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 find it laughable to think this version of Hawkeye never performed state sanctioned killings or whatever
Natasha “I blew up a child” Romanov was a close family friend
Forever liveblogging the AvengersNot only that, but Clint was apparently partial to said child explosion. He's an Accomplice by Inaction to that if nothing else.

Disney100 Marathon | DreamWorks MarathonI think it's usually a Jack of All Trades vs Crippling Overspecialization thing. Bullseye can throw literally anything with lethal accuracy. Hawkeye might be a better shot with a bow, but only with a bow. In general, Bullseye is better.

"All you Fascists bound to lose."Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special Is Required Viewing Before Vol. 3
James Gunn says the upcoming Holiday Special contains information fans will need to know heading into the sequel
Hawkeye and Bullseye had an archery fight in Hawkeye Freefall.
Hawkeye trounced Bullseye.
I'd say that the difference is that everything in Bullseye's hands is a deadly weapon but Hawkeye has spent decades honing his skill at archery, using a bow with a pull strength ludicrously greater than the greatest real world archers.
In Secret Wars, one of the wrecking crew bragged about having bulletproof skin until Hawkeye put an arrow in him. At that range with Hawkeye's bow, arrows hit harder than bullets.
Bullseye's advantage is that he is really down with killing and Hawkeye isn't. Hawkeye's advantage is that its really embarrassing to certain people to get beaten by Hawkeye and Bullseye is one of those people.

Forever liveblogging the AvengersBullseye is more versatile, Hawkeye is more specialized. A fight between them can go either way, depending on the circumstances.

Certified: 48.0% West Asian, 6.5% South Asian, 15.8% North/West European, 15.7% English, 7.4% Balkan, 6.6% ScandinavianI'm hoping that the Guardians Holiday Special will involve the team landing on Groot's homeworld, and feature long non-subtitled pieces of dialogue between the various Groots with no other characters present.
Because I honestly wouldn't put it past them.
Sure, but unless it's Ultimate Hawkeye, I do not see him doing this
Bullseye is pretty insane in this regard.
But yeah, Hawkeye is also quite a good Hand-to-Hand fighter. It just doesn't come up that often.

Forever liveblogging the AvengersUltimate was “grounded” so it gave superpowers to hawkeye and cybernetics to Black Widow
Forever liveblogging the Avengers"Grounded" apparently also means Hank Pym is an actual domestic abuser, lots of cannibalism, and Wolverine secretly watching the Maximoff twins lose their virginities to each other while fucking their mom.
The Ultimate Universe was kinda screwed up. Ultimate Wolverine in particular.

Do we actually know if Linda Cardelini is signed on for the show or not? I don't recall ever hearing that.
