Avengers: Endgame
WARNING : Major coddler forAvengers : Endgame .
Avengers : Endgamescreenwriters of late chip in their take on why one major character ’s forfeiture in the blockbuster photographic film was appropriate , which was something many fans kvetch about after leaving the theater . Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely were permit to conclude the arcs of the six master Avengers as they wished , which lead to the extremely successfulAvengers : Infinity Warand itseven more telling continuation , but some of those conclusions were not as well - received as others .
While on a quest to collect all six Infinity Stones from the past times for undo the pushover , Natasha ( Scarlett Johansson ) and Clint ( Jeremy Renner ) were face with the fearful truth about the Soul Stone : one could only obtain it after losing what they love . Both hoagy were more than willing to sacrifice their lives in edict to save the creation , and both cited the lifetime they themselves had take as a reason they should take the plunge , but in the end Natasha got the better of Clint and engross to her demise at the bottom of Vormir ’s cliff . Naturally , not everyone establish this a meet end for her .

In an interview withThe Los Angeles Times , the two author explain how they decided her fate and share their thoughts on the mixed reaction to that particular plot stage . Markus said , " I empathize she was a dear character and none of us need our Italian sandwich to die , but that is the natural conclusion of her journey , and it is the sort of apotheosis of who she is becoming . She startle out as a very blue theatrical role . Even before the picture begin , she ’s a spy , she ’s an assassinator . She has red in her ledger and to take her all the way to that sacrifice point is where her eccentric is headed . And to not permit her do that seemed a ill service to her as a hero . "
McFeely responded in a similar veining , saying,“We could n’t be afraid to kill her simply because she was the most important and the first female part . “He then turn to the other heroes as example of the tale they mean to recite , adding,“The destination with all these thing is just to put these people on a journey or persist in or end their journeys . Steve Rogers goes from selfless to slightly more ego - interested . Tony operate from selfish to pay himself for the universe . Thor conk from obligated to let go of that certificate of indebtedness . And Black Widow goes from a woman with bolshy on her ledger to understandably wiping out all that red . "
There ’s no question that Natasha did number from a dark property , and that give her liveliness for the greater good would be a way to equilibrise the scales and more . But that still leaves the dubiousness of why Hawkeye did n’t need to wipe his leger fresh , consider thatAvengers : Endgamerevealed the post - Thanos year had turn him into a sight murderer . Even if the people he killed happened to be drug dealer and pack leaders , he explicitly acknowledge how much blood he had on his work force . Perhaps the interrogation is why that heroic choice was available and necessary for Natasha , but not for Clint who but rejoin home to his family .
That family , and Black Widow ’s want of one exterior of the Avengers themselves , has been been suggested as justification for her death as well . Not having a spouse and small fry , which became a major sticking point in herAvengers : Age of Ultron , should not make her life less valuable - but perhaps it ’s better to think of her sacrifice the way the screenwriter did . Natasha find that giving her lifetime was the most loving thing she could do for her friends , her family , and the world at large . Whether fan felt she got her due or not , at least they can rest assured thatAvengers : Endgameacknowledged her heroism .
