Rant about Black Widow

So I saw the avengers tonight. Finally. I know, I’m mad late on this shit. but anyway

Over the last few weeks I’ve been seeing all of these posts on tumblr about how Natasha Romanoff A.K.A. Black Widow is this great female super hero and “Rely on a man to save the day? Hell no!” over a picture of Scarlett Johanson. Maybe it’s just a common feminist mentality to take something that looks hopeful and take it WAAAAY too far (no offense to any feminists that DON’T do this and are actually logical human beings - but you have feminists on your team that are a little bit entirely insane), but Black Widow DEFINITELY was not a good example of someone who doesnt need a man to save the day. In AT LEAST half the fight scenes she was in, her ass got saved by a man! And don’t get me wrong. GOD BLESS Black Widow in this movie. Beautiful, funny, sexy attitude, and can fight. TOTALLY kick ass super hero. Not to mention, she wore that tight leather suit and the camera just happened to pan on her ass half the time. She was awesome. But please, ladies…understand something. Just because you see a woman on screen doing some of the same things men do all the time (including but not limited to: beating the shit out of men), don’t immediately support it with everything you have…the fact that she needed men in half the scenes literally goes against everything you guys fight for towards equality…hmm…actually…forget I said it. Continue as you were. ;-) haha
