I don't really think his absence in CA:TWS needs explanation. It's a big organization and he was probably working, just not right there at that moment, which fits with the cut scene.

I want all the backstory and feels and I feel like they've hinted at giving a lot of that in AoU, so there's that.

What I really would love would if they brought in his deafness. I don't expect it though, and I don't want it if they can't do it justice and make it matter/mean something.

[Spoiler (click to open)]Also, that line the trailer? I'd love to see him in a mentorship/advice-giving role because in the comics, regardless of his issues "making his own stuff work," he tried and he was very good at teaching others how to do that. He's a pull himself up by the bootstraps type character, so hoping that shows up... )

If tyhat happens ill be screaming from New York.

I have Auditory Processing Disorder and Clint being Deaf really helps me relate to him so it will me everything to me if they do.

YUUUUUUP. Me too, to all of this spoiler-y stuff. I'm so fascinated by Clint's relationship with everyone.

One thing I would love to see in the MCU which is so far fetched is his relationship with Melinda May and Phil Coulson. I still headcanon to hell that Philinda were his mentors when first joining into SHIELD and recruited him in the MCU. I'd like that to be a reality.

Alas I think the only backstory we are seeing is Nats

and the only interaction we'll probably see is if Clint goes to AOS.

I really do think he may show up in AoS... because Bobbi.

I think this too. I am desperately (and by desperately I mean I am enjoying the hell out of it) catching up with AoS. Just watched season 2 episode 1 yesterday (SO EFFIN GOOD) so I'll be all set going into Avengers 2 and hopefully a Clint ep somewhere at the end of the season...

Well, I think he's been in Afghanistan (that throwaway line in Cap2 about the parking spot?) ...

And YES to deafness showing up. [I think I better put the rest of my musings under a spoiler cut] There was a scene somewhere of him being on a gurney on the Quinjet or something, if I recall correctly, which makes me think that this would be a good time (so to speak) for him to lose his hearing. Then not hearing could become the secret weapon against Ultron ...

Also, that whole farm scene with the dinosaur in the window and the kids' drawings. I say, Scarlett Witch-induced alternate reality, created to give the Avengers a safe haven for a bit, and which Clint has to give up for the final battle. (I kinda have a fic brewing on that one, which I hope to get written before the movie starts...)

pls to be clarifying (since I"m not using a cut, I'll be vague) about pictures?? I've not seen/noticed it....

I agree with you about the throwaway line in Cap TWS. I've watched and backed up several times to try to get clarification on that line and haven't been able to quite catch everything, but I agree I think it's a reference to Barton.

I think she is asking about the drawings on the windows?

Yes! A thousand times "Yes!" More Clint Barton.

So, I’ve been waiting to dump these thoughts out and I think now is a good time. [But, just to be safe, I’m putting everything under the spoiler cut (including an AoS reference).]Here goes... )

Ok I have tried responding to this twice and my computer was being dumb yesterday).

Like most everyone else, I want the deaf-storyline to be a thing in the MCU.

I also want to see his interactions with the other Avengers, want to get a taste of his history, want to know everything about his past, present, and future with Nat ;), and would love a Barney mention, although not expecting it.

But what I'm most curious about, and I know we will get, is just to know his personality. Clint in the comic books is one thing (and even that varies), but I think MCU Clint will be a bit different.

[Spoiler (click to open)] What we know from the interviews is Clint is a bit of a snarky grump (which we have already seen), and he isn't a big company man. He respects and is loyal to Fury and Cap. I kind of get the sense he has a dual nature...likes spending time by himself, is a bit sarcastic about how he sees the world. But also likes collecting people ;) in the best possible way. I think Loki's "you've got heart" wasn't just a throwaway line.)

oh, nothing Joss writes is throwaway. I agree, I think that line links directly to the way Renner and Joss see Clint.
