My point is the same one I made long ago — I don't find anything particularly impressive or novel about sticking Hawkeye in an episode of a '70s private eye show, and I don't know why other people do.

"You want to talk about attitudes, then why bring up a moral boy scout in Captain America or a brooding/tortured Daredevil in comparison?"

Here is Fractions description of what you consider to be modernizing the character:

"You mean like how Tarantino played with blaxploitation in Jackie Brown or the grindhouse genre with Death Proof?"

"Well I accepted Fraction's Hawkeye as a character just fine. "

I eagerly await your modern take on Shang Chi, making him accessible to new readers by plunking him in a 1970s kung fu flick …

Counterpoint: It was never funny

As a creative, you would bring a character into the new century by emulating a 1970s TV show/Altman movie?

"They did?"

I understand why Marvel wanted a way to create more Inhumans, but yeah, having Black Bolt be the instigator of that really sucked.

I assure you, Matt Fraction must be a fan.

They managed to do it with Carol, Jessica Drew, Luke and Danny, etc., without throwing away the essential natures of the character in the process.

…by reheating some old Rockford Files episodes?

I was ok for the first half, because I kept expecting him to have a "I've beaten the Abomination. I've saved the Universe!" moment. But that moment never came.

Is this where I say "bro" a whole bunch in response, because that's hilarious?

This is how we get Batman vs Superman, you know.

This is exactly my major problem. I mean, he was fighting in alien space soldiers at the same time over in the Avengers books …

Allan Heinberg in Young Avengers

I just … the great adoration for it just mystifies me (outside of the art, which is some of favorite, totally fair).

Unpopular opinion: I greatly dislike Fraction's Hawkeye and I'm very concerned this will be Fraction-lite.
