Natasha and Clint going to Vormir to get the Soul Stone is just a terrible writing choice, because Marvel spent basically no time at all developing their relationship other than in the first Avengers movie and small moments in Age of Ultron and Civil War.
Also, Red Skull being guardian of the Soul Stone is kind of meaningless other than as a âHey, remember this character?â moment because thereâs not any damn history between him and Thanos, Natasha, or Clint.
You know who did have a developed relationship? Steve and Bucky. You know who did have history with Red Skull. Steve and Bucky. You know who would have been a better narrative choice to go after the Soul Stone? You get where Iâm going here, but Steve and Bucky.
Can you fucking imagine Steve and Bucky not trusting Red Skull, thinking itâs some sort of sick joke, but then coming to realize one of them has to be sacrificed. Can you imagine that fight as they try to be the one to sacrifice for the other? Bucky has his hand locked around Steveâs arm to try and keep him from falling, Steve looks him in the eyes, and says- âI told you, Iâd always be with you until the end of the lineâ and slips free to fall? It would have been a heartbreaking moment that actually did some justice to them.
Meanwhile, in fucking New York, when youâre trying to steal something from under the eyes of superheroes and SHIELD and the world in general, you have actual spies trying to steal it and being able to use some fucking stealth. And seeing Natasha fight herself, past-Natasha wary as hell, present-Natasha trying to talk some sense into her, that would be awesome.
And then, fighting Thanos at the end⌠Well, if Steve isnât there to pick up the hammer.
Let Natasha do it. Give her the answer to the question she didnât want to ask.
And leave Natasha, the one who has been running the Avengers facilities and teams since the Snap, as the one to rebuild. As the two most prominent faces of the Avengers have fallen, let the one who likes to work in the shadows be the one to pick up the pieces. Sheâs got ties to the survivors- sheâs worked with Sam, with Wanda, with Clint, with everyone. It would make sense for her to be the one helping rebuild things.
And then they could actually give her a solo movie in a way that makes sense- when her character is still alive.
