First ep of Hawkeye is quite different in tone to the other shows. Quite jaunty and YA, especially with the Christmas stuff, old fashioned score and silly thugs.
Is this a thing from the comic? Them saying bro all the time sounds really dumb in live action.
Yeah the Matt Fraction run, which this looks to be adapting / cherry picking from.
Really hoping Skepta and JME appear in this, like how Ghostface and Meth appeared in Luke Cage
The four volumes of the Fraction/Aja run are on sale on Comixology just now for less than 8 quid all in btw
My Life As A Weapon is actually yer daâs autobiography
I generally enjoyed that.
First episode felt a bit rushed like âWhat are all these swords here?â stuff and yet she seemed to know who Jack was etc.
Still, I enjoyed the second episode a lot more. Not entirely feeling Kate Bishopâs character yet - I get that sheâs a gymnast, archer and fencer at least but nothing in that really says âgood at fightingâ in a way that makes what we see quite hang together.
Did in enjoy the âtracksuit mafiaâ line about it being âa bit on the noseâ though.
I think it was mentioned she got her black belt when she was 15.
Yeah true. I still donât think thatâs necessarily something that sets you up for pure thugs though. Itâs all very controlled stuff sheâs presumably been up against?
She completed Streets of Rage and Double Dragon when she was 15.
i mean⌠what is Hawkeyeâs backstory? this is basically no different to a load of Marvel characters
why did my posts not get copied across
anyway i watched episode 2 as well last night, really love the tone of it, think Hailee Stanfield is great, not sure Iâve ever seen her before
the cliffhanger at the end of episode 2 made me really annoyed that i have to wait a week now, which is always a good sign
I dunno, I donât read the comics
Ha someone just reminded me of the Katniss Everdeen bit in Times Square
Yeah, this is the best one so far. Good street-level stuff. Like the Netflix ones before they went shit but slightly better because they are legally allowed to acknowledge The Avengers etc. Does any one have strong thoughts on Rogers: The Musical by the way?
Canât wait for Florence Pugh to turn up
So accurately pastiches a shit musical it was utterly painful to watch. We feel the same way Hawkeye does for every moment which, I guess, is the point.
I donât know anything about comics so I came in here excitedly to read about the computer vision system used in various sports finally getting its own star vehicle, pretty disappointed tbh
Is echoâs father the police officer from Reservation Dogs?
