I read someone on Tumblr talking about how, based in the trailers, it looked like they flipped human disaster Hawkeye to be Kate instead of Clint. Since they are stuck with this version of Clint.
I only watched about the first part of the first episode. Some of the lights were giving me a headache. But im going to try try finish it tomorrow after work maybe. If not my next day off.
I wouldn't say Kate is a human disaster. She's just young and impulsive and trying to figure out this whole hero thing. But Clint is very much in reluctant mentor mode.
ETA: I think Hailee Steinfeld is doing a great job of portraying Kate kind of realizing she's in over her head while still wanting to prove to Clint (and herself) that she can do this.
I really enjoyed the first episode and didn't the second. In fact, I muted it for big portions. But I'm hopeful! I'm torn between feeling like the energy comes way down in every scene with Clint and appreciating that he has ongoing problems due to some serious trauma. I do wish I had a better idea of how long after Endgame this happened. I suppose I could look it up, btu I mean I wish the show gave an idea.
Edited because oh yeah spoiler font and italics are different things!

I read an article the other day that says Hawkeye is set 2 years after Endgame: [link]
Thanks! Also, huh. I would not have guessed that.
Huh, I wouldn’t have guessed that.
Emily I always want to do I for invisible font instead of s for spoiler.
The Tumblr theory person was basing this on the trailers and maybe didn't use the human disaster term but pointed out how they had flipped around some plot points and in some cases had them physically opposite from what was in the comics.
It makes sense considering where both characters are at the start of the series.
I would not be surprised if Clint ends up deciding to retire at the end of the series and Kate takes up the mantle. The Fraction comics were kind of about Clint becoming Hawkeye again (but without displacing Kate who had already been operating as Hawkeye while Clint was "dead.") while this seems like more of a passing of the torch.
We finally watched Shang-Chi tonight, and I have to agree with everyone who said it's really unfair to Simu Liu that he had to star with Tony Leung, because that man can still GET IT. Dang.
I also want like 3 of whatever Morris is.
Loved this week's episode of Hawkeye. Some great dialogue, really good action sequences and some impressive camera work.
