Hmm, to me, with the emphasis on abuse and mind-control, this quote at least sounds less like they were going with Nat trying to make up for the red in her ledger, and more going for "finally she gets to choose what she does with her life, and she chooses to save the Avengers and the universe."

...The bit about Tony getting a funeral because he's a public figure and Nat not getting one is just weird, when everyone at Tony's funeral has some personal connection to him (they weren't just there because he was rich and famous), and Nat had connections with all the Avengers as we saw all through the movie, and, like, Clint's family loved her? And why couldn't it have been acknowledged that as secret as she tried to live her life, she ended up having so much impact anyway? If the point is that she died for the Avengers, her family, isn't it terrible that they barely are given any opportunity to acknowledge or appreciate that sacrifice?

(also, the "everlasting exchange" thing being why she can't come back makes no sense to me because they LITERALLY BRING THE STONE BACK at the end, that's the whole plan, so...this is apparently a no-cash-returns situation? store credit only??)
