I was planning on watching it again next June 14th. Now I don't know what I'll watch on Flag Day.
TheRoguedOne t1_j148yoe wrote
I usually watch the Inhumans on Flag Day and Falcon and the Winter Soldier for Christmas. Hawkeye is more of a Labor day binge.

There's something about Clint that I like about that Hawkeye kind of touched on. Clint is the only Avenger who strikes me as not wanting to be an Avenger. The guy doesn't want to be a superhero. He wants to be an undercover agent. A spy. But now his face is being plastered everywhere. There is even a musical with his likeness in it. And, frankly, he is kind of over it. I can imagine his kids dragging him to see Rogers the Musical and he reluctantly went along to make them happy. Otherwise, he would probably roll his eyes at the idea and never see it.
I want to see more stories of this side of Clint. The reluctant superhero. He would be a good mentor to the Young Avengers. I can see Kate dragging him into the fold, all proud and hero worshiping him and demanding he be their Nick Fury. And Clint sighing and doing so because deep down he is protective of these kids. He wants them to thrive. He wants them to do well.

I think Jeremy Renner is over the role honestly.
inksmudgedhands t1_j14h8sg wrote
I think he's over by how the character has been written before the Hawkeye series. But I think if you would lean more on the spy who doesn't want to be a superhero part, I think it would work. Like I said, Hawkeye, the series, felt like a shot in the arm for the character. We saw how broken he is. And it would be interesting to see more of that side and get to know his backstory.
the_original_Retro t1_j14cmgj wrote
Yeah, I have to agree.
There was a "tiredness" about him in the first episode that I coincidentally watched last night so the memory is fresh. His character not only looked like Hawkeye didn't want to be there, the actor looked like RENNER didn't want to be there.
The parenting scenes at the restaurant were horribly written, woodenly acted and looked out of place. They felt... tired as well.
Maybe this changes in later episodes but the first episode really didn't shine a good light on the Hawkeye actor. I realize he was supposed to be someone that was tiredly dealing with the legacy of his previous actions and not wanting any of the publicity that came with it... but it was almost too genuine as it bled through the whole portrayal.

I think thats just him as an actor, he was the same in that terrible movie The Hurt Locker.
the_original_Retro t1_j14uxfg wrote
I think he has some shining moments.
He was quite good in his Bourne-related role, and he's excellent with banter (that scene with him and Quicksilver in Avengers 2 just makes me chortle every time).
They're just not coming across in this series... or, to be fair, at least not yet.
Fit_Serve726 t1_j14wgyf wrote
Yeah, Its tough to say, Im not sure how far you are into it, or if you have watched it before, but a few better actors come into it, and he is still kind of wooden compared to them. I do need to rewatch it again, but I am in the middle of my annual Band of brothers watching.

Yeah, I think what I like about Hawkeye is when I first saw him on the big screen I was like,”lol who does this fucking guy think he is? He thinks he’s an avenger with his little bow and arrow and karate? Fuck offff!” And then he’s like “yeah I kinda feel the exact same fucking way kill me now” so I’m like “hmm ok fine. I guess ur moves r prety kool”
BuzzHuzzFuzz t1_j1827dm wrote
Which is funny, because in every one of his appearances, he was instrumental in saving the world and without him, Avengers lost lol.
Reptar_here_me_roar t1_j1869wc wrote
Exactly. I actually think they did a great job on his character despite my low expectations

“Quick, we need to churn out an article before the holiday break!”
“Uhhhhh, I know! I’ll write something about how the MCU show set during Christmas is good to rewatch at Christmas”
“Johnson, you genius! Someone’s getting a holiday bonus”
(FR though, I liked Hawkeye but this might be the laziest in a long line of lazy Collider articles)

