Oh, is that what happend to Rumlow? I wasn't really following. (His name is Rumlow?!)
I thought that implied that Steve had put it there, but how idk.
I think Natasha is either used enough to make new identities for herself that she enjoys it and how competent she is or so unused to not having her new identities created for her taht she looks forward to expanding her skill set.
His is not a line of work where people survive very long, so the fact that he's that old speaks to how competent he is.
It's a dark movie, but it's not grimdark. For me, grimdark is best exemplified by the quote that originated the term, the tagline for Warhammer 40,000: "IN THE GRIM DARKNESS OF THE FAR FUTURE THERE IS ONLY WAR". Where it works in Warhammer 40k is that it's somewhat tongue in cheek, it's ridiculous and it knows it and that's part of the fun. Unfortunately, that's not the case with the rets of the grimdark works, who are just pointlessly dark, man, dark as a substitute for substance. MCU movies can be quite dark, but they are also hopeful, have something to say and are not dark for the sake of being dark.
