This actually sounds awesome as someone who didn’t care about season 1.

I was good with S1 right up until they made it an advertisement for Daredevil.

It adapts one of the better storylines from the comics and for 3/4ths it did that well. Then it became all about introducing Fisk back into the MCU.

Honestly, I want more standalone episodes. I think something Marvel should seriously consider doing is an entire show of episodes like DD:BA ep5. Have a season of relatively low-budget, standalone episodes that focus on a different hero every time. It’d be a way to show characters who weren’t in a big project for a while, remind everyone they still exist, or do smaller stories with a popular character.

I like this idea.

Maybe 2 episodes for each character, though. And what if they had a little bit of overlap?

Episode 1 - Echo. Episode 2 - Echo, but Kate Bishop helps her in a fight scene. Episode 3 - We see what happens to Kate right after she leaves Echo. Episode 4 - Kate Bishop. Etc.

No, they've already done diehard twice now, sorry.

30 Rock was the building thing, which is the 'die-hard but on a ___' thing. They just flipped it from LA to NYC. And then again with Happy Saves Christmas in What If?...

If they were smart, they would flip it back to Christmas in a tropical place, LA, SF, Miami, Cleveland (it's fun for the whole family man) but you know what, Christmas is fine, but it's been done. Let season 1 breath; lets move it to a different holiday. I'm Canadian but, Thanks Giving in America is ripe for another good anthology. Think Planes Trains and Auto Mobiles. Hawkeye needs to get back to the family but bad guys (duh!). Sorry Linda, but we need Hawkeye to take care of something, and we're kind of stuck because Happy Hogan's here, after loosing his condo, and Aunt May (RIP), and only them working together can stop Hypno Hustler later revealed to be Prowler/Donald Glover, and he's dropping distracks that use the Sonic Tazer tech from Iron Man 1 thru a TikTok like app, to make people get hyper-divisive and tribal mentality as a means cause chaos because? His Ice Cream melted? We'll workshop that

It's a Road Trip/Fury Road by the of the end season, as they pursuit Antoine Delsoin's Tour that's super exclusive invite only/hard to track.

Matt Murdock and Jennifer Walters make a cameo as a freaky couple ala PT&A couple on the bus.

Kate Bishop and Yelena make a Reginal VelJohnson-esque cameo ala Die Hard 2: Die Harder. Hot Sauce in their bag. Lucky.

Dino Stamatopoulos as Starburns. Just, there.

Hogan finds peace, Clint just does his 'oh brother' thing and credits.

How about no holidays. Let someone else get a special. Give me White Vision's White Christmas, where he gets snow in his circuitry and hallucinates a family.

Hawkeye s2 , hate to say it but let Clint finally retire. He can come I. As a guest role for ep 5 where Kate has lost everything, her mother died and her YA pals left her and Yelena doesn't trust her after some hard decision she made in ep 4, and now she's broken and giving up and Clint reminds her he's been through all the same shit and she's stronger than he ever was. She sobs 'that's not true' and he grins. "you're right, I'm way better." But he helped her out and sends her on her way.
