Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

I can't wait until Strange tries that line on Thanos, only to be told that the best offer he can make for that Time Stone is $50.

What is it with the Hawkeye hate? I like Hawkeye! Especially in Civil War when he is all "I retire for five minutes and everything goes to sh..."
I never bought into the notion that Hawkeye or Black Widow for that matter aren't "good enough" to be Avengers. Yes, they are more spies than soldiers, but those abilities can be very useful. And especially Hawkeye provides a more down to earth perspective.
I like MCU Hawkeye.
He's not my favorite but he brings his own unique stuff to the cast
Forever liveblogging the AvengersI actually quite like Hawkeye as well. If anything can be said for Ao U, it definitely fixed him. He's got his own thing going now.
"And when the last law was down and the Devil turned round on you, where would you hide, the laws all being flat?"See none of that is untrue, but that's the kind of shit that will just start the hate again.
One Strip! One Strip!I loved EMH Hawkeye
He was such a good foil for Black Panther and Hulk
Forever liveblogging the Avengers...you...didn't like EMH Hawkeye?
I'm baffled.
One Strip! One Strip!I thought EMH Hawkeye was pretty bland, too. Also, Hot Take: I hated how EMH drew Tony Stark. He looked like he hadn't slept ever and survived solely on coffee. The EMH artstyle in general is pretty on-and-off. Say one thing about Avengers Assemble, it's a much better looking show, even if the writing is much worse.
I won't agree with that
The character designs may look more realistic but they're stiff and bland

I didn't dislike him either. His interaction with Hulk was usually fine, but not fleshed out enough (a general problem with the show, btw). There just wasn't much to him. I guess the problem was partly because the show did rely on the audience having at least some background knowledge about the characters, which made it difficult to fill the blanks for characters like Hawkeye.

I prefer the design of EMH.

Hawkeye's problem is that he's played by Jeremy Renner, who's a black hole devoid of any charisma.

Rob, I've come to bargain.
