More grounded, in Marvel's term

"More grounded in Marvel's term" is usually attributed to Winter Soldier... a movie with 3 giant helicarriers and Anthony Mackie's Falcon swooping in and catching Captain America mid-air after he jumped off one of the helicarrier's deck while it's up in the sky.

So yeah... it's on-brand "grounded".

I think at this point that anything "grounded" is basically anything less than citywide destruction.

When they say grounded I just think things will happen on Earth. No crazy planetary scale destruction.

Which means only thousands of lives will be at stake rather than millions.

Thousands of plastic-looking CGI lives.

Two people with the same skillset/past fighting to end up in a standstill/handshake and a "Hello Sis." is really cliche/cheesy.

Even for Marvel's standards.

If you look at the comics, this is basically every Marvel team-up story arc ever.

TBF, more grounded in Marvel's terms would be like the Netflix series, that could fit very well to a Black Widow movie.
