Hawkeye was okay. Didn't know Lalo Salamanca was in it...

The terrible Larping scene in episode 2 was almost atoned for by having Depeche Mode's Christmas Island playing over the end credits.

Just watched it with my 12 year old, she liked it. Looks promising to me, we will watch the second with Friday night chippy tea later.

Edit: Watched second episode, seemed to go on a bit, we all knew what it was setting up, just took ages to do it.

Hawkeye. Liked the first episode. A little less for the second episode. It's better than I expected so far.

Just watched first two episodes of Hawkeye and it’s a lot better than I thought it might be. A promising start at least.

Same as most. Wasn't that keen to start watching this, especially as he is seen as a lesser Avenger by myself. I still haven't watched Loki yet. Another one of my least favourite characters in the MCU.

Marvel’s Hit-Monkey, animated series voiced by Jason Sudeikis and George Takei is “available” now & meant to be pretty decent. Not one to watch with the kiddies though, judging by the blood & swearing in the first 5 minutes…

Really enjoyed Hawkeye 3. Good fun.

Pretty obvious who "Uncle" is to any Marvel fan...

Has anyone watched Debris?

Seemed like a great premise, but I'm 3 episodes in and so far it's... well, ****ing awful, to be honest. The two leads are entirely devoid of any chemistry, interest and acting ability, and so far, for a supposedly sci fi show, it's been decidedly short on science and all too long on the "power of love" to solve every situation.

Interested to know if anyone's watched it, and whether it gets any better. The reviews on IMDB are decidedly mixed, to be charitable towards it.

First trailer out for the Peacemaker TV series, spinning out of the crappy Suicide Squad sequel



Each to their own, but that looks like utter gargage to me

Minus 1 star for Spiderman being a big Spurs fan.

I'm still watching Debris, but by god it's a slog - they're trying to run it as a mix of X-Files and some sort of spy thing, and it's just dreadful. It's only my completion obsession that's driving me to get to the end, plus some reviews that says it gets better (when???)

Avoid reviews for Spider-Man: No Way Home if you don't want to see spoilers - there are apparently several which have leaked plot elements of the film

Been enjoying Hawkeye - Close second to Wandavision for me.

Going to struggle with Spidey spoilers. - I'm hoping to catch it at the IMAX in waterloo over Christmas.
