Black Widow: 21 WTF Moments
13. Melina Mind Controls A Pig (And Almost Kills It)
Throughout the movie, Nat and Yelena's mother figure Melina (Rachel Weisz) is still working under Dreykov in the Red Room, and has access to his technology which allows him to control living things.
Melina demonstrates the tech, which manipulates the brain's basal ganglia, to Nat, Yelena, and Alexei by testing it out on one of her pet pigs.
After coaxing the animal inside their home, she uses a computer tablet to shut down its respiratory system, causing the poor pig to slowly suffocate while the others express shock at both the technology and the dying pig.
After the pig keels over, though, Melina restores its ability to breathe, allowing it to recover with seconds to spare. Phew.
