I would have rated Hawkeye higher if not for a reason I will get back to later. But lets start with my general view on the show.
Its a typical Disney Marvel type show/film, where the stakes are high, but nothing that cant be solved with witty banter and some over the top action scenes.
Its extremely difficult to get emotionally involved in Disney´s Marvel as it often really tone deaf and the characters behave strangely towards the threats of the plot. Is the threat really a threat or a laughing matter? We rarely know in these shows.
But this is typical for Disney´s Marvel. As is the overpowered women punching and kicking men twice their size without any problem. Lots of things doesnt make sense either, like having a LARP group do deadly work for government agents. Etc etc. We are used to that. And so I could have given it 3 or 4 stars for its ATTEMPT at entertaining, if not for one thing.
Disney´s Marvel had to RUIN a non-Disney MArvel character of King -pin.
In Netflix show Daredevil Vincent D'Onofrio played a threatening character of KingPin. We cared and got emotionally involved in characters who felt real with problems and threats that felt real. But then Disney Marvel had to take that character and put it into the Disney Marvel take and make him a punching bag for witty woman.
If only Netflix´s Daredevil knew that one could win over Kingpin by just laughing, joking and denying reality.
And for that I give this show 1 star. Cuz they couldn't just keep to their own stupid show, that had to "ruin" other better shows and better characters.
I hoped they would import Kingpin with some love and care. I hoped this could make Disney´s Marvel more ground-based again (they were once, you know. Disneys Marvel felt more real, with real stakes and issues once).
But instead of making Disney´s Marvel more real, they made KingPin more Disney Marvel. But the best part is that we learn why Disney´s Marvel is bad, by being forved to compare it with other better shows and narrative styles.
