Hawkeye

Did someone new direct or write the last episode. There's this big reveal, and then basically goes to comic relief. There's a big build up then Disney steps in and goes rates G for the last episodes.

Hawkeye by itself might not be at first glance a character to base a show on before so many other choices. However given a large library of comicbook stories, he definitely could be given depth and a good story woven with interesting characters.

This is not really centered around Hawkeye. It is split between too often overreacting Kate, who it sometimes seems finds people suspicious at a drop of a hat, and always tired and worn Clint. Both are very much stereotypical characters here, a semi-grumpy combat worn hero and a tag-along newbie, who marvels at him and annoys him with "witty" quips as they being finding mutual appreciation and respect. Yeah, nothing very original here in any aspect.

Neither is the story. Jack is charismatic and entertaining character played by a good actor however I think we've all seen our share of duplicitous partners and kids who notice things first.

All in all its pretty predictable and all wrapped in a politically correct and woke Disney packaging. It is not bad but neither is it great or original. It is average but I suppose also entertaining for a watch on your couch in these winter months, cuddled under a warm blanket with something to eat or drink, as it gently snows outside.

Hawkeye is the epitome of what Marvel shows should be like. There is no storyline changing, world-ending threats and the story is relatively low stakes. The show wasn't very anticipated before its release, with many people opting to watch Spider-Man: No Way Home instead or just skipping the show altogether. However, the show is funny, has an interesting story and introduces new characters without sidelining the old ones. The cast is also excellent, with Hailee Steinfeld, Florence Pugh and Jeremy Renner standing out. The story perfectly mixes new characters such a Hailee Steinfeld's, without ruining the legacy of Jeremy Renner's. However Kingpin was botched in the finale. Overall, Hawkeye is a fun show, with it not being too over the top, and is what all Marvel shows should strive to be!

First of all, I have to admit I'm a huge fan of the MCU and have enjoyed all the Marvel shows so far so I may be a little biased. I found Hawkeye to be a pretty entertaining show that's been a fantastic addition to Phase 4! I don't get some of these negative reviews though...did you not watch the trailers? Some of you are acting surprised at what you were watching. I don't get it...what were you expecting that you didn't see? If you didn't like this it's because you didn't want to. It's just such a fun ride that you can't turn away because you can't wait to see what happens next. Jeremy Renner is as terrific as always and Hailee Steinfeld and Florence Pugh are both great additions to the MCU. I heard that they plan on doing a season every year set around Christmas and I'm all for it.

Just finished the first two episodes (I seriously dislike episodic releases, I will probably wait until the whole season drops before I watch the rest). Initial impressions - interesting characters, great chemistry between Clint and Kate (they are perfect foils for each other), great fight scenes (they've given Kate the Black Widow's signature move). Lots of action. Lots of fun. Love the dog. Based on the first two episodes, I'm giving this series an 8 (great) out of 10. {Superhero Action Adventure}
