Yeah, Ultron basically ruined Natasha as a character.
The Russos work before and after Ultron with her character is what saved it from near destruction. But the whole flashbacks to her origin in Ultron was very awesome for her character I thought. Her inability to have kids and her harsh training was a fascinating addition to her character. But God, that romance was cringy…
Yeah, Winter Soldier and Civil War were highlights, and the backstory stuff in Ultron was cool. Just the romance was so shit.
