10 More Movies That Almost Had Much Better Endings
1. Natasha As A Role Model - Black Widow
Scarlett Johansson has been a major part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe longer than almost anyone, and there is no denying that Black Widow deserved her own solo outing. However, there is also no denying that Natasha's solo outing came too late.
Acting as a prequel set between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War, the movie ended on a tease for how Nat wound up back with the Avengers in time for Thanos' invasion. This fell flat because everyone already knew the story, and as such the scene really didn't add anything substantial.
What would have however, is Black Widow's original closing moments. Instead of leading into a film that had already happened, both Natasha and Scarlett Johansson's MCU swansong could have concluded in a much more meaningful way, by showing just how much impact the hero had on the world.
Passing a group of children playing in the street, Natasha was recognised by one of the young girls with whom she shared a quick moment. They only smiled and pointed imaginary blasters at each other, but it showed how much Black Widow meant to her as a superhero, and in a more real way, how much Scarlett Johansson's role meant to young girls watching her. She was a true role model, and this would have been a far more poignant and meaningful final scene for the character.
