Is not just that she JUMPS OFF A SPEEDING ALIEN VEHICLE HUNDREDS OF FEET ABOVE THE GROUND but that she knows the EXACT MOMENT to make the jump to not only hit the roof (which, at that height and speed is an incredibly small target) but to hit it at a point where she isn\u2019t going to a) immediately crash into a wall or b) be carried by her momentum over the other side and down a gazillion stories to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Natasha had to calculate IN HER HEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF A BATTLE the velocity of the alien vehicle, the size of Stark Tower\u2019s roof, how high she was above it (so she wasn\u2019t so high she\u2019d be killed just by the fall to the roof), how long it would take her to make the jump successfully, what position to hit the roof in to minimize the physical damage, possibly even half a dozen other things. A miscalculation either way\u2014too soon or too late\u2014would\u2019ve killed her.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, when she describes someone genius-level smart in CA:TWS as \u201cslightly smarter than her but only slightly,\u201d she\u2019s NOT KIDDING. Natasha is probably either just as or very nearly as smart as Bruce or Tony or Jane or Betty, her training just meant those smarts were put to use in a different way. And that it\u2019s something she\u2019s trained to manipulate people\u2019s expectations of, just like with her sex. IMO, if Natasha asks to have something explained, it\u2019s not because she doesn\u2019t understand, it\u2019s because she doesn\u2019t want the person she\u2019s asking to KNOW she understands. Because her stock in trade is getting people to underestimate her and then using that against them. And this scene is the proof. Because when no one is watching, she is BRILLIANT.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>stillazarafteralltheseyears: You know what I find truly remarkable about this scene?
