* The ''real'' question, it seems to me, is: Where do they find a bank of clouds to hide in that doesn't dissipate for '''20 years'''? Weather systems move! Or does Dreykov have weather technology to produce his own clouds as well? (In which case, wouldn't someone notice over the years that there's a more or less stationary weather system over Russia and get curious?)

[[folder: The sisters' names]]
* Natasha calls her sister Yelena during their escape, suggesting that Yelena went by her real name while they were living in Ohio as children. If the idea was to be undercover Americans, using a name like Yelena that's pretty uncommon in the States wouldn't be the best choice, and she would have been too young when they first got to America to understand the idea of a cover identity. Natasha could have gotten away with using her own name, but why would Yelena still be going by Yelena as a "typical American child" in a "typical American family"?

[[folder: Natasha's tracker]]
* So Natasha's plan to stop Dreykov was to have herself captured, get brought to the Red Room, then activate her tracker so Ross will come chasing after her... except that she left her tracker behind at the train station's restroom to distract Ross's forces while she took a ferry ride in Norway. Did she stop off at 7-Eleven and bought a few extra SHIELD trackers in a deleted scene?

** Important to remember is that the widows are still conscious while being controlled by the Red Room. Yelena would still remember all of the experience and connections she drew upon before being freed.

** She needed to learn how to access his data on the other widows before she killed him. As to after she found out, she was in Dreykov's personal office, where he undoubtedly spends a lot of his time. There's no telling how far she would have to go to be able to shoot him without his pheromones interfering. And it's likely she wanted to feel the personal satisfaction of knocking him around a few times before killing him anyway, after everything he'd done to her and girls like her.

[[folder: Natasha's solution to Dreykov's pheremones]]
* If Dreykov can't be attacked while Natasha can smell him, wouldn't it have been easier (and far less painful) for Natasha to put a clothespin on her nose when confronting him? And if that wasn't enough to block out the scent, couldn't she have just walked 30 feet away out of smell range and then shot him?

** There likely isn't a specific reason why, other than Dreykov being too misogynistic to think there's any reason to tell them. It's possible the proper soldiers he has working for him are in on it, but the widows are just expendable members of his mind-controlled puppet army. With no explicit need for him to tell them, he probably just figured "Why bother?"

[[folder:Why hide Taskmaster's gender?]]
* Yelena refers to Taskmaster as "he", so the Widows don't know that [[SamusIsAGirl Taskmaster is a woman]]. Why? What's the point of hiding it?

** Possibly. Quite likely, even. The MCU does seem to be much more technologically advanced than our own.
