Marvel Comics: Hawkeye Explained

[@titus2120]

I love your work. I've just retired this past week. I've been a Marvel reader since the 1960's and was lucky enough to see the birth and growth/evolution of so much omg there Marvel Universe. these deep dives into the histories of so many of these characters has been so wonderfully enlightening. I am falling in love with Marvels works again. thank you so very much for your work and commitment.

[@JimmyTurner]

damn most people give characters like 8 minutes max. This shit's longer than a Network TV show. Thanks Rob. thank you for the Content.

Hawkeye is my fav marvel character, and Fractions run was indeed the best~~

[@LuffyBlack]

Yeah his run was amazing

[@davidbrickman2911]

I love hawkeye he is awesome

[@sornchanthrasuwan3697]

I'm glad I'm not alone.

[@sodajerkclassic]

I have always liked Hawkeye and he alongside Captain America are my two favorite Avengers.

[@feralkittyranch7425]

Ok

[@deana3795]

This video is processing for me, but I already want to thank you for this video. Hawkeye is one of the most underrated avengers in my opinion and I hope as the movies progress, we can see him become the true badass he is. I'd love to see his run as Ronin on screen.

[@aaronm8143]

It's happening next month! I'm excited to see him as Ronin, it seems like he will get some good screen time and focus. I'd like to see a movie about him between the snap and endgame. That's if the theories are right about his family vanishing.

[@stoutsprout4297]

Unfortunately it didn't live up to the comics

[@radrno7]

Well... can't say it didn't happen but what a disappointment it was, now they'll just dish out his character for another like it's a Xmas gift. It really sucks to be a Hawkeye fan... [sigh]

[@badfrancis2517]

Hehe Rob says, "financial dire straits" at 26:45 as 'Brothers in arms' plays in the background. Nice.

[@timothyheimbach3260]

my biggest complaint about Fraction's run is that Hawkeye stopped being a character who could stand beside the Avengers. he fealt to much like just a normal guy. I don't mind in concept, but he gets beat up so much.

[@TMac817]

Agreed!

[@justinvorndran6985]

I feel like it made it more real though. By watching him get his ass kicked, it builds a bond with the character, and makes the comic feel gritty, and creates a feeling of him being the underdog.

[@radrno7]

I agree. I could buy it if he was really old and all too busted to defend himself, but getting his ass handed to him by regular thugs? That is NOT Hawkeye, it would be like Captain America getting jumped by school bullies lol

[@ViewtifulBr080]

Hawkeye my favorite Marvel Character

Am I the only Hawkeye Fanboy still coming back to watch this one periodically and now in 2021??? Rob, you are a hero by the way brother much love!!

I just want to thank you again for all you do Rob. Your comic explanations have gotten me through some tough times. I can honestly say your stories have helped me keep my sanity and my life together. keep the stories coming. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

[@AlexanderLairdVlogs]

My favourite Avenger of all time

[@fastgav]

Thank you for giving Hawkeye (Clint) the sorely needed attention he deserves. Hawkeye has been my favorite character ever since I was a little kid, and I think he is overlooked, and underused quite a bit, especially in the MCU where he is has, in my opinion, not been portrayed very well. There is so much to the character, and yet so little is shown about him. I would have loved to see some of his backstory portrayed, and I disliked him being a family man. It unwrites his whole character as being the bad boy rebel that he originally was, especially when he is written in as a lackey of S.H.I.E.L.D.

[@invicta1313]

26:40 -- "Because Marvel had been in financial dire straits"...while the Dire Straits play in background. That's deep cut, man. _Deep._

[@jeffreybrower8000]

Hawkeye in the cinematic MCU is not a strong character. But he was the leader of the west coast avengers. Would be awesome to see that spin off.

[@taylorjudge4506]

Jeffrey Brower I’m praying that it gets a spin-off.

[@jacksonecklund630]

Rob your awesome, I could never see my self watching a 36 min video about Hawkeye till you made one keep up the good work 👍🏼

[@dashfatbastard]

Rob, where do you get this idea of Hawkeye being so wildly in demand on the 60s? Just asking.

Fraction and Aja run was so good. I'm sad the series is over. He made me wanna rock purple Chucks.

[@ProjectV6]

Thanks for doing THIS video, I love Hawkeye and if Marvel Studios had any sense, they might give Clint his own series on Netflix, they could do that well with his family and stuff :-) Thanks for the video, I loved it!

[@sara1coco]

+ProjectV6 there is also the chance that he will, finally, have a major role in the Black Widow movie that will come out soon or later and shine there. Tho, I want him to be recasted and drop the "we are family" act . It doesn't do him any justice and is unfitting and out of place in my opinion and the MCU wasted him. There is much more to him.

[@oldude]

This was absolutely epic... my brain feels like it just experienced a buffet. Thanks dude! do one for Spawn like this. 2 hours long! :)

[@timothyharris1125]

They should make a collaboration with Hawkeye and Gambit (Robin Hood and Friar tuck)

[@georgebarrett2132]

Again, well done Rob. Looks like Fraction did it again and then again. His runs on Hawkeye were another down to earth hero recommendation by the same ladies who navigated me toward his Iron Fist run, so Hawk's also definitely on the wish-list. Hey, would I be over rating if feeling that he may have done what Miller did for MWF and Dark Knight?

[@Khanvicted86]

hey man, really loving your video's, your detail of explanation is great for these stories, I've actually learned new things from you about comic's i read when i was a kid. now I've noticed your video you did on DBZ(ssj levels explained) now i know you have many things planned but if you could bring more of the video's that would be awesome. thanks again for all your work.

Thanks for this video, Rob. Because of this I finally found the reason for Hawkeyes deafness. (Context_ 18:03 - 18:52)

[@LunaticReason]

I like Kate Bishop but having two Hawkeyes bothers me, I really think they should give her the Ronin codename and modify that costume for her.

[@Va1karius]

Clint would be the better Ronin. Due to the fact he is still able to make any weapon into a deadly projectile. Kate could reform the Young Avengers as they are authorized now i believe.

[@lucaslacruz4334]

I hate when they give two characters the same name instead of just making another character it's obviously only done to boost sales by using a more recognizable name

[@destinydude9289]

[@creamy3166]

Rob you have one of the best voices

[@murdocniccals6466]

Yo, I've made a character and I'm going to make an entire series out of it (independently of course). Its name is "Soraku Boido" of the void, it existed before the presence completely barfed out a mess... what a jerk... and takes shape as a humanoid of (in our perception) a black mass that's sorta transparent with eyes, and a slit for a mouth.(kinda like a reverse spiral from Gurren Lagann). He has no mass, no light, no darkness, no atoms, nadda, ziltch, so he's pretty much invulnerable and being such makes him immortal. Although because the presence ruined all of Boido's beautiful, wondrous, perfect, nothingness it's pretty much Hawkeye level. It's inter dimensional, omnipresent (because he already knew that), and reality capable, but can only act in the physical world as his "reverse spiral form". Lazy, unmotivated, and mostly unnoticed by everyone and everything. His "Powers" and "Abilities: Phase abilities Immortality Comedy interdimensional Travel Teleportation Levitation & Flight Sarcasm Void Holes Bilingualism X-Ray Vision Karaoke Void Milk Eggs Bread Juice Cereal Ointme- Organized "It was a lot cooler here when there was nothing here..." ~Soraku Boido
