As it turns out, one of the reason she so easily sued Disney was because she knew she would not be coming back to play the role

Scarlett Johansson Was Reportedly "Emboldened" To Sue Disney Because She's Done Playing BLACK WIDOW
So you can actually look at it that way, she had checked out, she knew she was so over the role and there was nothing to loose.
Lost in Translation is a big yes. The fact that she held her own while onscreen with Bill Murray without being ignored or forgotten shows that she's memorable.
Ghost World: Gonna need some support that she wants to forget this. When I google, the only results I get are from positive reviews of her performance.
HER: Incredibly memorable. The fact that it's only a voice role shows how much SJ can leave an impression on audiences.
The argument that SJ has not had memorable roles feels like moving the goalposts at this point. Is there any doubt that Scarlett Johansson has a successful career in critically acclaimed art house movies as well as blockbusters? Is there any doubt that she's a widely respected actress with industry recognition for her roles? Do I need to list her multiple Oscar nominations, BAFTA win, or Tony win?
This feels like just another excuse to complain about blockbuster movies in general and the MCU in specific.
The reason she knows she isn't coming back is because her character is dead and the Black Widow movie was planned ahead of time as her swan song for Natasha. Knowing that she doesn't have any future projects as BW does not mean in any way, shape, or form that her performance was checked out. The movie was planned and filmed before since before early 2020. The lawsuit is clearly about the movie not getting a theatrical exclusive release and how it affected her compensation.
Trying to argue that the lawsuit is indicative of any negative feelings towards the role is unsubstantiated by any actual evidence. Only someone with a truly biased view would see it as such.

There’s a point that has been lost.
“ScarJo hasn’t been in any memorable roles.”
::goes on to list at least 5 roles they remembered::
SJ is saying that she is not at risk of losing out on future acting projects as the Black Widow. And therefore she cannot lose any future role by pursuing a lawsuit over BW compensation.
You are ignoring all the positive things she has said about the role, including that it was her favorite.

This has been pointed out multiple times in the thread, but is never addressed when saying SJ was tired of the role. It also ignores the hands on duties SJ performed as a producer of Black Widow. She personally recruited the director for the movie.
The only way to interpret that statement as dissatisfaction with the role of Black Widow, the MCU, or Marvel is if you interpret every thing with a subtext of anti-MCU sentiment. That is the definition of bias.
