The still burgeoning small-screen Marvel Cinematic Universe has made some pretty big impressions since beginning earlier this years. From introducing us to “Agatha All Along” to bringing the shield of Captain America to Sam Wilson, the latest installments of the mega franchise have made some pretty small-to-medium size splashes in the pop culture sphere. But all that is about to change, thanks to a series starring the God of Mischief himself, Loki.

It’s been a long voyage for Natasha Romanoff to get to the big screen on her own. Regardless of the fact that she’s been a supporting player since her debut in 2010’s Iron Man 2, the Russian Super spy also had her big solo adventure delayed multiple times during the COVID-19 pandemic (which is still going on, even if things are improving around the country and places want you to think it’s over). Poor Nat bounced around release dates five different times, but finally, Black Widow has arrived to signal not only a return to some of sort of normalcy for the box office, but for the pop culture behemoth that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As the long-awaited solo movie for a character that’s deserved one for a few years now, there’s a lot of hype surrounding the film. When you add in the delays due to COVID, that hype increases exponentially. Can the super-spy Avenger live up to those lofty expectations?

Almost.
