"Black Widow" Worrying Marvel

From "Tragic Spies" to " Cardinals" and " Anna", the image of Russian female agents in American movies can basically be summarized as follows: The beautiful and sexy Russian female agents fall in love with American men, treasonous and defiant, throw themselves into the arms of the United States. Although the structure is simple and old-fashioned, it is useful. It fully satisfies the American dream of the red necks of Amelica. I call it the American movie version of Huiyuan Kidney.

and black widow obviously did not break away from this routine. She had been ambiguous about Captain America, Iron Man, and Hawkeye, and once had a stable relationship with the gentle and good man Dr. Banner. In the movie "Black Widow", she and Yelena are more straightforward and fall in love with Uncle Sam more abstractly, and the democratic and free America he represents. In "Avengers IV", she sacrificed herself without hesitation and fulfilled the eagle eye (a representative of a typical American middle-class figure, with a wife, a son and a house, another symbol of the American dream)-a middle class without American A nuclear family member completes an American-style middle-class nuclear family member.

Is a super heroine or a perfect projection of Male Fantasy? ——Cool Girl Trope

Cool girl is hot. Cool girl is game. Cool girl is fun. Cool girl never gets angry at her man. She only smiles in a chagrin-loving manner and then presents her mouth for fucking. She likes what he likes. —— From Gone Girl

and for Natasha,She is not only the "brother" who saves the world with the male super hero, she is also a sexy and beautiful female character who can satisfy the pleasure of male viewers. Of course, a very important point is that she is a secondary character, which is stronger than her in the comic universe, and is different from the leadership setting. In the MCU movie universe, she has been weakened in all aspects (here and It’s not that the MCU comic universe is more female-friendly), she is just a role that provides support for other male characters that will not overwhelm them, and can add some fighting and glamorous scenes to the movie, commonly known as a tool person.

Of course, if a Cool Girl is just a brother to a man, she just likes cars, sports, or other traditionally masculine activities, then she is not a Cool Girl . The most important thing for Cool Girl is that her boyish temperament has to be put into a sexy and effortless female body. For example, Natasha made her debut in " Iron Man 2 ". She is the undercover agent sent by SHIELD to Stark Industries. She plays the role of Iron Man’s secretary. She can speak multiple languages, but Iron Man is the most What is interested is her underwear photo . Not to mention that in many MCU movies, her costumes, expressions, movements, and behaviors were overly sexualized in order to cater to male gaze, and the camera focused too much on her breasts, buttocks, etc. with sexual hints. Of the site.

In Black Widow’s personal movie, Marvel seems to reflect on the former male gaze. It uses Yelena’s mouth to tease Natasha’s previous excessive sexual postures. It can be seen that before Warner through " Wonder Woman " ate feminist rice, Marvel was very jealous.Yelena not only ridiculed Natasha’s sexual posture in the Marvel series of movies, she herself is an example of a woman who is not “sexy”. The movie depicts her discomfort with sexy poses in many places, and repeatedly emphasizes that she is comfortable to wear. Practical clothes—the vest that has many pockets, fits well, and is very convenient—corresponds to the current Western feminist criticism that there are no pockets in the fashion industry.

I have to say that Marvel did "work hard" in order to please the Western mainstream feminism in the personal black widow movie.

Back to the two generations of black widows Natasha and Yelena, although Yelena replaced the old Cool Girl represented by Natasha, from pleasing men to pleasing women, her image is evolved compared to Natasha, of course she still looks good so cute. But in addition to getting rid of Cool Girl as the object of sexual gaze, can she get rid of being an accessory to the male super British? Sacrifice for the "brothers" (men's super British). These two points should also be taken into consideration.

Now that we have talked about the two generations of black widows Natasha and Yelena, I have to mention that they have been mentioned in the movie many times, and they were sterilized by Red Room. Here I skip the criticism of the reproductive humiliation of Natasha in "Avengers 2" because he was unable to have children and considered himself a monster. I would like to ask a question first: Does the liberation of women come at the cost of women's self-elimination?

If there is a movement in this world that dispels the main body of the movement, it must be a feminist movement. The feminist movement, especially liberal feminism, has participated in and shaped the concept of gender, denying a series of differences between men and women based on physiological differences, and conspiring with the affirmative movement to derive a set of “civilization” similar to gender mobility. division".This disregard of facts and consequences has also received some so-called scientific support. These scientists serving for political purposes, without any substantive evidence at all, forcibly concluded that some of the data they listed could not be confirmed at all. The conclusion.

This kind of digestion of women basically involves two directions. One, the elimination of the gender of women. After experiencing, for thousands of years, men educate women about what a woman should be, and now it's up to men to define what a woman is. In the "American Equal Rights Act", a male athlete is allowed to participate in female sports competitions as a female as long as he declares that he is a woman without taking any medicine. This equality is based on denying the equality of women's gender. It is not women, but people who have menstruation, and they are "women" who are more feminine than women.

The second direction is the elimination of female natural fertility and organs. Female sexual characteristics are called holes and flesh, and female fertility is a burden. Women pursue equality like men. The primary level is self-disgusting of their own body and fertility, and the ultimate goal is to become a subordinate man without fertility through surgery. All the girls in the Red Room have been sterilized. It seems like a coming-of-age ceremony of an excellent agent. As long as there are female fertility, you are not an excellent agent, only "like a man" can't Only when you are pregnant can you be an excellent agent.

Patriarchal society itself is such a contradiction, misogynistic but must rely on women for reproduction . On the one hand, they admonish women, just like a woman, you have no social value, only family value, so you can only be secondary and subordinate to men; on the other hand, they admonish women that if they are like men, they have social value. , No family value, is a monster. In fact, the position of women in society and the family, whether they are respected or oppressed or not, has nothing to do with whether they conform to the norms of women, but only with who makes the norms. As long as the rule is still patriarchy,So whether women are to cater to capital patriarchy, to be like men, or to cater to traditional patriarchy, women who want to be feminine are not the way out for women.
