Do Russians find the Black Widow insulting?

It would be insulting, and Russians hate it, but it is true that the systematic smearing of the USSR/Russia by the West in film and television has led to cognitive dissonance in the general public.

For example, in the spy wars, it is clear that color seduction is a very common means, and it has nothing to do with which country the spies are from, but only in the former Soviet Union there are for everyone to recognize the common name "swallow", "crow", and it has become a symbol of the evil of the former Soviet Union. The former Soviet Union is one of the symbols of evil.

In fact, the symbolic portrayal of Russian women from the Cold War era was not only insulting to Russia, but also disrespectful to women. Ditto including the female spies in James Bond and reports of beautiful Russian spies in the Western media, both of which are a symbolic witch hunt.

Black Widow's smearing of Russia is still relatively quite subtle, in two main ways.

One is the cruelty and evil of the "Red House" organization. The Black Widow was originally a super-spy trained by the Russian spy organization "Red House," but she later betrayed the organization. The Black Widow was originally a super spy trained by the Russian spy organization "Red House".

And later became a member of the Avengers, and this Red House organization in the film can be described as no evil, in the world to implement a variety of evil plans, but also on their own training of the widow agent is extremely cruel, one of the widow once said, in this organization, their own uterus have to be removed.

The second is to vilify the image of Captain Russia. From the movie, you can see that Captain Russia has a big belly and a scruffy beard, while Captain America is handsome and gallant.

And the Russian captain is not only ugly, but also a bad hand, two to five to be knocked down by the enemy, while the American captain faces an elevator of people, a few strong man can not pull. Disney's vilification of Russia is kind of light and doesn't use such blunt and dirty tactics, which is why this one only gets one star.
