Natasha Romanova: Black Widow Appreciation 2022

The suit bugs me more than the hair. There was no point in messing with it since you can't improve perfection and Nat's classic suit is literal perfection. But today's writers/artists all feel the urge to put their stamp on a character.

One can't even see the Widow's Bites because they are hidden by the sleeves. Let's just hide the character's iconic accessory, great idea. Such a crappy design.

Im certainly not mad about it but the hood/hair combo is kinda stupid. Both could obscure your vision and get you killed. That's obviously the last thing an experienced operative who uses guns and acrobatics would ever want or do. Her get-up doesn't have to be realistic. This is still fiction after all and her classic outfit isn't realistic either but there still should be a balance between fantasy and realistic. She is a mildly enhanced human who relies on military-grade training, tactics and equipment to get the job done after all.
I really like something this fan-art for example.

This is a little too clunky looking to me, but I prefer fantasy versus realism in my Superhero costumes.

I mean that was to make disguising easier kinda like cap's beard.

Also meant Scarlett didn't have to dye her hair or wear a wig like she usually did. Thor's forced short haircut in Ragnarok has the same real life logic.

Pretty sure that bleach blonde is dyed too, no?
But I guess it's easier to keep up for a longer period of time while filming because it doesn't fade?
I dunno I don't dye my hair.

Yeah was a dye job. Even her eyebrows got the Thor 1 treatment and were bleached.^^

I'm not up to date what Marvel is publishing lately but I just stumbled upon this page from an apparently upcoming Secret Invasion comic that has Natasha in her classic suit

Would have thought Phoenix Echo but not sure if she's still a thing

I love Natasha classic suit, especially when drawn and colored correctly.

I really love the early look like in your avatar. Perfection!

I think it is supposed to be Echo, but I think she is done as Phoenix?

[Digifiend]

No, she's still Phoenix.

I didn't even know that comic was a thing and I usually try to keep up with what my favourites currently do, whoops.

Same here.

Nor that blonde color that the movie gave us, which I never understood.

To me, Natasha is long, red hair.

I read that was Scarlet's choice. If true, it was a bad choice. She looked best in Iron Man II. All of her appearances after that suffered in comparison (and not just because of the hair).

I liked her look in IM II the best as well.
