Huh not getting notifications from here apparently. Was wondering was there a Marvel discussion thread lmfao.
Hawkeye has its problems not gonna lie. In fact it seems to be a recurring theme of these Disney+ shows. We have 3 episodes of slow character building, which is all good and cool and well written except it's taking up half the show. If it was a 20 episode CW show then sure go ahead but it seems like literally every time (I call it the Disney+ cycle) they inevitably cram a shitton into the 4-5 episodes after a slow starting few episodes where everyone gets hyped af and "yeah! best show!" and then the final episode often feels slightly underwhelming and like it could have delivered more.
This isn't an uncommon criticism, idk why they aren't learning from it.
I would have liked a darker tone and a greater focus on the character of Hawkeye/Ronin just like Black Widow, but I guess it's Disney and I shouldn't expect so. For all I've said though, it's definitely still very enjoyable, just that it seems like everyone else already talked about the good.
Plus I've rewatched the old Spider-Man movies in preparation, and I know it's kinda considered blasphemy, but while they are definitely still classics parts of the Raimi movies didn't age well lmao. Makes you cringe every 5 minutes. I guess it's superhero movies of a bygone era. Still enjoyable though.
