I still love the opening to Black Widow so much. It's so powerful and it does such a good job of conveying the trauma Natasha endured while she was exploited into being a child soldier. It's heartbreaking, and the use of the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" cover was a fucking brilliant commentary on the MCU fandom at large and of modern day parenting--
There are worse things than your kids seeing a sex scene or a man in a dress or seeing fake bloodshed in a superhero movie. That is what it is saying. It's hauntingly beautiful and brutally honest, and that's why I just laugh whenever some movie snob says Marvel movies have no point.
Because Marvel movies do have a point -- you're just too busy being pretentious to pick up on it.
