Black Widow, pt. 2

We already know it’s going to have its share of feminist tropes, such as the women tearing down the men verbally. I think they’re setting up a Russia-U.S. alliance, with the Thunderbolts as the new (Dark) Avengers being spearheaded by Thunderbolt Ross, who will either here or later become the Red Hulk. So you’ll get heavy-handed Trump administration analogies here and in later films. This is basically Marvel’s “The Handmaid’s Tale”, Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “Herland” inverted. Anti-Feminist dystopian USSR/Russia in union with patriarchal America. They’d probably bring in Hydra Cap from the comics, the version of Steve Rogers that has always been a Nazi, but I expect that’s something Kevin Feige would say no to.
