Hawkeye is the Best Avenger.

Hawkeye seems to get a ton of hate on social media, but he has always been my favourite Avenger. To figure out why is not difficult, we just need to do a rollcall of the original 6 Avengers: A Genius Billionaire Playboy Philanthropist A genetically enhanced super soldier. A god. A genius scientist with “breathtaking … Continue reading Hawkeye is the Best Avenger.

Overthinking It: The Bravest Person in the MCU.

I saw a post on social media the other day, that was asking who the bravest non-hero in the MCU was. The original post suggested that it was the old German man in the first Avengers movie.

I liked it. I am a Journeyman Cabinetmaker, Red Seal Certified; which means that (theoretically) … Continue reading Overthinking it: Tony Stark in Iron Man 2

Overthinking it: Everett Ross in Black Panther

I love Marvel movies. We own them all. In preparation for the release of Avengers: Endgame last year, my wife and I watched 11 Marvel movies, back to back. I've watched all the movies multiple times, and I tend to notice things that only hardcore fans notice; and I tend to (over) think of things … Continue reading Overthinking it: Everett Ross in Black Panther
