Thor and Hawkeye's story arcs should've been swapped in Endgame
Put Thor on a dark, endless, and bloody warpath throughout the nine realms while Hawkeye becomes a drunken bum.
I enjoyed how each of them reacted differently to their respective tragedies but imo the effects of IW only made them just more extreme versions of what they already were. Thor was already a silly but kinda sad guy in Thor 3 and to an extent IW, and Hawkeye just became an assassin again except now he's more of a rogue agent.
It'd be more poetic if you make Thor a bloodthirsty warrior again like he was in the first Thor movie. His crusade where he's mercilessly killing threats across the realms could also symbolize the psychological torment Thanos has had on him for five years. To Thor, Thanos succeeded because he wasn't proactive enough. Thanos wouldn't have been able to find the stones if Thor found them himself like he said he would, and if Thor went for the head they would've won. By the time of Endgame I picture him always looking for wars to fight as a form of repentance but also his self-inflicted Valhalla. I could even see him being haunted by the ghosts of those he couldn't save.
Meanwhile we get to see a different side of Hawkeye. After all the world ending threats he helped stopped across the films he finally got to retire to be with his family. They're all he cares about so when they turn to dust, instead of becoming a vigilante, he resigns to living a depressed drunken civilian life alone. Because to him, if all his fighting amounted to a worse world, what's the point of continuing to fight at all? He's always been the everyman of the Avengers and it would be interesting to see him really lean into the negative aspects of that persona. His depression could have him outwardly look down on himself as the worst or most useless avenger. That would make his attempted sacrifice for the soul stone more impactful, because it'd be his chance to be the one to actually make the definitive universe-saving act that he knows can't be undone.
It's not exactly like Fraction and Aja's run on Hawkeye but the imagery and tone of that comic could be used to convey Clint's malaise.
TLDR: Thor is the bloodthirsty one and Hawkeye's the drunk funny one
