10 Emotional MCU Scenes That Made You Cry
6. Black Widow's Death - Avengers: Endgame
Black Widow is a character fans have loved since her appearance in Iron Man 2. She was a tough and strong female superhero that had layers to her character and a mysterious backstory we never fully knew. Many expected to see Scarlet Johansson in many future movies, but then came Endgame.
To get the Soul Stone, a sacrifice was needed. The loss of somebody loved, and it was either going to be Clint Barton or Natasha Romanoff.
The two of them fought each other to be the one to die, both refusing to go through the pain of seeing a person they love pass. But in the end, Natasha met her fate, accepting her death and falling to the bottom of Vormir just like Gamora did before her.
Even though the two fought each other during the Civil War, Clint Barton was still heartbroken upon seeing her fall, alongside all the viewers watching Endgame for the first time.
Taking away such a beloved character was a brave choice from Marvel’s writers. While many fans felt betrayed, at the same time, the sacrifice felt necessary. The original Marvel heroes' stories were starting to end, and this death marked the start of that.
