Roses, Glitter and Faerie Wings

~*~

Roses, glitter and faerie wings

Is what of which I am made

The thorns of the roses may sting

The wings do not always lift me

When I clutch the roses too hard

When too heavy to be lift I be

But it is worth the stings of the thorns

To be a rose-clad, glittering faerie

To then be fully free of mourns

It is worth to not always rise

To sometimes be left on the ground

Far beneath the freedom of the sky

To be a rose-clad, glittering faerie

And to then no worries carry

Marvel stop

I'm only slightly very pissed right now.

Here's three badass characters, yet only two of them get to actually look real badass, while the third... whips her hair?

What the fuck is up with that?

Natasha Romanoff is undoubtedly one of the most badass Avengers, yet does she get to look tough and menacing? No, she lookes like she's in a bloody shampoo commercial.

And what really pisses me off is that that's not even true to her character, at least not as she's been portrayed in the films. The Natasha I've gotten to know is tougher than most (tougher than Nick and Steve imo). It's really pleasant to see a female super hero who's only real purpose isn't to walk around and look sexy. Natasha is one of few really cool and well-treated female characters. She's a role model. An actual, good, female role model.

But, of course, we can't have that. In The Winter Soldier, she walks around having romantic relationships with multiple male characters, and of course, she has to walk around whipping her hair seductively.
On the both the Iron Man 2 and the Avengers poster she looked as badass as the male characters. But no, we can't have that anymore.

The only reason I wanted to see The Winter Soldier was because of her. But if this is what she's treated like, I'm not so sure.
