like, watch me be extra salty about this
you can rationalize that monster scene all you want - and you might even make a very compelling argument. but the thing people take issue with isn’t with NATASHA for saying that she’s a monster (which is an understandable reaction to trauma like that) but with WHEDON for writing that line the way he did, without bruce even saying a throwaway ‘you’re not a monster’, for equating being forcibly violated by other people resulting in an inability to breed with killing thousands of people and saying, essentially, that because she couldn’t have children that means she cares less about killing people in the field, as if a woman’s empathy is intrinsically tied with her fertility
but ultimately people are pissed that he took what should have been a backstory that STOOD ON ITS OWN and used it to have her prop up bruce’s storyline and saying some elopement bullshit, it’s an external critique of the AUTHOR not an internal critique of the narrative what the hell part of this is hard to get
also its incredibly ridiculous that they’d make her kill someone but the graduation ceremony is sterilization. like can you imagine if hydra’s most evil deed was to give bucky a vasectomy like who are you even kidding
