* CompleteMonster (''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/11613921 Black Widow]]''): [[EvilMentor Madame B.]] is the [[BigBad head]] instructor of the Red Room, a KGB training facility focused on [[{{Tykebomb}} training young girls into becoming remorseless assassins]]. Madame B.'s [[TrainingFromHell training regiment]] includes pitting the girls against each other in combat, implanting false memories and [[TriggerPhrase trigger words]] that'll make them more subservient to their handlers, and lengthy, arduous ballet sessions where the girls are executed if they show any signs of fatigue. She forces her top student [[Characters/MCUBlackWidow Natasha Romanoff]] to scavenge for her own survival supplies out in the bitter cold, and later has her kill her best friend Yelena to prove her obedience. Madame B. demonstrates her students' efficiency by ordering Natasha to murder, in cold blood, a man tied to a chair, and uses another girl's trigger words to force her to kill a [[WouldHurtAChild young boy]]. After their missions, the girls are subjected to periodic mind wipes to make their cover stories convincing. When Natasha shows signs of guilt after causing a hospital fire that killed dozens of children, Madame B. puts her through extensive electroshock therapy to erase her memories of her mission and continues to send her on missions to kill diplomats of foreign countries. Continuing her work in the Red Room long after the end of the UsefulNotes/ColdWar, Madame B. viewed the girls under her care solely as weapons made to only serve their handlers.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: In the original MCU franchise, Sharon Carter was not well liked because her lack of screentime prevented her from establishing a notable personality and presence and so her romantic relationship with Steve came off as [[StrangledByTheRedString rushed and underdeveloped]], making her seem like a SatelliteLoveInterest and a ReplacementScrappy for the well-liked Peggy Carter (which was ironic considering how much of Peggy's character was lifted from Sharon's comic counterpart). This fic series fixes both issues by making her relationship with Steve platonic, giving her more focus in ''Captain America: Ghosts of HYDRA'' and ''Civil War,'' and letting her show [[AdaptationalBadass her fighting prowess]] and her sense of humor. This was intentional on the part of the author, who expressed distaste for how the MCU reduced an awesome character like Sharon to a SatelliteLoveInterest.

* BetterThanCanon: Most readers of ''Age of Ultron: Redux'' state that the fic is a huge improvement over ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron''.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: ''Black Widow'', while intended to be Natasha Romanoff's solo film, is full of material not appropriate for young children. For starters, there's the Red Room's [[WouldHurtAChild treatment]] [[BrainwashedAndCrazy of the girls]] they train [[FilleFatale and]] [[CruelAndUnusualDeath what]] Natasha herself does over the course of her career. It's also much darker and more adult than [[Film/BlackWidow2021 official film adaptation of Black Widow]].
