Good for him, and he’s just asking for his original salary. Pay this man!👏👏👏 Isn’t Hawkeye supposed to be one of the better Marvel Disney+ shows anyway? Watch them come crawling back

I didn't watch it but my understanding is that Hawkeye passed on the torch and he probably was going to be more in the background instead of the star. I don't know the exact parameters but I imagine it would not be as much screen time or physically demanding scenes. Fuck Disney for being a shitty company but I'm not sure if this is 100% attributable to that.

they got in trouble for trying to use AI to replace the actors, they are probably trying constructive dismissal type of thing to get them to leave the industry, and disney can say, we cant find any actors, so we are forced to use AI

[–] MountingSuspicion@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago

How/when did they get in trouble? I didn't hear anything about it and nothing came up immediately after a search. It seems like a huge jump to say that they are going to be forced out of the industry. Additionally, he was still offered millions of dollars. Plenty of people would have jumped at the opportunity.

AI is definitely going to be a problem for the industry but your comment seems like a stretch.

It was campy. Not great, but not terrible. Formulaic but overall okay.

I feel like The Marvels (I think?) ties the ending of Hawkeye with the rest of the MCU.

The best thing about Hawkeye was the Florence Pough (sp?) character. Just pure comedy.

Lmaooo, no. It’s probably the most forgettable one.

[–] shplane@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oof, I dunno, so many are very forgettable

[–] kemsat@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

WandaVision was good. Loki was great. Falcon & TWS was good. Ms Marvel was good. Moon Knight was decent. Agatha All Along was good. What If..? had two decent seasons.

She-Hulk was meh. Hawkeye was meh. Echo was meh.

Secret Invasion was terrible.

Never watched Werewolf By Night.

[–] useyourmainfinger@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Werewolf by night is in the good group..

I don't know man, the competition of shitty marvel tv shows is pretty stiff.
