It's no secret that Joss Whedon likes his hot chicks to be of the "ass kicking" variety in his projects. From River Tam in Firefly to Echo in Dollhouse, the evidence has been in plain sight for years.
But in a recent interview with PopCandy, the Avengers helmer was asked the question we dare only dream about: Who would win in a fight, Buffy Summers or Black Widow? Perhaps to no one's surprise, Whedon described the scene in vivid detail:
"Buffy would go easy at first, but as soon as Natasha popped her with a Widow Sting, she'd start bringing some slayer brawn to the fray. Natasha's fast, but a couple of good connects and she's wobbling, possibly something broken -- she whips out her glock and now Buffy's dodging -- right where Natasha wants her."
"Natasha, struggling to stay conscious, says the fight's over. Buffy agrees, but Natasha explains: She poisoned Buffy hours ago. That waitress that brought her salad...? Natasha smiles. The poison is dormant -- 'til it's activated by adrenaline. Buffy's eyes narrow. 'Too bad I didn't use any.' Wham! Natasha's out for the count, and Buffy's heading -- slowly -- to Willow for a mystical cleanse."
