Yeah, probably because MCU Clint has 0 personality. He had like 3 lines in Thor and he spent most of Avengers mind controlled.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. His character in the movies can be summed as "duuuuuurrrrr". He's a mobile prop, not a character. I hope they stuff him in a fridge somewhere and bring in a better character.

[(Anonymous)]

...or maybe you should actually give him a chance in age of ultron (since its been reported that that aou is going to focus on Hawkeye a lot more) instead of instantly just wanting him to die...? I mean wow lol overreaction much.

Anyways yeah Clint's lack of character in Avengers is kinda annoying, especially in fic and fanart when he's written as stoic and serious, even though in the comics he's litterally the complete opposite of that.

[(Anonymous)]

I can't judge a character on unreleased material, only on already released footage. Want to take a guess as to why that is? based on previous screen performances, I'm happy with my suggestion of fridging that cardboard.

[kallanda_lee]

Yeah, and this is why he's also one of the hardest characters to write. How do ou write a correct version of a personality that hasn't really been touched upon very much in canon?

[(Anonymous)]

+1

Movie Clint is forgettable. Comics Clint isn't.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, I gotta disagree there. The writers didn't do much with him, but Jeremy did a great job portraying him as a sarcastic but well meaning guy.

[kaijinscendre]

I cannot remember a single scene about him. And the stuff I might remember, might be from fics or that SNL sketch he ddi.

[making_excuses]

I really need to find the entire SNL sketch, because the gif. I've seen is the closest thing anything has gotten me to giggle when I think of it.

[(Anonymous)]

No, he didn't. Renner is why MCU Clint is so unmemorable. An already nothing role exacerbated by a blandest of the bland actor.

I've seen a lot of arguments that he's one of the most successful out of the Avengers cast, however, being a background character in various successful franchises isn't an indicator of talent, it's being lucky/having good connections.

[iceyred]

The truth has been written. Even when they brought him out of that mind controlled stupor his personality still began and ended with 'Budapest' and shooting arrows.

[nightscale]

Yup, this is the entire reason right here. Which is why I'm kind of hoping AoU will give us more to go on for his character, but who knows?

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, pooh on you for this sentiment and on everyone who agrees with it. I don't agree so I'm just going to go sulk over here.

[astridv]

Yeah, I was gonna say, it's not like canon gave us that much material to work with. It's gonna be different after AoU (I hope!)

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know. There's some character there, it's just mostly by implication, and the bulk of it is secondhand from Natasha. It's still reasonably potent, though. "He made a different choice." That's a whole lot of character right there, in five words. The fact that he didn't kill her and, in a world where that kind of weakness should have got him killed, it made her listen to him instead, that also says a fair bit. And there was some onscreen personality as well. The opening scene of Avengers, where Clint gives the debrief to Fury on Selvig, I think it says a bit about Clint that in a room full of boffins and big-scale thinkers, he was the one who figured out that gates could be opened from both sides.

Yeah, it's really not a lot to go on, and Clint is probably about the least interesting of the movieverse characters, with the bulk of his characterisation actually being sort of reflected onto him by Natasha's reactions to him. But if you're writing him and like me you haven't read the comics, there is enough to at least sketch him out just from the movieverse.

[beverlykatz]

Pretty much. Half the time I don't remember he's actually a character in the movies. Utterly forgettable.
