* RedemptionEqualsDeath: In a way. She expresses a desire throughout the Infinity Saga to atone for her past and "wipe the red from my ledger" as she puts it. In ''Endgame'' her sacrifice directly allows the reversal of the Decimation and bringing trillions back from the dead, so one can interpret this as her final redemptive act.

Bare Your Midriff is no longer a trope.


* MsFanservice: Downplayed. Being played by Scarlett Johansson meant that she was bound to fall under this trope and her scenes in her first film, ''Iron Man 2'', were so filled with fanservice that some reviewers continued to dismiss her as nothing but eye candy for two or three more films, despite the fact that it was significantly reduced from ''The Avengers'' on. She does get a BareYourMidriff moment in ''The Winter Soldier'', but she quips that the bullet scar on her navel means "bye-bye bikinis". Steve lampshades back "Yeah, I bet you look terrible in them now."
