Libby's First Time Watching Black Widow... It Didn't Deserve the Hate

This week on Forget The Critics Ep. 26, Libby watches Black Widow for the very first time, and we dive into one of the MCU's most underrated movies. From Natasha's emotional backstory to Yelena stealing every scene, we break down what worked, what didn't, hidden Easter eggs, and whether this movie deserved all the criticism it received. We also debate: Should Black Widow have released before Endgame? Was Taskmaster actually that bad? Is Red Guardian one of Marvel's funniest characters? Did Marvel go a little too far with Natasha's "superhuman" moments? Then we wrap up Marvel Phase 3 with an MCU trivia challenge to see who knows these movies better! 👇 Let us know in the comments: Do you think Black Widow deserves the hate? 👍 If you enjoyed the episode, be sure to Like, Subscribe, and turn on notifications so you never miss a review! #Marvel #BlackWidow #MCU #MarvelStudios #MovieReview #ForgetTheCritics #Podcast #YelenaBelova #RedGuardian #ScarlettJohansson Chapters: 0:00 Introduction 0:21 First Reactions 1:01 Should Black Widow Have Come Before Endgame? 3:08 Natasha's Emotional Backstory 8:48 Red Guardian & Yelena 12:09 The Humor in Black Widow 13:31 Breaking Down the Villain 19:16 Does This Movie Make You Appreciate Black Widow More? 21:51 Black Widow Easter Eggs 26:28 Common Criticisms 34:29 Marvel Phase 3 Trivia Challenge 55:18 Final Thoughts & Next Week's Movie
