Hawkeye

Hawkeyes got nothing but a bad rap for being boring and just a human for almost 10 years on the MCU, we'll finally his own show brings him into his own, it's early days but it's a more grounded comedy-drama with 'hopefully' some good action to come. It looks great, the setting snd characters are immediately familiar and 'Rogers' the Musical needs developing further. 10 out of 10? No chance, 1 out of 10? Grow up and stop trolling.

I have actually enjoyed all the Marvel shows so far and Hawkeye is no different. While it's not the best of the Marvel shows, it's not the worst either and is definitely worth watching. It's only six episodes long so you can binge the entire season pretty fast. Jeremy Renner, Hailee Steinfeld and Florence Pugh all do a fantastic job bringing this series to the MCU. With Renner getting into his tragic accident and maybe not being able to walk normal again this may be the last time we see him as Hawkeye. I hope he's able to play the character again but his health is far more important and I hope he gets better quickly. If you're a Marvel fan then give this a try, I think you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

Starts off good, gets pretty awesome, and finishes with a beastly finale. Some of the supporting characters steal the show. And there is some major acting talent with a multiple great performances, especially by Renner.

The action is mostly well-done, as is the humor. They do a great job of juggling multiple storylines. And there is a surprising amount of emotionally powerful moments.

Oh and if one thing is for sure, the Rogers musical is one of the funniest things ever, trust a bro.

Hawkeye is the epitome of what Marvel shows should be like. There is no storyline changing, world-ending threats and the story is relatively low stakes. The show wasn't very anticipated before its release, with many people opting to watch Spider-Man: No Way Home instead or just skipping the show altogether. However, the show is funny, has an interesting story and introduces new characters without sidelining the old ones. The cast is also excellent, with Hailee Steinfeld, Florence Pugh and Jeremy Renner standing out. The story perfectly mixes new characters such a Hailee Steinfeld's, without ruining the legacy of Jeremy Renner's. However Kingpin was botched in the finale. Overall, Hawkeye is a fun show, with it not being too over the top, and is what all Marvel shows should strive to be!

All the reviews that are 1 or 2 out of 10 are a little overboard in my opinion. Half of them clearly only watched the first 20 minutes of the first episode. I personally believe that Hawkeye delivers exactly what it promises. So many seem to believe that every MCU show or movie has to be at the scale and quality of Endgame now. One review claims that Hawkeye is barely in the show, this is untrue as that just pertains to the first half of the first episode. Another claims that that Kate Bishop should not be skilled in combat or archery but there is an in show explanation for these things. Sometimes I wish that people would actually watch things before they rate them extremely low. I'm not claiming that this is the best MCU show that there is, but I do believe it is definitely not the worst one. To me this show is very refreshing in a time of multiverses colliding and externals protecting the world from universal gods. It has a very simple down to earth approach that reminds us what marvel is about. Not every hero has to spend every day saving the entirety of the universe. Sometimes it's nice to see a hero take on a small group of villains in just one city. I really don't understand how you can hate something that you seen 1/6th of. If you are hesitant about this series because of the negative reviews, don't be. I honestly believe this show is one of the better ones on Disney plus as far as Marvel goes. It reminds me of the pacing and story style of one of the Netflix marvel shows, just not as dark and gritty. As I mentioned before its actually pretty refreshing to watch a marvel story that is of a smaller scale and a bit more lite hearted.
