Hawkeye - Disney+ Marvel Show

[mdmost 42999]

Premieres November 24th. Probably another show that really doesn't need to happen and won't be in the same vein as WandaVision and Loki. But it's Marvel so we'll all watch

Spoiler

Based on the post credit from Black Widow, Yelena will show up in this to "get revenge (???)". Eh, more Florence Pugh isn't a bad thing.

First two episodes are streaming. I watched them, and I like it so far. 
 

I like the casting of the guy who plays Lalo on Better Call Saul as the mom’s fiancé/secret villain. He plays a good bad guy who you want to like. 

[Scary Stranger 1714]

C'mon, Bro.  It's pretty good, Bro.

[Radical Larry 28564]

The LARP scene was funny.

And I fought Thanos.

[atomheartbevo 89628]

Watched it.  Really liked it.  Surprised I liked it so much.   The musical was killing me.  

[MissingInAction 25013]

Light hearted fun, although I'm tired of the 120 lb female kicking the shit out of men twice her size trope.

Which is at least better than the middle aged overweight Queen Latifa wrecking shop on the Equalizer.

I need to see more

It is kind of funny.  But then again, I watched shows as a kid where little kids with martial arts were fighting numerous fully grown adults and winning.  

Also funny is how bows have not draw weight, and no one ever tires from shooting them.  Medieval skeletons of archers displayed asymmetry due to the rigors of this profession, but in modern films, every bow has about a 5 lb pull it seems.

I don't know. I feel like Queen Latifah could probably whip my ass. Hailee doesn't stand a chance (although I'd let her).

[NOMAAA 1696]

Thoroughly enjoyed the first two. 

[A-Tex Devil 2446]

Liked it.  Feel like the Track Suit Mafia is stealing liberally from the Chechens on Barry, though.  

[Radical Larry 28564]

Bring NoHo Hank into the MCU.

[atomheartbevo 89628]

 

[ztejas 43411]

What exactly does that spoil? 

[Buzzrock 14903]

I thought it was kind of goofy and boring (seriously, Hawkeye plays LARP instead of just taking the suit?) but I’ll stick with it for a bit.

Goofy you say?  There is probably a petition for this to turn into a full-blown musical  

 

 

[utxmike05 1828]

It was enjoyable but I wasn’t sure what to expect.  Wanda was pretty creative story and Loki was…complicated.  This one just seems like some goofy,action, buddy sitcom on Disney.  I kinda expected something that goes darker and more brutal…but that’s not where it’s headed.

I saw an interview w Renner and he described it as him trying to get home for xmas and stuff keeps delaying him.  

Still in bc Marvel…

They are fairly new - from 2011 or 2012, but it's one of those little groups that most viewers would have never known about.  Marvel does a fairly decent job of bringing in these minor groups/characters.

Just for the record, she is not petite.  Renner is only an inch taller than she is.

She’s beautiful. Relatable. Down to earth. Im glad they cast her. But how much do you think you Steinfeld weighs? 130 max after a Thanksgiving would be my guess. She’s not beating the shit out of 8 Russian guys weighing in well over 1700 pounds. The math just doesn’t work.

I think she's a little bigger than that, but it's a comic book movie, and Black Widow is far worse (Scarlett is only 5-foot-3).

I was actually surprised she was close to Renner's height, because while she may have done other movies, the only other one I've seen her in is True Grit, so I kind of still had that image of her.

Renner has gotten fat and old

[billfromlaketravis 11448]

If Renner is  old and fat, your median Surly poster is dangerously obese and on the verge of death

Superhero movies require a moderate suspension of disbelief.

I was suspending my disbelief until the scene where she ran down the street like Steven Seagal. That ruined it for me.

[Neonmoon 38129]

It’s a superhero show. Jesus . Her character allegedly is a state champion martial artist and expert archer. This isn’t a stretch. 
 

All movies require you to ignore the laws of reality. John Wick doesn’t bruise after 380 punches to the face? Really?

Is this the first time some of yall have seen a fictional movie?  Some of yall need to leave physics, math, science at the door when watching COMIC BOOK SUPERHERO movies.  Sounds like lil kids asking questions. 
 

Sure I wish they cast someone different, but we gotta roll with her being a hawkeye also. 

[utee94 15807]

I would pay all kinds of money to see a full stage production of Rogers: The Musical.

This. 
 

Can we also stop having rich billionaires inventing indestructible suits of armor that give you god powers?

Or gamma radiation make you super strong green man?

Or be a hammer wielding god from an entirely different race of humanoid people?

Or have a teenager who can cling to walls create multiple universes that are connected?

 

It’s a fucking Marvel show. If you can’t suspend belief, don’t watch it.  If the thing that hangs you up is Hailee Stanfield kicking ass, then that says something about you. 

[Js1 85280]

If you’re going into a marvel show expecting it to be realistic, you went in expecting to hate it and wanted your feelings validated so you could score some edgy internet points. 

It’s a fucking TV show on Disney. It’s not a priceless piece of art in the Louvre

Yeah, I'm annoyed at the petite girl kicking Russian dudes asses on my show that involves a guy who expertly shot trick explosive arrows without even looking at aliens that arrived on our planet through a portal created by a stone.

And I love that they made a big production number in Rogers: The Musical called I Could Do This All Day. 🤣

[Bateshorn 9927]

Frankly, if you want to complain about Hailee Steinfeld it’s that she insists on the mediocre music career instead of focusing on Acting where her true gifts lie.

Yes she is supposed to be athletic so just don't show her running and we can keep that charade going. Show a full body shot of her running and you lose all credibility of her being able to kick some 250lb russian dudes ass.

If you survived Tim Robbins obvious inability to throw a baseball n Bull Durham, you’ll live through this.

Nah I checked out, thought it was a stretch to give the most spare Avenger a series to begin with. 

['stache 21797]

Yeah, they should really make the fight scenes more realistic, like other movies where dudes are knocked unconscious by a single punch and the other guy's hand is always fine. And when he takes punches himself, it never knocks him unconscious. At worse, he gets tired then pulls a Hulk Hogan and starts punching other guys unconscious with single blows again. They also need more realistic guns where the bad guys never are within a foot of the hero but the hero hits every bad guy with a single shot.

The rest has been covered. The physics of Stark's suits alone should tell you to suspend belief by just a little bit in this universe.

Tyson Fury does a pretty good imitation of that

['stache 21797]

I watched the first two and really enjoyed it, want to know the details of the bad guy stuff.

[MissingInAction 25013]

I'm all about suspending reality for the sake of entertainment. Just seems Hollywood and marvel in general have been ham fested with it all. For example the "we got this" scene at the end of End Game where all the female characters team up during the battle.  Laughable.
