Do Casuals Still Think Hawkeye Sucks?

LOL
I couldn´t stop noticing how he placed the arrows on the bow wrong.

Wrong?! Just as a wizard always arrives exactly when he intends, Hawkeye bends the rules of archery as he pleases! His method is just so advanced that it seems wrong...

And I am perfectly okay with that argument.

A Hawkeye/Black Widow movie with a similar take to the new 007/Bourne movies would work very well in my opinion.

Sorry, but no.
Wrong i wrong.

Do you have any friends who practice archery?

Ask them what´s wrong with this picture, because it´s the same exact mistake he made a couple times in the movie..

Who care about accuracy to real archery though? Come on. The stuff he was doing was stylized archery, comic book archery. I thought Clint was awesome. Loved how he was the eyes and ears of the team in the final battle. And for a guy with a bow and arrow, he kicked some ass.

I would just call it S.H.I.E.L.D. and feature Widow (and her ass, prominently), Hawkeye, Fury, Coulsen and an array of cool cameos (only) by numerous figures, like Stark/Iron Man, Rogers/Cap, Banner (no Hulk) and some surprise characters. People would dig it.

I'm glad Renner/Hawkeye got a lot more face time than originally postulated. I even read a review that he got seriously shortchanged in the finale, but I didn't see it that way.

We already know a character like his and Widow's in a battle with a "cosmic" foe is unrealistic. It isn't the point. It was all about eye candy. Loki catching the arrow and failing to notice the explosive was hilarious.

Yea i loved the way he glanced over to Hawkeye's direction with this smug smirk. Then boom!

[Last1oftheJedi]

I read a lot of stuff about the "crappy bow and arrow guy" and that he has no place in the movie.

Do you still think casuals think hawkeye is useless and bad?

I imagine the movie could only help his image, right?

That being said, I saw a cute Target commerical last night where these kids are dressed as the avengers. You only had the big four (Cap, Thor, Iron Man, and Hulk), so I still think Hawkeye has a way to go before he reaches the status of his team-mates.

His own solo movie (or one where he teams up with Black Widow) would certainly help.

I know. I was making a joke.

My point being is that a movie that is more down to earth starring Widow/Hawkeye/Fury. Marvel should be trying to expand beyond the superhero genre so keeping cameos from the big guns minimal would be a good idea.

Which is what it would be. The cameos in my suggestion would be exactly that — cameos of several minutes that would steal none of the main characters' thunder. Think about it, it's cool.

Doing a Hawkeye movie seems pretty redundant now.

[Flyattractor]

Hawkeye has appeared as a regular in both Avengers cartoons.

Yes. But in the A;EMH He is a fun character. Unlike in the Avengers toon from the 90's. That one was a big jerk.
The guy in the movie was bland and dull. His dumb little move making his bow snap out was hard to watch and pointless. It was like Whedon was screaming 'LOOK HOW BAD ASS HE iS!" at us. And as for feats in the movie. Hawkeyes were the most unlikely to watch. Which sounds realy odd when talking about a movie with Thor,Hulk,and Iron man in it. I would explain more but I can't get the spoiler tags thing to work.

I think Hawkeye is somewhat of an audience surrogate. He and Black Widow are the "Badass Normals" or the group, and they both grounded the movie into a simulacrum of reality. And I thought his character was just fine. He had more depth than most of my limited experience with him in the comics would demonstrate.

[RockinRobin182]

Saw it again today, and again, the audience reacted really well to him.
