I've noticed that even after 5 episodes in, there still hasn't been a thread on Marvel's newest show: Hawkeye.
Which, to be fair, probably says a lot about how people feel about it.
I love the concept, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired.
A low-stakes, small-time Christmas adventure, featuring who is probably Marvel's longest running, but least explored superhero. Sounds fun!
Im happy that Clint has finally had some time in the spotlight, and I enjoy how much his life as an Avenger has really impacted his body, with his hearing loss - and his mind, with his constant reflection on the death of Natasha from Endgame.
But im not too sure if Im really clicking with Kate Bishop. I just don't think that Kate and Clint have the best on-screen chemistry, which really sucks, seeing as this show is literally focused on the two of them, together.
Im also really not bothered at all about Maya Lopez, who serves as one of the show's antagonists. She is supposed to be getting her own show (Echo), but Im really not sure how they will pull it off, seeing as she appears to be a mute, and she doesn't (currently) seem to have anything even remotely close to a superpower. All she has is a metal prosthetic foot, daddy issues, and she knows some martial arts.
It says a lot when the first time I was ever really happy with this show, was when they pulled in Florence Pugh for Episode 5, who really breathed some life into this show, and continued to steal every scene that she was in.
As it stands, im mostly only interested to see how the show re-introduces Vincent D'onofrio as Kingpin, who previously appeared in the Netflix's Daredevil as the same character.
As an aside, i've not really been too happy with most of Marvel's attempts at making shows. I was a huge fan of WandaVision, but the rest have been honestly middling at best, with each subsequent show getting progressively worse, with this one being the worst so far.
Its not bad - it is just failing to really leave an impression.
