Today on Take the Black, we go over the highs and lows of Marvel’s new Hawkeye show! Plus, another Game of Thrones spinoff goes forward.

Welcome to Take the Black, the only show on the internet where we dare to discuss superhero TV shows. Movies, too. Maybe things that don’t involve superheroes. We’re crazy, we’ll do anything.

But this week is all about superheroes, cause we have Bam Smack Pow editor Michael Patterson on as a guest host, and if there’s one thing he knows, it’s that. He and I talk all about the new Marvel Disney+ series Hawkeye. What works, what doesn’t, how does it stack up to other Marvel shows, and what are Disney’s longterm plans for it? Watch below!

We also talk about the news that HBO is moving ahead with its Tales of Dunk and Egg show, and how it could differentiate itself from Game of Thrones.
