I don’t think the Hulk is saving him at all, it’s ruining his life and tearing him away from a place where he belongs. Meanwhile Widow is firmly entrenched in a position she’s earned through her actions in the MCU.

Folks have got to recognize that if the conversation opens with treating the representation of the Black Widow in the film like it is one of the ten greatest crimes of the 21st Century, then the conversation is going nowhere that will help anyone.

People keep bringing this up. I think the reveal of her sterilization had more to do with her relationship with Banner than it being the crowning moment in her backstory.

This. Oh, wait...I ALREADY STARTED HATING IT WITH THE FINAL EPISODE! KNOWING HOW HORRIBLY IT ENDS MAKES ENJOYING ALL THAT CAME BEFORE IT IMPOSSIBLE!

I kind of think superhero movies are the modern westerns. I don't think the bubble is going to burst within the next few years, but within the next few decades? Yes. And some day my grandkid will think of superhero movies the way I think of John Wayne movies- something from a bygone era.
