Vision's Awakening Outfit

Wanda Maximoff — Avengers: Age of Ultron 🖤

Wanda's fifth look in AoU. This is basically just her iconic Battle of Sokovia outfit but with a wrap around her waist instead of Nat's jacket. That said, I love that we get to see more of her dress here! I actually quite like it without the jacket. The embroidery on the lapels is more noticeable and it's such a pretty detail.

Mind Control Outfit

Wanda Maximoff — Avengers: Age of Ultron 🖤

Wanda's third look in AoU. About the same as her Ultron rendezvous outfit, but she ditched her shawl, stockings, waist-tied sweater, and put her hair up. This is one of my favorite outfits from the whole movie. She just looks so, so good and I love that we get a new hairstyle.

Preface — My favorite Spy (2)

Warnings: This text addresses sensitive topics of fertility and miscarriage.

November, 2024.

Part 1. Part 2.

In AoU, it's implied that Natasha underwent forced sterilization as part of a "graduation ceremony" in the Red Room — the KGB's covert academy for Black Widow operatives. This was later confirmed in Black Widow (2021), when both Natasha and Yelena reveal they lack a uterus and ovaries after their "fake" father makes a crude joke about PMS.

But what exactly could such a sterilization procedure entail?

Prior to the Black Widow solo film, this topic prompted significant speculation. So, here's an overview of possible surgical approaches to female sterilization, focusing on the main reproductive organs — and in very simplified terms:

1. Fallopian tubes: Common methods of permanent contraception include tubal ligation (cutting or blocking the tubes) or salpingectomy (removing the tubes entirely). Tubal ligation can sometimes be surgically reversed (allowing for natural pregnancy), but if not, IVF (in vitro fertilization) offers another possibility.

2. Uterus: Damage to the uterus (also called the womb) could impact the ability to sustain a pregnancy. A hysterectomy (uterus removal) would definitively prevent it. However, if at least one ovary remained intact, surrogacy could still allow for a biological child.

3. Ovaries: A bilateral oophorectomy (removal of both ovaries) would halt egg production, permanently preventing biological children and resulting in irreversible sterilization. However, this procedure would also induce surgical menopause due to the loss of ovarian hormones, regardless of the woman's age. Even with hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which she'd need for life, she would likely face age-related health risks, including weakened muscles, bone loss, and cardiovascular issues. My own childhood friend went through this at 19 — she simply aged faster than any of us.

Since the Red Room's goal was to create highly effective spies, full sterilization would seem counterproductive. While it may have been deemed necessary to prevent personal attachments, this approach would likely compromise long-term physical performance.

In short, the MCU's narrative of sterilization overlooked crucial aspects of female physiology and health, leading to a depiction that felt both unrealistic and reductive. While this is a fictional universe, the approach remained fundamentally flawed.

Consider, for instance, a similar storyline for a male character: castration would lead to a sharp drop in testosterone, resulting in muscle loss and bone fragility — effects that would clearly clash with superhero standards of peak physical performance. Though the experience would differ from female menopause, it would still profoundly affect both his body and mind. Yet male characters are rarely reduced to their potential for fatherhood, right?

P.S.: I will post the full text here in parts, but you can read it all in the first part of the story posted on Fanfiction, Ao3 or Wattpad: 🤗😘
