have some heartwrenching twist, so my money is on one of Natasha’s other family members being the person under the Taskmaster mask.
To celebrate the occasion, here’s some of my favourite ladies from fiction!

Trailers for Black Widow and the new Disney+ Marvel shows were highlights of the trailers at this year’s Super Bowl.
At some point we all have to choose, notes Scarlet Johannsen’s Natasha in the Black Widow trailer.
And there’s the first proper glimpse of the Falcon and Bucky in action, a new take on the Scarlet Witch and Vision – and a vengeful Loki in the Disney+ trailer
I like it all, David Harbour’s character looks great, but oh man, I also kinda feel like this would have more impact if we didn’t know already she was dead and will never truly get a happy ending.
(also, for a while I wondered if the framing device for this movie would be Natasha flashing back to her past as she falls into the Soul Pit, but I guess not.)
The teaser poster has also been released and I like it so much more than that leaked one that went around a few months ago.
So you probably know that I had a couple of issues with Endgame, especially what happened to Gamora, and this is my attempt to fix them. (Pay attention, James Gunn.)
Title: A Scar on the World Fandom: MCU/Guardians of the Galaxy Characters: Gamora, Natasha Summary: Gamora is trying to come to terms with being alone and displaced in time. Luckily, the universe isn’t done with either her or Natasha Romanoff.
Usually, I only share trailers but I simply had to share the first official movie poster for the MCU’s Black Widow, which will be coming out in May of 2020.
Seriously, this is so kickass!
Now, before you read any further, I guess I should say that I’m about share a spoiler from Avengers: Endgame. I think everyone in the world has seen that movie by now and, if you haven’t, you probably don’t care about the MCU or any of that other stuff. But still, just in case, consider this to be your SPOILER WARNING:
I really liked Avengers: Endgame but I do have to admit that it really pissed me off that they killed off Natasha. Storywise, there was no reason to kill off Natasha. If anyone in that scene needed to redeem themselves by sacrificing their life for the greater good, it was Clint! After…
