Hawkeye
2021 · TV series · 1 season
Created by Jonathan Igla
Former Avenger Clint Barton has a seemingly simple mission: get back to his family for Christmas. Possible? Maybe with the help of Kate Bishop, a 22-year-old archer with dreams of becoming a superhero. The two are forced to work together when a presence from Barton’s past threatens to derail far more than the festive spirit.

You're basically describing the structure of the most popular manga and anime genre in the world, and some of the top sellers in that genre have been able to keep the power scaling up for years if not decades. It isn't a problem if you do it right.
Also few superhero movies that I'm aware of actually follow that format. Even the long runners like Superman and Batman tend to only focus on one or a few familiar villains and essentially rehashing their hero's origin story every time, and in the MCU Thanos was always in the background, but the heroes themselves consisted of wizards and demigods. And Hawkeye was also there.
Batman beating Superman in any universe is just stupid, I'll grant you that much. I don't care how much prep time you have, you're not defeating a being that can bench press the moon and slice cities in half with eye lasers like Ramiel in NGE. And you're literally just a rich asshole dressed like a bat.
Huh, I've personally enjoyed most everything up to Phase 4. The Phase 4 movies (other than Black Widow) have been pretty meh in my opinion. The Phase 4 tv shows have been pretty good, except for the fact that they mostly seem like build up for something else. I really enjoyed Hawkeye and I think Moon Knight is my other fav from this.
Agree. Dolby Atmos releases tend to have a lot of noisy background sounds all around you, and then people silently mumble on the center channel. My English is really good, but some movies are still difficult to watch without subtitles. For example, Hawkeye jumped in between "painfully loud effects" and "barely audible dialog".
> All the old television networks, Netflix, Amazon, Disney, Apple, and others are pumping out more mediocre
This is a subjective statement. You might even dislike shows on a particular service, but to say all of them are “objectively bad” and you think people watch more of “90s sitcoms” tells me that you probably prefer 90s sitcoms. :)
I’m basically cycling between these providers each month. The Expanse, The Morning Show, Hawkeye, Succession, For All Mankind.
Last year was the most television I’ve watched since I was a kid.
