Okay, in your opinion, how is Nat's ending fundamentally different than Tony's? (besides Nat not getting an on-screen funeral, which I agree was a misstep.)

[sparklywalls]

For me it's just that I felt like she was a notable absentee from the final battle. Like I said, I get why they did what they did. I just didn't really like it because I quite like Nat (I know it's not particularly popular in this fandom given her actress) and yeah they had that pretty cool all-female shot in the final battle. But Nat not being there made me feel a little sad.

And full disclosure: I've never really liked Renner's Hawkeye so that is probably colouring my perception as well.

Oh, okay, I get that, actually. I mean, for the most part I really liked Nat's role in Endgame. But I like Nat too, and a big part of me does wish it had gone differently, for her. I'm gonna miss her in whatever movies come next.

I like Hawkeye well enough, but I also hold the very common opinion that he's easily one of the most forgettable and expendable of the big characters. Personally, I'm of the opinion that the reason Nat was the one to go* was because the writers knew we all thought it was obviously going to be Hawkeye (because he's way more narratively expendable than she is). For that reason, I have to appreciate their choice to have it be her, because it was the more impactful, pull-no-punches choice. But it's still a total bummer, too.

*or was it purely that Scarjo wanted out and they were making the best of it? I haven't looked up whether Scarjo wanted out, so I have no idea.
