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.

DRAGON DRAGONThere's nothing damn wrong with Hawkeye.
I mean, we see him taking out Chitauri small cruisers (those weird sky boat things) while not even bothering to look and casually chatting with Stark on the radio (he's the one who notes they can't turn worth a damn). I suspect that after Stark, Thor and Hulk doing the heavy lifting, he takes out the most Chitauri by virtue of his accuracy, his range, and the different affects of his arrows.
But because he does't get as much screen time, people decided it was funny to treat him as the useless Avenger, so they are determined to shit on him.
There's nothing wrong with Hawkeye. It's just another stupid meme that caught for no reason.
One Strip! One Strip!In some cases, because people actually missed him.
In other cases, probably just so they can go back to mocking him and keeping up their Hawkeye is useless meme.
But probably mostly because it did seem strange that he just wasn't there.
One Strip! One Strip!![]()

No much a stupid meme but a s natural reaction of no heavy hitters in the avengers, a movie focus in big epic battles with hundred of mooks were they dosent feel they belong, Tony,Thor and Hulk everything, Cap is strategeist and the one who cordinate.

Again confusing is utility with is personality.
Strange? he was in the ship so not strange at all

"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"I mean he has his fans even if he's dunked on a lot. And by the end a lot of that seemed to be less genuine outrage and more Memetic Mutation.
Jeremy Renner isn’t that dynamic or interesting; he got some good moments in Ao U (mostly quipping at Pietro; I didn’t like the family thing) but I didn’t miss him in the already crowded Infinity War.
I’d much rather get more Cap in Endgame after he got minimal time in Infinity War than uncomfortably Japanese influenced “my family is deaaad” Hawkeye.
I actually loved the family stuff, it's some of my favorite stuff from that movie in fact. And also his dynamic with Natasha and Wanda is kind of cool as well.
As for Ronin, it basically just means a warrior without a master, home, or a purpose. That seems to fit Clint well if his family is indeed dead.
We don't even know if he's going to be called that in the film itself. I mean he's called "Hakweye" like once in the first Avengers film (also Selvig calls him "the Hawk" at one point) and you can barely hear it. And he's only referred to by that name a few times in the MCU so far. So it's possible that they're just using the costume as an inspiration, but not necessarily the name.
Also it's a bit different from Cap because being Captain AMERICA is literally built into the identity of his character.

While I also love archery, Ronin!Clint is very clearly a ninja, which several Real Life Ronin became when they gave up searching for a master to serve.
Besides, I don't think the Russos are in any way obligated to get that detail right when Japan rarely does, either.
I feel like they chose the wrong actor for Hawkeye - Renner’s always seemed pretty downbeat - the cool snarker type. We need someone more along the lines of lovable goofball Hawkeye.
Oh God! Natural light!I mean, yeah, but my point was I feel like Hawkeye’s more than just snark - there’s something of an...energy, I suppose, that Renner just doesn’t give to the part.
Oh God! Natural light!

Well, that joke is amazing.
At least they didn’t do the same thing to Scar Jo’s costume....
