    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.
    I hear what you are saying, but I think we are not talking about the same things

    It depends how deep you're into Castle's "belief."

    See, you basically said this makes sense:

    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.

I do think Scar Jo yearns to get more into serious Oscar bait movies. the black widow thing was all a cooperate job to her , not really surprised now she had sued Disney's asses because she thinks she is not getting her job's worth.
    So one could take it (as I believe Rincewind did) that you're saying that makes sense. Which it, of course, does not.

    Okay I’m confused, it’s not the first time and it won’t be the last time

    Essentially, it boils down whether you're saying ScarJo being emboldened to sue makes sense, or that retroactive "she's checked out" theory Castle's trying to sell does.

    I’m buying Castle’s theory, however I don’t see much difference between the two.

    One is such an obvious view of the situation that it's barely worth reporting (ex-employee isn't afraid to confront former employer, ooh), the other is made-up nonsense.

    I don't buy she's checked out in her Black Widow role. Thats just Castle doing his MCU dance. I do buy she doesnt want to work with Disney anymore and she is throwing a long ball. Others feel she can just walk back in after all of this and be try out for a role on the Mandalorian. Yea no.

    We don’t know the details of the contract, we don’t know what going on behind the scenes, we don’t know her mindset.
    We all are speculating and giving our opinions, there is nothing wrong with that.

    We do know ScarJo enjoyed playing Black Widow. Suggesting she didn't so that it lines up with one's opinion of her performance in the role and ties-in to the reason behind the lawsuit is just agenda-pushing.

    It makes sense when you look at in a long distance. I think we need to go back to this thread earlier when it was discussed how Scar Jo sees this movies, she give the impression it is all just a cooperate job to her and she does not seem to show as much passion or deep interest in them as her indie woody allen films.

    she also knew she was done in the role by Endgame, so there was just nothing left for her in this role as a serious actress, it was just all about the money. Unlike maybe her roles in a woddy allen film , where for her, it is more about proving she is a great actress, with MCU films, that was more about her bank account. So right now she feels Disney has cheated her out of it, she sues them.

    And why should we believe this theory over the actress's own words saying how much she loved the character and how excited she was about the solo film?

    I am referring to the "checked out and so over the role" portion of the post. The knowledge that this was SJ's last time as Black Widow and that she is not risking future jobs is not in dispute.

    This is utter hogwash, more anti-MCU garbage you love to spew. Can you find one word she said about making this movie that would lead anyone to think this is objectively true?
    There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

    You can keep trying to push the square peg through a round hole, but no one needs to "look at it from a long distance" to see what you're peddling.

    This is not true that I spew garbage or hogwash. I don't objectively doubt Scar Jo words about loving playing the role since she said that. However things are more complex than that.
