Reply to comment by TheBlackSwarm in 'Hawkeye' Is the Best MCU Show to Rewatch This Holiday Season by Sisiwakanamaru

Yeah, I have to agree.

There was a "tiredness" about him in the first episode that I coincidentally watched last night so the memory is fresh. His character not only looked like Hawkeye didn't want to be there, the actor looked like RENNER didn't want to be there.

The parenting scenes at the restaurant were horribly written, woodenly acted and looked out of place. They felt... tired as well.

Maybe this changes in later episodes but the first episode really didn't shine a good light on the Hawkeye actor. I realize he was supposed to be someone that was tiredly dealing with the legacy of his previous actions and not wanting any of the publicity that came with it... but it was almost too genuine as it bled through the whole portrayal.

I think thats just him as an actor, he was the same in that terrible movie The Hurt Locker.

I think he has some shining moments.

He was quite good in his Bourne-related role, and he's excellent with banter (that scene with him and Quicksilver in Avengers 2 just makes me chortle every time).

They're just not coming across in this series... or, to be fair, at least not yet.

Yeah, Its tough to say, Im not sure how far you are into it, or if you have watched it before, but a few better actors come into it, and he is still kind of wooden compared to them. I do need to rewatch it again, but I am in the middle of my annual Band of brothers watching.
