It has become sort of an Internet meme to poke fun at Hawkeye in the Avengers movie. People call him useless and weak, and just generally not on the same level as the other heroes on the team. Now, sure, he isn't super strong, doesn't fly, etc. but damn he scored some nice goals in the movie.
He nearly took down the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier. He knocked Loki right out of the sky.
I'm not a big fan of Hawkeye, but I can give props to a non-super powered guy who manages to hold his own and score like that beside gods of myth and technology.
People don't even give Black Widow as much crap and she doesn't have any super powers either. But she has the finesse to handle things -- like bringing in Doctor Banner peacefully and interogating Loki -- that the big guys would only turn into a stupid brawl.
So why do so many people belittle Hawkeye?
