Seriously? Whoever expected Elaine to throat-punch a military leader and take his walkie-talkie away?
Yes, but she’s severely underutilized.
Originally she was supposed to appear in the Black Widow post-credits, but we got her a little early during Falcon & The Winter Soldier.
She also had a brief storyline in Wakanda Forever, but that hasn’t really gone anywhere.
The Black Widow setup gave us a Hawkeye storyline that didn’t really make sense, but it did get Yelana into the main story.
The Falcon & The Winter Soldier story gave us Thunderbolts.
Thunder is finally when she’s really doing things, but that film needed a little more breathing room.
I expect she’ll be wayyyy out of her element during Doomsday/Secret Wars. (Plus no need to be secretive when the world is falling apart.)
I hope she gets a chance to really shine in the future.
I’m sorry, I meant Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, no offense intended.
I think you mean Contessa Selena Allegra de Meyer.
Seriously though, watch Veep, and if you’ve already seen it, watch it again. JL-D could play this level of self-justifying narcissist politician in her sleep.
And yes, she is killing it.
Fair enough! I probably should watch it again this winter - great show. I guess I’m not so much surprised that she can do it, but that she is doing it.
