Marvel Universe stuff

He went on Rogan and talked about it, too. Holy fuck man...

Yea he is not in Hawkeye shape. He is doing OKAY in Mayor in Kingston but he is really obviously limited.

1) If Hawkeye had a Season 2, Renner would have been limited to a mentor role, both because Kate is now the lead and because Renner is still physically limited - why would you pay a supporting actor lead actor rates?

2) There's definitely some severe penny-pinching going on at D+. Think about it, the only unaired Marvel shows were announced, if not actually filmed, years ago - Ironheart, Wonder Man, Zombies cartoon, Wakanda cartoon. Hell, that's not just Marvel - Star Wars only has more cartoons that were also started years ago and the relatively cheap cast of the (final) second season of Ahsoka. (I can't imagine why anyone would pay for D+ if it wasn't baked into another service you have.)

Is it 'disrespectful'? Sure. But it makes perfect business sense.

My "ackchually" capacitors started charging up but then I realized you probably meant the sentence you started your post with and not that first picture of Renner.

As far as paying Renner, I don't give a fuck about his stunts (which have always looked kinda shitty in the MCU through no fault of his own), I care about his wit, charm, and delivery which afaik aren't things that were crushed by the snow plow. His salary would probably still be insignificant against the overall budget of the show, he's still the fucking namesake of the goddamn show even if he's passing the mantle on to Kate, and the first season of Hawkeye was literally the only good show out of the entire first batch of D+ shows. Haven't really heard anything good about any of the subsequent shows either.

If Hawkeye wasn't profitable despite being so much better than the other shows then they should just shut down the whole fucking TV division.
