[Movies] The Avengers 2

You know that scene at the end of Avengers, when Loki is defeated, and we see the whole group standing over him? And Hawkeye has his bow drawn and an arrow cocked, pointing it at Loki. GOOD JOB HAWKEYE. That arrow that would have no effect on an asgardian is totally what's convincing him he's defeated. Good thing you're on the ball, otherwise he might try something.
Hey now, even Hawkeye got a good shot at him. Remember? Shot the exploding arrow that Loki caught? Totally tricked that horny bastard.
Also, did any of his shots actually miss. Say what you will about a guy who chooses to take part in a superhero battle with a bow and arrows, but if he doesn't miss a single shot, then he's still a pretty useful part of the team.
He's the Aquaman of the Avengers, except at least Aquaman is a goddamn KING.
I know that Hawkeye doesn't seem to belong in the same league as the god of thunder or an immeasurably powerful rage monster. Strength isn't the point, however. What makes Hawkeye Avenger material is his willingness to put everything on the line. Whether the enemy of the week is Loki, Ultron, Dormammu, or a Skrull invasion, the Avengers can count on Hawkeye to hold the line.
Plus, whenever the Avengers are hit with a spell that removes superpowers then Hawkeye is completely unaffected.

Until the sudden yet inevitable mutant retcon.
Lucky he lives in a movie world, so he pretty much has unlimited arrows as long as the plot does not require him to be out of them. (Same for Black Widow and bullets)
I'm a bit biased in favor of Hawkeye, because one of the first comics I read was Solo Avengers #3, in which Hawkeye faces off against Batroc's Brigade in Paris. Batroc the Leaper, Machete, and Zaran the Weapon Master ambushed him, and he came out on top. Battered and exhausted, but victorious. Granted, they're all low-level super villains, but still, 3 on 1 odds.
To me, Hawkeye is still pretty badass because despite not being clad in hyper-advanced power armor, or being a chemically augmented super soldier, or a rage-powered monster, he's there every step of the way with them.

A few days ago, I realized I was going to be over-seas for opening night, which means I'll have a wait an extra week to see the movie. (And dodge spoilers.) 
But then I found out it opens in Taiwan a week before the US!
(Now I just have to figure out which relative we can leave Li'l Z with for a few hours...)

@bhamv3 obviously. He's totally safe around children!A few days ago, I realized I was going to be over-seas for opening night, which means I'll have a wait an extra week to see the movie. (And dodge spoilers.)

Yes, because I want my 2-year-old to explain to me the ins and outs of 4chan.
Well, he'd have the right mentality...
I saw that there will be (credits)
no end of end of credits scene but a middle of credits scene.
/co/ is a surprisingly good board lately, and weirdly enough /v/ can be a good time if you're on it late-night. Daytime /v/ is still pretty much a shithole.
I still enjoy the /v/ musicals whenever they put them out. They are always a lot of fun, even if they can be completely mean spirited sometimes.
But yeah, 8chan is where most of the "real" shit goes down these days.

The only way I am going to get to see this in theater is either:
1. Skipping work while the kiddo is in daycare
2. Taking said kiddo and ruining the flick for all
3. Waiting until it is re-released for its 20 yr anniversary
I think I am going to try #2.

J/K, relax
Actually, I'm heading back into the army for the week it's released here.
Given the choice between army life and babysitting Lil' Z, I'd choose babysitting every time. But, well, duty calls.
They can call you back like that, or is this the most creative way to get out of babysitting ever?
Yep, upon completing our national service, we can get called back for one-week refresher courses, up until we're 36 years old I think. Basically, they're afraid we're going to forget how to use our assault rifles.
That's what I'm saying. Some of the best Marvel heroes are non-powered. Hawkeye, Black Widow, Two-Gun Kid, even Rick Jones and the Teen Brigade. They know they're outclassed but they'll charge in regardless. That's what heroes do.
Bats can't seem to lose (his sidekicks do instead) and Joker is basically some kind of immortal Chaos God now, so yeah, I agree. Things got weird and dumb.
doody > duty.
Did Tony forget to build Ultron legs?
