This scene is the argument I use any time anyone tells me that he’s an irrelevant character.

HOW IT SHOULD’VE WENT
this seemed so natural and correct to me that I had to read it three times before I realized what was wrong with it
Okay I know I just reblogged this, but I’m not done with it.
Has anyone else thought about how much more compelling this simple change would have been thematically? We lose nothing of Clint’s character development, because a sister can be just as important and share the same concerns as a wife. But instead of an awkwardly underdeveloped romantic relationship, suddenly there’s a sibling relationship to parallel the Maximoffs. But Clint has chosen to protect his family and keep them out of it, while Pietro and Wanda have chosen to fight side by side. Give Clint a conversation with Pietro about family, and protecting their family. Make them disapprove of each other’s methods. Pietro’s sacrifice to save Clint is instantly so much more heartbreaking. Give us Clint fighting to bring Pietro’s body back, because he knows he needs to bring him home to Wanda.
Literally so much improvement with less than five minutes of the actual film changed
Was going to reboot anyway, but the commentary!
I AM RETCONNING AGE OF ULTRON: THIS MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE
Nathaniel Pietro Barton, you were named for two people I’ve once attempted to kill but ended up saving my ass. One of whom I’ve never seen coming, and he was the bravest man I ever knew.
Hawkeye’s speech.
Wanda: How could I let this happen?
Clint: Hey, hey. You ok?
Wanda: This is all our fault.
Clint: Hey, look at me. It’s your fault, it’s everyones fault who cares? Are you up for this? Are you? Look I just need to know because the city is flying… ok the city is flying, we are fighting an army of robots, and I have a bow and arrow. None of this makes sense, but I’m going back out there because its my job. Okay? And I can’t do my job and babysit. It doesn’t matter what you did or where you were. If you go out there, you fight. And you fight to kill. Stay in here, you’re good-I’ll send your brother to come find you- but if you step out that door, you are an Avenger.
Pietro: Keep up old man.
Clint: (points arrow after Pietro)
Nobody would know.
Nobody.
The last I saw of him Ultron was sitting on him.
That guy’ll be missed.
Quick little bastard.
I miss him already.
pietro: *returns in avengers 3 alive and well* i walked it off
steve: ….
clint: i saw that coming
