It’s become a habit of Marvel Cinematic Universe fans to blow up Twitter after a new TV series or movie premieres. The Disney+ Hawkeye series’ arrival has once again created a big response, as expected by the status of Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton as an original Avenger.
The presence of Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop has boosted the show’s popularity even further, and there are many tweets and memes referring to Hawkeye’s events. Certain other fans have chosen to tweet about heartwarming and even heartbreaking things that are poignant enough to check out as well. It’s a great way to hype up for what is meant to be the MCU’s most grounded-in-reality series as of yet.
Overenthusiastic Protege
Kate didn’t care about the fact that members of the mafia were out to get her, as she saw it as the opportunity to meet her biggest idol. Hawkeye was focused on just getting back to his children but was repeatedly deterred because of Kate’s overenthusiasm to seek out trouble.
This picture of Zendaya and Timothee Chalamet accurately sums up the superhero duo’s dynamic, with Hawkeye basically being done with all of his protegee’s antics. It was the best way to establish their time together for what is going to eventually be a heartwarming relationship.
The Dog Must Be Protected At All Costs
As it turned out, the fan theories about Hawkeye turned out to be true where the introduction of Lucky the Pizza Dog was concerned. The dog had little to nothing to do in the first two episodes, yet has already become a fan-favorite, with audiences desperately wanting him to survive the show’s events.
The stakes are going to be high since the lives of both Kate and Hawkeye are under threat, but Lucky is the factor that will make or break the emotions of viewers. This tweet claims that the person will go on a rampage should the dog ever face a life-threatening scenario.
Heartwarming Callback
The first Avengers movie introduced Black Widow through an interrogation scene where she was in control the whole time. Hawkeye echoed this moment when Clint was captured by the Tracksuit mafia and proceeded to not be intimidated in the slightest.
The person behind this tweet has caught the association and claims that Hawkeye is using Black Widow’s old moves. It would make sense for him to have the same strategy, seeing as the two were trained by S.H.I.E.L.D. and would likely have gone through interrogations such as this before.
Hitting The Feels
The first episode didn’t waste time to remind fans of Hawkeye’s saddest moment in the MCU, as he was taken back to Black Widow’s death when he saw the musical featuring her character. The scene had started off on a funny note with the bizarre dance number before the sudden mood whiplash.
Pretty much everyone would have reacted the way this tweet suggests because there was no indication that the scene was about to take such a dramatic U-turn. At the very least, fans are united with the way they’ve used humor as a way to deal with the sad moment.
Sensing A Pattern Here
A very common aspect of the Phase Four shows and movies has been flashbacks to the heroes’ childhoods, where each one of them has had to face traumatic situations. This tweet couldn’t be more accurate with the way it sums up what every childhood flashback is all about.
It might be a matter of time before this becomes a played-out trope for the MCU, although it had its impact when the loss of Kate’s father was shown. Looks like every superhero in the current generation will have a familial loss in common should they ever meet.
Hawkeye Learned Something From Black Panther
One of the funniest scenes was when an enthusiastic fan had several questions for Hawkeye when he realized it really was him during the LARP game. Many might not have remembered a similar exchange of dialogue between Hawkeye and Black Panther, so this tweet is appreciated.
This time around, it was Hawkeye who didn’t care because he just wanted to get the Ronin suit, much like Black Panther wasn’t entertaining small talk years back. However, Clint did care somewhat, just as T’Challa had, as he made sure to remember the man’s name.
Staying True To Continuity
The Battle of New York featured the hardest-hitting fight scene Hawkeye has been a part of, with his battle against the Chitauri remaining memorable. The Disney+ series used it as the basis for Kate Bishop’s admiration for Hawkeye, as it was shown that she had witnessed the moment.
This tweet reminds fans that WandaVision had also stayed true to continuity earlier in the year when Monica Rambeau’s resurrection from the Snap was depicted exactly when the Hulk had brought everyone back. It goes to show that the MCU always makes sure to tie plotlines together.
Total Scott Lang Move
This tweet features a meme where Hawkeye’s taken to Twitter himself to voice out his disapproval for the Steve Rogers musical. It’s definitely likely that Sam Wilson won’t be a fan, and it's just as possible for Scott Lang to have loved it simply because he was featured.
As Hawkeye had pointed out, Ant-Man wasn't even present for the particular scene that the musical was adapting. However, Scott has always been overenthusiastic about just being included in stuff, so this meme certainly holds true to his characterization.
Loki's Always Forgiven
No matter what Loki might be, his extreme popularity will lead to fans forgiving his evil actions. The Battle of New York was Loki’s doing, which means he’s the reason why Kate Bishop had to grow up without a father. Where fans are concerned, even that doesn’t diminish their love for the trickster god.
According to this tweet, the person wants to send out a message of encouragement to Loki rather than reproach him. Loki only appeared as a speck in the distance when Kate looked outside the wreckage, but that was enough for this fan to praise their favorite villain.
Hawkeye's Getting Too Old For This
Taking the role of a mentor is far from an easy task for Phase Four superheroes, because their proteges just won’t listen. Doctor Strange will have his hands full with Peter Parker’s exploits in the multiverse, while Hawkeye is stuck running after Kate Bishop.
Both cases only came about due to the younger character’s mistakes, meaning the older heroes are running around fixing problems that should never have been their responsibility to begin with. Still, this fan seems to be having a good time, as evidenced by the laughing emoji in their tweet.
