Natasha’s sacrifice in Vormir was for Yelena.

I have no idea if anyone has talked about it here, but hear me out…

Natasha was devastated, we saw it in Endgame and we have no doubts about it. But I always felt it was about something much bigger and deeper than what was being shown.

Natasha was relentlessly in her search for a solution, she was the only one who couldn’t move on (and didn’t even want to!!). Which even our great Captain Steve Rogers had come to terms with, he was doing his things - adapting as he could to the “new normal”… “We’ll find a way to bring everyone back”, he would say, but HOW? While Steve only propagated this hopeful speech, Natasha not only kept her hopes up but also looked for something tangible to work on. Natasha worried about the “how”. Yes, Cap! let’s bring them back… And what do we do now?

Natasha Romanoff was the most involved in not giving up on finding a way.

I’m sorry, but I really feel like it was about something much bigger for Natasha. It’s clear, especially now after Black Widow (2021), that Natasha was the one who loved the most among the entire team, but Steve wasn’t that far behind when it came to what happened to the rest of the world with Thanos’s snap. Not even Thor, who went into a huge depression over what happened.

Now, with Black Widow (2021), we know someone else carried a large part of Natasha’s heart with them. Yelena and Natasha’s relationship was the most sentimental and emotionally charged thing I’ve seen in MCU. The post-credits scene shows this to us in the most painful way possible.

Thus, nothing makes me think otherwise than Yelena was blipped and all that was going through Nat’s head in Vormir was to bring her sister back to life at all costs. I feel that this was the puzzle piece that was missing to understand Natasha’s feelings in Endgame. She was devastated. Because of her team? Yes. Because of the rest of the world? Yes. But mostly because of her sister.

I mean, they’re great poses, but it does look like you think everyone’s looking at you, like, all the time.
