Hawkeye discussion thread

Martin-O2 — Wed, 24 Nov 2021 17:26:02 GMT

Hey everyone,

Today we have another Marvel TV show hitting Disney+ After the success of Wanda Vision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Loki it's Hawkeye's turn to get the Marvel TV treatment! 😄

I'm a big fan of the Hawkeye character in the MCU and I'm really excited to see how they approach the TV adaptation. From the trailer it looks like the show is set around Christmas with Hawkeye trying to get back to his family for the holiday period but with ghosts from his past getting in the way.

Will you be watching Hawkeye on Disney+ ? Let us know what you think of the first episode below and let's keep the conversation going as the new episodes go live each week. Don't forget to use spoiler tags for the benefit of those who haven't caught up yet. 😉

I'll be watching this, but might leave it a couple of weeks.

Going through the old spiderman films (Toby Maguire and Andrew Garfield), then the Tom Holland ones before watching the new one when it comes out.

On the watch list here too - Wandavision was great, not so enamoured of the Falcon and the Winter Soldier one. Loki was superb, so hope this one is as enthralling.

Same sentiment with those shows. Wandavision (bar the obligatory ending fight scene) was great, Falcon and Winter Soldier fell flat especially in the last episode and has nowhere to go. Loki, very good BUT want more to see where they can go with that universe.

Hawkeye, I'm wary of because he's a bit dull superhero wise but I'll watch it anyway as it may be better than the trailer suggests. Although, doesn't the plot look like a rehash of Plane, Trains & Automobiles and Home Alone and Jingle all the way?

I've liked all of the Marvel TV shows. Am interested to see how they keep it low profile enough he doesn't have to call for help, and where it fits in the time-line of everything else.
