Hawkeye- Thank you very much for your reaction for this first episode of Hawkeye so far, Mangual!! I am so happy to hear that there is someone else out there who really enjoys Hawkeye like I do. I absolutely love him, and I love Jeremy Renner in this role as Hawkeye/Clint Barton. It's tragic to me how most people who love these movies and their characters, consider Hawkeye to be the weakest of all the Avengers, and some sadly don't even like him at all. Which is really sad, because I absolutely love him!!! To me... The superheroes who don't have any special powers or super strength, are some of my favorite superheroes. And this definitely includes Hawkeye for me too. And I really enjoy this first episode. Mostly for Hawkeye himself, but also because this show is set during Christmastime, and after the events from Avengers: Endgame.
Now... I absolutely love Jeremy Renner as an actor. He's actually one of my all time favorite actors, and Hawkeye is one of my very favorite of the Avengers. For many reasons. So, I was especially excited for this show to come out above all the rest of the Marvel shows on Disney Plus. I love each of the characters we've gotten shows for so far, but so far... I haven't been too impressed by many of them. Falcon and the Winter Soldier is by far the best among them before now, and even still... I didn't like it as much as I hoped I would because of the show's major and minor flaws. Given that I love the characters. Bucky especially. It had its problems for sure. Thankfully, Hawkeye continues to impress me after this first episode.
Clint has been brilliant so far!! :) However, I definitely want to see more focus on him, given that this show is called Hawkeye and not the Kate Bishop Show. I don't feel like we get enough of his character. At least in this first episode. I get that this character is new and needs to be introduced, but more Clint Barton/Hawkeye would be fabulous!
As for Kate Bishop... So far, she's just okay to me. I think she's a little too cocky and trigger happy. And I am never a fan of these kind of characters who really have no place interfering in such dangerous affairs while believing they can beat the bad guys on their own. At least she's more than happy to fight alongside Hawkeye. Nonetheless... I am looking forward to seeing more interaction between her and her hero now that she and Hawkeye have come together.
I love Clint's story arc so far, and I love that we're getting to see his struggles upon losing Natasha, as well as with trying to move on since he helped fight the big war against Thanos, losing his entire family, and from being Ronin. Marvelous!! :)
Thank you once more, dear friend! I can't wait to continue watching your reactions for more Hawkeye!! I've always wished that Hawkeye would get his own movie like Black Widow finally did. Sadly, he's the only one of the original Avengers who don't have his own movie. I have especially hoped we would finally get a backstory about how Clint and Natasha first meet. While this show is set after the events of Avengers: Endgame, I still hope we will learn about his past with Natasha too.
Until next time, my friend... And thank you!
Sincerely,
Heidi
