Hawkeye (Disney+ series)
Let's do this, boys and girls!
No matter what may happen to me, just remember Lzzy Hale gave me the bedroom eyes... ...again. |

Definitely interested in the next episode. I don't know if it's the perfect choice but this is great casting for Kate Bishop. It seems a bit rash for her at the beginning of the first episode to come to the conclusion that she should do what she ends up doing but that's comics for you. Jeremy Renner can do this in his sleep at this point and where the character is at this point in his life is completely understandable. The Captain America musical didn't disappoint as it's spectacularly awful in the all the best ways. All in all I'm glad these episodes tackled the few questions that I had. I don't know if this will end up being the best of the Disney+ shows this year but so far, so good.

You only get a taste of it while Clint is watching it with his family but it's so ridiculous and you imagine that the rest of it would also be hilariously bad.

Are they going with a deaf Hawkeye, or did they get rid of that too?

It's not really a spoiler element. He's at the point where he's wearing a hearing aid. They don't specify the cause but he is essentially deaf.

I do like that she kinda sucks as a vigilante except she's still at the very least 'Robin' for no other reason than she really really wants to be a superhero. A lot of her generation are written this way with no real call to action that the archetypical hero tends to have. What's saving her from being a straight up Mary Sue is she takes a surprising amount of bumps to the point of slapstick. And Hackeye is not letting her one up him, the Avenger super spy, on pretty much anything.
The one thing that bothers me is she could be a fairly decent street level vigilante right this moment. I believe there's more to being a superhero than being a really good crossover athlete. The Russians(?) being kinda silly idiots makes me feel bad about the fact that Clint mercilessly slaughtered them during the Snap'd years. Her step father-to-be has rediculous hair and mustache and accent and he just comes off like a terrible Bond villain. I can't believe he's in a 2021 superhero show. It's so over the top there's definitely a swerve there. Hailey Steinfeld is a very pretty white girl. |

Not good at all. The humour is particularly cloying, there’s a really unnatural level of false excitement about it... I don’t know who thought it was necessary to make it, but it sucks. |

Loving the dynamic between Kate and Clint in the newest episode. The origin bit at the beginning might seem a bit cliché but it's kind of touching and answers a lot. Nice touch with the hand. Of course we get the obligatory "Oh, me wearing the actual comic costume would be dumb" bit but the car chase is certainly the highlight.

Yeah the action was good. You kinda forget that Hawkeye is terrifying against regular dudes.
Looks like Hank likes at least one Avenger. |

Finally started watching this (truthfully, forgot it started). I don't give a fuck what any of you say, I'd be interested if they made a full production of "Rogers: The Musical" One-Shot style. SPOILER: show |

It's a balancing act that they're having to do in regards to Kate. If she's going to be mentored then she has to be lacking in areas; but at the same time she has to be worth mentoring. It's not like Clint is going to take one of random fanboy LARPers under his wing. So she has to inexperienced enough while being promising enough.

For some reason, I was compelled to listen to this, then follow it up with "A Man's Gotta Do" from Dr. Horrible.

There's actually a lot to tackle in this episode. I don't know how they're going to wrap this up neatly with just two more episodes to go.

A retroactively powerful motivation for why Natasha did what she did. She most def looked her up after IW. And all her scenes in Endgame are recontextualized.

Netflix shows are not canon. That's that.

Huh...looked it up and they apparently still count the Netflix shows as part of the MCU.

I don't know where you're looking that up but I'm 100% certain based on interviews, various comments, and observation of Disney with their casting - Netflix Defenders saga is not canon. Didn't happen. The only MCU tv show that survived was Peggy Carter. Post Disney+ all the shows are canon.
They will certainly use fan favorite casting like DD and most likely Fisk but there won't be, for instance, mention of Elektra or Bullseye. |

Feige is still speaking as if it's all one banner. The only issue was the waiting period Marvel Studios had to go through after the Netflix deal was up. He's brought up the difficulty of the films referencing the shows because of the scheduling conflicts plus it wouldn't make sense since the shows deal with smaller issues. The shows bring up MCU stuff from time-to-time so I'm going to stick with what Feige is saying.

I also remember Charlie Cox saying he and some of the other Marvel Television actors had obligations to appear in the MCU films if asked. I thought that would have been cool around the time of Civil War, like say Matt Murdock had to defend some anti-registration hero or something.

But we're getting ahead of ourselves. Definitely hoping next week's episode ends 2021 on a high note. The Eternals has really been the only stumbling block for Marvel this year.
