I WAS WRONG ABOUT YELENA

I was wrong for the first time in my entire life. I thought Yelena would be the most boring champion in the game, considering how bland everything about her is in the movies. I assumed we would get MCU Yelena… but instead we got the sick Comics design…

Her special animations are also fire 🔥 I love characters that let bullets fly 🔫, and that’s exactly what Yelena does in her specials. Her reversal looks cool too (better than Patriots 😡😠😤 make Patriot a top tier skill champ! The Skill class NEEDS IT.)
Anyway… W to the Kabam animation team for knowing how boring the MCU Yelena is in terms of outfit, abilities, etc, and using her comic book design. I now Want Yelena 🤘🏽😤🔥🙏🏽💯💪🏽

About her being ‘well written’ though…. she isn’t well written. How does Yelena go from finding out that Hawkeye isn’t the one who killed her Sister Natasha, which means that Valentina Allegra De Fontaine lied to her about who killed her sister… then in her next appearance in Thunderbolts, she is working for the woman that lied to her without any mention, reference or interaction covering the fact that she lied… which would absolutely cause tension between them to say the least. Yelena also didn’t react to the death of Female Taskmaster at all, even though Yelena and Taskmaster had the same horrible childhood. Yelena would relate with Female Taskmaster because they both went though so much torture. Yelena would hate to see Female Taskmaster go out like that, right in front of her. Her sister Natasha literally saved Female Taskmaster because she had so much guilt for what she did to her, and Natasha wanted the best for her. But in Thunderbolts, Yelena has no care or reaction to the fact that she just saw Female Taskmaster get shot in the dome right in front of here….
Calling Yelena ‘well written’ is laughable. She may be written better than most of the characters in the current MCU…. but is that really saying much? Nah.
She's the main reason to watch Widow movie and new thunderbolts.
Is this you? This is you right? I can't tell if you wrote this or someone else.......but anyway, whoever said this said "bland everything", not looking, everything. But I can see how one can get confused with "looking" and "everything". They're spelled nearly identical and sound exactly the same.
Yelena in the movies and Hawkeye series isn't advanced in her story arc and the Yelena they modeled the MCOC version of. The MCOC version, is the comics version that has a ton of character development to go with that character model. Much like how Iron Man in the movies advances his suits along with more movies. She's had 3 appearances now. She's just beginning to get her backing with Valentina. But to say she's bland is just plain wrong. The character is played very well by Florence and she does an amazing job with connecting with all these characters she comes across. I'm sorry you need someone to have fancy weapons and things in movies to think they're great but it's not what makes a character good in movies.
I am also not sure what ideas you had about powers anyway? She's a Black Widow, they are not superhuman and have no real powers outside of being highly skilled combatants.
The whole “how did we get here exactly?” problem is a problem of structure within the MCU. Getting to the starting line of Thunderbolts involved the Hawkeye show, F+WS, BW movie, and a bunch of stuff Marvel probably wishes they never did. But the characters specifically, I really liked them. (Maybe not Val, she just seems like warmed over Veep with some villainy sprinkled on top.)
Honestly though. I’m always super happy when I see that Butthers has decided to give his valuable input on a subject. I never ever lose brain cells speaking to you 🤘🏽 truly someone who can make well structured replies that always make sense and are worth reading 🤘🏽 I’m just glad that you spend your time commenting on every forums post that has ever existed 🤘🏽 i’d feel incredibly sad for any forums post that isn’t blessed with your presence 🤘🏽 I can’t wait to see what you have to say on any future post of mine 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Op comes back and writes I was wrong, yelena is awesome- gets disagreed to oblivion by the same people.
Moral of the story: OP you can’t win.
Like you mentioned, the ‘how did we get here’ issue that has plagued the MCU since the end of Phase 3 is still going on. There’s been close to ZERO setup for anything that has happen in these recent movies and future movies. Things just happen. I’m just glad that the characters and the story were actually taken seriously for once in a current MCU project. Despite all of the Thunderbolts flaws… I really enjoyed the movie and their efforts to finally make characters and the story interesting after years of slop.
You’re unable to make a point, unable to stay on topic, unable to realise that my opinion on Yelena being added to MCOC is a different conversation to my opinion on MCU Yelena as a character.
You won’t get another response from me here, else none of my brain cells will make it out of this interaction alive. 💀🧠 I’ll leave you to attend the 1000+ other forums posts that you are inevitably going to spend time typing on 💀👍🏽
Have stupendous day my son 🚶🏽♂️
OP gets disagreed with a lot.
OP has and will always give his honest, uncommon opinion no matter how many disagree with him.
OP said Yelena’s design, animations and abilities will be as boring as the MCU Yelena is… not how trash she will be in terms of quality (get it right).
OP sees Kabam use Yelena’s comic design instead of her MCU design.
OP sees Yelena has cool animations.
OP has enough self awareness & honesty to change his mind and even say ‘i’m wrong’ on forums, knowing that forums weirdos like you will decide to think he’s catering to you because you need that validation.
OP wastes his time replying to idiots and wishes he didn’t 💀
