Black Widow (2021)

The film leans left due to its central critique of a patriarchal, state-like organization that systematically exploits women, and its emphasis on liberation and the strength of chosen family bonds over traditional structures.

The movie features an intentional gender swap for a key character, transforming a traditionally male role into a female one. Its narrative prominently critiques male-dominated systems, portraying a white male antagonist as the orchestrator of female exploitation, and centers on the liberation of women from this oppressive structure.

Black Widow does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on Natasha Romanoff's past and her surrogate family, without exploring any LGBTQ+ identities or related plotlines.

The film features Natasha Romanoff, Yelena Belova, and Melina Vostokoff, who are all shown to be highly skilled in close-quarters combat. They repeatedly engage in and win physical fights against multiple male opponents, demonstrating their martial arts proficiency.
