Scarlett Johansson criticises ‘hypersexualisation’ of Black Widow in Iron Man 2 (Actor says her character was ‘talked about like a possession’ in her first appearance in the Marvel film franchise)
The scene she is talking about is this one:
More specifically, she's talking about Tony's dialogue at the end of the clip.
First off, Scarlett Johansson is quoting the line wrong. Tony Stark never said he "wants some", he said that he wants one. By this he means a wife that could kick ass and such. Tony is a guy who always wants something, that always "wants one". Natasha knew Stark's weakness and he exploited it in order to get close to him.
This wasn't about Natasha Romanoff, it was about Tony Stark's flaws and the way in which he allowed himself to be checked by Pepper Potts.
Moving on from that scene, in the article Scarlett Johansson also talks about how Black Widow was kind of lame or underdeveloped (or at least that's what I understood. At various points it looked like Scarlett Johansson didn't really knew how to express herself or get her message across). In which case I have to agree. Overall, Black Widow in the MCU didn't really have a lot going for her other than calming down the Hulk for some reason, at least until Endgame came out and well, you know what happens in that movie. Keep in mind that Black Widow is not supposed to be a one-off or background character, she's part of the core cast of the Avengers; a menber of the original team. I haven't watched the Black Widow film so I don't know if they actually succeded in giving more depth to Black Widow's character or if the movie is a bad as people say it is.
Your character can be sexy/physically attractive and still be interesting, just saying. Then again, maybe I'm giving Scarlett Johansson too much credit.
"But Black Widow did something! Remenber the time she tricked Loki in Avengers 1?" - My dude, if you actually remenbered the movie then you would know that Loki tricked Black Widow, not the other way around. In fact, he manipulated all of S.H.I.E.L.D. Loki was playing 4D chess.
And before any of you brings up Hawkeye, he's gonna have his own TV show soon.
