By now, you’re either a Marvel Cinematic Universe devotee or you’re sick of it but, if you have a little wiggle room, I’m here to tell you Black Widow is entertaining on its own, without a million prerequisites.

“On its own” is the key phrase. Somehow, the MCU has convinced us that it’s fine for most of its movies to connect to two dozen other ones, with beginnings that require research, “plots” that are mostly just things blowing up and endings that don’t end anything.
