Summary

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, I want to make that clear. But since the Black Widow film came out, hell since Avengers Endgame came out, and Natasha Romanoff [Black Widow] lost her life to save the world / return it to normal, the level of HATE that I’ve seen for Clint Barton / Hawkeye [now Ronin?] has been horrific!Natasha was an amazing and complex character, there is no disputing that, she dominated the franchise since her first appearance, and I legitimately cried at her demise. But to say it should have been Clint, and people posting threats to stop watching or making disgusting comments against the writers or Jeremy himself is simply childish. I want to show his qualities and why he deserved to live.

Note

Will give my views on each film, and Hawkeye's part in them.

Chapter 1

April 30, 2025 at 12:20 AM

People have complained about a number of things:
• He’s older than his comic counterpart. -- big deal [!]
• He’s not deaf. -- okay that I can understand as that is a key part of the comic books and would have been amazing representation, but who’s to say it won’t happen further into the franchise??
• He’s human and boring – WTF? So every hero has to be a God, or Super-Soldier or a Billionaire or a science experiment gone wrong [sorry Bruce] to be a hero? F.U. That’s unrealistic.

Clint Barton / Hawkeye is HUMAN and he’s a HERO.

[SPOILERS AHEAD – Will mention all the Marvel films he's in, including mention's from the 2021 film Black Widow] - the 2021 series What If? and the new Marvel show Hawkeye
I cannot believe I have had to resort to writing a story defending the character, but here we are.
Enjoy.
