I felt like I should have liked Troy as Hawkeye, and Hawkeye had a few good episodes in AA, but overall it just never did it for me at all.
Pasdar actually did grow on me, especially compared to Mick Wingert who replaced him.
His voice kind of reminds me of Scott Porter.
Fun fact: I saw Avengers Assemble first and actually liked it because I thought it was quite funny but it suffered from being too samey the more I watched.
I don't think I checked EMH until someone here recommended it to me and AA definitely suffers from the fact that I got to see a better version of it.
I still don't hate it: in fact I believe the avengers game should have pulled more from there than from the MCU.
Oh I know
Tbh I don't really know 99,9% of VA's by name. Laura Bailey is an exception because she single handedly made the saints if row games she was part of better.

I would've said it should have pulled more from EMH. AA pulled enough from the MCU as is.
Laura's great. Not my favorite Black Widow voice, but still great.Tbh I don't really know 99,9% of VA's by name. Laura Bailey is an exception because she single handedly made the saints if row games she was part of better.
Yes but EMH was decidedly retro even for its time and thus was never gonna be an influence I'd argue.
Though in parts it is with stuff like his classic garbs appearing (in some shape or form) or them actually making him and Nat a "thing" which AA didn't dabble in the MCU teased before saying no whedon't do that.
Pun intended.
But both of these things are probably more the influence of the comics themselves rather than EMH.

Hey all, I just want to clarify on the actual number of Hawkeye solo runs. I think some of them weren't collected. And I don't know if I should count Solo Avengers?
1) Hawkeye (1983) by Mark Gruenwald #1-4
2) Hawkeye (1994) by Chuck Nixon #1-4
3) Hawkeye - Earth's Mightiest Marksman (1998) by Tom Defalco #1
4) Hawkeye (2003) by Fabian Nicieza #1-8
5) Ultimate Comics: Hawkeye (2011) by Jonathan Hickman #1-4 (it's not 616 Hawkeye so does it count as a solo run?)
6) Hawkeye: Blindspot (2011) by Jim McCann #1-4
7) Hawkeye (2012) by Matt Fraction #1-22
8) Hawkeye (2015-2016) by Jeff Lemire #1-5, #1-6
9) Old Man Hawkeye (2018) by Ethan Sacks #1-12
10) Hawkeye: Freefall (2021) by Matthew Rosenberg #1-6
I did not count Hawkeye (2016) by Kelly Thompson because that's more of a Kate Bishop solo run. So technically, 616 Clint Barton has a total of 9 solo runs? Is Occupy Avengers counted as a solo run?
I would count Solo Avengers / Avengers Spotlight (its continuation) even though it doesn't have Hawkeye in the name, because it's still a Hawkeye solo (well, half of every issue, anyway). There's also a miniseries in between Blindspot and Fraction's Hawkeye called Avengers: Solo which is a solo Hawkeye story.
So I realize no one has cared for the Avengers Game since its launch but I have collected some intel logs about Clint in that one now and here's his origin story there:
- Lost his parents
- Joined the circus
- Trained under Swordsman
- Joined the army
- Joined Shield
- Accompanied the Avengers on missions
- Stark told Fury "We are gonna keep him, that was probably your plan but whatevs he's ours now"
- Clint trains Kate and plans for her to be his successor
- A-Day happens and he's still an Avenger at that time apparently which makes it even weirder that he's not even mentioned in the campaign itself since at that time he must have been with the Avengers for years
Why do I bring this up? Because with rumors that we'll see circus flashbacks in the MCU Hawkeye show this might very well be his origin story in the MCU as well

That sounds cool and I'm excited about the show addressing Clint's origins, especially his recruitment to SHIELD and his ex-carnie past. I hope Coulson will make an appearance as well and I hope that Coulson played a part in Clint's recruitment. I would like to know more about Strike Team Delta as well. Hopefully, 6 episodes are more than enough to explore Clint as a character.
