Hawkeye Disney+ Series

[ShadowX81]

Well it was built by Obadiah Stane, probably from a box of scraps.

All things considered id feel safer in the cave. lol.

If a light tap with an arrow was enough to literally cause that entire clocktower to instantly collapse id be seriously worried about its structural integrity prior to the events of the first scene.

That scene made zero sense lol

A musical (on ice) is the inevitable future of Disney's Avengers!

 

[jye4ever]

I was surprised how endearing Renner Hawkeye turned out to be away from the Avengers he really has a wholesome charming charisma portraying Hawkeye on the down low.

 

[Wor-Gar]

So this show is good? Come one, really?

So this show is good? Come one, really?

I'll let you know in 4-5 weeks.

It could be like Loki which started with good characters and had a good overall arc, or be like TFAWS which had an amazing opening but ended up like a bug splat.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I didn't like Wanda, WSAF or Loki.

I didn't like Wanda, WSAF or Loki.

It's still different enough from them so yeah it can still go well or not. 2 episodes in though:

1. The characters and their chemistry look good.
2. Love Jeremy's weary Hawkeye
3. Love Hailee's enthusiastic, take on Kate.
4. Neither Kate nor Clint appear to be invincible here. Kate is a good fighter, but is outclassed by Clint. They both still get hurt so it feels more human than a regular superhero (kinda like Daredevil)
5. The show drags in the middle bits. Lots of talking so hopefully that world-building pays off.

They both still get hurt so it feels more human than a regular superhero

This is refreshing.

All shows drag in the middle as they try to save on budget. Open big, end big.

It has its moments, hasn't lost me yet. Renner is the perfect beat-up normal guy Hawkeye, I found the Fraction/Aja book entertaining so it's interesting to see it being interpreted here ... the Tracksuit Mafia are hilarious as always.

All that aside, this feels very much like a cross between a typical Disney show and maybe a Joss Whedon project from the 90s. I get that it's not supposed to be epic or comic-book styled like early-middle MCU, but the tonal shift is obvious and looks to be the way forward for Feige and company for the foreseeable future. It works here, not sure about elsewhere.

And then having him forget where his precious anti-life equation was located, so he kept conquering worlds trying to locate it again (for 5,000 years!) like some senior citizen wandering the mall parking lot trying to find his car.

Come on. GPS wasn't invented during that time yet. He couldn't bookmark his favorite planet.

 

[jedibear]

Couldn't make it 10 minutes in.
Marvel stopped with Endgame for me.

Enjoy, I'm tapping out.

I’m guessing this is going to be the MCU aesthetics for NYC street level heroes like Blade, DD etc.

TSM in this was really REALLY bad with them standing around in the middle of the street acting like bafoons lol

 

[Neal136]

As a side note, Hawkeye LARPing was pretty fantastic. He was so annoyed with everything.

TSM Poster:

 

[ironwez20]

Why do they need a poster?

 

[e30ernest]

Why do they need a poster?

Why not? It's just for fun I suppose.

 

[choombaz]

Better episode but still inconsistent. The opening is the best part, it almost feels part of the Netflix Marvel universe instead of the MCU. The rest is a lot of fun but very cliched. Some shoddy effects work surprisingly but some decent action.

 

[e30ernest]

This episode was a lot of fun. Went by really quickly. Loving the dynamic between Clint and Kate even more.

 

[choombaz]

Went a bit too quick, what was it just over 30 mins? The first MCU show to completely avoid tags as well, I’m sure it will end up with one or two towards the end of the run.
