Meh. Wake me up if/when they roll out a version of the old Commodore 64 frenzied-cyborg Hawkeye instead:

BTW, for a game that came out more than thirty years ago, it still blows me away just how impressive its SID music sounds even nowadays:

Thank you. This should be in the OP always!

This looks incredibly fun. Love the Easter egg of the “Rogers” musical. Very much looking forward to this.

I think they are really playing to Jeremy Renner's strengths, one of which is he is a funny bastard. He was criminally underutilized in the first Avengers, only slightly less so in Ultron. He is also a damn fine actor. Looking forward to this one.

Renner would make a good James Bond from what I saw in the trailer.

Haven't watched it yet, but a bump to remind everyone it's available now.

I'm pretty burnt on superhero movies, but i will watch because Hawkeye is one that is not over powered. Maybe.

Hawkeye Pierce was quite a superhero in the 70's and early 80's. And the actor more so since.

I dunno - he's *really* good at firing a bow and arrow.

Crap. I came for Hawkeye and got Nancy Drew, Ninja Girl. Disneyfied.

Hawkeye: making Aquaman feel better about himself since the mid eighties.

Don't sleep on Kate Bishop. She's pretty great.

Smoove_B · Post by **Smoove_B** » Thu Nov 25, 2021 9:41 am

Hawkeye is easily my least-favorite hero from the current list of options, and yet I completely enjoyed the hell out of the first two episodes. I think it was a mix of grumpy/tired Clint getting pulled back into the mix and the actress playing Kate Bishop - she's a perfect foil for his curmudgeonly presence.

Also if you didn't chuckle at the musical, then I don't even know what to say. But the ending to Ep2 was legit funny.

I also didn't know who the character was at the end of Ep2 and let me say:

Spoiler:

EDIT: I forgot to add, it also stars Tony Dalton's mustache. He's awesome in Better Call Saul, and I'm kinda curious to see what they're going to do with him here because he's equally as creepy.

I liked it too. I also like Hailee Steinfeld in pretty much everything so I'm on board with the ninja girl. (If anyone has still not seen the Cohen brothers version of True Grit, go watch that right now).

I was pleasantly surprised at the humor. Renner does a great job as the cranky guy.

I love Jeremy Renner but am pretty Marvelled out beyond Loki. So I was surprised to really enjoy episode one. It's tightly plotted and beautifully shot.

As someone with the first name "Clint" and a tendency to write in caps I have to be *very* careful printing my name out.

I have a real soft spot for archer superheroes. Yes, they make no sense in the world of super-powered demi-gods, but I still love them. Green Arrow, Hawkey, Yondu...hell, my first Champion's character was an archer. So I am all on board for this show. Loved the first two episodes...but Clint sure as hell better make it home for Christmas!

I agree lol!!!

Also I don't think it's a spoiler but I loved the action sequence in episode 3, it was just so much fun.

RE: Episode 3, if my spoiler from above isn't accurate (the person they're CLEARLY teasing), I will be sad.

I'm still trying to process the car chase scene and how they filmed that. That would have been amazing to see in a movie 10 years ago but it's just part of a TV series now.

I might have squealed at the end of last nights episode.

I can’t believe there’s only one episode left to wrap this up. I’m not expecting it, but I wouldn’t be surprised to get a surprise announcement of a 2nd season.

Yeah, that was one heck of a cliffhanger ending last night! Grr.

Comic book Yondu (where I first met him) was an archer. Like with a bow and everything.

hepcat · Post by **hepcat** » Thu Dec 16, 2021 10:26 pm

Yup, Yondu was originally very much a pure archer character. Your knowledge of classic Guardians makes this old comic book nerd’s heart swell. Next you’ll be bringing up Charlie 27.

And I know you’ll be there on day one like me for some Adam Warlock action when the next GotG movie comes out.
