    Well, this looks very different from other Marvel stuff so far. Let’s hope they are committed to breaking their own molds and this doesn’t get Frankensteined by committee like Secret Invasion.

    This looks great, makes me think some of the recent news about reworking the TV series was actually decided a while ago and it’s letting people know the next bit of content will be different?

      I certainly hope so, but I’m not counting on it.

      It’s being dumped in the January dumping ground, dumped all at once (a first for Disney), and is only five episodes.

      With the summer writers strike and the current actors strike there probably wasn’t much they could do.

      That being said five episodes means they’ve probably removed any of the filler, all at once means it’s basically a movie and in January means it has no competition/low expectations.

      I do expect it to be better than what we’ve been getting, but I’ll be amazed if we get something great. I want something great, this looks great, but I’ll be happy enough with better.

    It’s an immediate plot hole if he’s alive. He had absolutely no way to live through Hawkeye.

      There used to be a saying about Marvel Comics: Nobody stays dead except Uncle Ben and Bucky. Then, they brought Bucky back to life.

      No body no death. That scene cuts to a wide shot of a muzzle flash and thats it. Also that trailer made it seem like at least the kingpin scene was a flashback to well before the events of hawkeye.

      That idea was actually taken from the comics. He survived after she shot him in the eye, and now he’s missing it.

      Pretty much no one would be alive in the MCU if it operated on the same logical rules as ours does lol
