She's a damn good actress who was wasted by Marvel.

I'm a big MCU fan and I totally agree.

I mean, she may have deserved more focus, but she did absolutely help elevate the story when given the chance. Hell, even that one line in Infinity War, "She's not alone." I remember getting the chills from it.

My one complaint about her death was that she didn't even mention or think of Bruce. I would have loved to have had that closure on their relationship, like her telling Clint "tell Bruce I love him" or something. I found their love story so heartbreaking and I wish I had gotten closure on it

Yes, totally agree, and I had the same thought.

Marvel movies are a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine, so I wouldn't necessarily say wasted, but I agree 100% on her acting chops!

People like to shit on what's popular so they shit on Marvel. If you had told me as a child that we'd get like 20 super hero movies that were all decent, that leads into a giant Avengers/marvel teamup against Thanos, I would have shit myself. And the whole thing turned out great. Better than star wars did originally and with the sequels. But since it's popular and run by Disney, people will shit all over it

No one will ever convince me that the universe and super-budget tv season they put together isn't a work of art.

Hard agree. Star wars ended up being total trash. Somehow avengers movies (while steadily decreasing in quality over time) are generally decent.
