In a perfect world, the events of the first 10 minutes of Daredevil: Born Again would have taken place as part of another MCU movie or show. After the (already leaked) events that open the show, “Heaven’s Half Hour” jumps a year forward to reintroduce our core characters and new supporting ones. Bringing us back to status quo, only to jump forward to a new reality, and then likely to return back to familiar ground in a couple of episodes does feel unnecessarily messy. If these events had actually occurred a year (or more) ago, and we were left to stew on them in real time, the lose and our new introduction would have had far more dramatic effect. However, despite the glut of content Marvel continues to pour out, and attempts to keep all events connected across the MCU, none of these other shows, or even films, have had the dramatic weight to contain these sequences.

Hawkeye – The Complete First Season

Of all the Disney+ series created for the MCU, Hawkeye is easily my favorite. Casting two likable stars and throwing them together in an odd couple pairing at Christmas with an entire city’s underworld after them provides humor, action, thrills, and tons of fun especially once it also begins to mix in Yelena (Florence Pugh) as well.

Hit-Monkey - Return to Sender

Having returned from Hell (agreeing to help his simian sidekick stay on a murderous path), Bryce (Jason Sudeikis) leads the despondent Hit-Monkey to New York City where he starts making a name for himself. Setting up various characters in the new locale, we get Hit-Monkey being hired by Bryce’s old agent (and taking up residence in Bryce’s apartment). Haruka (Ally Maki) also makes the trek to the West bringing along Bonzai Master‘s sword whose power allows her to survive an attack by a creature who was either a giant tiger or a possessed alley cat (or possibly both). The sword, connecting her to its previous owners, is of obvious interest to someone lurking in the shadows. We also see Bryce’s daughter who it seems, like the sword, will play a role over the course of the season.

Echo - Tuklo

Repercussions of Maya Lopez‘s (Alaqua Cox) recent actions begin to reverberate in “Tuklo” as Vickie (Thomas E. Sullivan) and his idiot white trash friends (Lindsey Moser and Erin Ownbey) attempt to sell Maya to the foot soldiers of the Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio) who arrive in town leading to a shoot-out in the bowling alley. “Tuklo” also brings Maya face-to-face with Bonnie (Devery Jacobs) for the first time in years, and later with the one person she never expected to ever see again. The episode’s title comes from another ancestor (Dannie McCallum) of Maya as the sole female member of the Lighthorsemen. The sequence, framed as an old silent movie, is fun but, as with all of these flashbacks, still feels very disconnected from current events.
