You're shitting me. You cannot fucking be serious. You're gonna judge a character by whether or not somehow, some way, another character could have maybe managed to do the same things she did, even if having them do it would be utterly jarring, come out of nowhere, have absolutely no meaning or emotional depth, rely on completely bullshit epiphanies, stretch the characters' shared duties to suspension-of-disbelief-breaking thinness, require buttloads of exposition, leave the plot aimless and stagnant, and not fit into their character arcs at all? Nuh uh.

You know, by your logic Steve didn't "need" to be there at all, because it's remotely possible that one of the others could've taken up leadership duty (no they couldn't, no one could, but you apparently think anyone could've tricked Loki too). Tony didn't need to be there at all because it's remotely possible that Thor could've flown the nuke into space and some SHIELD technician could've talked him through the engine restart (no he couldn't, he was busy and that makes no sense, but apparently you think anyone could have been free to de-brainwash Hawkeye too) -- he could've been chilling in his tower until Loki busted in, killed him, and hijacked the arc reactor. Banner didn't have to be there at all because Tony could have handwaved himself the ability to track the tesseract and Thor could've been the muscle the Hulk provided (no he couldn't, that's too much for him, but apparently according to you, Steve could've somehow gone to close the portal with no backup and no Clint to cover him). Never mind that this kind of shit would cause the whole movie to turn into an unrecognizable mess. And never mind that she was crucial to Hawkeye's entire character too, btw.

Don't make me laugh. No, she wasn't as plot-crucial as Thor. Yes, they could have completely rewritten the plot and reshuffled all the events in the movie so that Black Widow wasn't needed, but if they plucked her right out? Everything would have collapsed on itself, just like everyone would've collapsed if any of the other five, even Hawkeye, were just plucked out. Newsflash: a character doesn't have to be the protagonist to be worthwhile. Nothing whatsoever to do with feminism. I'd be just as pissed if you had deemed any of the other characters pointless, but you wouldn't have, would you?