I actually quite enjoyed this show. It’s rare to have a show centered entirely around Christmas. There’s tons of Christmas themed episodes of shows, or one off specials, but we don’t often get entire seasons of shows focused around this holiday. It was a nice little treat coming back each week for Hawkeye’s continued Christmas misadventures, and there was a sort of charm to how low stakes the story was.
The writing, especially for the villains, wasn’t necessarily the best, and I had some issues with the finale, but the atmosphere and setting really went a long way for my enjoyment of the show. Also, the soundtrack was really good, and Hailee Steinfeld is a great addition to the MCU. Hawkeye isn’t my favorite Marvel show, but I don’t think it’s nearly as bad as some people make it out to be.
the_cardfather t1_j1651sf wrote
I understand why they didn't but I really would have liked it if they had turned the villains up a notch.
trevorda92 t1_j14ixuf wrote
I watched it for the first time this season was really good enjoyed the Hawkeye angle of him just wanting to be out of the spotlight again after many years of big fights along with all the damage he took. Kate was also a really nice addition to the team had a lot of spunk and stubbornness that made her fun.

My girlfriend and I just rewatched it and it's really fantastic. I don't care what anyone says. This was a wonderful series.
rageofreaper t1_j17r6r3 wrote
Totally agree. People on here are so fucking weirdly jaded. Some dude above criticising Renner for playing a Hawkeye who’s sick of this shit to the point he believed the actor felt the same and it’s like…just good acting dumbass.
Anyway I loved it. It was fun, I invested in Kate big time, i though Yelena was fun during her banter and scenes with Kate.

It's a decent show. Re-watching it now and I wouldn't say it's worth the re-watch (my girlfriend didn't see it originally though). It has some fun moments and the cast is really good.

I dropped off it last Christmas & didn’t watch the last 3 episodes, I just watched them the other day, very Christmassy, enjoyable ending. I would be excited to see Florence Pugh starring in her own black widow movie.
Wouldn’t say it’s a definite rewatch but if you’re a fan of Marvel & for some reason didn’t go in on it last year it’s worth a look as a Christmas themed show
dershmoo t1_j18c68j wrote
It’s not a bad show but who would waste their time rewatching it? There is so much new content you could check out instead of rewatching a mediocre show.

Why? Because it happens to take place during Christmas?
I mean, it was a decent show as far as the Disney+ MCU shows go, I guess. It wasn't "omg I have to rewatch this!" levels of good.

Its my favorite show out of the marvel TV series, which is odd because i never liked Clint on screen. I enjoy Hawkeye more than Loki and Wandavision (they're both a close second). The atmosphere and dialogue of Hawkeye really transported me without making it feel like a set or studio which is a major problem these days with movies and tv.
TheDeadlyCat t1_j1894y3 wrote
I like how Clint gets meds, band aids etc. and we get to see the consequences side of all these heroics. Including his hearing aid.
Makes that drop from Nat in Black Widow stand out even more as BS.

It set as Xmas, its cheerful, there's a lovely doggie, Jeremy is badass in it, Hailee is gorgeous and it doesn't feature a slightly awful country song. I'm pointing at you Guardians!!!

I thought this show didn’t get nearly enough love. Everyone that reviews marvel movies and stuff always wants some big bombastic thing with world altering implications but man, this was a nice story focusing on some good characters. I love Clint in this and his relationship with Kate was very fun to see grow.

Lol Stop it Disney bots, go to bed your drunk. This show was so bad, so boring, so fucking uneventful. Please don’t waste your time. I hope this low level, zero effort, and just all around trash writing stops with the next phase. At this point Marvels going the CW route with a Disney level budget. Seriously every marvel Disney+ show besides maybe loki is absolutely trash and embarrassment to what marvel has put out before Disney+ was a thing. It’s totally okay to like or even love these shows but if you go around promoting them and telling people they are great then you my friend are just a fucking lair who can’t admit loves garbage tv.

Hell no. That show is a fucking joke. That ending scene where they are standing in the middle of the ice and all the bad guys have them dead to rights from an elevated position is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen. They’d be dead in less than a second.
A 9 year old with an Airsoft could’ve one-shot them.
