Did nobody watch this fucking movie and see how fucking awesome she was? How did her character ‘get fucked up’ exactly? Risking her life to keep Ultron from getting Vision? Alerting the Avengers to where she was even when imprisoned? Fighting side-by-side against the fucking killer robots with only her close-ranged weapons and NO powers? BUT NO! She has a relationship with Bruce, let’s out the fact she DOES have doubts about being a hero after all the horrible shit she did and her being unable to forgive herself or even feel ‘normal’ compared to the others on her team because her upbringing WASN’T normal, including being fucking mutilated so she couldn’t have a kid and something else to live for. NO! EMOTIONAL development is fucking murder to her character. We need the girl who can walk away from Loki’s taunting without a flinch, despite it CLEARLY getting to her when she walked away. We can’t have a character with probably the highest body-count on the team have fucking EMOTIONS.
There’s no “THIS” gif good enough to express my feelings about the above response.
Once again, SJWs ignore character depth so they can complain that a character is shallow.
I think one of the major problems is they think that when Black Widow says “I’m a monster” They think that is the writer saying that she is a monster, instead of “She thinks she’s a monster” She can be wrong about herself.
Well, yes, that would be a fair point, except every film but IM2 featuring her has noted that she’s done some bad things in her past and feels guilty for them. Assuming that the writer meant “She’s a monster because she can’t have children” is not exactly reasonable.
On top of the idea feminist seem to have about how the portrayal of flawed woman is somehow sexist.

She’s a monster because she killed dozens of people just to get IN to the assassins group. And she killed hundreds more afterwards.
