Meh.  I've always found Renner's Hawkeye to be boring.

Do you have a weird thing when child actors start getting adult roles? It makes me feel like a protective parent. And then I realize that the person I'm dating right now is the same age as Hailee Steinfeld. Then I'm like HAILEE STEINFELD FROM TRUE GRIT?! 

 

There's a weird disconnect. Like I saw Hailee Steinfeld in a movie when she was 9 or whatever, so to me she will always stay a child and that will always gross me out if a movie or show sexualizes her in any way. Meanwhile I'm banging someone her same age but because I didn't meet her until she was older I don't feel gross about it.

 

(She's 24 before anyone has to Google whether I'm a creep)

I'm not nearly as old as him. She still firmly fits in the /2 +7 rule for me. I'm only 31

[Keyser_Soze]

To answer your question, or was it a question? Not it wasn't.

At our age (I'm 34) that seems like a significant age gap. The 20's are very formative, especially 27-29 to me. Not judging, just putting that out there as a thought since I'm 34. Like I can't imagine being with a 24 year old except to have sex with once or whatever, but not like to date and have a relationship with. Again, all good with it though.

I feel like at that level it's all relative to the individual. People mature in different ways at different rates depending on their experiences. It's like I would *never* sleep with a 21 year old. 24 is starting to get like borderline for me, but it really depends on the person. I agree that the late 20s are a significant growth gap in general, and people could definitely throw *mission abort* flags, but I'm not ready to throw every 24-25 year old in the same group.

I'm being honest, I wouldn't feel comfortable in a relationship but I think a one time event or whatever is fine.

I think a D1P poll is in order.

One thing I feel like is a big difference between early 20's vs late 20s/30s is that like... we don't overthink things. All relationships end in heartbreak or death. It's really not worth thinking too much about it. Life moves on. Unless you're dead.

I agree fully with this. Existential issues were put to bed for me at 23. I remember the particular moment. Now at 34, I hardly worry about most things. It's nice. I mean, I worry in that I feel like most things are fucked, but you accept your level of power in the situation better. I see a lot of angry teens and twenty somethings and I fully relate but at the same time I'm like . . . wait until you are in your 30's and realize there's only so much you can do but you still got to slog through life and try to be happy, etc.

All I ever said was that she was beautiful. Nothing creepy about it at all. Would I date a 24 yr old? Absolutely not. Fuck one, sure, wht not.

That looked like a lot of fun to me. Leaning hard into the dad family holidays vibe contrasted with, you know, secret agent Hawkeye stuff, which is what MCU's Hawkeye is all about, and I think Renner sells the dad energy. 

 

I'm in.

[silentbob]

It really has a Home Alone 2 vibe going for it. I liked and hope it doesn’t disappoint me like most of F&WS did. 

[Derek]

I have to say, even after making a bunch of movies and series with character's that have God/God-like/Superhuman powers and abilities, they're still able to really interest me in a guy that has very good aim with a bow and arrow. They know exactly what they're doing and I love it.

Reviews are now coming in of the first two episodes, and seems like it's pretty good! Trailer looked like fun, and it's about time Hawkeye got his due. I'm in, if so.

Hawkeye arrives on Disney+ this week, and even though the show's plot doesn't immediately demand attention, it's a refreshing addition to the MCU.

Isn't it because their servers suck so they release it at a weird time to stagger demand? 

[johnny]

i really liked the first two episodes. hailee steinfeld is great (as she always is) and they got me interested in actually getting to spend some time with hawkeye since he’s just a side guy in everything else. we actually get to see a little bit of what life is like in this world. the russians being called the track suit mafia is fucking hilarious. no idea who the person was at the end and what it means so i expect you guys to fill me in

AV Club is also digging the first two episodes a lot:

I've always been a Hawkeye fan, both in the comics and even the MCU, and it's been annoying how sidelined our street level dad hero with funny mentor comments has been. Looking forward to this.

[Fizzzzle]

I have to say I REALLY enjoyed the first two episodes. It's funny, the action is great, and Jeremy Renner plays a great John McClane.

[TheLeon]

Yeah, this show is a lot of fun right out of the gate. 

[EternallDarkness]

watched it earlier today. Pretty fun, though I have to laugh art Swordman's mustache. Looks like a 70s porn star  

[Jason]

I really liked these first two episodes. Four more, right?

correct

[silentbob]

Just finished watching the episodes and enjoyed. Liked the 2nd episode more then the first. I’m stoned on some Lennon I grew and thought I was going to lose it with the guy doing the CLING sound effects

[Ghost_MH]

That was a lot more fun than I had anticipated. I appreciate the overly professional Hawkeye surrounded by bumbling idiots. I think my favorite bit was...

 

Spoiler

...Tracksuit Mafia guy complaining about how gentrification was limiting their choices for empty warehouses to be creepy in.

 

[SoberChef]

As not only a huge fan of Hawkeye the character, but also of Fraction's stellar run, these first two episodes were pretty damn entertaining! I wasn't aware that Vera Farmiga was in the show, not to mention freaking Tony "Lalo Salamanca" Dalton! Talk about elevating the talent involved immensely. Right from the grip I could tell its a vehicle to more or less pass the torch but that's understandable. I'm just happy to spend more time with Clint & I've always been a big fan of Renner anyways since S.W.A.T. & 28 Weeks Later! I'll look forward to a new episode each of the following four Wednesday's for sure, just hope they stick the (superhero) landing better than the previous 3 shows.
