Hawkeye (2021)

This show is freaking amazing. It almost gives me Die Hard vibes in a weird way but less swearing obviously. Kate is a beautiful addition to the MCU roster and I hope she and Yelena get their own show or movie. They bounce off each other so organically and I would watch that all day. This was very grounded and showed that since Hawkeye isn't a supersoldier, god, or alien that he actually gets hurt and has to recover as effectively as possible to be ready for the next fight. Clint and Kate each had a moment in the finale where they were totally dead or at least severely injured but we can let it slide. If you want something Marvel, that is more realistic, this is the show for you. I love it to death and I hope Jeremy has a couple more outings before he officially retires the bow.
