Hawkeye Is A Christmas Show?

I didn't expect to be excited about a Hawkeye show. I generally am not a fan of the character.

But, I *love* that this is leaning heavily into the Christmas theme! I hope the show keeps that vibe throughout!

Also, "Rogers: The Musical"? YES PLEASE

Kinda getting Die Hard feels from this 😀

Yup. Looks good.

Ew, I don't like Christmas. It's the most *not* wonderful time of the year, IMO. Adam's right about his Die Hard comment. I haven't dived into the Marvel comics, so I didn't know who Kate was until I played Marvel's Avengers. She also goes by "Hawkeye." I thought she was Clint's daughter, but she's simply a fan. They have an interesting relationship, though, or at least I think it's interesting. I like Kate in the game and she looks cool here, too.

I had to pause to see because the clip goes by so quickly, but I noticed a woman in red with black hair and a wine glass at a dinner table. She is Vera Farmiga and was in Godzilla: King of the Monsters. I really like her because she looks like someone I know (there's a bit more to it than that, but I'm just going to keep it simple here).

Thanks for sharing! Now I'm going to go have a Christmas barf.

Lol! Christmas is my favorite time of year, but if it's not yours, I'm really sorry about how long the season lasts!

One minor detail I saw I the trailer that's probably nothing, but in the Rogers musical, it looks like Loki is wearing a mask, and I want it to me a nod to The Mask with Jim Carrey lol

Yeah, sorry to crap on your favorite time, I meant no offense to you. I guess that's part of why I didn't get into it and decided against saying what I wanted to. Funny, too, how I said your comment about Die Hard was right, but I thought Jon posted this, I later realized you did. So many details, so little I've paid attention to.

I only saw Cap in that musical, everything went by so fast. The Mask was awesome!!!! In fact, it was "smokin'!"

After how many candy cane cookies?

LOL Well I do like the fruity ones.

Oh! How could I forget! I do love Nightmare Before Christmas! Also, to be fair to Christmas, there isn't a holiday that I like.

Greg you strike me as someone who would enjoy Halloween :)

And yeah this is interesting. Definitely not what I was expecting from Hawkeye but I'm glad the tone feels very different.

Tonight a Ghost of Christmas past will come to visit you...

Well it better be a Cheerful Ghost or I'm calling the Ghostbusters!

Disney+ never disappoints! Go watch the two episodes they gave us, "bro."

jdodson Admin wrote on 11/25/2021 at 08:50pm

Thanks for the note. Added to my watchlist!

I am really enjoying this! So far the only Marvel show to not 100% connect with me was Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

Azurephile Super Member wrote on 12/09/2021 at 04:50pm

I've liked all these shows. I'm once again at the point where there are two episodes left and I wonder how they're going to answer all my questions. It's exciting.

I don't like the Christmas aspect of the show, but if you're curious as to why it's there, check this out (it has nothing to do with story details, so definitely no spoilers): https://www.gamespot.com/articles/so-why-is-hawkeye-a-christmas-show/1100-6498720/

It should have been an april 1st story! :)

I like the christmas aspect.

Azurephile Super Member wrote on 12/09/2021 at 09:38pm

It does help with the episodic timeline. There are only 6 of these and 2 more. It makes sense, because Clint is trying to get home for Christmas.

Will_Ball Game Mod Super Member wrote on 12/10/2021 at 03:15am

What if he wanted to get home before April 1st so he could pull an epic prank on his wife? I think I am on to something here. 🤣

Hawkeye is the most awesome Christmas ever, along with The Nightmare Before Christmas. Despite my dislike for this holiday season, I absolutely love this show! It has mysteries, a great plot, great action, and surprises! When it comes to Disney+ (and movies for that matter), the MCU does not disappoint. Be sure to stick around for a post-credits scene, it's quite enjoyable. "I can do this all day!"

I don’t know if I’d say Hawkeye is anywhere near my favorite Marvel series, but it absolutely has my favorite finale of any Marvel show.

Which is weird because they’ve all been so satisfying. But this one is SO satisfying. The finale is probably my favorite single episode of any Marvel TV. Well. Disney Plus Marvel TV. The whole Netflix Universe and Agents of SHIELD is something else but it looks like those lines are getting blurred
