A darkly humorous moment from the Marvel series “Hawkeye.” You have to know the Marvel films to get the joke. This is Hawkeye at a urinal in New York.

Zn,
As for the Marvel meme. It’s funny because Thanos wiped out half of humanity?
Btw, got Disney+ on a special deal. Two dollars for the first month. Have now completed all the main live-action Marvel shows — I think. Loki, Wandavision, Falcon and the Snowman, I mean Winter Soldier. And am up to date with Hawkeye. Enjoyed Loki the most, followed closely by Falcon/WS, with a mixed take on Wandavision. Didn’t like the sitcom premise to start things out, but it picked up with the last few episodes, IMO. Not a big fan of the Hawkeye series so far, as I think Renner drags things down, and they’re misusing the usually wonderful Steinfeld. I don’t know the comics regarding her character, but they’re making her more purposely annoying than super-hero-in-training. But episode three offers up some intriguing possibilities.
Your take?

No it’s darkly funny because one of the heroes who fought and defeated Thanos and restored the people Thanos snapped out of existence, has to read graffiti applauding what Thanos did. It’s like, no matter what you do not everyone is happy.

I like Hawkeye. Personally, I like how Renner is doing it. Remember part of the plot is that Hawkeye was Ronin. So he is coping with his own dark past while also dealing with an earnest, eager young protege. But of course this is all a matter of taste.
I liked Loki too. A lot, in fact. I haven’t see the others.
I was looking forward to a nice discussion of Hawkeye.
Once again, I am a broken and disppointed man.

I liked the introduction of the new Black Widow from the movie, and, before that, Kate’s attempt to help Hawkeye have a decent holiday time away from his family. Obviously, quite the contrast. But it worked for me. Knowing why BW wants to kill Hawkeye is key.
Some more details.
I think Vera Farmiga, who plays Kate’s mother (Eleanor) is a tremendous actress.
Notice that in one scene in Kate’s aunt’s apartment, Clint is drinking from a coffee cup which says “Thanos was right” on it.
The woman who plays Maya aka Echo is Alaqua Cox. The character Maya is of course a Native American and deaf, so she signs prolifically. Well Alaqua Cox is actually a deaf Native American. “Hawkeye” is her first acting gig ever. What a find she is, she totally steals the camera when she’s in a scene. Clip below.
It is interesting that the blonde Black Widow, Yelena, seems to know who Kate is and spares her. She even non-verbally communicates with her. So Yelena appears to know who Kate is and we don’t know yet, of course, how or why that is. Clip below.
