I think the main thing is that “hawkeye hasn’t been mentioned as a part of Phase 2 or 3”

I mean he was TECHNICALLY and by a lot of people’s opinions, a supporting character. Did we know Rhodey was coming back is Iron Patriot until last minute? No. it was rumored, but we didn’t know for sure. Did we know Natasha was going to have a big role in Cap 2? Not until it started shooting (that would have a been a good place for hawkguy but that’s beyond the point). Iron Man did great, but that didn’t stop them from replacing Rhodey, because he didn’t have much of a role until the second film. Incredible Hulk did alright, ed norton is a diva and they had to replace him, but not as many people saw hulk as they did Avengers. For all intents and purposes, Ruffalo IS the original hulk. Renner came onto the scene and stole A LOT of people’s hearts, and with such a high profile, important role, I don’t really think it would behoove renner or marvel studios to replace him and frankly I think they know that.

Now the marvel universe if filling up fast, Falcon, Winter Solider, Agent 13, Scarlet Which and and Quicksilver (rumored, though Joss Whedon confirmed a brother/sister duo). But would they really take out something with the potential for SO MUCH? as of now all the issues we have he could possibly deal with are: his relationship with Black Widow, PTSD from Lokiddnapping, Deafness, Loss of his handler Phil Coulson. and that’s just the start. In the comics he leads the Secret Avengers for a while, and his leaving for the west coast avengers is one of huge tipping points in the Civil War series between capsicle and Fe-Man. And Civil War has been hinted at (oh please god no I can’t handle it I cant even handle TWS). 

Do I blame Renner for being peeved with his role in Avengers? No. it wasn’t what he signed up for. Honestly, I was probably as shocked as he was. and I understand that he emotional depth for a flying monkey is pretty nil. but do I think this would stop him from taking up a role where he gets to actually play the character? No. because when he wasn’t being Loki’s plaything, he was a bamf and Renner had a lot of fun with the cast, crew, and his job.

this is just my opinion, but at someone who has been following marvel studios and phase one for years, there have been very few bad decisions on Marvels part. the only one I can think of is Iron Man 3 (and it wasn’t bad. I’m just bitter).

So lets all calm down for a moment. and if they do replace him or cut him out, write some very terse letters to Kevin Feige.

that is all.

Welcome to the Family.

To say I was excited for this movie is a bit of a understatement  I’ve had a count down since the release date was announced two years ago. I’ve hypothesized, done research, and followed news diligently for years for this movie. The Mandarin, Iron Man’s #1 enemy. The intense trailers with destroyed suits. Tony desperate. Pepper Potts being blown through the air. I went to the first showing possible. Excited, anxious, ready to ring in phase two. Marvel’s Avengers Movie-verse has been so well crafted, connected, and written that if it were up to me, I’d have given them every oscar in the past five years.

I was so disappointed. 

Don’t get me wrong. It was a great movie. The plot twist was AMAZING. And that’s probably what disappointed me the most. Ben Kingsley playing the Mandarin was an amazing choice. Breaking racist stereotypes and completely embraced by this incredible actor. I was excited to see him and Tony face off. Especially after all his propaganda films and the extremis suicide bomber. but boom, it’s all a facade for Killian. Which was such a good twist! Incredible! I never saw it coming. but I was excited to see Mandarin and his power rings, his ghengis-khan linage and his bitchin’ly wicked ‘tude face off with SUITLESS TONY!  or suited Tony. or really fucking anyone. but BOOM. he’s nothing. he’s a face for a fresh villain who’s only problem with Tony was essentially being the nerd shoved in the locker in high school and never getting over it.

Next we have Pepper. I understand Pepper Potts’ role in the Iron Man movies, to humanize Tony so they can keep it PG/PG-13 and not bring in the alcoholism and whatnot. She’s good at that. She’s also fucking obnoxious. Any time shit goes down she just flails and yells at Tony and ignores that Happy is head over heels in love with her. but that’s not my problem with her in the movie. So, she gets injected with Extremis. and is a super bad ass. and then, the problem that has been the problem the whole fucking movie (unstable exremis) is resolved in about fifteen seconds of dialogue. not even a shot. and she’s back to being powerless and obnoxious. yay.

then the fucking end. “Oh, JK I dont need the arc reactor.” the plot of two and a half movies just became moot. We are to assume it was the stabilized Extremis that made it possible for them to remove the shrapnel without killing him, but. isn’t tony stark without the arc reactor pretty fucking dull? isn’t that the whole point. This amazingly rich, smart, unbreakable man has one weakness. but take that away and he’s just that dick-bag Bruce Wayne. also that whole looking over the cliff into the sea with the arc reactor was totally a titanic/jewel throwing moment. 

Now there were a lot of great things in the film: Happy (despite being in a coma, his love of Pepper and Tony is endearing), the little kid (I liked him, I know I’m in the minority), Tony having panic attacks, all the cool suits, watching him powerless without JARVIS, that scene with the cable guy, how hot Guy Pearce and RDJ are. but over all I was just really underwhelmed and disappointed and I hope this is just a misstep in Phase Two and not the beginning of a trend.
