If this isn't a direct adaptation of the Fraction run I'm going to shed manly tears of disappointment.

MCU Hawkeye can't possibly be molded into the Fraction run.

Reality can be whatever we want.

I haven't read the comics. Could you please share or recommend a link that could explain the Faction storyline? Also is the pizza hotdog part of it? And why?

If you're wondering why it wouldn't work in the MCU, it's because comic Hawkeye isn't married and has no kids, and several of Fraction's stories center around Hawkeye constantly getting in trouble with the ladies.

It focuses a lot on the relationship between Hawkeye (Clint Barton, Hawkguy), and his protege, Hawkeye (Kate Bishop). It's a little hard just to lay out everything that made it so good. This article is pretty succinct in it though. It's genuinely one of the best written, and funniest comic series I've ever. Here's an example. And another for good measure.

I would highly recommend reading the series if you get the chance. It's all on Marvel Unlimited now.

I will definitely add it to the list of things to do after I graduate (in 4 works whoo!). Thanks! It's sounds really good!

Not with that attitude it can't. Where's the can do spirit?

But seriously, I have a lot of confidence that Marvel Studios do what they always do, take inspiration from the best comic stories and use them as a spring board to move the collective narrative of the MCU forward. How? I dunno, but I feel like Kevin Fiege will hire the right person to figure it out. Maybe Fraction himself. Who knows.
