Theory: Untangling the Criminal Web of ‘Hawkeye’

There’s something fishy (or should I say “Fisk-y”) brewing between the lines of the currently ongoing Hawkeye Disney Plus series.

Ever since the latest Morbius trailer dropped, I just can’t stop thinking about the muddled and messy nature of the Sony Marvel universe and I’ve been dying to make some sense of this. So what better way to do that than to pitch my own film that doesn’t even include Morbius (punishment for my frustration), but manages to bring together all

Theory: ‘Hawkeye’ and Presenting the Sins of the Father from Both Sides

Disney Plus and Marvel Studios’ newest series Hawkeye just kicked off last week, and the two-episode premiere was satisfactory.
