Hawkeye Scores

Don’t get me wrong, I have seen every film in the Marvel Universe and have enjoyed some more than others. Black Panther and Thor Ragnarok even border on greatness. However, as the stories get bigger and more stars join in on an already impressive line-up, the movies become more like cotton candy, disappearing like wisps of woven sugar shortly after consumption. 
 
Even the latest television offerings on Disney Plus have been, eh, disappointing to say the least. Starting off with the promising, WandaVision and declining with each subsequent incarnation. Thank the stars that Hawkeye arrived in the Big Apple, kids in tow and with a deep yearning to have just to have a normal holiday with his kids before returning home to the Midwest. This series succeeds because it has heart. Not the artificially engineered heart of killing off a beloved character, but by finding an emotion that all of us can identify with and exploiting it in an original and creative way.  I give credit to the writers Katie Mathewson, Tanner Bean and, of course the excellent cast headlined by Jeremy Renner and Haillee Steinfeld. The unique chemistry these two talented actors share will no doubt carry the storyline all the way to a satisfying conclusion.

Bullseye!
