Congratulations, you have an argument against a Black Widow movie. Now let me tell you why that argument doesn’t really work.

Okay, but she wasn’t really well known to the general public before the movies, so it’s probably best to keep her in a supporting role. It’s just too risky otherwise. 

*points to Guardians of the Galaxy*

*also points to Antman, which absolutely no one was clamoring for*

Okay, but she’s too well known now. She’s been in several movies and is very important in the team movies. That’s enough, isn’t it? Give other characters a chance.

*points to three Iron Man movies, soon-to-be three Captain America movies, soon-to-be three Thor movies, and two unsuccessful Hulk movies*

*also points to the fact that in one of those movies an important, character developing scene for her got cut because it “slowed things down” and that will always be considered an acceptable loss until there’s a movie about her and her development specifically*

Okay, but now you’re getting a Captain Marvel movie and a Wonder Woman movie.

*points to twenty million superhero movies starring dudes*

*also points out that lady characters are not interchangeable and that a Black Widow movie would not be the same kind of movie as a Captain Marvel one*

Okay, but she doesn’t have any powers, and that’s not very interesting for a superhero movie.

*points to Batman and his gazillion movies*

*also points to James Bond, Bourne movies, and other popular spy thriller franchises*

Okay, but they follow a strict timeline, so it wouldn’t make sense to do another origin movie for an established character.

*points to her current successful comic run that has nothing to do with her origins but still somehow manages to find interesting stories to tell about her, like, how do they even do it*

reclusiveq and I were talking about Bucky wielding Mjolinor and so I wrote this:

Bucky wasn’t even supposed to be here. This wasn’t his fight. He was still watching Steve from a distance. But it wasn’t going well. And as Steve was thrown backwards Bucky picked up the shield and charged at the enemy. Thor landed on his back, letting go of his hammer. Bucky scooped it up without though and brought it down, smashing an arm and blocking the counter attack with Steve’s shield. It ducked down and Bucky got it in the head. It fell, twitching.

Breathing heavily, Bucky turned to find the others staring at him. Self-consciously he moved to give Thor back his hammer. Natasha was helping Steve to his feet.

“You are worthy,” said Thor, surprise in his voice.

“What?” Bucky wanted to slink off, didn’t like so many eyes on him.

“Only those who are worthy may wield Mjolinor. You are worthy, my friend.”

Steve was grinning at him as Bucky handed the shield back. “Come on. You can stop hiding now.”
