  1. Okay, but Black Widow isn't just extremely beautiful. She's beautiful, and deadly. She's not a heroine, she's a fucking turncoat assassin. So, her sexualization is definitely "Look but don't touch" literally toxic femininity. Her symbol is the hourglass on the abdomen of one of the most feared venomous creatures in human history. Natalie Rushman was sexualized, because that was her cover. Happy touched that, and he got bitten. Immediately, in the first scene. Steve was too much of a boy scout, so he could work with her. If she'd been paired up with say Rumlow/Crossbones instead, they probably would never have found his body. Banner was her "Safe" pick, because she literally can't kill him. Think about that, the guy with the Hulk in his head is her safest pick.

  2. I have to point this out: Natasha Baddinoff is a parody of her. She's literally the femme fatale.
