Hawkeye Disney+ Series

[a-dev]

Black Widow was apparently the only one to know Ronin was Hawkeye, so he’s just some mysterious vigilante.

So he has three identities. CLINT Barton, Hawkeye for family friendly vigilantism and Ronin for the hardcore stuff where he just has to kill every mutha****a in the room, accept no substitutes

Yep. I’m not familiar with the Ronin character in the comics either, so it may be more complex than that.

Speaking of comic stuff, did Barton wear a hearing aid in the books?

Again showing my comics ignorance but this show is the first time I've ever been aware of him having a hearing issue.

This LOL. Until I'm ready to settle down, I like girls around the 21-22 year old mark. I'm 35, my friend is 21. It's fun, I'll enjoy it while it lasts

I had a 20-year old gf when I was 32 and it was fun while it lasted, but having that as a reference point (along with some other younger girlfriends over the years) I still prefer women in their 40s and I'm not so much the marrying kind (so far anyway), so 'settling down' isn't really a consideration. My criteria are fitness/healthy lifestyle, self-awareness/intellect, and a bunch of things I won't say on a site kids can read.

Florence Pugh, by way of somewhat staying on topic, is with Zach Braff who's in his mid forties. She felt compelled to defend that on social media. There's quite a lot of anti-age gap sentiment out there. I've seen Leonardo DiCaprio called a ''child groomer'' because he still dates girls in their twenties. Bit hyperbolic, and not really crediting the women with very much agency of their own which is what Florence took umbrage to in a video I saw somewhere.

It's a complex issue and the mob wants a blanket ruling.

When I was 32 I was an ***** and a good match for my 20 year old girlfriend; I treated her with decency and met her parents, etc etc.

At 48 I wouldn't date a woman in her 20s because no matter how accomplished or smart she is, there's an experiential and emotional/intellectual gap that usually results in some disproportionate imbalances, and of course reality sinks in wherein you have to question (cynically) what each party in the relationship is after due to those imbalanced power dynamics. Yet I would argue it's not impossible.

The Twitter Mob et al (whoever they are) need to accept that a 20-year old woman has free agency with her mind and body, along with all the risks associated with that. The flip side of the coin is that a 40-something adult has a responsibility to recognize if they're in a position of power over someone and not abuse it. I would argue that Florence Pugh for example, has a significant amount of power and knows exactly what she's doing, age notwithstanding. Add to this a changing world where people live longer and marriage/kids is not everyone's goal nor is it forever.

You can join the military at 18 and be sent to maim and kill other human beings, but you can't have a drink and if you have *** everyone freaks out.

A strange culture we live in, Twitter or no.

If I remember right, yes he did after Kazi stabbed him in the ear with an arrow.

Very well said. At the end of the day, for me, I just wanna have fun! But yeah, the whole military thing is a funny bit - BTDT.

See, I don't even know who Kazi is LOL

I started rewatching the show last night and it's reiterated how much I enjoy it. Gotta say, there really hasn't been any eye-rolling "pandering" moments for me, Hell Clint even said "Merry Christmas" to the store clerk when they were getting their med supplies lol.

Kazi is the curly hair guy with Maya. In the comics I think he was the head of the Tracksuits and he was an assassin too. Edit, here you go:

Damn! And duh, I guess I didn't pay enough attention to the Tracksuit guy to grab his name.

With the inclusion of Kingpin and the announcement DD is carrying over to the MCU, has there been any talk of The Punisher making his way there too?

 

[guyver1]

Usually Hailee always seems like the youngest member starring as a cast member of a film or show with people much older than her …so to see Florence play opposite her ( who is the same age ) is nice to see for a change .

They have great chemistry working together

 

[guyver1]

I wonder does the world know that Thor just left the planet . The plaque scene was kind of surreal

I hope so but nothing has been said or hinted at that I have seen.

So how did Clint lose some of his hearing ..they haven’t said anything about it yet

 

[The Buffinator]

Lost due to all of the explosions he endured during Avengers, CW, IW, EG, etc..

Didn’t they do a montage of those explosions in an early episode?

I remember the montage ..I guess I missed that it was referring to his hearing …my mistake…I’ll watch it over

Watched the latest episode today, enjoyed it as usual. I didn’t find the fight with Maya to really be a girl power moment or any slight to Hawkeye, he could’ve killed her and didn’t want to, she took advantage of this and caught him off guard - I suppose you could argue that he should’ve been prepared for it. Also couldn’t help but think that Echo is cool, but who the hell was asking for a solo show for her?

Love seeing Kingpin. I’m working my way thru DD Season 3 as I hadn’t watched it yet, and I’m reminded how good this series is. I’m also reminded how I absolutely can’t stand Karen I don’t think there’s a moment this chick isn’t quivering or crying and she looks like she perpetually has a cold and a runny nose.
