Hawkeye surprised me with its Disability Representation. It gets across a message we rarely see in media representation of disability. So let's take a look at how common portrayals and what Hawkeye gets right that many don't.
I also recommend watching this video by Jessica Kellgreen-Fozard (who is Deaf and Disabled and just awesome):
