Covid had a big impact on many things but, as silly as it may sound in the retrospect of things, it had a big impact on the entertainment industry as well. Marvel's Black Widow was the first of its kind. The first original avenger to have their back story told after the release of "The Avengers", and the first Marvel film to be released on Disney + and in theaters at the same time.
With a release date that was pushed back three times, this story is one that many have been waiting for since seeing Natasha Romanoff cross the screen in Iron Man 2.
Everyone knows her fate in Endgame and what she had to sacrifice to save mankind. Many of Marvel's diehard fan's still think the choice was one of the biggest mistakes. Other's way on the side of understanding.
Let us not forget that at her introduction, she was said not to have a family.
The evolution of Natasha, from one of the most notorious spies to an Avenger, really was one for the books. One that could have been considered a best seller, had it been released before views knew of her demise.
That single piece of her story, that a spy can have no family, is a lie.
It had been a lie for a very long time.
In the shadows, she had a sister.
She always had her sister.
Now the timing can be considered as not one of the best choices but Marvel Studios did Black Widow JUSTICE and now, so will her sister Yelena Belova.
