On Target - Marvel’s Hawkeye

We were going to wait until Season 1 ended, but we were so excited about the first two episodes of Marvel’s Hawkeye that we decided we needed to do a special episode about them. Overall, we really enjoyed the opening of the show. Marvel pulled a lot from Matt Fraction’s award winning run of the Hawkeye comic books. We love Hailee Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop and hope that Marvel will be using her to set up the West Coast Avengers. We also enjoyed the introduction of Echo as the big bad, even though she’s associated with Daredevil in the comics, and can’t wait for her spinoff show. And the nodd to Clint’s hearing loss and the use of ASL was also a nice addition. But we would be remiss if we didn’t also point out what we didn’t like. And of course, the giant elephant in the room is just how much of an influence David Aja’s art had on the show and his complete lack of recognition or payment by Disney. Not only did they pull panels directly from the Fraction comics for the promo art and some of the scenes, but also the color schemes, typology and overall feel of the show is directly ripped from Aja’s work. From a storytelling standpoint, what’s up with Clint’s family? In the comics Clint has no family, so the series had to quickly figure out a way to get rid of them. They prove to be nothing more than a plot device, which leads us to think that this is the beginning of the end for Clint Barton in the MCU unless they kill off his family. Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
