Brutasha Fiesta: The Great Implications of Why Natasha is Sad at the End

And now we have reached the final part of Brutasha Fiesta. Yes, this great mini-series was never meant to last. It was only meant to explain certain parts of the ship in the film. So for my blog readers who loathe Brutasha: you're suffering is at an end.

For now...

Anyways, for the final part I will talk about why Natasha is sad at the end of Age of Ultron and why it isn't merely her mourning over Bruce.

While Bruce was put through some revelations of his own, Natasha was getting her psyche delved into also. She was exploring her psyche with her relationship with Bruce just as much as he was. It wasn't easy for her, though she was the stronger member of the relationship.

When she forced Bruce to change into the Hulk at the end, which she did in a different manner near the end of the first Avengers movie, this was also a point where she had to examine herself.

Her sterility was to make her more machine than woman and throughout her life she had lived on the basis of 'love is for children'. Love was something that didn't make missions easier, it just made them more difficult. So to break through that barrier took a lot.
Just for Natasha to play with the idea of liking Bruce as more than just a friend took a lot of courage on her end. She was having to break through a lot of conditioning.

So at the end of the movie it isn't just the fact that she is sad that she has possibly ruined a great relationship with a kind man, it's that she's worrying if she can ever truly change.

Natasha violated Bruce to a very large degree. He said no and she decided, against his will, to make him fight during the mission. She was putting the mission ahead of his desires. And, with a relationship, you need to value your partner's desires as much as your own. You need to find a balance where you both are satisfied.

Did she make the right decision?

From a tactical standpoint, the Hulk was a great asset to the team as a whole. So she made a good tactical decision.

However, that's not the same thing as a moral decision. The moral decision, one a loving human would do, is find another way or discuss it more with Bruce instead of manipulating him.
And, as she made the tactical over the moral decision, she is wondering if she can ever be human. If she can ever love like a human with her whole life standing against her.

It's not just Natasha losing Bruce, it's her losing faith that there's hope for her.
