So I have watched Hawkeye (while not giving Disney no money, no-no) and yes I can totally see the Charah parallels. A lot of nerd in a hot spot Chuck vibes from Kate and deadly assassin too hot and too cute for this word Sarah vibes from Yelena. But that's where it ends. There's not an ounce of creativity, of heart and depth behind the wholesomenes and hijinks. It's just another bland trite same cliché story we've seen a 1000 times from superheros or even just heroic stories in general. And I'm just thinking... were marvel to give some people as creative as Josh Schwartz and Co. the freedom and funding to make something great... Damn, what a show we could have had! This is just another proof the the good things in the MCU like Wandavision are lightning in a bottle, coincidentally happening despite the marvel conveyer machinery not because of it.
Oh, 100%. Marvel made one (semi) good thing and it was in spite of them not because of them lol. Trust me, I know. For a fact. I'll just say that much.
But also...
There is not ONE difference between these two photos. Not one. Same people jksfhgsjkdfghj And I hate the person who pointed out that they're the same because it makes so much fucking sense why I love Kate and Yelena so much. 15 years later and Charah is still one of my OTPs so we're in it for the long haul with these new losers too lads!
