Black Widow

 A clever way of doing an origin story without doing an origin story, by instead doing a "dealing with unfinished business from the origin story" tale, this is entertainment in the marvel manner, meaning that the villainous plot will not make a whole lotta sense while being suitably world endangering, there will be frequent injokes for those who remember the previous films, and it will somehow still be baseline pretty enjoyable anyway. The relationship dynamics between Johannsen, Pugh, Harbour and Weitz are damn entertaining, and as a launching point for Pugh for a wider audience this is pretty damn good. There are undoubtedly quibbles to have here and there, but at this point in my viewing I'm not really up for quibbling, I'm just enjoying the ride.
