“You can’t please everyone.” It’s common wisdom and true – just ask any director about any famous movie. While you can make something that the vast majority of people will enjoy, there will always be detractors and detractors who will express dissatisfaction. In case if Avengers: Endgamethe second-highest-grossing film of all time, one common complaint recorded by co-director Joe Russo relates to the death of Scarlett Johansson’s aka Black Widow Natasha Romanoff…but he has a special message for those still upset about the hero’s fate: he plays the world’s smallest violin.
Earlier this month, he used Rosso Tik Tok account of his production company, AGBO Films, to record a message for Marvel fans who are still unhappy that Black Widow sacrificed herself in Avengers: Endgame. Three and a half years after the film’s release, it seems like the director is done making any kind of coding response. A sign that reads “I will never forgive you for k!ll!ng Natasha!” He wears a mocking frown while rubbing his middle and index finger with his thumb. You can watch the video below:

That’s a bit blunt — the message was driven home even more with Eminem’s “Stan” as the soundtrack — but it’s understandable at this point. One could imagine Joe Russo recording comments similar to those he puts into quotes every day (an unfortunate aspect of living in the age of social media), and it’s plausible that he might reach a breaking point and put up with it.
He, co-director Anthony Russo, and screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely have made what they feel is an appropriate creative choice with Black Widow in Avengers: Endgame – the character who sacrifices himself to help the titular team’s mission – and he clearly doesn’t really care at this point if you’re not a fan of that call. More specifically, his sympathy for your sadness about it can be recorded with an inaudible and unseen stringed instrument.
Also, if the mention of “raw shots” in the caption piqued your curiosity, the AGBO account provided the video in a follow-up post — which sees Russo silently orienting himself and adjusting both his expression and finger-rubbing:
