Time to revisit a previous topic! Izzy brings in Hawkeye fan Leila Jordan (@galaxyleila) and fellow contributor/StuCo teacher Erin Beasley to check back on Clint Barton, post-Avengers: Endgame. What could we expect from his reported Disney+ show with Kate Bishop? Why the hell did Endgame only show Clint killing people of color? What is up with that mohawk?
