Hawkeye

i’m rewatching this mainly for yelena, but it just reminded me of how good the whole thing actually is. they finally did clint justice by giving him more depth and made me as a viewer actually care about him and the toll his past has taken on him. his dynamic with kate is so good and it’s genuinely fun to see them have this relationship because we didn’t really get to see this with the other young avengers who aren’t relatives, except for peter with tony (and maybe kamala and carol). this might be one of my favorite mentor and protégée dynamics in the mcu. kate bishop is an amazing character, she’s just so fun and relatable. the way the show showed off the creativity with all the trick arrows was really cool too and they looked sick shooting them. the action was just very inventive.  my absolute favorite part is how this show honored natasha more than the rest of the mcu did. after endgame it felt like everyone was acting like tony was the only one that sacrificed himself and nat got completely sidelined. hawkeye actually dealt with her death. yelena's final scene with clint made me cry so hard. they are both just so ridden with grief over losing her and that whole confrontation felt so raw. kingpin’s return in this felt a bit silly tho. he didn't feel quite as menacing as he used to be and he was only there for his ass to get beat. maya's storyline wrapped up a bit too fast just to set up her spinoff that many (including me) did not watch.
