6.2: Your Problem Is Branding (Hawkeye S1E02)

A little girl in a ninja costume stole my Christmas. This week TK is joined by pop-culture scholars Christopher Maverick and Hannah Rogers of the VoxPopcast to dig into the big ideas of episode 2 of Hawkeye, "Hide and Seek." Mav and Hannah share their thoughts on what makes an effective MCU miniseries and how Hawkeye has succeeded so far. Then(15:50), we talk about the episode's commentary on branding, fandom, inspiration, and sincerity as we analyze the evolving relationship between Clint and Kate. Also: Mav has pro wrestling experience and Hannah has spent a lot of time thinking and writing about the Victorians. You'll have to listen to find out how these things fit into the episode! (Spoilers for Hawkeye and many other MCU projects. Some discussion of the Fraction/Aja Hawkeye comics.)
