If people who don’t belong together, because of petty difference, can set aside egos, a powerful force an be established.
Never underestimate the power of a woman. In this story Natasha Romanoff has no romantic interest, as is too often the case. This is a solidly strong woman role (Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow).
Evil is always its own undoing. One reaps what you one sows.
A collaborating community, with a common–goal is powerful!
