So, Yelena showed up earlier than I had both predicted and hoped, which in an already over-stuffed episode, may signal that the Hawkeye arc is getting a bit too crowded as the series approaches its final two episodes.

Well, here we are again – diving into yet another MCU Disney+ series; this time, dealing with the oft forgotten original Avenger, Hawkeye. I have to admit, much like with Wanda, I was never a huge Hawkeye fan – no offense to Jeremy Renner, but the bow and arrow toting superhero was never prominent enough […]

I was on the “There’s no way they introduce Kang on a Disney+ show!” […]
After many years of waiting Black Widow finally gets her own film. After a year’s delay Black Widow’s film was a great return for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Scarlett Johannson) has gone on the run after the events of Captain America: Civil War. Not only does she have to avoid the American government, […]
The penultimate episode of any season (or even series) is usually the key piece of the story where the show puts all its ducks in a row in preparation for the finale, where all the plot threads will be tied off into a nice little bow and we, the audience, can walk away satisfied with […]
