Spoilers Hawkeye -Discussion Thread

When they save a big city like New York from alien invasion, I would hope so. That's something you just not notice (even though I like early on in the MCU there were instances where people tried).
It's like when a major league sports team wins a championship. The city goes nuts and top players on the team become local heroes. Like a couple of years ago when the Raptors won the NBA championship, "Kawhi eats here free!" signs were in the windows of almost every restaurant. Now, for saving the city, multiply that x100 for the Avengers.

When Clint and the kids were in the restaurant in the first episode and the waiter said no charge, that totally rang true to me.

I think it's a pretty accurate representation in the show. Clint's profession for most of his life was to be a "ghost." Now he's a celebrity and he doesn't know what to make of it.
 
As someone who doesn't care for Hallmark movies this series has been scratching that cozy Christmas vibe for me.

In a sense, Hawkeye is about a guy who wants to retire to a Hallmark movie, complete with hot cocoa, gingerbread houses, a heartwarming family Christas in a nice house out in the country -- but he's trapped in a superhero action show instead! :)

But, yes, the show is making me nostalgic for Christmas in NYC.

Roger that. It's looking like it's going to be added to my Christmas playlist, beside Die Hard, Home Alone, and Gremlins.
That begs the question, if Alan Rickman played a Marvel villain, which Marvel villain would he play?
A department store Santa who just doesn't seem quite right.

One of my favorite things about the MCU (and Hawkeye has been one of the better examples of it) is how ordinary people react to and talk about superheroes' presence in the world and what they get up to, and I don't mean half-hearted stuff like we frequently saw in the Netflix shows ("the incident," "the green guy"). It makes the world feel more real, like these characters truly inhabit it rather than feeling like they exist in some other world that ordinary people either don't notice or don't pay attention to.

"The green guy" and "the flag guy" are some of the cringiest lines I've ever heard. You realised exactly how "connected" to the MCU those shows were gonna be when you heard that.

(just to say if you didn't care about that kinda stuff fair enough, but they were the ones with all that "it's all connected" marketing stuff going on)
