Speaking of, you gotta let it go. “Natasha is dead. She is dead. She’s dead. Okay?” She knows what you Marvel fans are chirping. “They just don’t want to believe it. They’re like, ‘But she could come back!’ Look, I think the balance of the entire universe is held in her hand. We’re going to have to let it go. She saved the world. Let her have her hero moment.”
Nats dead the same way rdj was exiting the mcu. I’ll believe her when the post credits roll and she was not in a flashback
It’s a multiverse film, she could easily come back as alternate universe yelena or maria hill. The phrasing is very specific.
I just assumed she was on some sort of Disney blacklist after the lawsuit.
I actually assume the opposite. I think one of the reasons former CEO Bob Chapek had such a short tenure is because of the lawsuit.
The lawsuit was a massive blunder for Disney. Yes, all corporations are heartless, blah blah blah. However publicly screwing over one of the biggest movie stars? That’s a problem for business. You want the big stars to make deals with Disney, to make deals with Marvel. If you’re willing to screw over Scarlett Johansson, you’re willing to screw over anyone.
In the short term you save a few million bucks.
In the long term you miss out on billions.
They introduced a new “Black Widow” in the latest Captain America movie, so I guess we’ll see her instead?
Lol I just assumed she was in the black widow movie, but I checked and she wasn’t.
Im sure theyd say they’re just bringing fans “fresh (read: cheaper) talent.”
According to the Ruth Bat-Seraph back story, she was A Black Widow, which jibes with what was shown already, as the BW movie makes it clear she was one of several Black Widows.

“She’s dead, Jim.”

“She’s dead, Jim”
- Dr. Leonard McCoyI’ve done the impossible.
Nice! Did you do that through the web page editor, or a third party app editor?
I tried including the text inside of quote formatting, but I still couldn’t get it to work right. This was with the web page editor.
It works everywhere. I simply typed it in. Here’s the source:
I put a normal space after each non-breaking space for a total of 4 spaces. I could have just used 4 non-breaking spaces, I suppose.
The
made the difference.HTML formatting is processed differently than hitting the space bar, apparently.
Thanks!
Yes, the code that converts markdown to HTML is only looking for spaces. If you put four spaces in a row at the start of a line, it’s a code block. If you also add a dash, it’s a second level bulleted list item.
You have to do something to keep the parser from seeing the 4 spaces, and using non-breaking spaces is the best way of doing that.
“She’s dead Jim”
- Dr Leonard McCoyNeeds indentation on the signature line, though. Think the indentation is what screws things up, formatting-wise.
Markdown, you either hit tab once, after the line break, or you use spaces.
I favor 4 spaces to indent, since I mostly type on-screen nowadays, so the habit carries over even when I’m not. But some prefer a 5 space indent.
It doesn’t help that not every app handles markdown right, vs browser use.
Once I got used to using markdown on reddit years ago, I found I prefer it over a more standard word processing program, so I even use markor for writing full chapters now, and just convert on my laptop when I’m ready to sit down and edit.
I’m using the lemmy.world web site, and their web-based editor doesn’t seem to have a way to switch into markdown mode. Only text entry, and ‘preview’. ??
I tried using a TAB, and the cursor leaves the next field, and moves to the “Select language” dropdown control.
I also tried four spaces, but it ran the two lines together like one line: “She’s dead, Jim.” - Dr. Leonard McCoy
Ahhh, yeah, you can’t tab like that, I forgot.
You gotta do a line break. If you hit enter once (enter) You get this.
If you hit enter twice (enter enter)
You get this.
But, if you end your sentence, apply three spaces and then enter, (space space space, enter)
You get this.To indent the second line of that: But, if you end your sentence, apply three spaces and then enter, (space space space, enter)
(Put your spaces here) You get this.Appreciate the help, truly. Unfortunately that didn’t work either.
I was able to get a space line between the first and second sentence.
The indentation “kind of” worked, in that it didn’t show a minus/dash but instead a degree circle symbol, then the second line.
But now, the third line, the one that started with “Edit:” that was crossed out was immediately below the second line, I couldn’t get a blank line via the (space space space enter) technique, like I was able to between the first and second line.
Here’s a screenshot of the edit in preview mode …
Weird. I don’t use a browser much for lemmy, guess it’s something to do with their text box.
It works if you don’t use a space

Not sure if the article changed the title but this is the most fluffy interview I’ve ever read. We don’t see an actual Q& A, just the author adding a lot of their own thoughts and a generic response from Johansson.
A quick cameo if the rest of the OG Avengers cameo is still possible.
